Wed to the Billionaire Brother of My Spouse by Doris

Chapter 638

Chapter 639 Jasmine Defends Avery

The Phillips family threw a big shindig for San Francisco's elite to show off Jessica's return and maybe set up a marriage alliance.

Sure, these elite families were all about their pride and power built up over generations, but they still needed those marriage connections to keep things rolling.

Jessica was the Phillips' only daughter, so she had to find a guy who was totally up to her standards. They needed to support each other to keep their power going strong.

"You're back, so I had someone pick out the best materials to make this necklace," Avery said, knowing Jessica had a thing for jewelry.

Even though she knew Jessica and Deborah were tight, she still had to show up. She had to bring something impressive.

If Jessica didn't like it, it meant she didn't get the rules.

Deborah strutted over with Jessica, looking all smug.

Jessica opened the box, took a quick look, and then snarked, "Is the Hawthorne family going broke? The CEO gives out stuff like this?"

Kayla got a bit ticked off, knowing this was just to stir the pot. "I thought you had good taste, but looks like you don't."

Jessica's face went dark, and she shot Kayla a cold look. "Avery, your assistant seems a bit clueless about the rules. You might want to rethink keeping her around."

Jessica was pushing Avery to fire her assistant.

"She's young, just out of school, and speaks without thinking. She doesn't get your status, Jessica. Cut her some slack," Avery stepped in, shielding Kayla.

Avery was tall, rocking high heels and a casual black suit, giving off a vibe most women couldn't match.

Jessica snorted. "Given the Phillips family's status in San Francisco, asking you to fire a small assistant isn't too much, is it?"

Avery replied coolly, "My people don't get fired that easily; it's a legal society."

Jessica suddenly slapped Avery. She did it on purpose.

Avery knew Jessica wanted to make a point to Deborah today.

Right now, Avery couldn't afford to tick off the Phillips family. She'd remember this slap.
