Jason smirked at the clueless girl. How dare you lecture me just now?
A sly smile curved on his lips as he imagined Helen apologizing profusely to him. Mr. Goldstein, I'm so sorry. I didn't know who you were back there. Please forgive me.
But Jason's wish did not come through. Although Helen already found out who he was, she did not back down. She saw right through Jason and decided to just play his game, so she went up to Fabian instead.
"Fabian, did I do anything wrong just now? Even Hannah is taking his side, but I really don't see why Jason was angry...” she entreated softly.
What is going on?
Jason scratched his head, trying to keep up with what was happening. You'd better not take her side, Fabian. I will not live in humiliation because of this impudent girl. Huh, I need to do something.
He went over to Hannah and put up a pitiful face.
"Hannah, you've got to be on my side..."
Before Jason could speak any further, Fabian had already interjected him. "You can just call Winson however you like. He's your brother, and I don't think Jason will really mind."
Fabian! How could you do this to me? I've always stood by you all this time. You can't just betray me because of a girl you just met!
Life is so unfair! Life is good for this girl just because she has a beautiful sister.
Jason knew all was gone. Now that Fabian had spoken, there was nothing he could do anymore. He knew if he continued making a fuss, he would be sent back to the Goldstein family.
"Thanks, Fabian. You're the best!" Helen said with a wide smile on her face.
Her brows curved in triumph as she shot Jason a smug smile. "Even Fabian thinks there's no reason for you to be angry with me," she whispered at Jason as she back walked toward Winson.
