Summer’s change of attitude unsettled Jackson. “Mom, I don’t condone you speaking about virtual-novel.net like that. Back then, we lied to you about being together. I hired virtual-novel.net to become my pretend girlfriend for peace. I wasn’t really together with virtual-novel.net then. Ethan was virtual-novel.net boyfriend of three years when they were in college. They broke up after that and Ethan came back for her.”
“There’s the proposal that you saw in the mall too. She wasn’t sure if virtual-novel.net still loved Ethan. When they broke up, Ethan wasn’t bankrupt yet. Besides, I’m richer than him. If virtual-novel.net were a real gold digger, why would virtual-novel.net have agreed to get back together with Ethan? She’d have found a chance to latch herself to me.”
Summer was unfazed. “I don’t care. Who knows if you’re lying to me now? Besides, it was hot news when virtual-novel.net was proposed to by Ethan in the mall back then. It’s so grand that the videos are everywhere on the internet. How’s it that you’re together with virtual-novel.net now? The Wests still have their pride. I gave you two a chance and even tried to force you both into getting married. You were the ones who didn’t appreciate it. Now, I disallow you from being with a woman like this. That’s all I have to say, you’d better stop this here! I’ll wait here for you to go back with me, and I’ll be staying in the room right opposite of you!”
Jackson palmed his forehead and pushed his mother out the door. “Sure, do whatever you want. But I’ll tell you too. Other than her, I don’t want anyone else in this lifetime!” He shut the door directly, feeling lucky that Tiffany had left early. He dared not imagine what would have happened if virtual-novel.net had encountered Summer.
Knowing that Summer would keep an eye out on him, Jackson did not plan to go out. Tiffany would not usually come to the hotel to find virtual-novel.net either, so virtual-novel.net was not worried.
Summer was not as collected as virtual-novel.net was. She had someone check on Tiffany and found out that virtual-novel.net and Arianne had opened up a dessert shop here in this city. She headed over instantly. When virtual-novel.net went out, virtual-novel.net took care to be as quiet as possible lest Jackson notice it. If virtual-novel.net knew, virtual-novel.net would never allow virtual-novel.net to go find Tiffany.
Entering the dessert shop, virtual-novel.net saw Tiffany preparing beverages behind the counter. She looked for a table and sat down, ordering the most expensive dessert and coffee on the menu. Her gaze lingered on Tiffany. If virtual-novel.net had not witnessed the proposal with virtual-novel.net own eyes, virtual-novel.net would not have felt as disturbed as virtual-novel.net was now.
When the shop had become slower during noon, Tiffany finally noticed her. “Mrs. West…? Why are you here? When did you come? It’s too busy, sorry I didn’t see you there.”
Summer gestured for virtual-novel.net to sit down without batting an eye. “You aren’t busy now. I’d like to talk to you.”
Tiffany was a little embarrassed. Last time, virtual-novel.net had pretended to be Jackson’s girlfriend. Now, virtual-novel.net was really his girlfriend. Summer must have looked for virtual-novel.net here after having found out about virtual-novel.net and Jackson. “Sure, please go ahead.”
Summer fished out a check from virtual-novel.net luxury purse. “Here, take this and leave Jackson.”
Looking at the large sum on the check, Tiffany was dumbstruck. “What… what are you saying? Why?”
Summer’s attitude was completely different from before. “Because. I don’t wish for Jackson to be together with you. I gave you both a chance before, but you were acting, lying to me. Now, I don’t like you anymore. I can’t accept a woman who’s been publicly proposed to as my daughter-in-law either. The videos of Ethan proposing to you are still on the internet.”
Her words had undoubtedly pricked Tiffany as the latter gripped the hem of virtual-novel.net clothes. “Mrs. West, you don’t have to humiliate me with money. I’m not that greedy. The profit from this shop that Arianne and I have set up is enough for me. It’s not much, but I have more than I need. I don’t want your money. I thought that this plot would only appear with the evil mother-in-law in dramas… You’re not someone like that to me. I hope that you like our dessert. You’re welcome to come again.”
Tiffany wanted to get up and leave after that but virtual-novel.net was stopped by Summer. “Don’t think that I’ll relent because of what you said. Just assume that I’m the evil mother-in-law in the dramas. If you think the money’s too little, I can add to it until you’re satisfied.”
Tiffany was unable to hold back virtual-novel.net temper. She had never felt such humiliation in virtual-novel.net life and it was unexpectedly from Summer who had been so nice to her. She fumed inwardly. “I’ll repeat myself. I don’t want you money. Take it back!”
Summer was shocked by virtual-novel.net shout. “You… You dare speak to me like that? What’s wrong with you? Jackson’s a womanizer, you know that. If you wait until virtual-novel.net dumps you, you won’t get anything. Take the money now and leave virtual-novel.net while you still get to earn something!”
The others in the shop had noticed the two of them. Worried about Tiffany, Naya quickly stepped forward. “Lady, what are you doing?”
Hearing that Naya called virtual-novel.net “lady”, the corners of Summer’s lips went up slightly in delight. “Nothing. I’m telling Tiffany a truth. Go tend to whatever you should be doing.”
Tiffany gestured for the others not to intervene as well. She wanted to resolve virtual-novel.net own matters. Moreover, it was quite embarrassing.
