“You take responsibility? Can you even do that?” Heather scolded. The more Alex talked back at her, the angrier she got.
“What are you so afraid of? Do you think I’m you? What’s the big deal about the Jones family to have struck so much fear into you?”
By now, Alex was infuriated as Heather just wouldn’t stop.
“You!” Furious, Heather glared at Alex.
This was the first time Alex had shown her his temper and it caused her to panic.
More importantly, Alex was downplaying the Jones family who was one of the prominent families in Nebula City. One that they couldn’t afford to offend.
“Why do you insist on pretending? What gave you the gall?” Stunned for a moment, Heather finally sneered.
“Daddy, Mommy, stop arguing, alright?” Stanley looked at both of them helplessly.
When Alex saw Stanley in tears, he held back what he wanted to say next.
Turning to look at Heather, he remarked coldly, “You’re so unreasonable.”
Just as he spoke, he entered the room and slammed the door behind him.
Meanwhile, Heather gritted her teeth as she felt that the family would be destroyed by Alex sooner or later.
“Mommy, let’s watch TV,” Stanley tugged at Heather’s hand and suggested.
“Watch it yourself,” Heather replied, showing her displeasure as she brooded on the sofa.
Feeling aggrieved, Stanley watch the TV glumly.
A few minutes had gone by before Carmen returned home. The moment she entered and saw Heather fuming, she couldn’t help but ask, “Heather, is what you say true? Did that piece of trash cheat the Jones family?”
“Go ask him yourself,” Heather answered with an upset tone.
Frowning, Carmen went to knock on Alex’s door.
“Give me the bracelet.” Heather still didn’t trust Carmen with it. If she accidentally damaged it, that would be the end of them.
“Why should I give it to you? I am your mother. Are you afraid that I’ll sell it?” When she saw the bracelet on her wrist, she quickly hid her hands behind her back and refused to hand it over.
The crux of the matter was that her dance partners already knew that she had a bracelet worth five million. If she didn’t wear it tomorrow, what would she tell them when they ask about it?

“What if you damaged it and the Jones family wants it back. How are you going to compensate them?” Heather yelled. Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.
Alex had just disagreed with her and now her mom wouldn’t listen to her. Heather simply felt frustrated with all that was going on.
“Get that piece of trash to compensate them then. It was he who cheated them.”
Just as she spoke, she pushed open Alex’s room door without hesitation. Meanwhile, Alex was just about to take a bath when Carmen barged in angrily.
“You piece of trash! Of all the people to scam, you chose to cheat the Jones family. Are you trying to destroy us? Get out of this house now! The Jennings family does not welcome a piece of trash like you.”
Carmen had it all planned out. As long as she kicked Alex out of the house, she would wash her hands clean of the matter when the Jones family returned.
Furthermore, she would be able to officially keep the expensive bracelet.
Furrowing his eyebrows, Alex was about to show his displeasure when they heard a knock on the door.
The three of them were stunned as they wondered who was at the door at this ungodly hour.
“Can it be the Jones family?” Heather muttered.
Hearing that, Carmen’s face turned pale as she fled into her own room.
As Alex shook his head, Heather had no choice but to get the door.
Standing at the door, Autumn smiled at Heather.
“Who are you?” Heather asked.
“Hello, you must be Mr. Jefferson’s wife. I am Autumn Jones,” Autumn introduced herself politely.
“Are you a member of the Jones family?” Heather’s expression changed drastically as she didn’t expect them to return so quickly. In fact, she began to feel frightened about it.
