In the house, Valerie Brown was trying to calm tyrannical Mister Lucas Penty down while cursing Jemima in her heart.

'Mister Penty, don't worry. Good things come to those who wait," Shirley,Jemima's stepsister, immediately soothed.

"Yes, Mister Penty. Jemima is the favorite daughter of the Forrester. Once everything is settled, don't forget to work with us!" Valerie Brown, Jemima’s stepmother, said flatteringly.

This caused the vulgar Mister Penty to laugh.

"Hahaha! Don't you worry, as long as she is a daughter of the Forrester, I will naturally make sure you'll earn some money!

When Jemima heard her stepmother's voice, she was extremely disappointed.

The night before, she heard the conversation between her stepmother and stepsister.

They wanted to set her up and marry her to a perverted, lecherous old man. However, Jemima never expected that her family would be involved in this.

All these years, she thought that her family would still have a little love for her. It looks like she was fooled!

A teardrop fell from the corner of Jemima's eyes. She wiped it away fiercely. Her eyes were filled with despair, but it had gradually turned to coldness!

At that moment, she no longer had any hope left for her family! It was time to defend herself!

Jemima collected her emotions and pushed the door open.

"I'm back!" Inside, when the two Forrest's saw how terrible Jemima's makeup was, their faces stiffened unnaturally.

Thankfully, they had already sent Jemima's photo to Mister Penty beforehand.

Valerie reacted quickly. She pretended to be affectionate and tried to grab Jemima's hand. "Jem, where have you been? We have been waiting for you for such a long time.Why did you leave so suddenly? Come, we have an important guest. Come, sit next to Mister Penty. Let him have a good look at you!"

The lazy, fat Mister Penty lecherously gazed at Jemima's breasts. When he heard what Valerie said, he cooperated by giving up half of a single seat sofa.

He smiled slickly at Jemima . "My, Jemima, you have grown so big! Come let me have a good touch... good look!" Jemima secretly sneered as she avoided Valerie's dirty hands without any expression on her face.

"No thank you, I'm tired. I'll head up to rest." Jemima was about to head upstairs.

Valerie gave her own daughter, Shirley, a look. Shirley immediately took a cup of tea and stopped Jemima in her path. "Jemmy, you just got back. You must be thirsty, why don't you have some tea before you rest?"

Jemima stopped in her tracks and looked at the cup of so-called tea in Shirley's hand. She accepted the cup without any hesitation

. The other three let out a sigh of relief at the same time. Shirley sneered in her heart, 'Jemima is still an idiot after all!' The tea had been spiked. All Jemima needed to do was to take a sip and she would become Mister Penty's woman!

At the thought of how terrifying Mister Penty's tactics were about to be used on Jemima , Shirley was so delighted that she almost laughed out loud.

Jemima looked up and swept Shirley a cold glance.

The next second, she unexpectedly placed the cup back into Shirley's hands. "You drink it then."

The hot liquid splashed out and burned Shirley. She wailed cut miserably!

clang!

The cup was smashed to pieces. The atmosphere suddenly turned tense. "Jemima! What the hell are you doing? Is that the manners of a young lady?!" Valerie's face turned blue as he yelled at Jemima angrily.

Jemima looked at her stepmother's cold face. She no longer had any feelings left in her heart for her. It had been ten years.

No matter how hard she tried her stepmother had not once shown her any love, She was already numb to her coldness.

"I'm married. I'm no longer a young lady," Jemima said flatly while looking at her Family who was trying to set her up.

"What did you say?" The other three were baffled!

"Valerie Brown! What the hell is going on?" The lecherous Mister Penty questioned fiercely.

"Mister Penty, don't listen to Jemima's nonsense." Valerie's face was fluctuating between turning pale and blue. She immediately explained to Mister Penty in a flattering manner.

"Jemima just turned twenty years old. How could she have possibly married someone else? Don't worry."

Jemima had long predicted that even if she told them, Valerie and the others would not believe her that easily! she reached into her bag and produced the marriage certificate, smiling mockingly. "What? Don't you know what a marriage certificate looks like?"

"Uh..." They were completely in a daze. Shirley's eyes widened in shock. They thought that Jemima was only joking around. They never would have expected her to produce a real marriage certificate!

Did Jemima not always have a crush on Eric? How could she have gotten married to another man? Mister Penty was furious. He pointed at Valerie and yelled, "How dare you, Valerie Brown ! How dare you lie to me! She is a married woman and yet you still dare to say that she is a pure and chaste lady of the Forrest family?"

"No,no, no, Mister Penty! I wouldn't dare lie to you! Let me explain." Valerie was scared half to death. Her face had lost its color, She immediately bowed humbly.

Jemima swept Valerie a mocking glance and kept her marriage certificate absentmindedly. "I'm married, but Shirley is still pure and chaste. She has always been the belle of the school."

The moment Jemima said that, Mister Penty immediately sized Shirley up lecherously as he smiled lustfully. "Yes, Missus Forrest. How could I have forgotten your other daughter? Miss Shirley is pure and chaste. She would be a great match for Me."

"Ah! No!" Shirley's face instantly turned pale as she retreated backwards. Both mother and daughter panicked. They never thought that things would end up this way!

"Jemima, how could you throw Shirley under the bus?!" Valerie pointed at Jemima angrily as if Jemima was not also a member of the Forrest family but her archnemesis.

Jemima snickered in her heart. They were both her daughters yet she could be thrown under the bus, but not Shirley.

"Why? Mom, why do you think that Shirley marrying Mister Penty is her being thrown under the bus?" Jemima blinked and asked innocently.

Mister Penty was infuriated! He slapped Valerie fiercely on the spot! "Valerie ! So, you feel aggrieved for marrying your daughter to me? If Shirley doesn't marry me today, you can say goodbye to your company!"

"'Mister Penty..." Valerie's face was swollen. She was so frightened he was stammering.
