"Shut up!" To no one's surprise, George did not show any respect towards Mandy at all. He scoffed at her, "I'm not talking to you so shut your trap. Stick your nose somewhere else!"

Jean followed up by saying, "Mom, just stay upstairs."

"No! He's too violent..."

"Go upstairs." Jean frowned at her.

Mandy kept shifting her stare between Jean and George. After a while, she said to Jean worriedly, "All right. Please be careful."

After Mandy climbed the stairs, Jean looked at George and said defiantly, "George, I won't agree to what you said. You can leave now."

"Are you sure about that?" He rolled his eyes. "Well, since you don't want to live with me again, I guess there's no use in keeping your secret, right?

I'm free tomorrow. I want to have a nice, long talk with Barton. I'm certain he must want to know who his real biological daughter is."

After saying that, he headed for the door. His statement instantly mad

After that, George finally went on his way. Jean slumped on the sofa and sighed heavily. Mandy, who was still crouching beside the stairs all this time, came down as soon as the coast was clear. She sat in front of her and asked, "What should we do now, Jean?"

Mandy frowned tightly. It was not easy for them to get to this point now. She sensed that Jean's wish was about to come true, but George appeared out of nowhere to mess up the situation. Both of them were really upset.

"Mom, leave me alone for a while. I'm already fed up with your questions. Don't bother me anymore." Jean frowned.

"Jean, I'm really worried about you," Mandy mumbled awkwardly.

Jean sighed. "Anyway, I've got a month to think my way out of this mess."

"But Jean, didn't you say that he was dead?" Mandy looked at her with furrowed brows. She could not make heads or tails of what was happening.
