“You insulted my mother, so I just taught you a lesson,” Adina said calmly.
“You could have just insulted her back in the same way. Why did you use violence?” Zhenny
questioned her angrily.
“I don‘t insult elders because I‘m a cultivated person.” Adina sneered. She unzipped her purse and took
out a card.
“Here‘s $10,000,000 to cover the medical fees for treating your finger and your psychological pain. Is it
sufficient?”
“No, it‘s not!” Jasmine screamed at a high pitch.
“I want you to experience the pain of a broken finger. I‘ll even pay you $20,000,000!” “If you don‘t want
it, fine.” Adina kept her card.
“Duke, take the kids. We‘re going home.”
Duke nodded indifferently. “Ms. Yackley, you insulted my mother–in–law. I won‘t let this slip. It‘s New
Year‘s Eve today, so I won‘t look into it for the time being. I hope you‘ll behave yourself.”
?
He glanced at Jasmine with hostility before he gave Zhenny a look of gentle warning. He held Adina‘s
waist with his left hand while he held George‘s hand with his right. George held his siblings, and the
family of six walked out of the Jones family‘s mansion together.
?
As soon as the six of them disappeared, Jasmine burst into tears. “Why? How could she still be so
arrogant after she hurt me? Mom, Grandpa, are you just going to watch while I‘m harmed? Uncle
Dillon, your precious daughter is tormenting me. Aren‘t you going to say something?” Dillon glared at
her.
“Addy‘s mother is off limits to her and to me. You should be glad that I didn‘t hear those words in
person, or else I would‘ve likely disowned you as my niece!”
“Yes, I scolded her mother! But was she right to break my finger?” Jasmine winced her teeth and said,
“I insulted her mother as a personal attack, but she used violence to intentionally injure me. I can call
the police!”
Zhenny appeared disappointed. “Dillon, you‘re indulging your daughter too much. She grew up
illegitimately without any manners, yet you defend her unconditionally. If she kills someone, would you
still protect her? The Jones family isn‘t capable of standing up to the Winters Corporation, so Jas and I
will have to put up with this, but that doesn‘t mean we think we‘re in the wrong!” She held Jasmine
tightly and coldly said, “Let‘s go to the hospital!” It was not until Zhenny left the mansion with Jasmine
that Mr. Jones said,
“It was Jasmine‘s fault, but Addy went too far. Dillon, if you have the time, you should educate Addy
and get her to behave herself.”
Even though family members quarreled, it should not escalate to the extent of injuring anyone no
matter what.
Mr. Jones shook his head before he turned around and went to the living room. Dillon sighed.
The extended luxurious car moved smoothly on the street.
The children were sitting at the back while Adina and Duke were sitting in the front seats.
Adina lowered her head and looked at her hands. She did not understand why she had suddenly
injured Jasmine either.
Based on her past temperament, she would just slap her at most.
Breaking a finger by force was really too much. “Addy, stop thinking about it.” Duke wrapped his arm
around her and whispered, “That‘s the consequence of offending people. It has nothing to do with you.”
Adina shook her head. “I don‘t want to think about this unhappy situation now.”
She turned around and looked at her children at the back.
“When we get home, take a shower first. After your shower, we‘ll watch the countdown show on TV
together. It‘s New Year‘s Eve tonight, so you can sleep after 12:00 am.”
She sounded gentle and happy, but the kids were unresponsive. After a few seconds, Alden eventually
said, “Okay, Mommy. I‘ll do the countdown with you.”
“Will we be five years old after the countdown?” George raised his head and asked.
“You‘ll be five years old, but it‘s only official after your birthday on May 20th.” Adina pinched Melody and
Harold‘s cheeks. “Why do you look so down?”
