Chapter 16
“Didn’t you warn me about offending Fourth Master Swan? I just saw someone posted the news online and it was trending! Someone said that Fourth Master Swan originally wanted to give you the sapphire and you declined it, so it’s practically saying Jasmine is taking something that you don’t want. I can only imagine the look on her face! It’s like a huge slap in her face!”
“Do you want me to leak the news about the stone? I’ll tell people that Fourth Master Swan gave you the stone but you don’t want it, so he gave it to Jasmine. I’m sure Jasmine will surely be pissed and embarrassed by it…”
“She posted, and I quote, ‘Thank you, Uncle Edward.’, with a picture of that sapphire from last night! Oh my god! Is Edward Swan out of his mind?! He outbid Eden just to get the sapphire for Jasmine?! Ridiculous!”
Teddy was in the passenger seat, checking the messages on his phone. He saw the trends on social media and it made him gasp. He turned around and said, “Sir, someone is talking about you on the internet.”
“They say the sapphire that you gave Jasmine is the one Jeanne declined…” Teddy carefully sized up his master’s reaction when he informed the news. “I’ll send someone to deal with it immediately.”
“Now that Jasmine has that piece of stone, she’ll show it off! She’s already aggrandizing what Eden did for her before this and now with the stone from Fourth Master Swan, it’ll only get worse!”
“I know I left earlier than you yesterday but I heard Edward… Fourth Master Swan wanted to give you the sapphire. I didn’t even get to ask you about that and it ended up in Jasmine’s hand?”
“JEANNE! I’m losing my mind! Oh my god!” Monica’s furious voice came from the other end of the phone. She sounded like she was suffering a meltdown and was screaming crazily.
Aside from the audacious person who leaked the news, there were many media companies in South Hampton but which one was bold enough to post the news about Fourth Master Swan?
“There was a crowd when Fourth Master Swan wanted to give me the stone yesterday, and who do you think is audacious enough to deny it today?” Jeanne reminded her friend.
“Jeannie, you have no idea how much I hate her. The thought of what she did to you back then gives me the urge to strangle her alive!” Monica said with gnashing teeth.
“Have you forgotten how that b*tch snatched your man? How did your father beat you up and toss you out of the house? If I were you, I would f*cking kill that b*tch!”
Jeanne said, “It’s not news that Jasmine is a b*tch, so let her have her way for a few more days. Don’t worry, she won’t end well and she’ll get what she deserves.”
“Okay, calm down. I’m in the toilet. I’ll talk to you later.” Jeanne did not want to talk about Jasmine with Monica while sitting on the toilet bowl.
It was impossible for Jeanne to turn a deaf ear at what she heard from Monica. She did not expect Fourth Master Swan to give the sapphire to Jasmine.
“I’m sure I’m not the only one who dislikes Jasmine. Half of the high society despises her. If it wasn’t for Eden, no one would even talk to her.”
