Chapter 67 A Dinner With A Trap (1/2)

When Jean couldn't run anymore, she stopped and found a place to rest. She withdrew her phone from her bag to see who had been calling her. It was Shirley.

Shirley Wen! Jean was upset when she thought about her half-sister. If it hadn't been for the Weibo post Shirley had made, Jean would not have been humiliated the way she had been.

Jean had severed relations with the Wen family, so why was Shirley calling her?

She had planned not to answer Shirley's call. But then Jean thought she was being unfair to herself if she didn't confront Shirley about the grievances she had suffered.
