Chapter 338: Calm on the Outside

The issue of the marriage alliance was still far from being resolved.

He decided it was best to wait until everything was fully settled before going to see her. Otherwise, he was certain her friends would mercilessly tease him without pause.

At the Jordan Estate, the atmosphere was lively yet tense.

“Grandma, did you watch the show? Sabrina looked so vulnerable out there. She had no one willing to team up with her. It honestly broke my heart to see her like that,” Brielle said, her voice filled with sympathy.

“And that Jeremy—he’s absolutely useless! He didn’t even try to partner with Sabrina. He just stuck by Amelia the whole time.”

Brielle’s frustration boiled over, “Maybe that woman whispered something to him on purpose, just to make sure Jeremy ignored Sabrina!”

Right after the show ended, Sabrina had just walked through the door when Brielle immediately ran to their grandmother, eager to spill everything she had seen.

Brielle had watched every second of Sabrina’s screen time, memorizing every detail. It only deepened her dislike for Amelia.

Naturally, she hurried to Cora Jordan, their wise grandmother, to share her grievances.

“I’ve heard bits and pieces about it. Is that Nygard girl really as bad as you say?” Cora asked, raising a skeptical brow.

She found it hard to believe that such a pretty young woman could be truly malicious.

In her spare moments, Cora had actually watched the show herself on her phone and observed Amelia closely.

Amelia Nygard seemed not only beautiful but also composed and polite.

Especially in the field of pharmaceutical research, Amelia appeared knowledgeable and confident, often sharing her own insights.

She seemed like a genuinely kind and capable young woman.

Surely, someone like that couldn’t be as terrible as Brielle claimed?

Maybe, Cora wondered, it was Jeremy who was overly attached to Amelia, not the other way around.

“Grandma, you can’t always tell by someone’s face. The worst people hide their true selves behind a mask,” Brielle insisted, clearly frustrated that her grandmother wasn’t immediately convinced.

She felt hurt that Cora seemed to doubt her judgment.

“Anyway, it’s really none of our business. We shouldn’t interfere,” Cora said firmly.

Despite her age, Cora was strong-willed and had her own well-formed opinions. She wasn’t one to be easily swayed.

Sabrina, standing nearby, nodded in agreement. “Brielle, Grandma has lived a lot longer than you. You should trust her perspective.”

Brielle pouted but didn’t argue further.

“I’m trying to defend you here! Why won’t you back me up? Boo-hoo…” she whimpered, her voice tinged with hurt.

But beneath that softness, her resentment toward Amelia was growing more evident.

“You’re so right! You always think ahead and stay so patient. You’re amazing!” Brielle exclaimed, looking up to Sabrina with admiration.

Sabrina smiled warmly and ruffled Brielle’s hair affectionately.

“What we need to do is stay calm and find dirt on Amelia. If she can put on such a show for Jeremy, she must have plenty to hide,” Sabrina said with quiet determination.

Brielle’s eyes sparkled with excitement. “So, how do we gather dirt on her? Should I start asking around?”

Sabrina paused thoughtfully before answering, “Don’t rush into anything. Amelia isn’t someone simple to deal with.”

Brielle nodded, her expression turning serious as she considered Sabrina’s words, a hint of worry flickering in her eyes.

Conclusion
