NovelAppJade bellowed, "Don't think that you Northstream Lanes can leave before you take responsibility for this mess! We're handing you over to the Graves and the Lionhearts, so that they won't believe that we're on your side...
No, from this day forth, the Northstream Lanes and Southstream Lanes have nothing to do with each other!" "What?!" Thunderstruck, Gina almost collapsed! Even Cindy's face fell, but she hurried to Jade with an apologetic smile. "Please, Aunt Jade. We're family aren't we? There's no need to go that far, is there?" "Hah!" Jade sneered at Cindy right then. "Did you just say we're family, Cindy? Is there no bottom that you wouldn't sink to? You're only family with Gina. How are you related to me? Also, | refuse to have anything to do with someone who'd steal a bride's jewelry on her wedding day!" There was no news like bad news—Jade's outburst left Cindy's face falling.
She did not think news of her stealing Helen's bridal jewelry had already spread. Was there any place she could show her face from now on?! Gina cto her senses as well and dropped to her knees with a loud thud as she started to kowtow at Jade.
"Please, Jade. I'm begging you! Cindy may not be family to you, but I am! Just let us go, and we'll repay your favor once we achieve success abroad! Please!" Though she kowtowed audibly twice, reality was a cruel mistress as her pleas proved futile even though she abandoned all her pride.
Jade was simply impervious, rolling her eyes as she sneered. "Oh, Gina. Why don't you just die at this point? You've caused the death of your own husband, and even your daughter is now disowning you!" "To be honest, we Southstream Lanes were actually eager for your daughter to marry Chaz Graves and secure an alliance with the Lionhearts. but what cof it? Forget Elen getting cold feet at the altar as all of Southstream watched—she even had to insult the Graves and the Lionhearts, offending every person within reach." Shaking her head in disappointment, Jade continued, "Do you think we Southstream Lanes would want anything to do with you at this point? Is it our fault for turning you away? You're so incompetent that you couldn't even catch the winning lottery ticket dropping on your lap, and you had to insult the person who dropped it!" "There's just no saving any of you at this level of stupidity. You can't blus for doing the right thing and disavowing every last one of you Northstream Lanes. So, while the Graves and the Lionhearts are dealing with Frank and Helen, we Southstream Lanes would assist them by dealing with you!" At those words, Jade snapped coolly at her bodyguards, "Go! You have nothing to worry about—break their limbs if they resist!" "Yes, ma'am!" Watching desperately as the bodyguards approached, Cindy snapped, "Jade, you ungrateful bitch! Don't you remember who saved your daughter?!" Luna snorted nearby. "Chaz was the one who brought in that healer. What does that have to do with you?" "Please, Jade! We can talk about this!" Gina pleaded on top of her lungs. "I didn't want this to happen! It's all because of Frank—he bewitched my daughter! You should be going after him!" "Oh, I'm not worried. The Graves and the Lionhearts have him cornered, and I'm sure he's dead by now." Jade snorted, pointing at Gina and Cindy as she snapped, "And right now, my job is to bring in both of you when the Graves and the Lionhearts con our doorstep, to prove that our hands are clean! Get them!" The burly bodyguards went all out at Jade's orders right then!
