Chapter 238 Why Didn’t She Apologize?

Jessica bit her lips, bowed her head, and wiped her tears.

“Timothy was the one who did something wrong. Why didn’t she apologize?” Danis was dissatisfied

with his grandpa’s marriage to Timothy. Today, seeing his sister being bullied over and over again,

Danis was extremely annoyed.

Lewis shouted Danis’ name with a frown and pulled a long face.

Seeing this, Danis got even angrier. He could feel anger boiling up inside him, which almost drove him

crazy.

“She laughed at Jessica’s leg in front of so many people today. Besides, she even said something

harsh and kicked her wounded leg.

“Grandpa, why do you marry a woman who is ungracious and sultry? Do you know your marriage will

make the Lewis family and our Smith family the laughing stocks in the city? You...”

Crack!

Lewis slapped Danis on the face and roared, “Shut up! No matter what she has said, she is still your

nominal grandmother!”

Timothy took Lewis’s arm and leaned on him triumphantly, “Honey, you are the best. I’m glad you help

me teach him a lesson. Otherwise, I will be bullied on my wedding day!” From NôvelDrama.Org.

“How can you hit me twice for this kind of woman?” Danis clutched his cheeks, staring at his grandpa

incredulously.

Lewis was livid, “What do you mean ‘this kind of woman’? She is your grandmother now!”

Jessica raised her head. She almost cried, and her eyes were reddish, “Danis, stop. Miss Timothy just

said I am a cripple. There’s nothing wrong with that. I wasn’t hurt. Let her do whatever she wants.”

“I’m fed up!!!” Danis roared and strode towards the elevator.

Jessica called him several times, but Danis did not look back.

“Jessica,” Lewis softened his tone when he spoke to Jessica, “Timothy grew up in the countryside. The

people there are not careful about their wordings. Her family education is not as strict as yours. Please

forgive her.”

Jessica bit her lips and smiled bitterly, “Grandpa, don’t worry. I will forgive her. I’m still young and fit, so

it’s okay to be kicked by Miss Timothy.”

“However, you’d better ask Miss Timothy to kick me with less strength next time. Otherwise, my

wheelchair will turn over and press on her, which may result in her miscarriage.”

Hearing this, Timothy questioned her, “Are you cursing my child?”

“Jessica is just talking about the possibility, not you. Take it easy. It’s not good for the child.” Lewis

touched her belly and comforted her.

Timothy rolled her eyes and cursed in a low voice.

“Timothy is pregnant now. Many women are not very good-tempered during pregnancy.” Lewis

comforted Timothy and said to Jessica, “If she does anything wrong during this period, you should

forgive her first.”

Jessica held the wheelchair’s armrest tightly, and her knuckles turned white.

“If you can’t stand it, you can cut on your visits to the Lewis family during this period to avoid conflict

with Timothy.” Lewis thought for a while and suggested.

Timothy raised her chin, with her nostrils facing the sky, “Yep! I don’t like you! You’d better not appear

before my eyes.”

Lewis’ family members and Adeline pulled a long face. However, the Lewis family’s tutoring was strict,

especially their attitude towards the elders. Therefore, even though they were very dissatisfied, they

didn’t say anything.

“I think you must be tired, so let’s go back and rest early.” Jessica smiled and said softly.

Staying here would only let others see their jokes.

Lewis nodded in agreement and carefully helped Timothy leave while the others followed them.

Jessica didn’t go back with them right away but turned her wheelchair into the Honor Hall and went to

the manager’s side, “I’m sorry to trouble you today.”

“That’s what I should do.” the manager said.

Jessica smiled, “After work, you can treat everyone for a good meal. Just charge it to my account.”

“This is what I should do. It’s very kind of you to say so!” the manager hurriedly declined, “It would not

be good if my boss knows this.”

Jessica smiled and said, “There is nothing wrong with it. Today is a big day, so it is normal for me to

invite everyone to dinner. Don’t worry. I will call Mr. Luis and tell him about this later.”

“Then I should thank you on behalf of my colleagues.” the manager smiled.

Jessica said, “Everyone is busy today, so I should treat them for dinner. It’s just a pity that I have to go

back and handle something else, and I don’t have time to eat with you.”

The two chatted for a while before Jessica mentioned something casually, “I saw someone taking

pictures...”

“Some newcomers don’t understand the rules,” the manager said, “I’ll ask them to delete the pictures.”

Jessica smiled, “They are still young, and it’s normal for them to take pictures. It’s just that the Lewis

family and the Smith family have recently offended someone. That person has hired some journalists to

fabricate rumors on the Internet. Even if there is nothing wrong with those pictures, those journalists

can still use them to say something outrageous.”

“I see. It’s easy to spread rumors, but it takes a lot of efforts to dispel them. Please rest assured, and

we will never spread any rumors,” the manager said.

Jessica’s smile broadened, “I heard from Mr. Luis that you are reliable, so I’ll naturally rest assured.”

She said goodbye to the manager before getting out of the Honor Hall with her wheelchair. Edward and

Adeline were still waiting for her, but the others had already left.

Seeing this, Jessica twitched the corner of her mouth slightly, and a hint of sarcasm flashed under her

eyes.

She helped them deal with the aftermath, but none of them waited for her!

“Timothy is worthless, except for her good looks. I don’t know why your grandfather loves her so

much!” Adeline said angrily, “You see, because of this woman, there are a lot of rumors about us online

now!”

Jessica turned her head, glanced at the Honor Hall, and said tiredly, “Mom, didn’t I tell you that

someone may be listening on the other side of the wall? Let’s talk about it at home.”

“They are just waiters. They don’t dare to spread rumors.” Adeline didn’t take it seriously, “I don’t think

she marries your grandfather with good intentions! Maybe the unborn child is a bastard!”

Jessica frowned slightly, “Mom...”

“Okay, I see. I will stop!” Adeline said anxiously, “Jessica, you are a smart girl. Think about how to

persuade your grandfather! We must not let her stay in the Lewis family. Otherwise, I don’t know what

kind of trouble she will cause in the future!”

Jessica said a few words to Adeline with exhaustion and irritation.

“By the way, Jessica.” Edward, who had been silent for a long time, said suddenly, “Mr. Lawson Harvey

called me an hour ago and said he would cancel your engagement with James.”
