“It would be a shame for Ms. Stone if Mr. York plays for the other team.”
Jasmine added regrettably, “That would be a disappointing result now that someone had the prowess to woo Mr. York. Speaking of which, do you think the heir swings the other way?”
Serenity replied amusedly, “How would I know?”
It was only their suspicion, but of course, Mr. York’s sexual orientation would be determined should he accept and marry Ms. Stone.
Nevertheless, what did it have to do with Serenity?
The hottest gossip, even if it was about Mr. York, was not worthy of Serenity’s time. Jasmine, however, loved getting into it. Every so often, Jasmine would babble about local big stories within Serenity’s earshot.
Refusing to engage in gossip, Serenity took out her tools to get into her crafting.
Jasmine rambled on under her breath while checking out the trending news. She was reading an article when her expression slowly turned grave. Not too long later, she slammed hard on the cash register.
The loud smack startled Serenity.
“What was that about, Jasmine? You scared me.”
“D*mn it! This is outrageous!”
Seething with rage, Jasmine got up and passed her phone to Serenity. Jasmine uttered furiously, “Seren, is this article about you and Liberty? Your names and a photo are on the news. The two girls in the photo look like you and Liberty.
“It’s written that all you and your sister only ever cared about are yourselves without regard for your family, and that you turn your back to your sick grandmother. Apparently, you never visited your family for over ten years, and now the old lady is sick because she misses her granddaughters dearly.”
Serenity got a bad feeling about it.
She swiftly took the phone from Jasmine and read the trending story. A photograph of a younger version of herself and her sister was also tweeted.
