Obviously, Jessica didn''t treat Nina as family though she was John''s wife.


    Since she didn''t show Nina any respect, Nina wouldn''t treat her respectfully, either.


    "Ms. Shi." Nina was the perfect picture of calm, and her gentle smile held neither discontent nor provocation.


    All of the people present were stunned when Nina called Jessica Ms. Shi.


    It was not a good omen.


    Expectant eyes were focused on Sam and John, who were both key yers in this scenario.


    One woman was Sam''s daughter-inw, while the other was his favorite daughter.


    One was John''s wife, and the other was his sister.


    "Nina, your sister-inw is spoiled, and it''s all my fault for spoiling her. Forget about it. Just call her Jessica." Sam smiled and tried to mediate the dispute. Jessica opened her mouth to speak, but he quelled her with a stern re.


    Sam knew that Nina was wronged, but he had only one daughter. He could only put the me on himself. He hoped that, for his sake, the two of them would not be too stiff with each other.


    Nina didn''t say anything. It was human nature for a father to love his daughter.


    st—Nina.


    But no, he was absolutely not afraid of Jessica. He mmed his hand on the table and tried to rify the matter. "I''m not in a rtionship with Aunt Nina. That gossip is nonsense. Aunt Jessica, how could you believe such rumors?"


    His aunt was making trouble for him!


    How could she be so thoughtless? Did she automatically take other people''s words as the truth?


    John''s face gradually darkened. When James saw his uncle''s expression, a shiver crept down his spine, and his knees started to tremble.


    Ang''s face turned cold. She reached out to grab her son''s hand and said in a sarcastic tone, "James, how could you talk to your aunt like that? She is your elder, so don''t offend her. Although your aunt is quite unreasonable, you can''t argue with her."


    It sounded like she was ming her son, but she was in fact criticizing Jessica.


    She knew what kind of person her son was. Although he liked ying, he would never mess around with women. If anyone could confirm whether James had a girlfriend, she would be that person.


    Anybody who dared nder her son did not deserve her respect.
