Chapter 19 New Look


    Chapter 19 New Look


    If they let it pass to please the old man, Rejo would be totally discredited in this house. Even her


    mother didn''t care about her reputation. How would the others do? But if they didn''t ept it, not


    only Nick and his family would be offended, but Burton also would be annoyed. It might make


    Jacquelyn''s life even harder. It remained to be seen whether Jacquelyn was willing to confront them


    or sacrifice her daughter.


    Rejo was usually quite naive, but she had worked for a few years and wasn''tpletely


    ignorant. She immediately figured out what was going on. The mockery in their eyes could be


    ignored, but she couldn''t turn a blind eye to Jacquelyn''s difficult look.


    Rejo sighed. No matter how much she hated Jacquelyn, Jacquelyn was the one who had given


    her life. Jacquelyn hadn''t left her or sold her at the most desperate time. Instead, Jacquelyn had


    nursed her to adulthood. So, she couldn''t see Jacquelyn beingughed at by everyone. In the end,


    she decided to swallow her pride and let it pass. After all, from the time she followed Jacquelyn to


    this ce, she had lost her dignity.

    "I..."


    "What are you guys all gathered here for?" A low, elegant voice drowned out Rejo''s faint voice.


    The familiar voice made Rejo''s heart skip a beat. Her eyes, which were looking down,


    immediately glimmered with delight. She couldn''t help but look up, but when she saw who was


    standing there, she covered her mouth in shock.


    "Jason, what happened to you?" Burton trembled on his crutches and went to Jason''s side. The


    sternness he had shown Rejo turned into concern.


    Rejo stared at Jason unblinkingly, her hand still covering her mouth. His face was covered in


    bandages!


    The man who had taunted her earlier for being a fool now looked like a swollen bun. Half of his face


    and even his neck were wrapped in bandages. He looked like a mummy who had escaped from the


    museum.


    His look obviously shocked everyone. Even Jacquelyn, who was torn, was distracted by him. She


    let go of Rejo''s wrist and wondered what the apple of everyone''s eye was up to.


    Jason wasn''t gentle with Burton. The part of his face revealed was cold and serious. "If you want to


    know how I became like this, you should ask your granddaughter. Georgina poured the steaming


    soup down on my face! I want to ask her. How did I offend her? Why did she do this to me?"


    Georgina defended herself with a pale face. "No, it wasn''t me."


    "You mean I wronged you? Hiry, you were there too. Tell me, did Georgina throw the tray at my


    head?"


    Jason didn''t give Georgina an opportunity to speak. There was no point in saying so much and


    pulling the cause and effect around. It would only make things moreplicated and unclear. No


    matter what the reason was, it was a fact that Georgina had burned him.


    Hiry naturally would not cover up for Georgina. In front of Burton''s watchful eyes, she slowly


    nodded. "Yes, Georgina did it. But she didn''t mean to. She..."


    Hiry couldn''t finish her sentence. What could she say? That Georgina had deliberately poured it


    on Rejo''s head to disfigure her? If she said that, Georgina would still be punished.


    No matter what Georgina''s motives were, the fact remained that she had hurt Jason. This alone


    was uneptable to Burton. So why should Hiry offend Jacquelyn for someone who was


    destined to be abandoned?
