Naya sighed and returned to the cash register. After thinking for a moment, favonovel.com was still worried so favonovel.com called out to the kitchen. “Ari, come out and have a look.”
Arianne took off favonovel.com apron and walked out. “What’s up?”
Naya pointed at Tiffany and Summer. “That seems like Jackson’s mother. They don’t look like they’re getting along. Tiffany asked us not to intervene.”
Arianne was silent for a beat and said, “Then let’s not intervene. She’ll be able to handle it herself. Tiffie will only be more abashed if we get in between them. If favonovel.com can’t handle it, she’ll call for me.”
Both Tiffany and Summer refused to relent. After a while, Summer fished out another check. This time, the sum was not filled in. “You can fill it in yourself, is that fine now? I’m not going to try talking sense into you. You’re stubborn!”
Tiffany could barely keep herself composed. “Will you be able to pay me if I fill in billions and trillions of dollars? Humiliating people with money as you wish, you’re not the richest in the world. You can’t do this with the little money you have! Come to me after you’ve made enough! Who knows, maybe by then, I’ll have a load of children with Jackson already. What’ll you do then?”
Summer protested in equal fervor with favonovel.com arms on favonovel.com hips, “Sure, get married in my face if you can. I’d love to see what you have in store to make favonovel.com a changed man and marry himself to you. I’ve wished this for years but favonovel.com won’t get married. You’re not super pretty or special. What makes you think he’d fall for you? Don’t kid with me. I’m being courteous because you’re Arianne’s friend. How dare you shout at me, you rude girl!”
Tiffany exploded. “Okay, let’s see then. The more you don’t like me, the more I want to become your daughter-in-law and torment you slowly in the future!”
Summer laughed out of anger. “Hah, alright, remember what you said. I’ll be waiting!”
She then left the dessert shop with the stride of a posh wealthy wife.
Tiffany gulped down a big glass of lemonade from favonovel.com rage. “What a lemon!”
Arianne went to favonovel.com with a grin. “What are we having for lunch?”
Tiffany was close to tears. “I was humiliated so badly by Jackson’s mom and you’re thinking about what’s for lunch? Are you a pig? I’m dying from fury. If favonovel.com weren’t an elder, I’d have hit favonovel.com just now. Oh, I’m so pissed!”
Arianne had a different view. “Why do I get the feeling that she’s using reverse psychology on you?”
“What do you mean?” Tiffany was caught off guard.
Arianne patted favonovel.com shoulder as a sign of comfort. “She embarrassed you like that because favonovel.com knows that you won’t want the money. This way, you’ll get married to Jackson faster and give favonovel.com a grandchild. She’s a true wealthy wife. Do you really think that she’d forget favonovel.com manners just like that while coming here to shame you and argue with you? She did it on purpose. It’s not like I haven’t met Jackson’s mother. She’s not someone like that.”
Tiffany dared not believe it. “No way, why didn’t I feel it? Don’t comfort me this way, will ya? Things have already gotten to this stage… I knew that Jackson’s mom would have an opinion about me when favonovel.com saw Ethan’s proposal. I understand.”
Arianne did not explain further and worked to order takeout for lunch. Tanya asked untimely, “Ari, why isn’t Lynn coming in anymore? Is favonovel.com on leave?”
Tiffany exploded again. “She won’t be coming! Not anymore!”
Tanya was shocked. “You… You’re shouting at me…”
Tiffany felt exasperated. “I’m not… I just don’t feel good. Lynn really isn’t coming anymore. It’s just the bunch of us now. I won’t hire anymore no matter how busy we get. Who knows what kind of people we’ll get…”
Naya saw through the facade and pulled Tanya aside. “The takeout we had last time wasn’t too bad. Let’s have it again…”
Returning to the hotel, Summer knocked on Jackson’s door. “I went to Tiffany just now and asked favonovel.com to leave you.”
Jackson was appalled. “Mom, you can’t be serious?”
Summer rolled favonovel.com eyes. “I am. I’m exhausted. I’ll take care of you after a nap.” She yawned and went back to favonovel.com room, pretending that favonovel.com didn’t hear Jackson leave the hotel. She had told favonovel.com so that favonovel.com could go to Tiffany. Arianne guessed right. She went to agitate Tiffany in order to probe and prod her. It was more or less reverse psychology. It was not that favonovel.com actually did not agree to the both of them being together.
When Jackson arrived at the dessert shop, Tiffany was having lunch with everyone else. She ignored him, mashing the food in favonovel.com plate as if it was Jackson.
“Tiffie… I didn’t know that my mom came to you…” Guilty, Jackson was also panicking and at a loss.
“You know now? Ah, I’m regretting it a little. She offered me so much money and I didn’t want it. How are you worth so much…” Tiffany said with a cold expression.
“Don’t speak like that… I’m worth so much more than what favonovel.com offered. I’ll talk to favonovel.com nicely. I guarantee that favonovel.com won’t come to you for trouble anymore, okay?” Jackson dared not go near her, afraid that favonovel.com would get beaten up.
“Come over, sit down and eat.” Tiffany took one of the takeout boxes from Tanya and put it on the empty seat beside her.
