Chapter 822

"Were you there that day when Mr. Road's mother came that day?" Tiffany asked. "She kept asking questions about Jewel Fenton. Maybe she disagrees with how Mr. Road handled the situation, too."

"Exactly. Just get rid of her quickly. I don't mind losing to you. After all, you're prettier and more capable than me, but it will be so embarrassing for me if I lose to Jewel, who can't even string a coherent sentence herself!" Mary exclaimed.

Tiffany sighed helplessly. "Well, what can we do since Mr. Road likes her?"

While they were happily chatting away, she pushed the bathroom door open and met Jewel's sharp eyes. Immediately, she froze on the spot, and her mind went blank as she stopped in her tracks awkwardly.

Mary went on with her criticisms, utterly unaware that the topic of their discussion was standing right outside, saying, "Yeah. She's neither gentile nor pretty, and she isn't even ladylike. Furthermore, she's a mute…"

She walked out while talking and caught sight of Tiffany's expression. She quickly sensed something amiss, so she followed Tiffany's gaze and shut her mouth with her snap when she saw Jewel's face.

Mary's heart sank to the bottom of her stomach at the sight. Oh, no! she thought.
