Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress

Chapter 1348: Hire and fire

It was true when Jessa said she didn't care how Priscilla was alive-after all this time, everyone believed Priscilla had died in childbirth. Wasn't that the reason Penny had ended up in Jessa's care?

Whatever the reason, Priscilla had no right to be a mother.

When Jessa calmed down, she quickly called Allison over to her home. She couldn't call Lester, knowing he was busy with work. Besides, the news Jessa had would only worry her husband. So, she called Allison for one reason.

"I'm going to kill someone, Allison," Jessa announced the moment the front door opened. "Is Penny's lawyer good enough to keep me out of prison?"

Allison's brows shot up in surprise, her mouth slightly agape.

"Alright...?" she breathed out, blinking. "I see you woke up today and chose violence."

Sighing, Allison held up the basket she was carrying. "I brought you some fruit. Charles got them from a friend-these aren't in season."

"Tch." Jessa clicked her tongue, watching the oblivious Allison step inside with a smile.

"I'll just prepare this, and we can talk over some snacks." Allison hummed as she headed to the kitchen. But as she passed the living room, where Jessa was slumped on the couch, Jessa spoke again.

"That bitch just showed up in front of me."

Allison stopped in her tracks, turning back. Jessa rocked her head, giving her a knowing look. freewebnovel.com

"Yes, that one."

The smile on Allison's lips faded as confusion flickered across her face. "You mean... that bitch?"

"Exactly. That lying bitch," Jessa growled through gritted teeth.

Allison's plans to wash the fruit vanished. She rushed to the single-seater, set the basket on the table, and turned to Jessa squarely.

"How is that even... Jessa, are you sure?" Allison asked, frowning. "Nina's mom

"She's not Nina's mother!" Jessa snapped, jabbing a finger between them. "Nina's mothers are right here-us! That woman doesn't deserve the title."

"But... didn't she die?"

"That woman is a lying vixen," Jessa huffed, pressing her palm to her chest as if to calm her rising blood pressure. Leaning back, she let out another sharp exhale. "God forgive me, but I swear, I'm going to kill her."

"Are you really sure?"

"I hate that vixen so much that if I could, I'd dig up
