Chapter 77 Good-for-nothing
Although Jocelyn thought about it carefully, she had no clue. After all, her grandfather had passed away. But it was OK to give up the 20% of the shares he had left to her. Otherwise, her father would covet it all the time.
"I see."
After she handed the will to Mr. Owen, he took out a photocopy and said, "Ms. Murray, if you have no objection, please sign your name on it for confirmation."
Jocelyn signed her name without hesitation.
Seeing this, Leonard, Natalia, and Glenna breathed a sigh of relief. Since Jocelyn had given up the property of the Murray family, they would not worry about her snatching their money any longer.
After Mr. Owen put away the documents and left the Murray family, Jocelyn stood up and said, "Since we are done, can I go now?"
Natalia said with unprecedented enthusiasm, "What's the rush? We're family. Since you came back, let's have a meal together!"
They had just deprived her of her shares. How could she have the nerve to say they were family?
"No, I don't have time!" Jocelyn refused
When she was about to leave, Leonard suddenly said, "Wait! You've ruined your reputation. Everyone in the entertainment industry is scolding you! Give up making a comeback! You should get married instead of showing off outside. If you had listened to me, you wouldn't have been
reduced to such a situation. You insisted on following in your mother's footsteps, so you had such a bad result now."
He had put on a loving face and tried to persuade her to "give up evil and return to good".
Jocelyn knew he just didn't want her to show her face in public like her mother! And she hated him contemptuously speaking ill of her mother the most. She had not done anything wrong! She used to be a famous dancer and perform solo dances in theaters all over the world. She had been a star with a bright future. If she had not married such a scumbag, her life would not have been ruined.
Jocelyn admired and loved Helena the most. When she had been young, Helena found she had a talent for acting. So, she had trained her, worked as her broker, and accompanied her in drama and commercial shootings.
Jocelyn started shooting commercials at the age of two. When she had grown older, she started to play guest roles in TV dramas. In this way, she gradually gained popularity. At the age of six, she starred in the Jones Girls and become a well-known child star. At that time, people had called her the daughter of the nation and loved her very much. But since Helena had passed away, no one had selfishly cared about or loved her anymore.
Jocelyn suppressed the sadness in her heart and said, "No matter what my mother did, I love her the most. I don't want to hear anyone speak ill of her. I have grown up and can make choices by myself. You don't need to worry about me. If you are idle, you should discipline your precious second daughter. Otherwise, she might bark outside like a mad dog again!"
If Glenna hadn't suddenly yelled at Siumix Charity Night Event, things wouldn't have become like this now.
"Mom, Jocelyn is doing it again!"
Glenna burst into tears, pretended to be innocent and weak, and sobbed, "She knows I like Todd and will marry him in the future. But she insists on snatching him from me."
Glenna had always been a good girl in Leonard and Natalia's eyes. Even though she had made a scene at Siumix Charity Night Event, they didn't think it was her fault. They believed it was Jocelyn that had forced her to act like that. If Jocelyn had not tried to steal Todd, Glenna would not have lost her mind.
The Murrays and the Garners were family friends. So, they wanted to be united by marriage. And Natalia hoped her daughter could marry into the Garner family, so she said, "Jocelyn, Todd, and Glenna are meant to be together. Don't get meddled in it, OK?"
"What do you mean? Does Todd like Glenna? Glenna, if you want to marry Todd, you must at least make him like you. Otherwise, marrying him would only be your wishful thinking," Jocelyn sneered with a cold look.
Glenna cried even worse, stood up, and shouted, "If you had not made trouble after returning here, Todd would not have changed his attitude toward me. He used to answer my calls. But now, he ignores me! You must have spoken ill of me to him."
Jocelyn bluntly retorted, "If he ignores you, you should talk to him. It's none of my f*cking business!"
Hearing this, Leonard pointed at her and said, "How can you talk like this? You're vulgar, rude, and uneducated!"
"Yeah, do you still want to say I am ill-bred? You should ask yourself how you have treated and educated me since I was a child. You are always partial to Glenna!"
A trace of contempt flashed across Jocelyn's eyes. She looked down on Leonard the most. He neglected her and let her drift at ordinary times. And he would take the initiative to talk to her only
when she brought shame to the Murray family. He did not deserve to be a father.
"Come on, stop arguing! Leonard, calm down." All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.
Natalia pretended to be nice and tried to smooth things over, saying, "Jocelyn, don't say I am biased. But Todd is Glenna's boyfriend. So, you should not have made trouble or tried to steal him. There are many good men. Why do you have to snatch your sister's boyfriend?"
"Boyfriend? When did Todd become Glenna's boyfriend? When did I try to steal him? If I try to date him, she will never have a chance! If you have time to talk such nonsense with me, why don't you ask the Garner family to let them get married now? I promise I will prepare a decent marriage gift for them!"
Jocelyn's words were sarcastic and harsh, so Leonard, Natalia, and Glenna all showed gloomy looks in anger. They hated to hear her talk because her words always made them furious.
Jocelyn's rebellious character was not pleasing, so Leonard thought she was a good-for-nothing who would only bring shame to him. But he had never realized it was him that had caused her to grow into such a person.
If he had loved and taken good care of his wife and daughter and been a responsible father, Helena would not have committed suicide, and Jocelyn would not have hated him.
