Chapter 41
It was not because Jeanne often came to the Swan Residence. Since the gardens were separated, it was actually very difficult to see her. The driver knew her because there was once when she and Young Master Swan kissed at the main entrance, and he happened to be driving Fourth Master Swan back. Teddy and Young Master Winter were also in the car. At that time, Young Master Winter teased, “Didn’t they say that Jeanne doesn’t even let Eden hold her hand? He kissed her just like that?! Women are all pretentious!”
Jeanne remembered when she was 18 years old, Eden accompanied her through her coming of age. Eden was drunk, so she sent him back. At the entrance, Eden dragged her out of the car and blocked her at the gate, saying that he wanted to give her a kiss no matter what. At that time, Jeanne had rejected him, and no matter how much Eden begged her, she did not give in. She thought at that time that once they got married, she would give him all the good things…
She was about 10 years old back then. One summer vacation, she followed Jasmine to Jenifer’s parents’ house to play. At that time, she did not think much of it. Now that she thought about how she almost drowned in the pond back then, she wondered if it was a conspiracy of this family.
The chauffeur seemed to want to make the atmosphere less awkward, so he took the initiative to speak again. “Actually, I’ve known you for many years, Ms. Lawrence. Back then, when you and Young Master Swan were dating, I already knew about you.”
“We haven’t seen each other for so many years, and you’ve grown up to be so beautiful,” Phoebe praised repeatedly and quickly introduced, “Oh right, this is my youngest son, Paul. He’s exactly the same age as your son. They can play together.”
Phoebe was over 40 years old, but her son was only six years old. Jeanne had heard that in order to make Phoebe give birth to a son, the Fabians had forced her to have countless abortions. Their wish probably came through.
Jeanne was very clear that George did not like to play with people of the same age. At that moment, in order not to cause unnecessary trouble, she squatted down and said to George, “Be good and play with Paul.”
“You forgot about me. Back then, you and Jasmine came to our city to play. I even brought you to the pond to catch fish,” the person who called herself Jeanne’s aunt quickly said.
At that moment, besides some gossipy old ladies, there were many men and women of the same age surrounding Jasmine. Everyone was giving her all sorts of compliments and flattery.
“Don’t you recognize me? Back then, you came to our city with Jasmine. I brought you and Jasmine out to play. You used to call me Brother Black Bull,” the man introduced himself.
“Yes,” the chauffeur said respectfully, “Fourth Master planted these bamboos himself. He plants some bamboo every year, and they eventually turned into a bamboo forest.”
His aunt said that as long as he hooked up with this woman, he would be the son-in-law of the Lawrences in the future. Naturally, he would be rich and powerful!
“I’m working in our city now, and my job is alright. It’s just that my marriage a few years ago didn’t go well, so I divorced my ex-wife last year.”
The place where Fourth Master Swan lived was very big with a typical black and white style. It was very similar to the feeling that he gave people…
It was not Jeanne’s fault for suspecting the Fabians. She was just very clear that those who were suddenly courteous must not have good intentions.
In the living room, a woman walked over with a child. She said very enthusiastically, “Jeannie, do you still remember me? I’m your aunt.”
