Chapter 925 âYou insulted my mother, so I just taught you a lesson,â Adina said calmly. âYou could have just insulted her back in the same way. Why did you use violence?â Zhenny questioned her angrily. âI donât insult elders because Iâm a cultivated person.â Adina sneered. She unzipped her purse and took out a card. âHereâs $10,000,000 to cover the medical fees for treating your finger and your psychological pain. Is it sufficient?â âNo, itâs not!â Jasmine screamed at a high pitch. âI want you to experience the pain of a broken finger. Iâll even pay you $20,000,000!â âIf you donât want it, fine.â Adina kept her card. âDuke, take the kids. Weâre going home.â
Duke nodded indifferently. âMs. Yackley, you insulted my motherâinâlaw. I wonât let this slip. Itâs New Yearâs Eve today, so I wonât look into it for the time being. I hope youâll behave yourself.â
He glanced at Jasmine with hostility before he gave Zhenny a look of gentle warning. He held Adinaâs waist with his left hand while he held Georgeâs hand with his right. George held his siblings, and the family of six walked out of the Jones familyâs mansion together.
As soon as the six of them disappeared, Jasmine burst into tears. âWhy? How could she still be so arrogant after she hurt me? Mom, Grandpa, are you just going to watch while Iâm harmed? Uncle Dillon, your precious daughter is tormenting me. Arenât you going to say something?â Dillon glared at her. âAddyâs mother is off limits to her and to me. You should be glad that I didnât hear those words in person, or else I wouldâve likely disowned you as my niece!â
âYes, I scolded her mother! But was she right to break my finger?â Jasmine winced her teeth and said, âI insulted her mother as a personal attack, but she used violence to intentionally injure me. I can call the police!â
Zhenny appeared disappointed. âDillon, youâre indulging your daughter too much. She grew up illegitimately without any manners, yet you defend her unconditionally. If she kills someone, would you still protect her? The Jones family isnât capable of standing up to the Winters Corporation, so Jas and I will have to put up with this, but that doesnât mean we think weâre in the wrong!â She held Jasmine tightly and coldly said, âLetâs go to the hospital!â It was not until Zhenny left the mansion with Jasmine that Mr. Jones said, âIt was Jasmineâs fault, but Addy went too far. Dillon, if you have the time, you should educate Addy and get her to behave herself.â
Even though family members quarreled, it should not escalate to the extent of injuring anyone no matter what.
Mr. Jones shook his head before he turned around and went to the living room. Dillon sighed.
The extended luxurious car moved smoothly on the street.
The children were sitting at the back while Adina and Duke were sitting in the front seats.
Adina lowered her head and looked at her hands. She did not understand why she had suddenly injured Jasmine either.
Based on her past temperament, she would just slap her at most.
Breaking a finger by force was really too much. âAddy, stop thinking about it.â Duke wrapped his arm around her and whispered, âThatâs the consequence of offending people. It has nothing to do with you.â
Adina shook her head. âI donât want to think about this unhappy situation now.â
She turned around and looked at her children at the back. âWhen we get home, take a shower first.
After your shower, weâll watch the countdown show on TV together. Itâs New Yearâs Eve tonight, so you can sleep after 12:00 am.â
She sounded gentle and happy, but the kids were unresponsive. After a few seconds, Alden eventually said, âOkay, Mommy. Iâll do the countdown with you.â âWill we be five years old after the countdown?â
George raised his head and asked. âYouâll be five years old, but itâs only official after your birthday on May 20th.â Adina pinched Melody and Haroldâs cheeks. âWhy do you look so down?â
