GET IT

Chapter 201

James let out a long sigh. “It was wrong of her to slap Vivian without cause. But your words were far too harsh. Enough. Things have already gotten out of hand. Talking about it now will not help anything.”

With that, James walked away

Vivian sat tearfully beside Mrs. Jasper Sr., her voice salt and pitiful “Grandma, this is all my fault. I have always known that Charlotte does not like me, 1 do not mind getting slapped, but seeing you so upset over it really worries me. I do not want you to get sick because of me. Please calm down.”

Mrs. Jasper St. looked at her with deep affection. She reached out and gently stroked Vivian’s cheele “Good girl. You have been wronged. Does it still

Seeing the red swelling on Vivian’s face, Mrs. Jasper Sr. felt a fresh wave of heartache. She quickly instructed the servants to bring an ice pack for Vivian’s face.
