Chapter 243
"I don't need you to worry about my education!" Jasmine shouted, her eyebrows raised and her body trembling with anger.
She only had a middle school education and dropped out not because her family couldn't afford the tuition, but because she started dating, had sex with a troublemaker from outside school, became pregnant, and had an abortion. This led to her expulsion.
"Okay, forget about education. You said you have the ability," Noah looked at Jasmine.
"You tell me, what abilities do you have?"
"I can cook, I'm particularly good at stir-frying." Jasmine said with some guilt.
"Good at stir-frying?" Noah sneered, "Then why would a rich man with a house look for someone like you? If he wants to eat delicious food, he might as well hire a chef. I bet even the intelligence of the children you have with him wouldn't be able to keep up!"
"Noah, you!" Jasmine was so angry that she pointed at Noah, trembling all over, but couldn't speak.
She didn't know how to argue.
"Hmph, Noah, I won't argue with you!" Jasmine huffed, "You, a freeloader who lives off others, what right do you have to mock me? If it weren't for the support of Lisa, do you think you could live in a villa? Don't you think that by living in a villa, you're a rich person? You're still a useless person, what right do you have to criticize and judge me?"
"I tell you, Daniel has agreed. Starting today, I am living in this villa. Now that I live here, I advise you to speak to me more politely, otherwise I will tell Daniel to kick you out!"
After saying that, Jasmine turned around and left.
Noah furrowed his brows and suddenly wrinkled them. Daniel was going too far. Without his permission, he allowed someone to live here so casually.
...
In the evening, Lisa finished work.
"Wow, Lisa, it's been years and you've become so beautiful!"
Seeing Lisa, Jasmine's eyes lit up and she walked up to greet her.
"You are..."
There was hesitation in Lisa's big eyes.
This person in front of her was very unfamiliar.
"Husband, who is she?" Lisa asked Noah.
"Daniel said she's a relative."
Noah said lightly as he prepared dinner.
"Lisa, it's only been a few years since we last saw each other and you don't recognize me anymore! I'm Jasmine! Well, now I'm a boss, people tend to forget."
Jasmine pouted, feeling a bit angry.
And Lisa had changed a lot, like a female star on TV, she was very beautiful and had a great temperament, which made Jasmine a little jealous.
"You're Jasmine?"
Lisa finally remembered. After going to college, she and Jasmine had hardly been in contact.
She only occasionally heard that this person from their hometown had dropped out of school and started working in the county town.
"You finally remember me!" Jasmine sighed in relief.
"Jasmine, why did you come here?" Lisa curiously asked.
"I came to work in Oceanbridge City..."
Jasmine briefly explained the situation.
Upon hearing that Jasmine would be staying here, Lisa's eyebrows furrowed slightly, though she didn't show any trace of it.
It wasn't that Lisa was stingy, but rather, she was not used to having someone suddenly move in.
"What's wrong, Lisa? Do you not welcome me staying here?" Jasmine caught the change in Lisa's expression and immediately spoke.
"This villa, I've heard from relatives, was provided to you by your company, not your own. What's wrong with having someone stay for a while?"
"Lisa, you and Jasmine used to play together as children! Now that she's come to work in Oceanbridge City, if she can lend a hand, then let her stay here," Daniel also spoke up.
"Okay!" Lisa forced a smile.
"Well, let's sit down and have dinner!" Daniel called out, and Chloe had already prepared the food and brought it to the table.
"Hmm?"
Just as they sat down, both George and Jasmine furrowed their brows.
Because they saw Chloe also sitting at the table.
"Daniel, what is the meaning of this?"
George's face turned dark as he put his chopsticks down with a "snap."
"Why did you let the nanny sit at the table for the meal? Nannies are lowly people. You let me sit at the same table as a lowly person. I can't stand it! I won't eat this meal!"
"That's right!"
Jasmine also expressed her dissatisfaction. "There's no reason for the nanny to sit at the same table for a meal. Daniel, ask her to leave, otherwise, I won't eat either."
Upon hearing these words, Chloe's face immediately became uneasy, and she tried to get up and leave.
"George, Jasmine, it's our family's rule for the nanny to join us for meals. Please bear with it," Lisa placed her hand on Chloe's shoulder, signaling her not to leave, and then smiled and spoke.
"Rules? Rules can be changed, you know!"
George said, "Daniel, this is your house, and you have the highest seniority. Shouldn't it be up to you to decide?!"
"Of course, it's up to me!"
Daniel was taken aback for a moment and somewhat apprehensive.
He knew very well that in terms of family status, he had already been suppressed by Noah.
On small matters, he could still have a say, such as asking Noah to pick someone up.
But on major matters, Noah had absolute control and decision-making power.
But with relatives present, it would be embarrassing to tell the truth.
"Now that you can make the decision, then change this rule now and ask the nanny to leave the table," George coldly glanced at Chloe.
"How can this lowly person sit at the same table with me?"
"I think we should also ask Noah to leave the table and eat on the side."
Jasmine also spoke up, casting a sidelong glance at Noah. "This guy is only able to live in a villa because of Lisa's influence. Look at how arrogant he is. He even dares to lecture me. He should take a good look at himself!"
"This lazy and useless bum, who just waits for a free meal, has the audacity to sit at the same table as me?!" Hearing this, Daniel's eyes flashed and he chuckled, "Noah doesn't need to be kicked off, after all, he is Lisa's husband and can sit at the table with us."
