Cupid's Arrow Hit On Me novel (Serenity and Zachary) novel Chapter 181

With Shawn gone, Jasmine expressed her concern. “Seren, did your sister have another argument with your brother-in-law?”

While caressing her nephew’s head, Serenity replied, “Hank is still at his parents’ home. He told my sister to return his portion of the living expenses because he wasn’t eating at home. He wants his cut back.”

Jasmine responded after a brief pause, “He’s not much of a keeper, isn’t he?”

Serenity fell silent for a moment before answering, “My sister needs to find stability before she can think about the future.”

Jasmine was without a word.

“How was Mrs. Dawson’s party? Did you have chemistry with her son?”

“My head is still aching.”

Serenity blinked her eyes and burst out laughing. “Don’t tell me you faked being drunk at the party?”

It was all about poise and grace within the higher society.

Jasmine could forget marrying up if she threw a drunken fit at Mrs. Dawson’s birthday party.

“Well, I didn’t get drunk or go crazy, but I pretended to be intoxicated after consuming lots of wine. I lay on the floor and pretended to sleep. My aunt frantically dragged me out of there. I think my aunt won’t ever take me to any events now.”

Jasmine went all out to get her elders off her back about marrying a rich and powerful guy.

Although the wives of Wiltspoon’s finest did not attend Mrs. Dawson’s birthday party, those of the rich social class were there. Jasmine’s fake drunkenness and sleep-on-the-floor stunt was a complete faux pas.

In a circle where gossip spread like wildfire, it did not take long for the whole community to find out.

These wives, who were hung up about status, looked down on Jasmine. There went Mrs. Lowe and Mrs. Sox’s plans to marry Jasmine up.

The Soxes were locals of Wiltspoon and made their money during the property boom. Since Jasmine’s parents took over the family business, their assets had doubled, if not tripled.
