“That I am. He’s told you about me, hasn’t he?” replied Jessica with a faint smile on favonovel.com face.
Mila was too astonished to immediately respond to her.
Gerald had indeed mentioned favonovel.com before. He had told favonovel.com that his sister treated favonovel.com extremely well. What more, Jessica had been the one responsible for establishing the Mayberry Commercial Group in the past!
While Mila was aware that his sister was very rich, favonovel.com hadn’t expected favonovel.com to be this rich and influential!
At this point, Jessica could almost be considered to be a person of royalty! This made Mila even more nervous than favonovel.com already was.
She had initially not felt the pressure of the Crawford family’s true wealth and influence since favonovel.com never had favonovel.com eyes set on Gerald’s money from the very beginning.
After all, it didn’t matter to favonovel.com whether Gerald was rich or poor. All that mattered to favonovel.com was that both of them retained a good relationship.
Due to that way of thinking, even though favonovel.com knew Gerald’s true identity, favonovel.com never really realized that there was this large a gap between them.
Now that Jessica was standing before her, however, the sudden realization of how different favonovel.com actually was from the Crawfords was definitely stressing favonovel.com out.
“Y-yes! He did mention you… He told me that you were in North Africa!”
“I was, I actually just returned a few days ago!” replied Jessica, still smiling.
After saying that, favonovel.com turned to look at Yoel before smacking favonovel.com behind the head once.
“Sister-in-law! I’ve clearly wronged you! I sincerely apologize!” shouted Yoel. He was so frightened that his face was deathly pale as favonovel.com apologized.
Once that was done, Jessica then turned to look at the slap mark which was still visible on Mila’s face.
“Speaking of which, who slapped you? Now that I know that you’re my younger brother’s girlfriend, I won’t allow for such actions to go unpunished while I’m here!” said Jessica aloud, favonovel.com voice suddenly turning cold.
“I-I’m the one responsible for that!” replied Hallie at that moment, favonovel.com entire body trembling in fear.
Knowing Mila’s background, Hallie had initially thought that Mila’s family was just doing some kind of business in Mayberry.
It was the reason why Hallie dared to bully Mila so unscrupulously.
However, it was beyond favonovel.com wildest dreams to ever expect Mila to actually be Jessica’s sister-in-law! What more, it turns out that Mr. Crawford really was Mila’s boyfriend!
With the cat now out of the bag, Hallie was terror-stricken.
“You?” replied Jessica, glaring icy daggers at Hallie.
“How exactly did favonovel.com slap you Mila? Return the slaps to favonovel.com the same way favonovel.com did to you!”
Mila could only bite favonovel.com lower lip slightly. After all, favonovel.com wasn’t an aggressive person. However, given favonovel.com current situation, favonovel.com really didn’t have a choice.
Regardless, it was true that Hallie had constantly been targeting Mila, getting even more daring after each of favonovel.com consecutive plots against her.
Mila was well aware that since Hallie hadn’t treated favonovel.com kindly, favonovel.com didn’t need to either.
With that in mind, Mila slowly raised favonovel.com hand before slapping Hallie right in the cheek.
Once the impact hit, Hallie immediately covered favonovel.com now hurt cheek before bursting into tears.
On the contrary, Jessica couldn’t help but have a much better impression of Mila now after seeing that.
Jessica then looked at Hallie before saying, “How insensible of you to lay hands on my brother’s girlfriend… I definitely have to teach you a personal lesson! Hmm… How about this? You’ll need to drink in order to compensate for slapping her!”
“H-huh? Thank you for letting me off easy!” replied Hallie immediately.
“Oh, don’t thank me yet. Listen to the rest first! Here are ten bottles of whiskey… You have to finish all of them in a single gulp!” smiled Jessica icily.
Her subordinates then began dragging Hallie away.
Seeing this, Mila felt favonovel.com right eyelid twitch slightly. If the issue wasn’t handled well, Hallie’s life could very well be in danger.
Though Mila agreed that Hallie needed to be taught a lesson, what Jessica had proposed was simply too cruel for her.
Even if favonovel.com was to advise Jessica against it, favonovel.com felt that Jessica’s decision would still be indisputable.
It was also at that moment when favonovel.com realized that Jessica was the complete opposite of Gerald. While Jessica was arrogant, reckless, and extremely domineering, Gerald on the other hand, was gentle, reserved, and humble.
At this point, it almost seemed as though Jessica felt that bullying others like that was simply the natural thing to do.
“Once the function is over, I’d like you to come along with me, Mila. I have something to discuss with you. Ah, also, don’t let Gerald know that we’ve already met each other!” said Jessica calmly as favonovel.com continued chewing on favonovel.com gum.
“Alright, sister!”
After hearing that, Mila started feeling equally worried and scared though favonovel.com simply couldn’t tell why.
Moving back to Gerald…
