Mr. Tycoon's Beloved Wife: The Madam No One Dares to Offend

Chapter 406: No Point Sucking up to the Anderson Family

In the Jorgansen family’s former residence.

It was a quiet and traditional Chinese-style separate garden near the main courtyard.

Buildings were unique here.

There was an artificial mountain in the garden. Water streamed from the peak into the pool.

The pond was packed with lotus flowers, but it was at the end of their blossom. Only a few wilted pink flowers and many lotus seedpods swung in the wind.

The goldfishes in the water huddled together for food thrown by people in the pavilion.

Jessie saw these goldfishes tangling up in the pond and felt that they were no longer elegant in front of food.

These goldfishes were raised in a pond, and they were usually unique. But at this time, they didn’t care about how special they were in front of food.

Elegance was more like a joke.

Jessie smiled indifferently and poured the entire box of food into the pond.

It caused another crazy battle for food in the water.

Sally quickly walked over along the corridor.

When Jessie saw Sally, she quickly stood up and called out, "Mom!"

Suddenly she just heard a crack.

Sally slapped Jessie’s face hard.

A red mark was left on her pale face.

Jessie didn’t expect it was coming and stared at Sally. Her mouth gently moved, and she felt it was painful.

"Mom, what’s wrong with you?"

"You tell me! You ruin my name!"

Sitting on the bench, Sally was furious, especially when she thought of Margaret’s insult.

Sally didn’t give birth to a true heir, so she wasn’t qualified to inherit any fortune from the Jorgansen family.

All these years, she had been living in the side room. She knew her place and didn’t want to be a part of the family struggle.

Even if the Jorgansen family didn’t accept her, she had to fight for her dignity. At least she couldn’t leave the house.

Sally had lived a suffering life for many years and pinned all her hopes on Jessie.

But she didn’t expect that she would become the target of blame one day.

Brittany changed her attitude and scolded Sally, and the other family members also secretly ridiculed her.

This really pissed her off.

"Why did you mess around with Margaret? Haven’t you heard that they were the bosses of this house? Do you know how valuable the baby in her belly is? How dare you piss her off? They almost kick us out."

Although it was the smallest side room here, it was many times larger than the ordinary houses.

If Brittany kicked her out just to please the Anderson family, she wouldn’t know how to survive.

"What? Margaret was pregnant?"

Jessie felt it was more unbelievable than why her mom slapped her.

"That’s impossible. How long has she been married? How can it happen?"

If it was real, why everyone in the Jorgansen family wouldn’t know about that? Did she hide it deliberately?

"You’re right. Margaret just found out she was pregnant and then lost her baby because of you. She secretly came out of the hospital and didn’t tell anyone in the Anderson family. Do you know how scary Brittany is? She almost ripped my skin off."

Sally still trembled with fear once she thought of Brittany sitting with her in one car on the way home.

"The Andersons weren’t easy to handle. Even Brittany has to suck up to them, let alone me. I’m nothing for them."

Sally was poor because she had always been a scapegoat.

The Jorgansen family wanted to blame Sally and Jessie for Margaret’s miscarriage. How could they take such a big crime?

Jessie took a step back with her mouth wide open. "Did she have a miscarriage?"

What were the odds of that happening?

Jessie grabbed her wrist hard.

She wondered,

The Jorgansen family didn’t stand on her side, and what’s worse, they blamed her on Margaret’s miscarriage.

"It was true. Margaret had been discharged and was weak. She owned the hospital’s operation record. How did she lose her baby? Did you..."

"I didn’t do anything!"

Jessie shuddered and quickly shook her head. "You know me. I’m as timid as a mouse. How could it be possible that I go and provoke her? When I left that day, she was fine..."

"So, there’s only one answer. She eats something bad and causes a miscarriage. I’m just happened to be there."

Jessie thought it was the truth, and Margaret wanted to set her up.

Jessie gripped her wrist tight. At this moment, all people in the Jorgansen family must plan to vent their anger on her.

"What’s the point of saying such a thing? Mrs. Anderson is a tough character, and the Anderson family is difficult to handle. Even your grandmother has to lick their boots, so we’re screwed this time!"

Orlenna wouldn’t let the ’murder’ get away with it easily.

It was a great chance for her to suppress the Jorgansen family.

"Mom, don’t worry. Let me see."

Jessie wiped away the tears on Sally’s face and calmed down quickly.

"Easier said than done. Brittany plans to turn us in, and she might kick us out tomorrow."

Sally was panicked once she thought that she might be thrown out on the street. "What will happen to you, Jessie? If we move out of the Jorgansen family, we will become a joke in the whole city. How can you stay in the socialite circle?"

Jessie was blindsided by Sally’s words and utterly devastated.

She survived the harsh life in the Jorgansen family over the past twenty years so that she couldn’t give up at this moment. No one could kick her out.

"Mom, don’t worry. I won’t let Grandma do that."

Although Jessie lived like a loser in the past few years, she was respected as the Jorgansen family’s member. If she left the house, she would be nothing.

People would only taunt her if she weren’t a part of the Jorgensen’s.

"Hey, don’t do anything stupid again. What’s more, don’t mess around with Julian and Margaret. They just lost their children. What if they blame it on you?"

It seemed that Julian and Margaret would dominate the Jorgansen family sooner or later with the Andersons’ support.

Jessie bit her lip and said, "Okay, I won’t."

It didn’t matter whether the pregnant thing was true or not at this moment.

As long as the Anderson family got involved, things wouldn’t go well for Sally and Jessie.

Jessie balled her fist. Fresh blood gushed out from her new wound due to the strong pressure.

When Sally saw the blood on the gauze, she felt nervous and distressed. "Jessie, your wound!"

Although poor Jessie wasn’t her biological daughter, Sally had been with her since she was a child. It was all Margaret’s fault that they had fallen into this situation.

...

The sun at noon was still glaring even in early autumn.

It was steamingly hot, and the heat of the noontide rose from the sun-roasted ground.

The summer heat had scarcely declined as yet, and people couldn’t stand the burning sun at noon.

"Is that girl still outside?"

The air conditioner was on, and it was comfortable in the room. Fresh fruits were brought out of the refrigerator to the table. Cool air rose from the fruits, adding chills to the room.

Brittany put down her fan, slightly opened her eyes, and revealed a pair of dim but wise eyes.

Sophie glanced through the large window emotionlessly and said, "Yes. Do you want me to invite Jessie in?"

Brittany’s eyelids gently trembled and then closed up.

Then Sophie zipped her lips.

If Jessie wanted to kneel outside, then Brittany would let her do it.

The Jorgansen family was never short of poor beggars like Jessie.

"Sally stayed here for a while when you were napping."

Jenny spoke and then glanced at Brittany.

Jenny married the eldest sons of the Jorgansen family and gave birth to three daughters. When she finally had a son, it turned out that he was unlucky to have cerebral palsy.

Jenny was supposed to be the most decent person in the family, but in the end, the seniors disliked her because she didn’t have a true heir.

Jenny glanced at Sophie, and it was hard to tell the expression on Sophie’s face.

Marcos was named to be the legal heir of the Jorgansen family when he married Sophie. They lived a decent and happy life at that time.

But unluckily, Marcos had an accident when they just got married. Sophie shouldn’t blame anyone but her bad luck. From then on, her husband fell from a prominent heir to a disabled person.

It was a funny and sad story.

Brittany snorted and sulkily said, "How dare she come here to find me?"

"Mom, it isn’t good for your health to be angry."

Jenny handed over a cup of coffee to Brittany and said with respect, "Poor Sally. She treated Jessie as the apple of her eye, and now Jessie makes such a fuss. Poor mom."

"What? Jessie doesn’t deserve that."

Alice at the side did the scathing review.

Alice had two sons, but they were all good-for-nothing. One was addicted to women, and the other was obsessed with drawing tools.

She could only witness the man, who came from nowhere, become the successor of the Jorgansen family and take on everyone.

"Jessie has always been clever and sensible. It’s no wonder why Sally likes."

Sophie explained in a low voice.

Everyone heard she was provoking Jenny.

Jenny glanced at Sophie and adjusted herself.

"Mom, Sally is always hotheaded, but she has been kind to Jessie for all these years. I heard that Jessie didn’t do anything so that the miscarriage might be an accident."

At this time, Brittany opened her eyes again.

She gave Jenny a cold glance and made Jenny silent.

Alice smiled, "Jenny, what are you saying? Margaret’s baby was not ordinary but the Jorgansen family’s future heir. Do you know that Mom pinned so much of her hope on Margaret’s belly? Jessie is just an adopted daughter in our family. Is she as important as the great-grandson?"

"Even if she died, she would never make up the loss, let alone she was just kneeling outside."

Alice glanced out of the window, and her lip curled into a sneered.

It would be best if one of them was dead, and that would be interesting.

It would be best if one of them was dead, and that would be interesting.

"But it’s what it is. I heard that Margaret bullied Jessie almost to her death."

"Although Jessie was the Jorgansens’ adopted child, isn’t this Margaret too arrogant? She bullies Jessie just because she looks down on us. Is it because she got the support from the Anderson family?"

Jenny suddenly realized that she had said something inappropriate.

She was sure about that when she saw Brittany pulling a grim face.

The old lady looked solemn and sharp at this moment.

She clenched the fan in her hand and said in a heavy, husky voice, "There’s no point sucking up to the Anderson family."

"It’s my fault, and it just came out wrong. Mom, don’t take it seriously."

Jenny’s face froze, and she quickly lowered her head.

"Jenny, do you really think that we are afraid of the Anderson family?"

Alice wanted to stir up trouble. She still wore a smug smile on her face, even if she was just warned.

It didn’t matter if Julian was the heir. Anyway, her sons had to get every penny that they deserved.

"Mom, I..."

"Enough. Tell Jessie to leave. The Jorgansen family has its own rules, and I don’t think you guys have the final say."

Brittany stopped the meaningless debate, and the others didn’t dare to say another word.

If Julian were the Jorgansen family’s prince, then Brittany would be the empress.

No one dared to defy the empress.

Jessie staggered and limped into the small courtyard.

Sally nervously watched her coming over and quickly went up to help her.

She sympathetically looked at Julian’s leg, and the tears almost came out. "How is it? Did grandma forgive you?"

Jessie looked a bit haggard. Her face was flushed with sunburnt, and her lips were dry. "Mom, don’t worry. Grandma won’t kick us out."

Sally was relieved. The only wish for her was not to leave the house.

The Jorgansen family was wealthy and prosperous, and they couldn’t take it. All they wanted was just a stable life in the family.

"Get in the house quickly. I’ve got someone to make the green bean soup to help you get rid of the summer heat."

"You’re fragile. It must be tough for you to kneel outside for half a day. I am afraid you might fall sick again."

Jessie found Sally’s nagging annoyed.

She quickly turned around and smiled, "I’ll be alright after some rest, Mom."

Sally frowned in worry and sighed helplessly.

"I’m glad that you’re okay. It’s a pity that you’re not my biological daughter. You can’t bring up that you work for the Jorgansen family, and it would be better not to disturb that woman."

Jessie learned a lesson after this.

Margaret seemed to be friendly and innocent.

But Orlenna was a tough character. She wasn’t the kind of person they could provoke.

Jessie’s face turned slightly red, and she said with gritted teeth. "Even if we don’t disturb her, she won’t let us go." Jessie had a feeling that the story was not over yet...
