Mr. Kane Got cklisted By Eleven Jewell Chapter 282


    Chapter 282


    There was a tradition in the town where a family would hold a big banquet with friends and rtives


    once their child was epted into college. The guests would also give the kid their best regards for


    their future.


    That was why when Ste was epted into Trinity University, Rainee hosted a banquet with eighty-


    eight tables at their old home. She did not charge their rtives and friends a single cent. It did not


    matter if any of them made snarky remarks toward her and Ste because they were jealous. She still


    boasted her daughter’s achievements to everyone she saw.


    Lydia, on the other hand, started telling everyone that her son was having a celebration the second his


    high school admission letter arrived in the mail. She even asked the guests to donate what they could


    to have a feast. However, when the time came, they found out that Lydia had only set up a few tattered


    tables on the front porch. She then asked everyone to enter the house to eat.


    When they entered her house, they discovered that the decorations werecking. Even a funeral


    looked nicer than Lydia’s ce. It was clear that she did not want to spend any money. And, she only


    cooked up a massive pot of stew to satisfy their hunger.


    Lydia had used the leftover radishes and cabbages that their shop could not sell in the stew. There


    were only a few pieces of meat in it too. She had received more than 100 thousand dors from the


    donations, yet she had the audacity to serve a pot of stew. It was an embarrassing sight since they


    obviously could do better. Aside from Albert Jewell, Lydia’s family was the second richest in the Jewell


    family.


    She owned tens of acres of orchards and earned millions of dors a year alone. Her husband was a


    very hard-working and capable man who worked as a warehouse manager in Albert’spany. He


    made hundreds of thousands per year. Yet, even with this much money, their family still asked for


    donations from their friends and rtives.


    So, when Lydia told everyone that her son was epted into Calton University, no one said a thing


    because they knew that she was trying to cheat them of their money. Seeing that no one was


    congratting their family, Lydia took it as them being jealous rather than feeling embarrassed for


    herself.

    She nced around the ce, and her gaze fell upon the fourth daughter-inw of the Jewell family.


    “ine! How did Hayden do in his second exam?”


    ine did not want to converse with Lydia, so she ndly said, “I didn’t ask.”


    “How could you not ask about your son’s results? Examinations are important. Hayden did poorly in


    last year’s exam. He must have had some improvement this year-round, right? I mean, even my baby,


    Dustin, had gone for an interview. Shouldn’t Hayden be getting interviews right now too? Or… Did he


    not do well in his exams again, and he didn’t tell you guys?”


    An ugly expression appeared on ine’s face. ‘Is this what a decent human being should say? It’s fine


    if you want to boast about your child, but there’s no need to bring others down!’ she thought.


    ine tried to suppress her anger. When she saw Ste, she suddenly knew what to say.” Hayden has


    his own opinions, unlike Dustin, who needs you to do everything for him.” She


    then paused for a while before she continued, “Lydia, remember when Ste got her eptance letter?


    Rainee threw such a huge banquet with more than eighty tables. She event invited a famous live band.


    Now that Dustin has been admitted into grad school, I’m expecting more than 100 tables for his


    celebration since he is the first in the Jewell family to get into grad school. I hope you’re not cooking


    another pot of radish stew to fool us this time.”


    Lydia was a little embarrassed when ine mentioned the past. “What did you say? I fooled you? I was


    just trying to be a low-key person. Look at how Ste got married right after her graduation. She and


    her mother are a joke to the Jewell family,” she said sullenly.


    Ste’s expression darkened before someone grabbed her hand. Keegan rubbed the back of her hand


    intermittently and said, “I don’t get it, Aunt Lydia. Why is it a joke? Is Ste marrying me so funny to


    you?”


    Lydia froze. She was so focused on ine that she forgot to look around before she spoke. Lydia had


    always said it’s better to marry well than to get good results. In her perception, that only applied to her


    daughter. Now that Rainee’s daughter was the one who got to marry into a well-known family, she


    started bing jealous.


    Lydia was not scared of Ste or Albert. If they were the only people there, she would have talked even


    louder just to let them hear it. However, it was different with Keegan. He was not from the Jewell family


    and did not even spare them a nce when he and Ste got married, which meant he was not going


    to give Lydia any face.
