Chapter 269 Lack Of Upbringing

Jasmine could barely keep herself calm. “I’ve never met a mother as wicked as you.”

“You would have done the same if you were in my place,” Emma said. “I would not be nitpicking if you

came from a better family. However, take a good look at the difference between your own background

and the Xavier family. The Xavier family will become the laughingstock of Norwal City if I allow you to

marry into our family!”

“I applaud you for being callous enough to manipulate your own son’s future.” Jasmine suppressed the

anger she felt in her heart. She could not afford to be seen fighting with Emma in front of so many

prominent figures.

“I would not have done so if you had been more obedient.” Emma snorted. “You promised to have no

contact with my son after accepting the money, yet you immediately turned around and wrote him a

letter, informing him of our deal and telling him that you would wait for him no matter how long it takes. I

wasn’t about to sit idly and let the matter slide. Are you telling me I should have waited for him to be

discharged in three years and marry you? Well, I certainly did not expect Theodore to give up on his

promotion and run overseas because of you.”

Jasmine quirked her lips. “You probably don’t know this, but we’re already married.”

“What do you mean?”

Jasmine lifted her right hand and showed off her ring finger. “I forgot. You don’t know about it because

you weren’t invited. I was going to marry Curtis in order to obtain Sanders Group’s shares. However, he

ran away on the day of the wedding, so I married Theodore instead. Your son was the one who put the

ring on my finger.”

“You’re lying!” Emma raged. “Do you think you can deceive me by wearing a ring?”

“I’m not lying. If you don’t believe me, you can check with the Faymon and the Sanders family.” Before

she departed, Jasmine leaned in close to Emma’s ear and whispered, “Also, I prepared a surprise for

you. I hope you’ll look forward to it.”

Emma felt as if she was going to have a heart attack as she watched Jasmine saunter away.

Despicable illegitimate wench! Why must she continue clinging to my son? How dare she speak to me in

that manner? Her lack of upbringing shows even after she’s gotten her hands on Sanders Group.

The waiter, who was passing by, spotted Emma’s empty glass and inquired, “Madam, would you like

another glass?”

“No!” Emma refused coldly.

Just as the baffled waiter turned around to leave, she called out to him. “Wait!”

She placed her empty glass on the tray and grabbed a fresh glass of champagne.

The waiter was rendered speechless. She’s crazy!

Meanwhile, inside the private room, Rayna had just received a WhatsApp message from Carl informing

her that he was here.

Thinking that the boy must be bored all by himself, Rayna wanted to keep him company. Daily new

and it had taken her some time to escape. He acts as if I’m trying to hook up with other men!

Rayna exited the room and glanced around before spotting a boy sitting in a corner. He was clad in a

black suit and looked very handsome. She immediately knew who he was when she spotted the face

mask.

She went over, laughing as she asked, “Where do you hail from, little prince?”

“Ms. Rayna!” Carl shouted happily as he sprang up from the couch. “Don’t tell Mommy I snuck out. She’s

going to give me an earful for this.”

“You little rascal, how could you sneak out behind your mommy’s back so frequently?” Rayna pinched his

nose. “Are you hungry?”

Indeed, now that she mentioned it, Carl realized that he was slightly hungry.

Since the banquet hall was crowded and Rayna was afraid that Carl would be spotted, she snuck him

out to the gorgeous sky garden with a fountain.

As soon as the waiter left after taking their orders, Carl turned on his charm and flattered Rayna. “You

look so pretty today! I’d totally marry you if I could.”

Rayna laughed in response. “No can do. Our ages are too far apart.”

“You’re too pretty. It makes me want to keep you all for myself,” Carl uttered seriously. “I’ll grow up fast.

No one will find out if we don’t tell them my age.”

“Aw, you’re so sweet.” Rayna could not resist pinching his face, sighing as she thought of Theodore’s icy

demeanor. “Fortunately, you’re not like your daddy. He’s such a cold man.”

Curtis refuted, “No, he’s not! Mommy says Daddy is the kindest and most handsome man in the world!”

Rayna smiled faintly. Of course she would think that.

Not long after they finished their meal, Carl broke the silence. “Ms. Rayna, can you help me contact

Daddy’s friend?”

“What’s the matter?”

“I want Daddy to come home as soon as possible.” Cupping his face with his hands, Carl wore a longing

expression. “He sends presents home often, so I’m okay with not seeing him. But it’s really hard on

Mommy. She must be exhausted from taking care of me and from work. I hope Daddy will come home to

be with Mommy and share her burden. I know she misses him very much.”

Rayna did not know what to say. In the end, she settled for patting his head. “Why, aren’t you a good

boy?”

Carl shrugged. “Mommy is already having such a hard time. I don’t want to add to her troubles. I hope I

can grow up and work in Daddy’s stead as soon as possible so he can spend time with Mommy.”

“You should take your time growing up,” Rayna teased. “I don’t even know when I’ll get married. Don’t

you want to marry my kid?”

“You’re right. Mommy is obviously important, but marrying is important too. You need to marry as soon as

possible!”

Rayna joked, “What if I marry the man who looks a lot like you?”

“You can’t!” Carl furrowed his brows. “What if your baby resembles me? People will misunderstand!”

“Are you afraid that people will misunderstand, or are you worried that I’d marry that man?”

After giving the matter some thought, Carl said slowly, “I think you and Mr. Faymon suit each other better.

The other man isn’t a good fit.”

“What do you mean by that? Am I not pretty enough?”

“I think you don’t meet his standards.”

“Wow, that’s harsh.” Rayna leaned forward and pinched his face while pretending to be angry. “I’ll stop

bringing you presents from your daddy.”

“Stop pinching me! What if you disfigure me and your child no longer finds me attractive in the future?”

“In that case, I’ll look for someone more handsome.”

“No, you can’t!”

The two of them bickered playfully, oblivious to the person who had just walked in.

It wasn’t until a shadow fell on them that Rayna looked up to see Emma standing by their table.

“Mrs. Xavier,” Rayna greeted the latter as she got to her feet. She took advantage of Emma’s attention of

herself and discreetly signaled to Carl to put on his mask. “What can I do for you?”

By the time Emma turned to look at Carl, the face mask was already in place.

Glancing at the boy, Emma chided Rayna, “Ms. Garland, you should watch your behavior. If you act so

intimately with someone else’s child, they could be mistaken for your own and tarnish your reputation.”

“To be honest, it doesn’t matter to me. My name has been dragged through the mud countless times

anyway,” Rayna replied lazily, completely unconcerned. “Let the media write whatever they want.”

“You!” Emma screeched in exasperation.

She had already been slighted by Jasmine at the banquet hall, and now she had to endure the same

treatment here. Does no one respect me?
