Married at First Sight

Chapter 181

With Shawn gone, Jasmine expressed her concern. “Seren, did your sister have another argument with your brother–in–law?”

While caressing her nephew’s head, Serenity replied, “Hank is still at his parents‘ home He told my sister to return his portion of the living expenses because he wasn’t eating at home He wants his cut back.”

Jasmine responded after a brief pause, “He’s not much of a keeper, isn’t he?”

Serenity fell silent for a moment before answering, “My sister needs to find stability before she can think about the future.”

Jasmine was without a word.

“How was Mrs. Dawson’s party? Did you have chemistry with her son?”

“My head is still aching.”

Serenity blinked her eyes and burst out laughing. “Don’t tell me you faked being drunk at the party?”

It was all about poise and grace within the higher society.

Jasmine could forget marrying

“Well, I didn’t get drunk or go crazy, but I pretended to be intoxicated after consuming lots of wine. I lay on the floor and pretended to sleep. My aunt frantically dragged me out of there. I think my aunt won’t ever take me to any events now!

Jasmine went all out to get her elders off her back about marrying a rich and powerful guy

Although the wives of Wiltspoon’s finest did not attend Mrs. Dawson’s birthday party, those of the rich social class were there. Jasmine’s fake drunkenness and sleep–on the floor stunt was a complete faux pas.

These wives, who were hung up about status, looked down on Jasmine. There went Mrs. Lowe and Mrs. Sox’s plans to marry Jasmine up.

The Soxes were locals of Wiltspoon and made their money during the property boom. Since Jasmine’s parents took over the family business, their assets had doubled, if not tripled.

Nevertheless, in the eyes of the rich and powerful, the Soxes were nouveau riches who only struck a gold mine by luck due to the property boom.

Mrs. Lowe was able to marry into the Lowes due to her prowess and determination to make it through. She also bore a son, which secured her position as the woman of the house. However, not every woman in the Sox family could be as lucky as Mrs. Lowe.

Judging by Mr. Lowe’s treatment toward Mrs. Lowe, Mrs. Lowe sure wore the pants in the marriage.

Serenity said in disbelief, “You sure risked it all.”

“Desperate times call for desperate measures.”

It was never Jasmine’s intention to marry someone rich and powerful. Instead of looking for love, she was waiting for love to come to her. Her family did not need to rush her into marriage as she would

marry when Mr. Right came along.

She could go on hundreds of dates but would not find chemistry with anyone if the time had

not come.

“I think my mom and aunt will get off my back for a while.”

“Your aunt probably wants to dissociate herself from you and pretend she doesn’t know you,” Serenity uttered with a grin.

Flashing back to when silence befell the room, and all eyes were on Jasmine when she pretended to be drunk and lay on the ground. Her aunt frantically picked her up and dragged her out of the scene.

Jasmine stole a glance at her aunt’s face.

Her face bore so many emotions.

She burst out laughing.

“Hahaha!”

his aunt and Jasmine were giggling.

Sonny joined in on the laughter

This made the girls laugh even harder.

Guffaws filled the air.
