Chapter 217
Shermaine looked up. “Who’s joking?” She didn’t have time to waste on kylle’s nonsense.
The smile on Kylie’s face faltered slightly, though she still carried herself like a princess, her back ramrod straight. “Are you upset with me, Shermaine?! Kylie put on an air of innocence. “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to question you,”

“It’s fine, Shermaine said smoothly. “I’m always generous when dealing with people who don’t matter.”
Kylie’s smile grew strained. She quickly turned to Clyde. “If you need a recommendation letter, just let me know. Here’s my card.” She pulled a business card from her purse with her email and international phone number printed on it.
Andrew thought the card might be useful and tried to signal Clyde to take it. But for once, Clyde actually made a smart move.
Clyde politely declined. “Thanks for the offer, Kylie, but I’ve already decided. I’m going to repeat my senior year and apply to universities here in Republic of Wallington.”
Andrew couldn’t help thinking, ‘And she says she wasn’t questioning Shermaine? She clearly was, then acted all self–righteous about denying it.”
Andrew’s face was a mess of frustration. ‘Didn’t Clyde used to hate Shermaine? Now he’s hanging on her every word. If he blows this chance, Kylie won’t give hint the time of day later.’
Kylie shrugged and gracefully tucked her business card back into her purse. “Best of luck with your future.”
“Thanks.”
Fortunately, the York family didn’t seem to pay them much attention. Joshua was completely focused on Shermaine, constantly adding food to her plate. “You said you were hungry. Eat up.”
“I don’t eat bell peppers.”
Joshua immediately transferred the peppers to his own bowl. They’d lived together and shared plenty of meals, but peppers had never been on the menu. He hadn’t known.
“What else don’t you eat?”
“Onions.”
“Me neither.”
Sure, onions smelled great, but the taste was way too strong. Neither Shermaine nor Joshua could stand them. Having one bite and they’d taste nothing but onions for the rest of the day, like their whole digestive system had been hijacked by that single flavor.
Joshua knew exactly what Shermaine liked to eat. She loved tomatoes, and when it came to fruit, cherries were her favorite.
Sarah’s face twisted with displeasure. “You Jeans really know how to undermine people. Now we look like we’re sticking our noses where they don’t
belong.”
But nobody paid her any attention.
Owen couldn’t be bothered to acknowledge Sarah’s presence. The fact that he hadn’t thrown her out already was generous enough.
‘She has the nerve to look down on Shermaine?‘ he thought. ‘Where does Sarah get off acting like that? Once this party’s over, I’m shipping her back
overseas.
‘I’m sick of her parading around here like she owns the place. And Kylie–acting all high and mighty around us. Where the hell does her sense of superiority come from?‘

Andrew kept his mouth shut and lowered his head awkwardly. He knew he’d pleked the worst possible moment to bring up that
Grandma, I’m sure Shermalne will have no problem getting recommendation letters from prestigious schools to help Chyde get into an by Dann university; Kylie said.
Janice had never liked Sarah, not even when they were younger. Back then, she’d found Sarah loud and unreasonable, acting like the whole world revolved around her After Sarah’s affair, Janice’s opinion had only gotten worse the woman was simply trash.
Sarah’s ex–husband had treated her like a queen, catering to her every whim, worshipping the ground she walked on. And what he had gotten in returni was betrayal.
Janice let out a dismissive laugh. “Of course she will. Sheary spent years abroad. She’s close friends with Trance and that famous artist Oliver. Her senior from school graduated from Sterling University with top honors. Getting a recommendation letter from a prestigious school? Please, that’s child’s play.
