Hannah wasn’t young anymore, so she didn’t have the patience to watch her daughter kick around like some mindless child.
Her lips twisted in annoyance. “That’s enough. If you have something to say, then say it outright. Stop with the waterworks because I can’t hear a word you say.”
Despite this, Kayla’s tears kept pouring as she continued to thrash around. Hannah gave up and looked over at her daughter-in-law instead.
“What happened? Didn’t you guys go out for dinner? How did she end up like this?”
Sandra looked displeased. She uttered, “I’m not feeling well, so I’m heading back to my room now. You can ask Jacque what happened, Mom.”
The entire Wynter family was getting on Sandra’s nerves. She then turned and marched off resolutely.
At this, Hannah became furious. Even Kayla was upset as she cried out louder, “Mom! Sandra is clearly taking the enemy’s side! Mom, you have to—”
“Enough!” Jacque roared from being fed up.
Jacque’s words were law in the Wynters family. Hence, everyone was startled by his sudden instruction. Even Kayla held back her tears.
Hannah then looked calmly at Jacque as if motioning him to speak. After all, his words were the only ones she trusted.
Jacque’s tone was harsh. “Kayla, you’re over fifty years old. Yet your ability to tell right from wrong is skewed to this extent? Did your brain stop growing once you graduated from school? What do Shermaine’s crimes have to do with some innocent outsider? How dare you make accusations without any evidence!”
“Jacque, you know what happened. That woman caused my little Shermaine to—”
“To what? Illegally hire an assassin for murder? Did Clarissa outrightly ask her to that?”
“S-she forced Shermaine to…” Kayla mulishly denied.
Jacque’s jaw clenched in disapproval at how Kayla was blind to the fact that Shermaine was in the wrong.
At this, James finally spoke up, “Kayla’s just feeling sad about our daughter’s current situation. Please forgive her, Jacque.”
“Sad about your daughter? Your daughter is spoiled rotten by the two of you!”
Furious counter-arguments stirred James’ and Kayla’s minds. However, they bit down the urge to rebuke since Jacque seemed absolutely livid.
Especially since they needed Jacque’s help to get Shermaine released from prison early.
