195 This woman is what's going on!

Meanwhile...

Since it was the start of the exam week for every student, Allison suggested she and Jessa make something for the children. Fortunately, Jessa didn't make a fuss about it. Hence, the two of them were currently in the mall.

"Mrs. Cortez, I'll just..." Allison trailed off as she turned in the direction where Jessa was, only to see the latter happily go to a boutique.

No wonder no matter how you tried to raise her nicely, she's a rogue." "Mrs. Miller, I know our families hadn't been on good terms with everything that is happening between my husband and your husband. However, please, leave out our family matters," Allison warned with calculated firmness and calmness. No matter how angering Mrs. Miller's remarks were, they were in public. "Moreover,
