Chapter 399: 398 Great Play (4) Junior President Payne angrily rebukes, rules are going to reach the sky

The saliva of the audience has almost drowned Beckett Jeans.

"This Miss Jones really loves Young Master Jeans!"

"Wearing fake jewelry everywhere, thinking it’s a token of love from her fiancé, only to be treated like a fool by others."

"Beckett Jeans is such a scumbag, hooking up with his future sister-in-law is bad enough, and despite the Jeans Family being rich, why trick people with fake goods?"

...

As the crowd discussed, someone suddenly remarked, "The earring on Second Miss Jones looks similar to Miss Jones’s, they look alike!"

In an instant,

The earring on Marigold Jones’s ear became the focus of the entire venue!

"It looks real," muttered a wealthy lady just now.

"Could it be that Beckett Jeans, to please his sister-in-law, gave her the real ones and bought fake ones to deceive Miss Jones?"

"The Jeans Family is not short on money; they could just buy another pair."

"It’s not about the money; every piece of jewelry from Payne Corps comes with a gem certificate. For a pair of earrings, there’s only one certificate, and they are limited. He could only buy one to avoid suspicion, so he had to go with a fake."

Cressida Jones looked at her sister with shock, disbelief, disappointment, and pain in her eyes, all witnessed by everyone.

Tim Payne took a sip of tea:

So, she knew that Beckett Jeans gave her fake goods, but she still wore them every day.

Anyone who knows a bit about jewelry would notice she was wearing fakes, but people usually wouldn’t point it out directly; they’d just gossip and laugh at her in private.

And now, this mockery will turn into Sharp Knife...

Stabbing into the scumbag’s body!

After tonight,

Her fiancé and sister’s reputations will be completely ruined.

And she,

In everyone’s eyes, looks innocent, wronged, and pitiful, just like a pure white flower.

"Marigold, is what you’re wearing on your ears real?" Cressida purposely asked.

"Sister, I bought these myself..."

Wyatt Hale suddenly interjected: "Jewelry from Payne Corps, both purchaser and purchase record are easy to trace. Junior President Payne is right here, Second Miss Jones better not lie."

"Watch out, or you’ll be humiliated!"

Marigold Jones was furious, not clearly seeing who spoke, and looked ready to tear his mouth apart.

She shouted angrily: "Shut up, it’s none of your business!"

Zoe Payne slammed the table, "Second Miss Jones has such a temper, shamelessly doing such disgraceful things. My brother was just kindly reminding you not to lie, what, you want to come over and hit someone?"

"That time at my wedding hotel, you fooled around. That time our family was celebrating, and we didn’t want to pursue it, do you really think I’m a pushover!"

"The rules of the Jones Family are outrageous!"

"Unruly girl, shut your mouth!" Silas Jones rushed over and slapped her hard, "That’s Mr. Hale, you’ve no right to be presumptuous!"

Marigold Jones was also stunned by the sudden turn of events.

She instinctively retorted.

Without clearly seeing who had spoken.

Wyatt Hale scoffed, "You’re louder than a donkey, you really scared me."

Comparing her to a donkey in such a solemn situation?

The crowd couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

"You..." Marigold Jones gritted her teeth.

"What about me, exposing videos, pajamas, and stealing someone’s earrings, pretending to be a cute frog when you’re just an ugly toad, playing dirty!"

Marigold Jones glared at him angrily.

"Hooking up with your sister’s fiancé, you really like the thrill, huh? You did something wrong and yet you dare to glare at me, simply outrageous!"

"Don’t like what you see? Then try blinding yourself."

Zoe Payne coughed twice, signaling him to tone it down.

Although Wyatt Hale said nothing further, he sent the video he had just recorded to Michale Shaw:

"Bro, help me promote this."

Michale Shaw frowned: "Wyatt, spreading obscene videos is illegal! Are you crazy, sending me such an eyesore video!"

"Is this considered obscene? It’s just a bit explicit."

"Speak up, what happened?"

"It’s just..."

Michale Shaw is quite the gossipmonger in many circles; he treats Wyatt Hale like his own brother and was only regretful he wasn’t present to witness such intriguing gossip firsthand.

Spreading the word far and wide? That’s no problem for him!

——

At this moment, Cressida Jones’s eyes were red. Silas Jones had been hinting to his daughter to know when to stop.

Marigold Jones’s mother, Lavinia Wilde, also came over, "Cressida, Marigold was wrong in this matter. Can we discuss this privately instead of making a scene here with so many people around?"

"Aunt Wilde..." Cressida suddenly grabbed her hand, "I know it’s because I’m not your biological daughter that you don’t like me."

Lavinia Wilde was stunned!

What is this nonsense now?

"But I’ve really been trying to please you. Anything that Marigold likes, I’ve given it to her!"

"Even the sapphire bracelet that a guest gave me today as an engagement gift, Marigold wanted it, and I didn’t want to give it away, but I still let her have it, because she is my sister."

"I’ve compromised to this extent, why does she still have to steal my fiancé?"

"Please, please have mercy on me!"

"If she truly loves Beckett, any earrings, bracelets, including Beckett himself, I’m willing to give them all to her. I’ll bless them."

Lavinia Wilde felt like the world was spinning.

This despicable girl,

She was actually waiting here to confront her.

Acting all submissive usually, and now she’s pulled a vicious move.

"Cressida, what are you saying!" Mrs. Jeans’s face, already grim, darkened even more as she overheard this.

She stormed right up to Marigold Jones.

Marigold, who had just been slapped by her, instinctively covered her face, fearing another slap, but Mrs. Jeans instead grabbed her earrings...

Violently,

Yanked the earrings right off her ears!

Accompanied by her agonizing scream, blood dripped from her earlobes.

Everyone inhaled sharply.

Such brutality, Mrs. Jeans had really gone too far.

Indeed, Marigold deserved it, taking things that weren’t hers as if they were.

"Mom!" Beckett was stunned.

"She doesn’t deserve it."

Mrs. Jeans scoffed, "Not your things, but you dare wear them. What do you think you are, trying to marry my son! Stealing from Cressida, a fool who can’t make a public appearance."

"I didn’t steal, my sister gave them to me!" Marigold looked at Cressida, "Sis, tell them, didn’t you give them to me!"

She was referring to the sapphire bracelet on her wrist.

"It was either given or taken. There were others in the dressing room, just ask them."

"Cressida!" Silas Jones pressured his elder daughter.

His eyes conveyed a message:

Are you really going to ruin your sister completely before you’re satisfied?

Tonight’s event has been embarrassing enough.

"Let’s forget other gifts, but this bracelet is too valuable... Maybe we should ask the owner; as long as the person who gave the gift agrees, I can give it to her." Cressida spoke and looked towards Zoe Payne.

Everyone’s gaze returned to the main table.

Zoe Payne was sitting very close to Tim Payne, so it was unclear to whom Cressida was really speaking.

Cressida thought that Zoe had given the bracelet.

Also, since she had spoken up justly before, coupled with a few encounters, Cressida judged that Mrs. Hale would speak in her favor, thus dragging her into this event.

The bracelet issue was unexpected for her.

But implicating Zoe Payne would escalate the situation drastically.

The more out of control the situation, the easier for her to break away from that scoundrel!

However, what she didn’t expect was that Zoe hadn’t spoken up, and the elegantly dignified Junior President Payne cryptically remarked, "Second Miss Jones... you really don’t deserve to wear this bracelet."

"A gift from me, and you dare claim it as yours, my sister spoke correctly..."

"The rules in your Jones family are outrageous!"
