    Chapter 20 Rejo, Stay!


    Burton''s attitude showed that he was satisfied with Jacquelyn as his wife for the time being. There


    was no need for Hiry to offend Jacquelyn. So, she swallowed the exnation she was about to


    give and said instead, "Georgina was careless. She certainly didn''t mean it!"


    "Take her away. The Sterling family can''t bear to have a brutal member who harms her family. How


    did I teach you guys? Take her back and make her remember. I don''t want to see her face again,"


    Burtonmanded without looking at Georgina. After announcing his decision, he turned to Jason


    and asked with concern, "Is it serious? Does it hurt? How about I send you to the hospital?"


    Georgina copsed to the ground, devastated. No one, her father included, dared defy the old man.


    She was finished!


    If she was driven away, she would not be able toe back again. Unwilling to live with her uncle


    and his family, she sprang to her feet and tried to plead, but Nics quickly caught her and


    reprimanded her in a low voice, "Silent!"


    Shaken by his stern voice, Georgina trembled and looked at him with pleading eyes, hoping he


    would put in a good word for her. But Nics frowned and refused to soften his heart. Instead, he


    looked at the oddly-shaped Jason and softened his voice. "Jason''s injury could be serious. We


    should take him to the hospital. It''s my fault for failing to discipline Georgina. I didn''t expect her to


    be so reckless and cause Jason to get hurt."


    Jason hummed indifferently. "Well, Dr. Auther said that it would depend on my recovery."


    Burton became even more distressed when he heard that. "I remember a doctor in our hospital who


    specializes in dermatology. Let her take a look at you!" He turned his head and red at Nics.


    "Get out of my face! I don''t want to see her again!"


    This is the property of N?-velDrama.Org.


    Terrified, Georgina cried as she tried to plead for mercy, but Nics covered her mouth and


    dragged her away.


    Heidi looked at Burton and Jason with a stiff smile. Sick of the crowd, Burton sent them away. "All of


    you can go now. I know it''s not easy to manage the household, but you can''t forget to teach your


    children. Our family doesn''t care about external things, but we can''t neglect the character of our


    children. Remember that!"


    Heidi stiffened subconsciously. "I know. It was my fault for not disciplining Georgina."


    Burton wasn''t usually too strict with his daughters-inw. But when he did speak up, his anger was


    palpable. Heidi resented Georgina for causing trouble for her. Yet, when facing Burton, she had to


    humbly admit her mistakes. If she tried to justify herself, it would only make Burton angrier.


    Sure enough, after Heidi admitted her mistake, Burton thought about how Heidi had helped Nics


    all these years. Raising so many daughters was no easy feat, and she deserved credit for her hard


    work. Besides, Georgina wasn''t her biological child, so it was unlikely that she would pay much


    attention to Georgina.


    At that, Burton didn''t make a fuss but waved his hand dismissively. "You guys can go now."


    "Rejo, stay!" Jason suddenly spoke up. He sat on the wide sofa with his fingers crossed and his


    feet resting on the coffee table and stared at Rejo, who was standing on tiptoe behind Jacquelyn.


    Once the words were out of his mouth, all eyes were on her. Rejo cursed inwardly but didn''t dare


    show any difference in her face. On the contrary, she obediently stood in ce and tiptoed.


    "Anything?"


    Heidi and Hiry both stopped in their tracks, specting why Jason had asked Rejo to stay.


    They remembered what Georgina had said earlier and looked at Rejo meaningfully. That was


    normal since women were naturally sensitive to such things.
