Chapter 182: Chapter 182: If You Don’t Want a Beating, Get Lost
"Annie, are you hanging out with her?" Jade Lockwood’s face was full of dissatisfaction.
To her, Annie was like her little sidekick, so how could she play with the person Jade disliked the most?
Annie rolled her eyes, too lazy to argue with Jade Lockwood.
"Isn’t it my freedom to be with whoever I want? Aren’t you, Eldest Miss Lockwood, being too nosy?" she said with disdain in her tone.
"Alrighty then, since I’m ignoring you, you even pick such low-class friends."
With arms crossed, Jade Lockwood’s missy arrogance returned, but she was oblivious that due to the mess she caused, Zane Lockwood was now buried in chaos.
Megan Underwood remembered who she was and let out a chuckle.
"Low-class? Miss Lockwood, I’m curious if your father managed to salvage the deal you botched?"
Her words implied there was more to laugh at, and Nora Northwood and the others instinctively looked over.
"Come on, tell us what happened." Yvonne Winslow chimed in with curiosity.
Eldest Miss Lockwood ruined her family’s business deal? That’s something new.
Jade Lockwood was right there, and now her face flushed red in anger. She instinctively wanted to grab Megan Underwood, but she was no match for her.
"I heard this from someone." Megan Underwood said, pinning Jade Lockwood aside as she spoke, "It’s said Miss Lockwood confidently told President Lockwood she knew the other party’s general manager, and even said he had pursued her before, so she claimed the deal would be easy. But in reality, the person didn’t know who she was."
A burst of snickers erupted around, this really seemed like something Jade Lockwood would do, especially Annie, who found it unsurprising.
"Not knowing her was one thing, but it wasn’t that embarrassing; however, Eldest Miss Lockwood couldn’t stand it. Upon hearing the person wasn’t interested in her, she made a scene in his office and was eventually thrown out."
"You despicable person, stop talking!" Jade Lockwood’s face alternated between red and white.
Her father harshly reprimanded her when she got home, telling her not to embarrass herself again.
Forced to hold back her temper, she glared discontentedly at the woman behind her.
Megan Underwood chuckled, throwing her aside and dusting off non-existent dirt from her hands, a look of disdain in her eyes.
"If you don’t want to get scolded again, then beat it."
Jade Lockwood couldn’t confront these crazy women, feeling reluctant but had to leave, although she wouldn’t let this go easily.
After she left, Nora Northwood looked at Annie curiously.
"By all accounts, Jade Lockwood is the Eldest Miss of the Lockwood Family, how could she make such a mistake?"
Just mentioning her made Annie feel a wave of contempt.
"No matter how powerful the Lockwood Family is, they can’t shield her stupidity. Mrs. Lockwood passed away early, so Mr. Lockwood has pampered her excessively, and everyone in the circle knows not to mess with the Lockwood Family."
"Being coddled for so long, she forgot who she was, and also forgot people only placated her because of her father."
"As for the Chandler Family’s son, he did pursue her back then, but it was under Jade Lockwood’s coercion."
Nora Northwood’s eyes widened in disbelief; forced to pursue? That’s really humiliating.
The others naturally thought of it too.
Annie shrugged, "Isn’t that right? The Chandler Family has grown over the years, not much different from the Lockwood Family; who would placate her anymore?"
Laughter resounded at the dining table, clearly none of them expected this straightforward move from Jade Lockwood.
