Chapter 109
Jane Smith looked up at Rachel Grey in shock.
Rachel’s expression was cold, and the corners of her lips curled up with a hint of ruthlessness.
Jane’s heart skipped a beat, and she subconsciously retreated. She grabbed Mrs. Smith’s arm tightly
and stammered, “Ra, Rachel Grey, what are you trying to do? You are in the presence of the Smith
family!”
“It’s precisely because of that that Miss Smith has to keep her word.” Rachel looked at her with a faint
smile. “If you go back on your word, I’m afraid the Smith family will be seen as dishonest people in the
eyes of outsiders onward.”
Jane had never felt more regretful in her life. Now, she was in a predicament.
But what was the use of such regret? Everyone was looking at her eagerly as if they would not stop
until they saw her kneel and apologize.
Perhaps everyone’s unfeeling gazes agitated her. Jane red at Rachel with hatred in her eyes. She
roared indignantly, “Just because you say so doesn’t make it authentic! Maybe this old man is taking
your side, or this was all nned by you in advance!”
Everyone was shocked by her words. Then, Jane became the center of attention in an instant.
They could not help but think that the youngdy of the Smith family was not only stupid but also
hopeless.
Mrs. Smith frowned. Just as she was about to reprimand Jane, Old Mr. Smith, who had been silent,
bellowed, “Jane Smith, shut up!”
Given Mr. Griffin’s prestige in Seaxas, he was definitely not someone the Smith family could offend!
However, Jane challenged Mr. Griffin’s authority in front of others. She was just. -hopelessly stupid!
“Grandpa, I…” Jane stuttered, looking at her grandfather’s stern expression. Aggrieved, she bit her lips,
and tears welled up in her eyes.
Mrs. Smith patted Jane’s hand gently, indicating for her to calm down.
“Rachel Grey, why didn’t you say anything if you knew that the pocket watch is
authentic?” Mrs. Smith frowned at Rachel. There was a hint of anger on her face. “Could it be that you
did it on purpose to humiliate Jane Smith?”
Upon hearing this, Rachel could not help but chuckle. “Would you believe me if I imed that? From
the beginning, the Smith family has been making things difficult for me. It was Jane Smith who
pressured me to kneel and apologize. It was also Jane Smith who made the bet. Now that things have
not gone as you wish, are you going to bite back at me?”
“Miss Grey, Jane Smith is still young and impetuous. It’s inevitable for her to be rash and hot–headed
at this age. I hope you can be magnanimous and forgive her this once,” Olivia, Cruise’s gentle voice
sounded.

Chapter 109
“Why should I be magnanimous? I am also still young. I refuse to give in. Those who try to step on me
should be prepared for my retaliation. This is an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth!”
“Rachel. I didn’t expect you to be like this. Previously, you were warm–hearted despite your cold
appearance. You would look at the big picture in everything you do. But now, you’re selfish andck
consideration for the consequences at all…”
“Enough!” Rachel roared. She raised her eyes and looked at Louis Smith with a sinister gaze. “Louis
Smith, you’re thest person with the right to say that to me! Why didn’t you say anything when I was
treated hostilely? What were you doing earlier when others. pressured me to ept the bet? And now
you’re pretending to be kind? It’s toote! I don’t want to hear any more nonsense from you! ept the
consequences since you chose to make a bet. Jane Smith, kneel this instant!”
Jane’s cold voice was both powerful and intimidating.
In an instant, everyone present fell silent.
Jane’s eyes were filled with hatred as she red at Rachel. “I’m not going to kneel! You bitch, I’ll fight
you to the death!”
A cold glint appeared in Rachel’s eyes.
