After a moment of silence, she suddenly let out a laugh. “So, you went to all this trouble to kidnap me from the Ginger family just to make me apologize to your precious little illegitimate daughter?”
Her laughter grew louder, as if she hat just heard the most ridiculous joke in the world.
Julia bit her lip, her eyes narrowing slightly in displeasure at Jean’s reaction.
In fact, when she first saw Jean unconscious in this place, she had been completely shocked. She had never known that Jean was her father’s daughter from that family.
In that family, all the sons were all wildly famous. Yet the youngest daughter, Jean, had always been like a ghost, without presence or weight.
It was difficult to reconcile that ghostly little girl from the Ginger family with the sharp–eyed Jean before
her now.
And now that she knew and after she understood this complex and frankly awkward connection between them, it felt like something was stuck in her chest, suffocating her.
Her resentment toward Jean only grew stronger.
To think that the girl she had secretly envied so many times was her. She wished Jean would just drop dead
here and now.
Still, her father had gone through so much trouble to bring Jean here for her. That alone offered a bit of solace.
At least in Matheo’s heart, she mattered more than Jean. At least she had more of his love.
It was something. A small piece of luck in this unfortunate situation.
“What the hell are you laughing at?” Matheo snapped, his irritation bubbling over at Jean’s wild laughter. A flame of rage surged in his chest. “I didn’t bring you here to laugh. Apologize now!”
Jean’s laughter abruptly stopped. She tilted her head slightly, a mocking glint in her eyes. “I’m laughing because you’re pathetic.”
Her voice turned icy, the look in her eyes sharp enough to cut. “Why don’t you go pick a fight with my mom or my brothers? What’s wrong? Too scared? You come at me because I’m the weakest one you can bully. Just to puff yourself up in front of your illegitimate daughter? You’re even more useless than I thought.”
“You…” Matheo’s face flushed a deep red with fury, but he had no retort.
She was right. He did not dare go up against Sienna or those sons of hers. Jean was the only one he could get away with targeting.
Now that she had called him out in one clean blow, he clenched his fists in frustration.
“Oh? Did I hit a nerve? Let me keep going.” Jean smirked, clearly enjoying the reaction. “You’re trash. Just a decorative parasite on my mother’s name. You’re not even worthy of licking my brother’s shoes!”
She spat the words out with vicious glee. “Apologize? You wish!”

Chapter 311 Laughing at You, Pathetic!
Jean could afford to be this brash because she knew that Matheo did not dare kill her.

He had used covert means to smuggle her out of the Ginger mansion. The servants probably thought he was just taking his daughter out for a casual meal, so they had not noticed anything unusual.
But no matter how it happened, the fact was that she had been taken by Matheo.
If something bad happened to her while in his custody, Sienna and her brothers would not let it slide. They were not stupid.
And Matheo already had enough skeletons in his closet. If this turned into a full reckoning, he would be the one who lost everything.
So Jean gambled that he would not dare lay a finger on her. He just wanted her to apologize to Julia.
“Jean!” Mathco finally exploded. Anyone would be enraged after being insulted like that and having their ugliest truths thrown in their face. Matheo was no exception.
What infuriated him even more was that this girl had seen right through him.
She knew he would not hurt her.
His jaw clenched. His voice came out like a bark of frustration. “Shut the hell up!”
The next second, Matheo stormed toward the bed in a flash, grabbed Jean by the arm, and yanked her off it.
