The person on the phone paused for a moment and then indulged in some mischief, "Can you guess what the reason Jillian Carter gave?"
James Black was not in the mood to play a guessing game with his old friend. He pressed his lips together and kept silent.
The person on the phone waited for a few seconds without getting a response and sneered, "I knew you wouldnāt bother with me. Fine, I wonāt keep you in suspense. Iāll just tell you straight. The news I bought at a high price from their nanny. Jillian Carter confessed painfully in front of Minister Carter and Mrs. Carter about her past immaturity, ruining her elder brother James Carterās life and leading the family to be utterly disappointed in her. Previously, she thought she was their daughter, James Carterās sister, so they should pamper and love her. Now, her identity is Jane Sampson, and she ridiculously used all of Jane Sampsonās things to attack Jane herself. She felt her past life was a joke."
"In other words, Jillian Carter repented, saying sheās not worthy of Joseph Shaw, so she decided to divorce Joseph, set him free, and not burden him. She even said she would personally apologize to Jane Sampson and would no longer cause trouble for her or be a nuisance in her sight."
The person on the phone laughed, "So, rest assured, your precious daughter-in-law definitely wonāt be bullied. Jillian Carter has already awakened and wants to mend her ways."
The last sentence, especially the phrase "mend her ways," was almost spoken with a sarcastic tone.
Ha, mend her ways, using this phrase on Jillian Carter, the credibility is really low.
A person who previously attempted suicide by wrist-cutting, has suddenly reformed so thoroughly after waking up?
Jillian Carter is not Julie Sampton, sheās not the type who relies on Jane Sampsonās help to smoothly live out her life even after being pushed to the brink.
On the contrary, it was Jane Sampsonās existence that completely pushed Jillian Carter into desperation.
So, if you ask James Black whether he believes Jillian Carter has truly awakened, he absolutely doesnāt believe it.
"Letās see what Jillian Carter does next. This woman, after one suicide attempt, seems to have gained quite a bit of intelligence. Iāll keep an eye on her and her husband for you," the person reminded James Black, "If Jillian Carter is really pretending, as long as she does a good enough job, do you think Minister Carter and Mrs. Carter, who nurtured her for over 20 years, would believe sheās changed? James Black, Minister Carter and Mrs. Carter are not heartless people. Even without blood relation, they see the child they raised for over 20 years as no different from their own. Let your precious daughter-in-law be on guard against Jillian Carter, in case she smiles on the surface but uses dirty tricks behind the scenes."
James Black replied with a hum, thought for a moment, and added, "Keep an eye on Joseph Shaw for me as well."
A personās temperament can easily change after a big shock; thatās normal. But if even their intelligence changes, then thatās not normal.
James Black thought, if Jillian Carter is truly playing the strategy of advancing by retreating, then he feels that it must be Joseph Shaw teaching her from behind the scenes.
As a defender, Joseph Shaw is too skilled in the art of warfare strategy.
At the Carter family, Father Carter and Mother Carter ultimately didnāt agree to Jillian Carterās impulsive request to divorce Joseph Shaw.
Therefore, when Jillian Carter insisted on moving all her things out of the Carter family to make room for Jane Sampson, Father Carter and Mother Carter couldnāt stop her.
So, that day, Joseph Shaw drove Jillian Carter back to the Carter family, helping her take away all her belongings she had left at the Carter home before marriage, without leaving a single item behind.
