Dear Sweetheart

Chapter 269 Lack Of Upbringing

Jasmine could barely keep herself calm. “I’ve never met a mother as wicked as you.”

“You would have done the same if you were in my place,” Emma said. “I would not be nitpicking if you came from a better family. However, take a good look at the difference between your own background and the Xavier family. The Xavier family will become the laughingstock of Norwal City if I allow you to marry into our family!”

“I applaud you for being callous enough to manipulate your own son’s future.” Jasmine suppressed the anger she felt in her heart. She could not afford to be seen fighting with Emma in front of so many prominent figures.

“I would not have done so if you had been more obedient.” Emma snorted. “You promised to have no contact with my son after accepting the money, yet you immediately turned around and wrote him a letter, informing him of our deal and telling him that you would wait for him no matter how long it takes. I wasn’t about to sit idly and let the matter slide. Are you telling me I should have waited for him to be discharged in three years and marry you? Well, I certainly did not expect Theodore to give up on his promotion and run overseas because of you.”

Jasmine quirked her lips. “You probably don’t know this, but we’re already married.”

“What do you mean?”

Jasmine lifted her right hand and showed off her ring finger. “I forgot. You don’t know about it because you weren’t invited. I was going to marry Curtis in order to obtain Sanders Group’s shares. However, he ran away on the day of the wedding, so I married Theodore instead. Your son was the one who put the ring on my finger.”

“You’re lying!” Emma raged. “Do you think you can deceive me by wearing a ring?”

“I’m not lying. If you don’t believe me, you can check with the Faymon and the Sanders family.” Before she departed, Jasmine leaned in close to Emma’s ear and whispered, “Also, I prepared a surprise for you. I hope you’ll look forward to it.”

Emma felt as if she was going to have a heart attack as she watched Jasmine saunter away.

Despicable illegitimate wench! Why must she continue clinging to my son? How dare she speak to me in that manner? Her lack of upbringing shows even after she’s gotten her hands on Sanders Group.

The waiter, who was passing by, spotted Emma’s empty glass and inquired, “Madam, would you like another glass?”

“No!” Emma refused coldly.

Just as the baffled waiter turned around to leave, she called out to him. “Wait!”
