Chapter 411: What Else Did Mother Say?
When Julian saw Margaret, he quickly walked towards her.
He crouched down and pulled Margaret into his arms. "What’s wrong?"
As he spoke, he swept his gaze across everyone present, and his gaze was sharp like a powerful judge.
Everyone seemed to say that your wife fell onto the ground carelessly, which had nothing to do with them.
"It was me who accidentally fell down."
Margaret quietly lifted her little face from Julian’s embrace and said pitifully.
"What are you doing? When did the Jorgansens become so unruly?"
Mrs. Key’s deep and sharp voice rang out, immediately attracting everyone’s attention.
In this family, if Mrs. Key was here, Julian and Margaret couldn’t be the masters.
Everyone was waiting and see what would happen, meanwhile full of awe and respect for Mrs. Key.
Seeing that Mrs. Key had come over, Sophie was the first to greet her. She lowered her head and whispered to Mrs. Key, "Margaret accidentally fell."
As expected, a hint of displeasure flashed through Mrs. Key’s eyes.
How dared Margaret act wildly in the family! As a sophisticated woman, couldn’t she understand others’ thoughts?
Margaret was pulled up by Julian and stood obediently to the side, wiping her tears.
She whispered, "It’s my mistake."
Who were you pretending to be so weak for?
Sure enough, Mrs. Key’s gaze fell onto Jessie. Her figure moved slightly and she quickly got up from the ground.
She knew that in front of Mrs. Key, no matter how clever she was, she couldn’t be better than Mrs. Key.
"Alright, let’s sit together."
Mrs. Key glanced at the people. Her eyes carried a unique, deep, and domineering aura as a family owner.
Jessie wiped the tears on her face and obediently followed Sally.
Margaret doubted that Jessie was putting on an act and trying to get things over?
"Grandma..."
Margaret bit her lip and looked at Mrs. Key with red eyes.
When Mrs. Key turned to look over, Margaret’s tears instantly fell.
"I can’t keep the family’s great-grandson. I am unlucky. I have just recovered and can’t bear the pain of losing my child. I want to return to River City..."
She had just gotten married, but now she wanted to return to her home, so wouldn’t the Jorgansens lose face?
Mrs. Key’s gaze swept across Margaret’s face and she finally glanced at Jessie coldly.
Feeling something wrong, Jessie shrank her body and quickly shook her head in fear. "I must have made Margaret unhappy. I shouldn’t be here."
Mrs. Key snorted coldly and said in a flat voice, "Since you know that you shouldn’t be here, why are you still standing here?"
Jessie was stunned.
Today was a monthly dinner party in the Jorgansen’s. The Jorgansens would all gather at the old residence today.
If she left now, wouldn’t it tell everyone that she was not a child of the Jorgansens and had nothing to do with the Jorgansens?
Jessie was a little flustered. It was Brittany who had allowed her to stay. Why? Why didn’t Brittany help her?
Jessie’s eyes were red, and she looked around uneasily.
No one helped her. Even Sophie, who had spoken too much just now, kept silent beside the old lady and ignored Jessie expressionlessly.
In this family, useless people were not able to stay.
"Mother..." Just as Sally was about to speak, she was interrupted by Mrs. Key.
"What? Even you don’t have to eat at home?"
Sally was stunned. She quickly shut her mouth and clutched her sleeves tightly.
She wanted to speak up for Jessie, and now it seemed that even Mrs. Key would not help Jessie.
"Julian is right. Jessie is becoming more and more insensible. It is also due to your negligence of discipline as her mother."
Mrs. Key looked at Julian unhappily. Although she was unwilling, she could only say, "Jessie is your younger sister. You should teach her how to behave."
Mrs. Key said something unclear, then turned around and led everyone into the hall.
Margaret blinked and frowned as she looked at Julian, "What do you mean? Julian has the final say in Jessie’s matter?"
Did that mean that Julian got to decide whether Jessie had a higher status than her?
Margaret’s face was slightly puffed up, and she could not help but stare at Julian.
If he dared to allow Jessie to stay here, she would quarrel with him.
Jessie looked at Julian in surprise. Her eyes turned red again and she cried out innocently, "Julian..."
The girl’s soft and tender voice entered his ears.
Her voice seemed to be a faint coquetry.
Since Mrs. Key did not make a decision, as long as Julian could not bear to part with Jessie, then Margaret could not do anything to her.
A glimmer of hope ignited in the bottom of Jessie’s heart, but before she could say the words in her heart, she heard the man’s cold and ruthless voice.
"Since Jessie is not hungry, Marnan can accompany you back to pack your things. The plane is approaching here."
What?
He told her to leave today.
Moreover, she couldn’t stay here any longer...
Jessie’s shy little face suddenly turned pale.
She thought that Julian might still be a little angry, but she never thought that he...
was serious.
"Julian, do you really want me to leave?"
Jessie felt extremely wronged, and her tears also fell, making people feel distressed.
Sally immediately said angrily, "Julian, you have gone too far. Even if Jessie has offended your wife for a while, Jessie is your sister. How can you let her go to such a distant place abroad?"
Moreover, she was separated from her mother, without no one to rely on in the future.
Julian’s gaze was calm.
He was neither moved by Jessie’s deep affection nor threatened by Sally’s words. He said coldly, "If Marnan is worried, you can follow Jessie."
"What, you, you want to drive me out of the Jorgansen’s?"
Sally had a look of disbelief on her face. "Are you crazy? I am your elder. How can you do this to me? Grandma will not agree."
"Since Marnan can’t let go of Jessie, she will accompany her to live and study abroad. Grandma will naturally not object."
Julian said calmly as if he was just having a meal.
Sally’s face stiffened. She realized that Julian was telling her the truth.
He was not joking with her. If she said another word for Jessie, she would not be able to stay in the family.
She endured for a moment, gritted her teeth, and said softly, "Although Jessie is not your biological sister, you have seen her grow up. What if she encounters danger outside the country alone? She is a weak girl. How can she protect herself?"
"Don’t worry, Marnan. I have already arranged for staff to take care of Jessie in the school. If Marnan is still worried, she can also meet your future son-in-law."
Julian’s words stunned Jessie and Sally.
Even her voice couldn’t help but tremble. "You want Jessie to marry a man?"
Wouldn’t that mean that she would never be able to return to the Jorgansen’s in the future?
...
Jessie thought Julian would cut her and her mother some slack because it was a family dinner and Brittany was there.
Jessie had no idea that Brittany had switched sides and Julian wanted her to marry abroad.
If she went abroad, there was nothing she could do.
Margaret looked at Julian’s profile, surprised and in a trance.
She did think that Julian would not help Jessie, but she did not expect him to be so ruthless.
He really didn’t give this goody-two-shoes a chance.
Margaret sighed at how unfeeling Julian was, at the same time, there was a little love in her heart.
Because she realized that her man was so determined and could be cruel enough to his kinship.
Jessie’s strategy no longer worked.
If a person planned to gain sympathy by pretending to be pathetic, it only worked for those who care about this one.
And for people who didn’t care about this person, they really didn’t give a shit.
All Julian cared about was what he loved.
Margaret pursed her lips and lowered her head to smile.
"Julian, do you really want to be so cruel? It’s just that I accidentally upset Margaret, not that I did anything heinous. Why are you doing this to me?"
Jessie’s words were like fate was not fair to her and everyone was bullying her.
Margaret frowned, worried that Jessie’s trick would succeed.
Fortunately, Julian seemed immune to it. He only said, "If you don’t want to go, I don’t mind having someone send you there."
If being soft didn’t work, Julian would be tough.
He was completely impersonal in this matter.
Jessie’s hands at her sides clenched so hard that she almost crumpled the clothes.
She bit her lip in a weak and innocent smile.
"Julian, you don’t need to worry about me. You know I do what you say. If you want me to go, I will go. If you want me to marry, I will marry. I’ll be good. I will not make a fuss."
As Jessie spoke, she wiped the tears off her face and smiled at Julian with a wronged expression.
She turned around and ran out.
Seeing this, Sally turned nervous and followed her out.
Without them, this meal was quite satisfying.
Although she received a few inciting words from Sophie from time to time, Margaret ignored them completely.
As soon as dinner was over, all the family members made a quick exit. Brittany went back to her room and whispered to her maid, "Jessie has gone?"
The maid nodded. "Madam, why did you suddenly agree to let her go abroad when you had promised to let her stay?"
Brittany closed her eyes and said tiredly, "She doesn’t work hard enough. She always wanted someone to help her, which made me so disappointed in her. It’s good she’s gone, or she’ll always be dependent on her family."
The maid was stunned. "Madam, do you plan to hand over the Jorgansen Group to Julian?"
The successor of the Jorgansen family had always been Marcos, and Brittany had even spent twenty years nurturing this grandson.
It was just a pity that this grandson was not blessed.
"Now that he’s got the Andersons on his side, I can’t contain him even if I don’t want to. It’s only a matter of time before he gets it all."
The maid nodded. "It’s getting late. You’d better rest early."
Brittany responded. She was old and could no longer support the entire family.
On the way back, Margaret sat in the car and stretched comfortably.
"I’m so full."
This was the first time she felt so full after marrying into the Jorgansen family and having a family dinner.
And to annoy Sophie, she ate an extra half of a bowl of rice.
Margaret couldn’t help laughing at the thought of the Jorgansens on the dining table today.
"Why did you ask Jessie to go abroad?"
Margaret leaned over and said to the man who was seriously driving.
Her eyes sparkled with curiosity for gossip.
Julian only glanced at her indifferently and said in a neutral tone, "Nothing."
He was just fulfilling his mother-in-law’s criteria for a good son-in-law. How could he not do what his mother-in-law did before he left?
Margaret rolled her eyes. Looking at the man’s disdainful face, she coldly snorted and said, "It’s fine if you let her go abroad, but why do you want her to marry!"
Although she was happy to see Jessie marry someone.
But in front of Julian, she would not show it.
Margaret’s eyes sparkled with excitement.
She was obviously pleased with the result of the matter, but she acted as if she didn’t care.
If she was able to control her smug face, Julian would really believe her. "What’s wrong? You don’t want Jessie to get married?"
Julian looked at Margaret and said, "You say that Jessie has feelings for me. You want me to reject her and cut off her thoughts."
Julian thought marriage would work.
If Jessie got married, she wouldn’t be able to bother him anymore.
Margaret rolled her eyes at the way he tried not to smile.
"Don’t flatter yourself. Jessie might not have taken a fancy to you."
"That’s mother’s idea."
Julian suddenly said.
He wanted to send Jessie far away from home, and then bring her back after a long time.
He did not expect his mother-in-law to be so straightforward.
She just let Jessie get married and forbade her to return to her homeland.
Although Sally would resent Julian for doing this, he could save himself a lot of trouble by putting an end to it now.
"Mother asked you to do this?"
Margaret opened her eyes wide, filled with joy.
There was no doubt that her mother loved her very much and helped her to sweep away all difficulties.
When Jessie tried to bully her, Orlenna point-blank sent her straight out, which removed all worries.
"Why did you do what my mother said?"
Margaret leaned in and Julian pushed her head away, warning, "I’m driving. Sit well."
Margaret rubbed her forehead and muttered in a low voice, "So cruel."
Julian gave her a look and slowly replied, "Mother is right. If Jessie is here, she might hurt you. It might be a good thing for her to leave."
Margaret furrowed her brows and looked at Julian’s serious face. For some reason, she suddenly felt a little hot.
She quickly rubbed her face, turned her head away, and asked guiltily, "What else did mother say?"
"You want to know?"
Julian suddenly turned to look at her. Under Margaret’s puzzled gaze, he smiled.
Julian’s low, husky voice filled the carriage. "She wants us to have a child."
"There is no doubt," thought Julian, "that Margaret owes me a child."
