Chapter 594
Nydia felt as if she’d plunged into an icy abyss, a hurricane of cold dread rising from her trembling chest. Her cheeks, once flushed with embarrassment, now drained of color, her pallor heartbreaking to behold.
She stared into Mrs. Dempsey’s tear–filled eyes, seeing through the facade of her performance to the disdain she harbored within.
In the past, Nydia might have turned on her heel and fled to a lonely corner to wallow in self–pity and tears.
But this time, a reckless courage surged through her, a daring to confront the Dempsey clan head–on.
All she did was love Jason.
Was love a crime? Why should she bow to them?
If she ran now, tail between her legs, wouldn’t she be admitting that Mrs. Dempsey’s words were true?
“Ms. Nydia, did you understand what I’ve said?” Mrs. Dempsey maintained her frail demeanor, yet her tone was icy.
Jason’s broad shoulders quivered, the veins in his neck bulging as if they might burst, “Why lash out at me? How can you, as an elder, say such things to the woman I love? What has Nydia done to deserve this?”
“Jason, how dare you speak to your mother like this! You’re way out of line!” Dave finally lost his patience and scolded sharply.
