It was completely silent in the house for a moment.
Shannon spoke up after a long time. “Yeah, that’s right.”
Zoey smirked and said mockingly, “She’s my stepmother’s daughter. But I haven’t even seen her since I returned.”
Since they were both cunning women, there was no point for her to pretend to be innocent.
Since Shannon had agreed to let Zoey marry Jeremiah, it was a given that she’d looked into Zoey’s background.
She’d only approved of Zoey after learning of how capable Gemma was. Besides, she knew Yara wouldn’t dare to do anything to her. After all, Shannon didn’t want another daughter-in-law who was as useless as Yvette.
“You’ll have a lot of chances to see her in the future. Here. Make sure you eat more.” Shannon put on a fake smile, and it was clear that she didn’t want to talk about Yvette.
Zoey had just been trying to see how Shannon would react when Yvette was mentioned. From what she’d seen, she was confident that she’d be able to control the Lane family’s finances after she got married. After they finished eating, Zoey went on a walk with Jeremiah. Shannon had asked her to stay with them, and she hadn’t rejected the offer. She also wanted to know what Yvette was like.
“Jerry, I think it’s unfair for Xav. A person like Yvette isn’t worthy of him at all.”
Jeremiah stopped in his tracks, revealing no emotions at all. Instead, he just looked at her nonchalantly. “You seem to know a lot about her.”
Not only did that fail to curb her arrogance, but she also continued to yap nonstop.
“I’ve heard about her from my stepmother. Despite being the daughter of the Snyder family, she can’t do well in anything and was born with a hearing impairment. She can’t even manage a company or have a single talent. She’s really a failure.”
Jeremiah hadn’t expected his fiancée to talk about Yvette like that.
Zoey thought Yvette couldn’t manage a company and didn’t have any talent. However, she had no idea that Yvette had composed the song she’d tried so hard to get—and that too, without breaking a sweat. As for managing a company, the business Yvette had started had made way more than the amount of Lawrence’s money Zoey spent.
“Zoey, don’t talk behind other people’s backs in the future, especially when it comes to our seniors. I don’t like it.” Although Jeremiah sounded gentle as usual, his tone was cold. Zoey had wanted to say something else, but her face fell when she heard that. She wondered if Jeremiah was starting to dislike her. Besides, she didn’t see Yvette as her senior. Since Zoey had always been pampered, she didn’t know when to back down at all. “I was just stating the truth. If you don’t like listening to it, I won’t mention it ever again.”
After saying that, she stubbornly turned around and left. He didn’t try to catch up with her at all.
Meanwhile, Jackie had been
following them from behind. After
seeing what had happened, she hurriedly approached him and handed him a coat. “What’s wrong with Ms. Yandell, Mr. Jeremiah? She seems to be angry.”
He accepted the coat and put it on. Then, he calmly said, “Jackie, please get something for me. I’ll send you the address later.”
“Sure.” She didn’t ask anything else. After she received her instructions, she went to get what he’d asked for.
Once she left, Jeremiah took out his phone and looked at the text and drug a pharmacist had sent him. “This is an effective drug, Mr. Lane. I hope you and your fiancée have a great night tonight.”
