Chapter 11: Only Jeanne Acknowledged It

Holding George's hand, Jeanne stood there and eavesdropped on the women's conversation.

She was not concerned by what the ladies said.

George looked up to his mother and asked, "Are they talking about us?"

Jeanne shrugged.

She had learned to tolerate trivial matters but be strong when it came to taking revenge.

She used to care about what people said about her but she got smarter now.

"Come on, let's go get you some desserts," Jeanne said.

George had a look at the chatty women. He had a youthful look of a six-year-old but there was a hint of gloom in his eyes that did not match his age.

They walked to the table with the desserts.

Jeanne carefully picked her sweets. She had her eyes on a cream cheesecake and when she extended her hands to take it, a man came in and snatched the cake before her.

She looked at the man and the man looked at her with a smile.

"Ms. Lawrence."

Jeanne smiled politely at the man.
