บท 16: Jasmine, Embarrassed

The next morning, while Jeanne was still sitting on the toilet bowl, she received Monica's call.

She answered, "Monica…"

"JEANNE! I'm losing my mind! Oh my god!" Monica's furious voice came from the other end of the phone. She sounded like she was suffering a meltdown and was screaming crazily.

"Dr. Jones made you mad?" Jeanne was rather calm.

"What? Don't even bring that man into this! He has nothing to do with this!"

"Then, what's wrong?"

"Jasmine, your little b*tchy stepsister! Did you know what she posted online?"

"What?" Jeanne furrowed her brows.

"She posted, and I quote, 'Thank you, Uncle Edward.', with a picture of that sapphire from last night! Oh my god! Is Edward Swan out of his mind?! He outbid Eden just to get the sapphire for Jasmine?! Ridiculous!"

Jeanne remained quiet. Something felt strange and it was not a comfortable feeling.
