Chapter 2157
When Jessie and Aaron heard the commotion on the walkway, they thought something bad had happened. So, they stood up and walked outside. But as soon as they opened the door, they heard what Jaylene had just said, and Jessie's expression immediately darkened.
When Darcie saw Jessie and Aaron appearing at the walkway, she suddenly felt the urge to disown Jaylene right there and then.
'I can't believe how stupid my daughter is!' Darcie thought to herself.
Then, Jaylene heard someone shouting angrily from behind. "You little wretch! Who are you calling fat and ugly?!"
Jaylene paused, turned around, and saw Jessie with an angry expression and Aaron looking pale.
Aaron was not really fat, but his face was somewhat round. His build was sturdy but did not look bloated. His features were very delicate; if Stella had been there, she would have immediately noticed that his eyes looked very much like Keegan's.
Keegan was a very attractive man. Jackson, who looked just a bit like him, attracted many women with just his looks. On the other hand, Aaron's eyes were about seventy percent similar to Keegan's. So, if he were a little skinnier, he would undoubtedly capture many women's hearts with his appearance alone.
Aaron had been spoiled since childhood, getting whatever he wanted at home. Because of that, he became a little chubby from a young age and had been made fun of by classmates. This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.
He tried losing weight several times and succeeded, too. However, whenever he got busy and stopped exercising, his body would return to its previous state.
He felt insecure and did not dare to like anyone before going to university. Only when he went abroad to study and met Jaylene, who treated him extremely well, did he start feeling better about himself.
Even though people showed interest in him when he was studying abroad, he never dated anyone because Jaylene did not like it.
He thought that Jaylene liked him, especially because she treated him so well and even kissed him. So, he could not figure out why she would call him "fat" and "ugly."
Aaron's heart broke as he looked at Jaylene with reddened eyes. "Jaylene, do you not like me?"
Jaylene felt a slight discomfort in her chest. Although Aaron treated her very well, he could never "him."
Besides, Keegan was right beside her. She could not afford to let him misunderstand anything.
So, she took a deep breath and said through gritted teeth, "Don't you ever look in the mirror? I was just messing with you because I was bored. Did you really take it seriously? I'd never like someone who looks like a pig!"
As soon as Jaylene finished speaking, Jessie stepped forward and slapped her. "You bitch! Who do you think you are?"
It happened so fast that even Darcie could not react in time. When she realized what just happened, she quickly stood in front of Jaylene to protect her.
Jessie continued to shout and wanted to hit Jaylene again, but Aaron held her back. "Mom, Mom. Am I not embarrassed enough already?"
Jessie's fingers trembled, and her heart broke as she looked at her son, who was betrayed yet still had a soft spot for Jaylene.
Darcie was so angry that her head started throbbing. However, she still managed to suppress her anger and said, ' Mrs. Depp, this is my fault for not educating my daughter well. I'll make her visit you personally and apologize to you another day." "Forget it!" Jessie almost spat on Darcie's face as she yelled, "We're not worthy enough! Rivera is a big place. Don't let me see this little bitch again. If I do, I'll slap her again!"
Then, she pulled Aaron's arm and walked away. However, he still could not get over Jaylene. He kept looking back until Jessie dragged him into the elevator.
Grace swept her glance across the hypocritical mother-and-daughter duo and said flatly, ”Oh, by the way, I'll only be dealing with Ms. Hall going forward; she presumably hasn't told you about this. She will be the only person managing my collaboration with Caline.
"Also, you can delete my number now. I'll only speak to Ms. Hall if there's anything."
