Unfinished Business with You novel

Chapter 824

"I said that you're hateful!" Jewel said before she stood up to leave.

A furious Stefanie grabbed her. "Hold it right there, you! Who are you calling hateful? Is this how you speak to an elder?"

"Someone like you deserves no respect," Jewel replied as she enunciated each word clearly.

"You're the one clinging on to my son shamelessly!" Stefanie snapped.

Jewel snorted, "You think so highly of your son, huh. With a mother like you, your son would be a bachelor sooner or later!"

Stefanie was utterly enraged by Jewel's words as she raised her hand and swung it at Jewel's face, but Jewel stopped her mid-air. Despite her boiling fury and struggles, Stefanie could not break free from Jewel's grip.

Jewel fixed her cold, deadly gaze on her as she warned, "Don't start a fight, or it will be bad if you're hurt." Then, she shoved Jewel aside and stormed off.

Stefanie staggered backward from the force of Jewel's actions, but she didn't forget to curse at Jewel. "You should just forget about that idea. I'd rather die than let you date my son!"

However, Jewel didn't care about her anymore. Perhaps she had been too irritated and spoke so much that her throat felt like it was burning.
