Chapter 17 The Blemish

If not for Monica’s revelation, there was no way Jessica would believe that she and Melissa were born of different mothers, let alone the fact that Melissa’s mother used to be the housekeeper who tended to her own mother.

She lamented in her mind, “To have squeezed her way into my place, this illegitimate child of a housekeeper has plenty of tricks up her sleeve!”

After putting on a random outfit, Jessica caught a taxi back to the Jackson residence. The moment Jonathan, her father, saw her, he slapped her in the face before he even said a word.

“Where did you find the cheek to come home after disgracing our family?”

“Calm down, Jonathan. Jessica has just come back. What’s the point in being so angry? Besides, she’s still a child. It’s understandable for her to make mistakes.”

Rhonda Rousley, Melissa’s mother, approached them. Her long and slender fingers stroked Jonathan’s chest as she pacified him in a gentle tone.
