Chapter 135 We’Re All Family

“Miss Wilson, this dress has a 20% discount. You only need to pay us sixty-four thousand!” The clerk answered truthfully.

Jasmine nodded. “I hate people like you the most. Change it to 66,000! That 2,000 is your tip!”

“Thank you, Miss Wilson! Thank you so much!” The clerk was so excited that she didn’t know what to say.

Jasmine quickly entered the password and paid the full amount. Another sales clerk handed the wrapped clothes to Sarah who was at the side.

Mila who was at the side was once again extremely angry. She stared at the sales lady and said, “I paid you the full amount and you are actually willing to sell it to her even if it is less than the original price?”

It was really angering her to death. Mila was so angry that her entire body trembled.

The clerk immediately said slowly, “If you spend more than one million yuan per year in our store, we will also give you priority!”

The corner of Mila’s mouth twitched and she did not say anything for a long time. She could only stare at Jasmine angrily.

Jasmine looked at Sarah who was beside her and sized her up from top to bottom, “Let’s go. I will buy you another pair of shoes.”

After saying that, she elegantly turned around and walked to the door.

“Miss Wilson, please take care.” The clerk immediately respectfully sent her off.

Jasmine walked to the door and turned around to look at the two clerk ladies. She smiled and said, “I am very satisfied today, but the taste in your store today is not very good. The smell is too bad. Spit some perfume on it. Don’t ruin your reputation! Sarah, let’s go!”

With that said, she lifted her chin and walked out, completely treating the mother and daughter as air.

Mila looked at the two of them leaving and panted heavily. Having grown up, this was the first time in her life that she had been humiliated like this!

“Mila, don’t be angry! It’s not worth being angry with someone like that! It’s not like they’re the only family in this shop. Let’s go!” Mrs. Abbett’s face was a little embarrassed as she left with her daughter.

Sarah followed Jasmine out of the shop and after a distance, she looked at Jasmine and begged, “Vice President, wait for me at the front. I will return the clothes.” After saying that, she was about to leave.

Jasmine heard what she said and immediately frowned, “Stop right there!”

“Vice President. . .” Sarah immediately stood on the spot and looked at her with a bit of difficulty. Facing her pair of sharp big eyes, she did not have the confidence to higher her head, “Vice President, so much money, I can’t afford it. . .”

Although she was the daughter-in-law of Cooper Family, she did not have much money.

Jasmine heard her words and smiled. She turned around and looked at her. She stretched out her hand to help her tidy up her clothes and then raised her chin. “I, Jasmine Wilson, give you something. No one has ever dared to reject me. You are the first! Just now, you were bullied to the point of not saying a word. Now you’ve got guts!”

Sarah heard her words and did not know how to refute. She looked at her timidly.

“The clothes I gave you are yours. If you return them to me, you will look down on me. Also, in the future, raise your head when you walk, don’t make me lose face. Let’s go and buy shoes.” Jasmine said and walked forward.

Sarah had never dealt with Jasmine before and had only heard of her straightforward and fierce character. But she had never personally experienced it before. Today she had thoroughly experienced it.

She followed her out for a shopping trip. In the end, this Vice President bought her things from head to toe. And she couldn’t refuse it.

She said refusing her meant looking down at her!

The two of them walked around until 4 PM before leaving the Premium House Square. Jasmine looked at the time and knew that the secretary beside her should be very tired today, so she planned to send her home.

“You don’t have to go back to the company today. Tell me your address and I will send you back.”

“Thank you, Vice President. You better put me on the roadside. I’ll go back myself.”

Sarah felt that the clothes she was wearing already owed her a lot. Now that she heard that Jasmine wanted to send her home, she was even more flattered.

“Sarah! Are you looking for a beating? I’m in a good mood today. Don’t spoil my mood!” Jasmine directly glared at her. She was a person who spoke and did things. She had always said and did whatever she wanted. What she hated the most was beating around the bush.

“I know, Vice President. . .” Sarah nodded nervously and told her the address of her neighborhood.

Jasmine looked at her and then stepped on the accelerator car and drove forward quickly.Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

Christian sent his little wife to the company and drove to the hospital because he knew that Daphne would come to deliver lunch to his father at noon every day. In addition, there was a senior nurse in the ward, so he left with a peace of mind today.

When he walked into the ward, he saw Daphne holding a spoon and lapping some nutritional porridge to feed Ethan. He slowly walked to the hospital bed opposite and sat down.

Ethan had recovered quite well these few days. His consciousness was already very clear, but it was still a little difficult for him to speak. He looked at his son beside him and did not say anything.

Although Christian did not communicate much with his father in the past few days, he could understand his father’s movements and eyes during these few days. When Ethan looked at him, he immediately answered slowly, “Dad, Sarah said she will come to see you after work.”

In fact, he knew better than anyone else that his father had a special relationship with Sarah, which was beyond father-in-law and his daughter-in-law. Many times, his father treated Sarah as his daughter.

Ethan nodded slightly. “Okay. . .”

Daphne listened to their conversation and said while feeding, “You don’t need to think about anyone now. Take care of yourself first. It’s better than anything, okay?”

Ethan listened to his wife’s words and blinked his eyes slightly.

Christian sat by the side and took his father’s slightly aged big hand. Starting from the knuckles, he began to massage bit by bit. From the time his father was hospitalized until now, whenever he had time, he would give his father a constant massage. He only hoped that his father’s body would recover a little earlier.

Daphne looked at Christian’s movements and bit her lower lip to continue feeding porridge. Since Ethan was hospitalized until now, in fact, she was very clear in her heart that the person who took care of her husband the most was Christian.

Although she also understood in her heart that he was her husband’s son, she couldn’t accept him no matter what. But during this period of time, every time she came, she would see him do these things. So her attitude towards Christian was much better than before.

After Daphne fed her husband, she used a tissue to wipe her husband’s mouth and put away all the things she brought. Then she looked at Christian opposite her and said, “Christian, I will go back first. If you need anything, remember to call home.”

Christian nodded. “Okay.”

Daphne said a few words to Ethan before she left the ward.

Christian sat beside his father’s hospital bed and was silent for a while. Suddenly, he seemed to remember something and chased out of the room.

Seeing that Daphne had not gone far, he closed the door of the ward first and then quickly chased after her.

“Aunt Daphne!” He called out to Daphne from behind.

Daphne looked back in surprise. When she saw that it was Christian, her eyes widened in surprise and nervousness. “Did something happen to your father?”

“No!” Christian immediately shook his head.

“Oh, you gave me a scare!” Daphne raised her hand to cover her chest, then looked up and asked, somewhat puzzled, “Why did you specially come to find me?”

“I wanted to tell you about Vivian’s miscarriage and Sarah’s matter and wanted to have a chat with you.” There were some things that he had wanted to say a long time ago and today, he finally found an opportunity.

“Yes, tell me.” Daphne did not reject him. Instead, she looked at him and nodded.

“Actually, the day Vivian entered the operating theater, I specifically asked the doctor. She said that she suspected that Vivian had taken the abortion medicine. Actually, I don’t want to investigate whether she had taken the medicine or not. But if she wants to push this matter onto Sarah, I definitely won’t allow it!”

“I know that you don’t really like me these few years. But Sarah had been with Julian for nine years in the past. In these nine years, I think Aunt Daphne can understand some of Sarah’s personality no matter what. She could understand what kind of girl she was. If she was really that kind of scheming person and wanted to find Vivian to settle the score, there is absolutely no need to wait until Vivian is married to Julian. What do you think?”

Not long after Vivian finished the surgery, he went to find the attending physician. Under his detailed questioning, he found out that. . . What the doctor said was only a suspicion. It could not really prove that Vivian took the abortion medicine. It could only mean that it was very likely to be one of the reasons for her miscarriage.

After understanding this point, Christian knew that this matter was a little troublesome. If Vivian insisted that she did not take the abortion medicine, no one could do anything about it. That was why he specially came to find this stepmother to talk to her.

He was worried that when his wife returned to the villa, her stepmother would cause trouble for his wife.

Daphne listened to him for a while before she nodded slightly. During this period of time, she had watched Christian take care of Ethan here every day. In addition, she had already roughly guessed the cause and effect of the matter, so she generously replied,

“You are right. Sarah and Julian had been here for nine years. Sarah had also come to our house during these nine years. I more or less understand her temperament and character. I know that this child is not a scheming person. This matter was a misunderstanding. No one wants this kind of thing to happen, but since it has happened. . . We can’t blame each other anymore. Don’t worry too much. I will talk to Vivian about this matter. I won’t cause Sarah any trouble. Don’t worry.”

“Then thank you Aunt Daphne!” Daphne being so reasonable was really out of Christian’s expectations.

Daphne smiled. “We are all family, so let’s not talk about outsiders. Take good care of your father, I will go back first.”

Anyway, Vivian was going to leave the Cooper Family sooner or later, and now she was happy to do him a favor.

“Aunt Daphne, there is one more thing.”

Daphne stopped and looked at him, “Okay! Go ahead!”

“I have been taking care of my father in the hospital during this period of time and will not be able to return home, so I want Sarah to temporarily return to her mother’s house to stay for a period of time.”

Daphne once again generously nodded her head. “It is also good to go back. She can use this time to accompany Sister Samantha. Okay. It was decided then. You can go back. I’ll be leaving first.”
