Chapter 4 Furious

• Few minutes later, Jemima and Silvia Sterling stepped out of the church hall ,one after the other with marriage certificates in their hands.
• Jemima looked at the marriage certificate in her hand and heaved a sigh when her phone suddenly vibrated.
• A series of messages appeared on her screen. She took out the phone and had a look.She noticed that the messages were from her stepmother,Valerie Brown.
• Valerie Brown wrote, [where on earth are you? Are you trying to humiliate our entire family like this!? Come back home at once! If you make me angry, you are going to regret it!]
• [You think you have the wings to fly like an eagle now? I want you home in fifteen minutes,If not ,don't blame me for being vicious to you!]
• As Jemima read the messages from her stepmother, her eyes hurt. Then, she curls her lips into a miserable smile.
• ‘Isn't this family so vicious and greedy that they are willing to sell her off like a piece of trash? If this is what they want ,then she's going to let them have a taste of their own antidotes.
• Jemima locked her phone and quickly placed the marriage certificate in her bag. Then, she took out a pen and paper and wrote down her number and stuffed it into Silvia Sterling's palms.
• "Dear Aunt, I'd like to make a move first. Here, this is my phone number, you can call me with this number later. I have to go back home and prepare some things."
• "I'll send someone over to get you back to the mansion when you're done with your work" Silvia said with a smile.
• She immediately got into the car without waiting for Silvia Sterling's response.
• The taxi she entered immediately left the scene. Jemima popped her head out of the window and waved at Silvia. "See you soon, Aunt Silvia!"
• Immediately after, Silvia kept the marriage certificate and walked across the road to a limited edition, luxurious Maybach.
• In the car, Silvia Sterling's assistant, Carlos Carter, was stunned. He looked at Silvia Sterling approaching the car in a daze.
• He had not recovered from the shocking scene he saw a moment ago. His boss was smart and hardworking.
• She was the Boss lady of the City and every person's dream mother, yet she allowed her son to get married to a lowly lady! Carlos was baffled. How did that girl do it?
• "Close your gaping mouth." Silvia Sterling swept Carlos a glance and passed the marriage certificate to him.
• "Send this to the Sterling Diamond Manor."
• "Ma'am, even if the elders have been pressuring you to get the young master to have a son, you can't just marry this ugly lady for him!" Carlos could no longer hold back.
• He got Old madam Silvia's urgent message to bring the documents over. He ever would have thought that... "Even if you had to find a random woman to shut the family up, it shouldn't be her. Miss Morris will be returning to the country soon. You could..."
• "She is the most suitable person. Nobody else has dared to get married to my son in the last two years even though we offered everything as betrothal gifts' ' Silvia Sterling raised her eyebrows.
• Her deep-set eyes were rather cold. Even if this young girl did not love her son and was willing to get married to him without hesitation.She might as well keep her close to him while he lived.
• "Look up her background and get back to me."
• "Yes," Carlos replied embarrassedly. He took a look at the marriage certificate and unintentionally saw the photo.
• His eyes suddenly widened! Not really that funky lady just now.
• At the Forrester Mansion.
• "Achoo!" Jemima Forrest sneezed the moment she got out of the car.
• It seemed like the universe was also trying to warn her that she was going to have a troublesome day... She lifted her head and looked at the building which seemed familiar yet strange to her.
• Her expressions darkened. She still had to put on an act. It was time for her to shine!
• Jemima was at the door when she heard a fierce old man's voice coming from inside.
• "Valerie, I have been waiting for an hour! Why is your daughter Jemima not back yet? Is she trying to run away from me?"
• "Of course not! Mister Penty, my daughter truly wants to marry you and only you. Once she is here, we'll do it according to the initial plans and get everything done."
• In the house, Valerie Brown was trying to calm tyrannical Mister Lucas Penty down while cursing Jemima in her heart.
• 'Mister Penty, don't worry. Good things come to those who wait," Shirley,Jemima's stepsister, immediately soothed.
• "Yes, Mister Penty. Jemima is the favorite daughter of the Forrester. Once everything is settled, don't forget to work with us!" Valerie Brown, Jemima’s stepmother, said flatteringly.
• This caused the vulgar Mister Penty to laugh.
• "Hahaha! Don't you worry, as long as she is a daughter of the Forrester, I will naturally make sure you'll earn some money!
• When Jemima heard her stepmother's voice, she was extremely disappointed.
• The night before, she heard the conversation between her stepmother and stepsister.
• They wanted to set her up and marry her to a perverted, lecherous old man. However, Jemima never expected that her family would be involved in this.
• All these years, she thought that her family would still have a little love for her. It looks like she was fooled!
• A teardrop fell from the corner of Jemima's eyes. She wiped it away fiercely. Her eyes were filled with despair, but it had gradually turned to coldness!
• At that moment, she no longer had any hope left for her family! It was time to defend herself!
• Jemima collected her emotions and pushed the door open.
• "I'm back!" Inside, when the two Forrest's saw how terrible Jemima's makeup was, their faces stiffened unnaturally.
• Thankfully, they had already sent Jemima's photo to Mister Penty beforehand.
• Valerie reacted quickly. She pretended to be affectionate and tried to grab Jemima's hand. "Jem, where have you been? We have been waiting for you for such a long time.Why did you leave so suddenly? Come, we have an important guest. Come, sit next to Mister Penty. Let him have a good look at you!"
• The lazy, fat Mister Penty lecherously gazed at Jemima's breasts. When he heard what Valerie said, he cooperated by giving up half of a single seat sofa.
• He smiled slickly at Jemima . "My, Jemima, you have grown so big! Come let me have a good touch... good look!" Jemima secretly sneered as she avoided Valerie's dirty hands without any expression on her face.
• "No thank you, I'm tired. I'll head up to rest." Jemima was about to head upstairs.
• Valerie gave her own daughter, Shirley, a look. Shirley immediately took a cup of tea and stopped Jemima in her path. "Jemmy, you just got back. You must be thirsty, why don't you have some tea before you rest?"
• Jemima stopped in her tracks and looked at the cup of so-called tea in Shirley's hand. She accepted the cup without any hesitation
• . The other three let out a sigh of relief at the same time. Shirley sneered in her heart, 'Jemima is still an idiot after all!' The tea had been spiked. All Jemima needed to do was to take a sip and she would become Mister Penty's woman!
• At the thought of how terrifying Mister Penty's tactics were about to be used on Jemima , Shirley was so delighted that she almost laughed out loud.
• Jemima looked up and swept Shirley a cold glance.
• The next second, she unexpectedly placed the cup back into Shirley's hands. "You drink it then."
• The hot liquid splashed out and burned Shirley. She wailed cut miserably!
• clang!
• The cup was smashed to pieces. The atmosphere suddenly turned tense. "Jemima! What the hell are you doing? Is that the manners of a young lady?!" Valerie's face turned blue as he yelled at Jemima angrily.
• Jemima looked at her stepmother's cold face. She no longer had any feelings left in her heart for her. It had been ten years.
• No matter how hard she tried her stepmother had not once shown her any love, She was already numb to her coldness.
• "I'm married. I'm no longer a young lady," Jemima said flatly while looking at her Family who was trying to set her up.
• "What did you say?" The other three were baffled!
• "Valerie Brown! What the hell is going on?" The lecherous Mister Penty questioned fiercely.
• "Mister Penty, don't listen to Jemima's nonsense." Valerie's face was fluctuating between turning pale and blue. She immediately explained to Mister Penty in a flattering manner.
• "Jemima just turned twenty years old. How could she have possibly married someone else? Don't worry."
• Jemima had long predicted that even if she told them, Valerie and the others would not believe her that easily! she reached into her bag and produced the marriage certificate, smiling mockingly. "What? Don't you know what a marriage certificate looks like?"
• "Uh..." They were completely in a daze. Shirley's eyes widened in shock. They thought that Jemima was only joking around. They never would have expected her to produce a real marriage certificate!
• Did Jemima not always have a crush on Eric? How could she have gotten married to another man? Mister Penty was furious. He pointed at Valerie and yelled, "How dare you, Valerie Brown ! How dare you lie to me! She is a married woman and yet you still dare to say that she is a pure and chaste lady of the Forrest family?"
• "No,no, no, Mister Penty! I wouldn't dare lie to you! Let me explain." Valerie was scared half to death. Her face had lost its color, She immediately bowed humbly.
• Jemima swept Valerie a mocking glance and kept her marriage certificate absentmindedly. "I'm married, but Shirley is still pure and chaste. She has always been the belle of the school."
• The moment Jemima said that, Mister Penty immediately sized Shirley up lecherously as he smiled lustfully. "Yes, Missus Forrest. How could I have forgotten your other daughter? Miss Shirley is pure and chaste. She would be a great match for Me."
• "Ah! No!" Shirley's face instantly turned pale as she retreated backwards. Both mother and daughter panicked. They never thought that things would end up this way!
• "Jemima, how could you throw Shirley under the bus?!" Valerie pointed at Jemima angrily as if Jemima was not also a member of the Forrest family but her archnemesis.
• Jemima snickered in her heart. They were both her daughters yet she could be thrown under the bus, but not Shirley.
• "Why? Mom, why do you think that Shirley marrying Mister Penty is her being thrown under the bus?" Jemima blinked and asked innocently.
• Mister Penty was infuriated! He slapped Valerie fiercely on the spot! "Valerie ! So, you feel aggrieved for marrying your daughter to me? If Shirley doesn't marry me today, you can say goodbye to your company!"
• "'Mister Penty..." Valerie's face was swollen. She was so frightened he was stammering.
