Chapter 17


    Chapter 17 The Blemish


    If not for Monica’s revtion, there was no way Jessica would believe that she and Melissa were born of


    different mothers, let alone the fact that Melissa’s mother used to be the housekeeper who tended to her


    own mother.


    Shemented in her mind, “To have squeezed her way into my ce, this illegitimate child of a


    housekeeper has plenty of tricks up her sleeve!”


    After putting on a random outfit, Jessica caught a taxi back to the Jackson residence. The moment


    Jonathan, her father, saw her, he pped her in the face before he even said a word.


    “Where did you find the cheek toe home after disgracing our family?”


    “Calm down, Jonathan. Jessica has juste back. What’s the point in being so angry? Besides, she’s


    still a child. It’s understandable for her to make mistakes.”


    Rhonda Rousley, Melissa’s mother, approached them. Her long and slender fingers stroked Jonathan’s


    chest as she pacified him in a gentle tone.

    “What happened to you? I heard Melissa mention that you are still working at Cerulean. Have you not


    humiliated me enough already?” Jonathan thundered.


    The more he looked at her, the more intense his rage became, and he made no effort to hold it back.


    Jessica just stood there in silence. With an expressionless face, she looked no different from a zombie.


    The Jackson family was single-handedly groomed by the Queens. Prior to that, Jonathan was nothing


    but a poor and ignorant student who came from the vige.


    If it wasn’t for Jessica’s mother, he would still be writing code in a randompany instead of enjoying


    himself in the upper echelons of society. Despite being in their debt, he ignored the Queen family after


    they had fallen from grace.


    In fact, he never bothered to show up when his mother-inw died from sickness. Faced with such a


    father, Jessica not only felt it beneath her to talk to him but was also disgusted by the fact that she was


    his daughter.


    Suddenly, the sound of hurried footsteps preceded a gentle voice. “Mr. Jackson, Mr. and Mrs. Gulliford


    have arrived at the door with theirpanions.”


    Without a moment’s dy, a smile emerged on Jonathan’s face. He headed to the door to wee his


    guests with Rhonda in tow.


    Subsequently, Jessica went upstairs to the room that used to belong to her.


    The opulent decorations that were previously there had been removed, and all that was left was some


    worthless furniture.


    As shey on her bed, images of her luxurious life when she was a child shed across her mind.


    She thought, “To be honest, those were blissful days. If I hadn’t been foolish enough to listen to Melissa


    and reject Trevor’s advances back then, would I now have be Mrs. Gulliford, to be the envy of


    others alongside my exceptional husband? However, it no longer matters now, for that’s all in the past.


    With my six adorable children, I no longer wish for anything more.”


    “What’s wrong, my dear sister? Are you still dreaming about being the apple of the eye of the Jackson


    family?” Melissa walked into the room, her eyes filled with disdain. “This room is really big. In fact, it’s


    twice the size of mine. Your mom was truly biased.”


    “Where are my mom’s ashes?”


    Jessica didn’t want to waste a moment talking to a mistress’ child. After all, allowing Melissa to be raised


    in the Jackson residence was an extremelypassionate act on her mom’s part.


    “Fed to the dogs!” Melissa replied in a nonchnt tone, her smile deepening at the same time.


    “Also, everything that you used to have belongs to me now. Regardless of your status as Horington’s top


    socialite or the ck card that only you possess.”


    While speaking, Melissa waved the ck card in her hand that was representative of her status as the


    city’s top socialite.


    “I now have everything that used to belong to you. Are you pissed? Even if you are, you have no choice


    but to bear with it!” Melissa broke into a mocking smile. On her way out, she remarked without even


    looking back, “Come down for the meal, and be quick about it. Otherwise, I can’t guarantee if our father


    wille up here and give you an earful. After all, you are the biggest blemish of his life!”


    With bloodshot eyes, Jessica gave Melissa a deathly stare.
