Chapter 274 I Hate Them (Part Three)
It was incredible that Jean could actually talk with Jackson''s son in such a polite and nice manner. ''How
can this happen?'' she thought. Although earlier Joe had been mean to her, she still wanted to have
lunch with him.
"Grab lunch with you? Why would I do that?" asked Joe coldly, just like his father always did.
"Because I''m you Aunt, your mother''s sister. By the way, I''m Jean."
"Jean?" Joe thought that he might have heard the name a long time ago. Had his mother ever
mentioned it to him before? Perhaps not, but he thought that if Jean was telling the truth, then she was
his aunt.
Joe pondered for a few moments, and considered that it was unlikely for her to harm him. If that was
the case, then having lunch with her might rify some things that his parents had tried to keep hidden
away from him.
"Wait here, I''m going to speak with my ss teacher and ask for a leave, " said Joe indifferently.
"Alright, I''ll wait. That''s my car, " said Jean, while pointing at a white sports car not far away from the
ce she was standing.
"Go to your car and wait for me inside. I''m in no mood to hear my pals talking about you and me
together, " said Joe.
"As you wish, " answered Jean.
Ten minutester, Joe came out of the school building carrying his backpack. He handed the leave
application to the porter and then walked out through the school gate.
As soon as he got inside Jean''s car, Joe asked, "What would you like to eat?"
"Do you know a good restaurant?" asked Jean amiably.
"Sichuan cuisine is fine with me, " answered Joe earnestly.
"Then let''s go to a Sichuan restaurant nearby, " replied Jean. She then started the car''s engine and
drove away.
Sitting at the Sichuan restaurant, Jean couldn''t enjoy the food on the table, and most of the time she
just watched the boy eating. Honestly speaking, she actually liked Joe, and the way that he ate his food
and his gestures made her feel warm deep down in her heart. Was it because of the maternal instinct?
Maybe it was.
Joe didn''t pay too much attention to the woman sitting opposite to him, and he just lowered his head
and gulped down the food in front of him. Jean''s expression and warm nces meant nothing to him.
Joe soon had food stains all around his mouth, and when Jean saw this, she hastily grabbed some
tissues and wiped them off. "Take your time, Joe, " patiently said Jean.
Joe didn''t refuse Jean''s mysterious kindness, and after she finished wiping the stains off of his mouth,
he raised his head, thanked her, and quietly gazed at her.
Jean gave him a big smile, and said, "You''re wee."
Joe then fell silent again, and he lowered his head and continued to eat.
"Joe, are you five years old already?" asked Jean. If she would have had a child, it would have been
around Joe''s age. Joe would have been her child''s cousin.
"Yes, " answered Joe.
"Were you happy when you stayed overseas?" asked Jean expectantly and carefully. She really cared

about everything that concerned Joe, and if she hadn''t caused Emily''s death because of her
selfishness, Cherry wouldn''t have left Jackson in the first ce. Joe would have lived in the city, and
would have had aplete childhood, and if she had behaved herself properly, perhaps she would
have even been in a better position than she was at the current moment.
Joe suddenly dropped his chopsticks, and glowered at Jean. "What do you want?" asked Joe,
apparently furious.
"Nothing. It was just some casual talk, " quickly answered Jean.
"Why can''t you go to my Mommy and talk to her? Why do you keep visiting me? That day I saw you in
the elevator; don''t tell me it was a coincidence, " said Joe sternly. He was a very smart kid, who could
easily guess things right.
Jean was a bit taken aback by Joe''s cleverness, and thought that it was incredible that he turned out to
be so brilliant and smart.
"Of course it wasn''t a coincidence. I met you there because I hate your mother, " answered Jean, while
a hideous expression suddenly appeared on her face.
"Where does your hatrede from? As far as I''m concerned, my Mommy has done nothing wrong to
you." Actually, Joe had more questions about his Mommy and Jean that he thought. Deep down inside
he knew that his mother was very kind, and that she wasn''t capable of hurting a fly, let alone her own
sister."
"Yes, you''re right. Your Mommy has always been kind to me, but..." Jean stopped, thought for a
moment, and then added, "Your Mommy was born in the Shen Family, which was a mistake from the
start. She had to pay the price, and her whole life is doomed, " answered Jean resentfully.
Jean thought of what had happened to her, and her hatred for Cherry had never disappeared for a
moment. Why had Cherry been so praised and apuded all the time? Why had Cherry always made
her jealous? Why hadn''t she been able to have any of those wonderful things in her life?
"My Mommy was born in Shen Family, it''s true, and that is a fixed fact. How dare you call it a mistake
and make her pay the price?" Joe tried to defend his Mommy, and although he was still a child, he
actually understood things. Human beings can''t choose their parents or their families, as much as he
couldn''t choose the father whom he had never seen in the earlier days of his childhood. Even so, he
had neverined to his Mommy about this, because he knew that she loved him very much.
"You.., " started Jean, but her words quickly trailed off. He was a badass kid, and she suddenly didn''t
know how to rebuke him anymore.
Jean thought for a few moments before she spoke again, "I hate your father, as well as your mother.
He''s the cause for all of my pain and misery."
She could never forget Jackson''s revenge on her and that horrible ce which terrified even the most
bravest of men or women to death. That ce had made her forever lose everything that she had
cherished.
