Chapter 20
Jasmine might hate Jeanne but because Alexander warned her not to do something rash, the girl did not cross the line. All she wished for was Jeanne to marry the prick, Thedus, and get the money from the Locke family.
The guests claimed that they were there to celebrate Old Master Lawrence’s birthday but they were actually there to win favors because the Lawrence family would soon be in-laws with the Swan family.
Moreover, her wedding with Eden was also around the corner. They were already preparing for the event, so she forced herself to forget Jeanne for the time being and focus on the preparation.
During Jonathan’s 78th birthday, some guests were invited to the manor for dinner. It originally started as a small gathering but ended up with all the nobles and blue bloods at their door.
The birthday even attracted a huge crowd to the manor. Fortunately, the place was big enough to house 100 plus guests, and it made the spacious manor a little more lively than usual.
After that, she could come up with a thousand ways to torture Jeanne. She strongly believed she could make Jeanne wish that she was dead instead.
“I didn’t even hold you responsible for what happened to my mother the other day! Try to behave yourself today!” Thedus threatened her.
Even after he arrived at the manor, he did not talk to anyone and came straight to the pavilion. He seemed to be waiting for someone.
He put the lollipop back into his pocket and said, “This is my first time at your house. Can you please give me a tour around?”
George turned around and found Fourth Master Swan standing at the pavilion behind him. He had no idea when the man appeared.
By right, Old Master Lawrence’s birthday should be attended by Eden’s father. Why would Fourth Master Swan attend instead?
It was Teddy’s first time listening to his master introducing himself this solemnly and yet the kid barely reacted.
Edward nodded. “Still, you know the place better than me. This place is so big, I’m afraid that I might get lost.”
As far as he knew, his master hated children. Even Third Master Swan’s children dared not approach their uncle.
“My teeth are growing. My mom said having too much candy will give me cavities.” George declined the offer.
Edward stared at the boy blankly. He saw the seriousness on the boy’s face when he expressed his hatred.
