Rise of the returned sister (by Isla) novel Chapter 90

Chapter 90

‘David wasn’t exactly a good guy either.

Xena put on an obedient look on her face, yet inside, she was filled with a sense of grievance and complaints.

She thought to herself, ‘Sure enough, all those sweet words on ordinary days were nothing but hypocritical And when the topic involved the members of the Jenkins family, the people from the Jenkins family immediately changed their tune

Xena shot a glance at Ryan and Zion. One of them had his head lowered now, and the other kept his lips sealed in stease

Neither of them was willing to help Xena out of her current predicament.

Xena was heartbroken.

In fact, nothing else had been going smoothly for Xena lately either.

Since the ruckus at the Smith family’s banquet, the folks in the wealthy circle had been casting icy and merciless bookser Xena. Nobody bothered to give her the time of day anymore, and she was so frightened that she didn’t even dare to seep De of her own front door.

What’s worse, she was dragged into court for framing Janie. The Jenkins family had to put in an enormous amount of tien to sort the whole thing out, and they even had to shell out a huge sum of money in the process.

In the end, even the members of the Jenkins family themselves started to snub Xena and instead began making som admiring comments about Janie.

Left with no other choice, Xena had no option but to try and curry favor with all of them.

Forcing a smile, Xena said, “Mr. Moore, you surely do love joking around.”

Jackson snorted coldly and replied, “I never joke.”

Xena’s expression froze on her face.

“This Jackson! Always so harsh with his words!‘

But even in this situation, surprisingly, Ryan and Zion still showed no sign of wanting to speak up, which left Jason and Emily quite shocked.

‘Could it be that there was some sort of conflict among the siblings of the Jenkins family?”

‘You have to know that Ryan and Zion had always doted on their sister Xena!

Jason forced a smile and said, “Mr. Moore, you might have had some misunderstandings. Little Xena is the purest and kindest. Besides, we’re colleagues, and we have to get along harmoniously in the future.”

Jackson, however, said with a dismissive look, “Nonsense. It’s our Janie who’s truly pure and kind.”

Janie was left speechless.

Jackson’s words had gone a bit too far.

Jason was so choked that he didn’t know what to say in reply.

Jackson really has no idea how to read the room. He’s so annoying!”

Unable to utter a word, Jason could only give an awkward smile.

Chapter 90

No one at the scene came to Jason’s aid, not even Emily who was quite close to him.

Immediately, the atmosphere was plunged into a stifling silence.

Xena directed a look of supplication toward her two brothers, Ryan and Zion.

But Ryan, who was deep in thought with his head down, didn’t even notice Xena’s look.

Memories kept flashing through Ryan’s mind–Janie’s words, Xena’s ferocious expression and venomous remarks at that time, and the fact that his mother had been saved from the jaws of death by Janic.

He was struggling to keep his wits about him.

‘If I had handled things more thoroughly back then, five years ago, would these people not be making such a big fuss now?”

Zion wasn’t looking at her either at this moment. Likewise, he also failed to notice her imploring gaze.

Finally, David spoke up, “Let’s leave it at that for now. Let’s take a seat and start thinking about today’s arrangements.”

Janic nodded in agreement, and only then did Jackson and the others, who had been in the midst of the tense atmosphere, prepare to sit down.

Noah was quick as a flash. He swiftly moved Janie’s chair over, and then considerately put a back cushion on it. Only after that did he leave with a satisfied look on his face.

Jackson realized it belatedly.

‘Damn it, Noah! How annoying you are!’
