Chapter 389 Upon Tiffany’s return to the Jordan mansion...

Joey quickly went to greet her as she caringly asked, “Tiffany, how did it go? Are you happy with the gown? Is everything okay?”

“Mm...yeah...” Tiffany’s lips pursed, seemingly downcast but still forced a smile to say, “Don’t worry, Mum, I’ll be fine... Just a bit tired, so I’ll get some rest.”

“Okay.” Joey eyed Tiffany and felt something was off.

After Tiffany went back to her room, she called on Ronnie, “What happened? She doesn’t seem happy.”

“Oh, it’s n-nothing, Madam! Really, it’s nothing...” Ronnie shook her head vigorously, though her expression seemed as though she was not telling the truth.

“Tell me all at once,” demanded Joey, “or I’ll find Tiffany a much better assistant.”

“Madam, no! I want to work for Ms. Tiffany! I’ll tell...! I’ll tell you right away!” With a terrified expression, Ronnie lowered her head and stuttered, “W-We went to pick the wedding gown today, and they were all ready-made without any special designs to them.

Ms. Tiffany saw one that she liked, but it cost a million bucks. Mr. Cabell said she doesn’t have to pick such an expensive gown and asked her to pick another...

“Also, Madam Cabell had told Ms. Tiffany for a few times now, saying it’s her blessing to be able to marry Julian. She asked her to not ask for too many things, and ask her to compromise...!”

“Ronnie! Don’t make things up!” came the abrupt yell from above them.

Tiffany rushed down the stairs and sat beside Joey. “Mum, please don’t listen to Ronnie... There’s no such thing! The Cabells are treating me very well, and Julian is treating me well, too. Ronnie made that all up... S-She made them up...”

Despite her reassurance, Tiffany’s voice got hoarse as her eyes were glossed with tears.

Joey’s heart ached at the sight of her daughter as she argued, “What nonsense! How could they treat you that way? You’re our precious daughter, and you’re not for them to look down on! Stop defending them, Tiffany. We’re going to have a little chat with them now!”

Joey grabbed Tiffany’s hand and was ready to leave.

Tiffany resisted as she grabbed Joey’s hand tightly. “Mum, no, please don’t! Now that my reputation is ruined, being able to marry Julian is indeed my greatest blessing. I’m truly happy. Moreover, you know it yourself that business-minded people like the Cabells only care about the profit. Now that I’ve left the modeling industry, I can’t make any money, and I only have a meager percentage of the family shares. What else can a person like me ask for?

“Julian is willing to accept me, willing to marry me, and that’s already my greatest blessing. I don’t ask for anything else. Please, Mum, don’t make it harder for them.”

Her tone was soft and weak, understanding and humble.

Joey pitied her and eventually calmed down. She noticed how the Cabells treated Tiffany with contempt during their wedding planning session, but she restrained herself and did not speak to them about it. She never expected that they still gave Tiffany hell!

After all, Tiffany was her own daughter–the apple of her eye ever since she was a child. How could the Cabells harm her? It was at that moment Joey made her decision as she gently said,” Tiffany, I’m pleased that you’re so understanding. Go get some rest, I’ve some things to attend to.”

“Alright, don’t wear yourself out,” Tiffany said caringly and left with Ronnie. “Don’t speak behind my back in the future!” Tiffany sternly spoke to Ronnie. “Okay...!”
