Chapter 207: Chapter 207

Chapter 207 “I’m sull hungry!” Rebecca replied stubbornly.

“Why don’t you buy it yourself?” Jared responded in a frank and unemotional manner.

Upon hearing that, Rebecca and Joe became visibly upset. Rebecca pouted as she argued, “What’s the matter with you? She’s just a mere employce. Why can’t I order her to buy something for me?”

“Mere employee? What about you?” Jared continued relentlessly. “You have forgotten about your past, haven’t you?”

Rebecca had been a helpless orphan before being adopted by Cameron and Zachary, Upon hearing those words, Rebecca feli humiliated and could not hold back hier anger: “Screw you! Are you seriously getting mad at me because of her?”

Jared sneered, “You expect others to be submissive and tolerate you just because you are now part of the Moore family, don’t you?”

“Jarcu, shut up!” Joe interrupted and glanceolat Kristina in annoyance. “What a scheming little mind you have! Why are you deliberately creating a scene and upiscing everyone over sucha simple request?”

She immciliately shook licr head and fenicil, “No, it’s not like that!”

Ashton raised his eyebrows and ordered, “Then go buy it now!”

Hearing Ashton’s order, Kristina shot a glance at Jared. However, seeing that even he chose to remain silent, she reluctantly stood up and left.

“What are you? In love with her?” Seeing that Kristina had left, Ashton looked at Jared and asked blatantly.

“No!” Jared immediately denied the accusation and took a sip of wine, refusing to say anything else.

“Then don’t let her ruin your relationship with Joe!” Ashton chided softly. He then shifted his gaze to Joe, “And you, play nice next time!”

Joe nodded and raised his glass towards Jared. “Jared, I’m sorry for losing my cool just now!”

Without saying a word, Jared toasted to him and emptied the glass. That was considered as a reconciliation.

The relationship between men was not complicated, and they let bygones be bygones.

The three of them continued to chat, and it seemed like they have chosen to forget about the ruckus relating to Kristina.

Rebecca pursed her lips and was obviously unhappy. She stayed in the room for only a while longer before she stood up and left.

Having sat for a prolonged period of time, I was starting to feel uncomfortable, so I approached Ashton and whispered in his ear, “I need to get some air!”

He nodded and stood up. “I’ll go with you!”

However, I shook my head and refused. “It’s all right. I’ll go by myself.”

I then gently pushed him down to his seat and smiled before I left.

With all kinds of people coming to Paramount Club, I dared not travel too far and chose to stroll along the corridor.

Rebecca saw me wandering along the corridor when she came out of the bathroom. So she approached me and sarcastically remarked, “It looks like your baby is due soon! But it’s hard to say if it will be safely delivered, nor will it survive!”

I frowned and immediately leaned against the wall to steady myself. After ensuring my own safety, I looked at her and replied, “Ms. Larson, I thought you would be gracious and become more gentle after joining the Moore family. But it seems like you are getting worse instead. No wonder Ashton is getting more tired of you!”

Rebecca was speechless with rage for a moment. She then glared at me. “Scarlett Stovall! Who do you think you are? Do you really think you can make Ashton stay by your side by having his baby? That’s impossible! Killing a person, not to mention a baby, is a simple task for the Moore family. You won’t have him! I won’t let you give birth to the baby!”

Going through all means to destroy one’s enemy was the darkest aspect of human nature.

While I held on to my belly, I gave her a cold-eyed stare and sneered, “There is always rule of law, no matter how formidable the Moore family is. They won’t simply hurt an innocent because of you. Look at yourself, all anxious and panicked. There must be tons of people in the Moore family who look down on you and refuse to accept you into their family!”

If Rebecca led a comfortable life in the Moore family, she would not engage in such attention seeking behavior.

Seeing as she was losing to me in argument, Rebecca stomped her feet and threatened me, “Just you wait!”
