Chapter 024 Help Jenny Out
Jenny couldn’t hold back finally and asked, “Didn’t you bring Laura here? Why didn’t she come in?”
“Just have your meal. What a mess you’ve been thinking about all day?”
“When did I say I was bringing her here?”
“It’s you stupid or me?”
Jenny, “…”
He really took every opportunity to undermine her.
Halfway through the meal, Lucy finally couldn’t help herself and spoke up, “Barret, where is your wife? It’s been
two years since you got married, and I as your sister haven’t even seen her. Today is grandpa’s 80th birthday.
and won’t she come out to meet everyone?”
Barret glanced at her coldly, and his eyes were full of warning.
If Lucy had been smart enough to shut up, this would have been over.
But she didn’t know what she was doing and had to make things worse, “Barret, your wife is too ignorant and
doesn’t respect grandpa at all. It must be that she comes from a poor family, so she was too ashamed to show
up in public.”
“In fact, we are just curious about what she looks like? Fat or thin? Beautiful or ugly? We just want to meet her!”
Hearing that, Gemma also added exaggeratedly, “Yes, Barret, your sister has a point. I also especially want to
see her. I heard that she was hell-bent on marrying you. Tsk, she simply does not know the shame…”
Gemma’s words were not finished when suddenly, Barret put down the chopsticks and coldly looked at them.
The pair of metal chopsticks made a thumping sound on the thick wooden table.
The next moment, Barret slowly stood up, slender fingers pointing to Lucy and Gemma, and said
expressionlessly, without mercy, “Now, immediately get these two people out.”
“Wh-what?”
Lucy’s lips twitched and she couldn’t believe what she was hearing.
Today was grandpa’s 80th birthday, and on such an important occasion, Barret was going to kick her and mom.
out.
Moreover, she didn’t expect that she was going to be kicked out by Barret after she just said some bad words about his wife who was in darkness and couldn’t stand the light.
“What’s going on? Did I not make myself clear enough? What are you still standing there for?”
Seeing Moore did not move, Barret became angrier, his dark eyes as cold as frost.
Now, Moore also knew that Mr. Smith was angry.
Although several generations apart, Lucy and Gemma’s last name was Smiths after all.
Moore hesitated and looked to old Smith.
“Old Smith, can I do…”
Grandpa Smith looked to Moore and nodded, “Just do what he says.”
Lucy and Gemma had expected Old Smith to back them up, but they didn’t expect even he wouldn’t help them.
Soon, the Smith Family’s bodyguards came in.
They looked very stout and stood on either side of Gemma and Lucy, “Please come out with us.”
Lucy sat still. She blinked her eyes and looked at Old Smith pitifully.
“Grandpa, although I’m not your own granddaughter, I’m at least a Smith family member. Today is your 80th.
birthday. On such a festive day, do you really want to blow me and my mom out?”
“My father died a long time ago. During these years, only my mother and I were dependent on each other to live.
Are you really going to be so cruel to me?”
Lucy’s bitter trick did work very well.
This was why Moore looked at the Old Smith after Barret gave the order.
Lucy’s father, Primo Smith, had passed away a few years ago. Since then, Lucy and her mother had suffered a
lot. Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
If it wasn’t for Old Smith who took care of them because they were distant relatives of the Smith Family, no one
knew what miserable life they would live.
Because they were from Smith’s family, the Old Smith was kind enough to help them, but today they dared to
openly humiliate his grandson-in-law at the table, which was what the Old Smith couldn’t stand.
“Grandpa, ‘I know I’m wrong. I’m a big mouth and I shouldn’t have laughed at Barret’s wife. Please forgive my
mom and me for once!”
“Grandpa, I’m sorry. I really know I’m wrong.”
Lucy wept bitterly and sincerely confessed her fault that Old Smith almost melted with sympathy.
At this time, Gemma seized the opportunity that she looked at Lillian and grabbed her arm.
“Sister-in-law, although Primo and Lionel are not blood brothers and only cousins, they are a family after all and have the same grandpa. For the sake of my sister-in-law which I’ve called you for so long, please help us say a few good words.”
Over the years, Lillian had indeed taken care of Lucy and Gemma because of Primo and Lionel’s cousinhood. At times, she had heard their arrogant words.
But thinking that they were from Smith’s family, Lillian didn’t hold them accountable for their mistakes as long as they didn’t go too far.
Lillian didn’t expect that it was her connivance that turned them become greedy, bullying, and vain.
Lillian pulled out her arm calmly, then looked at Gemma, “You’re right that you called my sister-in-law for so many years. I shouldn’t have been so righteous, but did you ever appreciate me. Who was it that Lucy just mocked?”
“She is Barret’s wife. Mocking Barret’s wife is mocking Barret and me.”
At this time, if Gemma and Lucy had just gone out, the Smith family would not have made things difficult for
them later.
But they did not know what was good for them. Lucy pushed the bodyguard away and cried, “Grandpa, you can’t
do this to me.”
“Grandpa…
Lucy ran over in tears and surprisingly knelt down directly next to Old Smith.
There were many people at the banquet, and Lucy’s crying naturally drew a lot of attention.
“You have three seconds to stop crying right now.”
Being looked at coldly by Barret, Lucy meekly shut up.
Lillian looked askance at Lucy and said, “There’s something I didn’t want to bring up because I wanted to save
some face for you, but since you don’t want it, I’m going to be unkind to you.”
“Just now Jenny was pushed into the swimming pool. Do you know who pushed her?”
Hearing this, Lucy suddenly turned pale.
Jenny?
Lucy remembered this name and she heard that Jenny was an orphan girl adopted by grandpa, who very much
favored her.
She didn’t expect the girl sitting next to her grandpa was Jenny.
