Alexander raised his hand and wanted to slap Jeanne's face.

Jeanne did not move. A cold glint flashed across her eyes.

That gaze caused Alexander to suddenly stop his hand in mid-air.

In an instant, he felt a chill run down his spine.

He seemed to see a glimpse of Jeanne's mother in her. It made him feel... terrified.

Jeanne asked, "Do you want to completely ruin the little affection left between us?"

Alexander's expression was ugly. He put down his hand fiercely and said, "Jeanne, you only care about yourself regardless of the reputation of our family. Don't think that I have any feelings for you."

"So, you're saying that I'm just a tool for profit. Not only me, but Jasmine and Joshua as well."

"Jeanne!" Alexander was furious.

Jasmine quickly said, "Sister, how can you say that about Dad? A family wouldn't talk about being a tool for profit. A family needs to help each other. Take me for example. If I can contribute to the Lawrences, I'd be very satisfied and proud. At least I'm not a useless person in the family."

"That's why you seduced Eden and exchanged yourself for benefits," Jeanne mocked.

"Eden and I are truly in love. How can you speak so harshly?" Jasmine said angrily. At that moment, her eyes were red.

Alexander looked at Jeanne's aggressive manner and said coldly, "Jeanne, look at the gap between you and Jasmine! Jasmine always sided with the Lawrences, whereas you only sided with yourself. You're so selfish, so what right do you have to question my feelings for you?! When you were 18 years old, you were still young and impulsive. Now that you're 25 years old, you're still like this. How do you think I should treat you?

"For the so-called interests of the family, I should sacrifice myself?" Jeanne laughed sarcastically. "When I was 18 years old, Eden and Jasmine cheated on me. When I was seeking justice for myself, you forced me to admit that my relationship with Eden was broken in order to continue the marriage with the Swans. You even asked me to give them my generous blessings! I went to the Swan family's residence to ask Eden for an explanation. When I came back, I was beaten half to death by you with a whip. I was even chased out of the Lawrence family's manor! I was cheated on, but because I didn't accept it generously, I became a heinous criminal?!"

Alexander was rendered speechless by Jeanne's words.

Jonathan said coldly, "The interests of the family can't be violated. No matter what grievances you've suffered, you must put the family first. You didn't stand on the side of our family, so it was a heinous crime to us!"
