"The daughters of the Carter Family have the right to be proud." Old Sir Carter was furious. "What I despise about Jillian Carter is that she was dealt a good hand but played it into a disastrous ss. She’s incompetent, but her temper is big. She’s malicious, yet lacks skill. She’s the type of person who is both evil and stupid. If she were just evil, but smart enough, that might be passable. But the problem is—she’s so stupid it’s infuriating."
Granny Carter chid in, "She’s almost completely destroyed the Carter Family’s reputation."
Old Sir Carter continued, "To save Jillian Carter’s dignity, your dad didn’t explicitly tell you the reason for his anger."
"What is it?" Jas Carter was genuinely unaware there was more to the story. He assud his father and mother shared the sa disappointnt in Jillian’s selfishness and willfulness.
"It seems you really don’t know the reason why she targeted Jane Sampson, the actor." Granny Carter let out a mocking laugh. "Jane Sampson’s husband saved her life a few years ago, and your sister fell for this hero who saved her life. The reason she’s targeting Jane Sampson is nothing more than her wanting to steal the man from Jane Sampson’s hands!"
"The man saved her life, and yet she wants to tear apart his family. She shalessly wants to be the third party ruining a marriage—and worse, she aims to disgrace our Carter Family. This is the real reason your father can no longer tolerate her recklessness in Capital Province," Granny Carter said. "Her lifesaver beca soone she wanted desperately to repay by using her own body, any ans necessary."
Jas Carter felt his head roaring, as if sothing in his brain had instantly collapsed.
"How could this be?" Jas Carter was utterly shocked.
Jillian Carter knew Jane Sampson had a husband, she knew Jane Sampson’s husband was the defender, and she even knew Jane Sampson and her husband had a strong relationship. How could she still have these thoughts?
"Exactly—how could a daughter of the Carter Family be so shaless?" Grandpa Carter sneered. "If she isn’t properly disciplined, she won’t even realize what a grave mistake she’s made!"
"Even now, she still throws tantrums every ti she sees Jane Sampson on the TV," Granny Carter stated bluntly. "Until the day she truly understands her actions, leaving is out of the question."
Jas Carter found that none of the words he had prepared to persuade them could be spoken.
If it were rely about past events, or if his grandparents had so bias against his sister due to him, then as the person involved, he could still try to diate and bring Jillian back ho.
But if what his grandparents claid was true—if Jillian Carter’s actions against Jane Sampson were all because she wanted to steal Jane Sampson’s husband—then Jas Carter couldn’t find any reason to bring Jillian back ho.
Leaving morality aside, just considering the fact that Jane Sampson was his good friend, Jas could never bear to see her marriage wrecked, let alone accept that the perpetrator was his own sister.
Jillian Carter’s intentions left Jas Carter feeling so ashad that he couldn’t even face Jane Sampson.
Thinking about Jane Sampson’s attitude toward Jillian Carter, Jas Carter wondered if Jane might already be aware of Jillian’s thoughts.
"When I call Jillian Carter stupid, it’s not because of prejudice," Grandpa Carter said coldly. "Even if she succeeds—if she destroys a marriage, if Jane Sampson ultimately gives up and lets herself go—they’d still gain nothing good out of it. Moreover, even if she manages to succeed, all it proves is that she stole a man who’s no better than trash from another woman. A man who could be snatched away by her doesn’t deserve to be called the son-in-law of the Carter Family."
