Chapter 22
Jasmine smiled. “I guessed as much. How could someone like your fourth uncle fall for a woman who gave birth to a child? Speaking of which, I didn’t expect George to play the piano so well when he looks dumb and stupid. It surprised me. That said, Jeanne doesn’t know how to restrain herself. She’s deliberately trying to compare her son with that child from the Lockes. Isn’t she afraid that the Lockes will deliberately make things difficult for her once she becomes a part of their family? It has been so many years, but she still doesn’t know how to conduct herself. She’s still so arrogant.”
She had deliberately let her grandson perform on such an occasion to compare him with George. She wanted to make George appear useless and to vent her anger at the party last time! It never occurred to her that George, that unremarkable illegitimate child, was a piano genius. The thought of her grandson being outclassed by an illegitimate child made her even angrier!
“Octavia, Jeanne was deliberately making you and your grandson look bad,” a woman gossipped, “I’ve never seen someone who embarrasses her future mother-in-law. I’m afraid she’ll step on your head after she gets married to your son in the future.”
To Jasmine, the most important thing for her at the moment was to successfully become a Swan. Once that happened, she would no longer have to bear the title of an illegitimate daughter. In the future, everyone would have to suck up to her!
She was just testing Eden’s feelings for Jeanne. Back then, they broke up because she interfered. She was afraid that Eden would be seduced by Jeanne again. Now, it seemed that Eden was still disgusted with Jeanne.
Nox could not help but say, “Eldest Young Lady Lawrence has quite a personality! Every woman would be attracted to you, Fourth Master, yet she did not even lift her eyelids.”
Monica tried her best to pick up George and said excitedly, “Godson, you made me so excited just now. How can you be so amazing? How can your fingers be so flexible?”
“I saw. Fourth Master Swan is such a cold and aloof person, yet he applauded for a child… I’m afraid that Eldest Young Lady Lawrence will become more arrogant…”
Fourth Master Swan ignored Nox and said to Jeanne, “Eldest Young Lady Lawrence, please take us to Old Master Lawrence so that we can give him our wishes.”
Monica also found it hard to carry George. She put him down and turned her head to look at Jeanne seriously. “I think I misunderstood you before.”
He came here with Finn and the others. When he arrived, he saw a child playing the piano. He was shocked and felt that the child looked familiar.
“Jeanne’s best friend, Monica. Her husband is my fourth uncle’s personal doctor. They just happened to meet,” Eden said with certainty.
She could not let Jeanne seduce Fourth Master Swan as well. If that were to happen, would she be able to live well in the future?!
“That said, I really didn’t expect that son of Jeanne to be so capable. I thought he was just a good-for-nothing,” a woman added.
Monica came back to her senses. “Jeannie is just unordinary. How can she be compared to those women you’re talking about?”
“Impossible!” Eden denied it immediately. “My fourth uncle couldn’t have been seduced by Jeanne. She’s not so capable!”
