Chapter 5 Jason hadnt fully recovered when his mother insisted that we come home for dinner .
There was no getting out of it .
He put a lot of thought into picking out supplements and gifts , making sure they were all his moms favorites .
I wanted to tell him not to bother .
It was a waste of effort .
When we arrived , Lily was already there .
The moment we stepped inside , she rushed over and threw her arms around me .
Jason ! Youre finally back ! Then , glancing at Jason who was standing beside me in my body she giggled .
Jo , youre not jealous again , are you ? You know Im just used to hugs and kisses from living abroad .
Jason hesitated before letting out an awkward laugh , scratching the back of his neck .
We moved on to greet Jasons mother , Anne Miller .
Jason eagerly handed over the gifts he had prepared , but she barely spared them a glance .
With polite indifference , she said , I dont eat this stuff , and I certainly dont need it .
Keep it for yourself .
Jason frowned .
Mom , these are all your favorites … Annes expression hardened slightly , her tone cooling .
Im not your mother .
Youre not married to Jason yet stop overstepping .
A brief silence followed .
Jason flushed , embarrassed .
Sorry , Mrs.
Miller , that was a slip of tongue .
Anne didnt acknowledge the apology .
Instead , she linked arms with Lily , then took my hand and led me to the dining table .
Smiling , she picked up her chopsticks and placed some food on my plate .
Jasons not getting any younger .
Its time he started thinking about marriage .
I offered a polite smile .
No rush .
Career comes first .
I knew for a fact that marriage wasnt on Jasons radar anytime soon .
Annes expression stiffened .
No rush ? Im waiting for my grandkids , Then , her tone shifted .
But marriage is a big decision .
It has to be carefully considered .
The two families need to be a good match well bred , respectable , and trustworthy .
She paused , then added with deliberate emphasis , R < Someone like Lily , for example .
Shes exactly the kind of woman I approve of .
Unlike the shameless social climbers out there , especially the ones lurking around the company .

Jason , you should stay far away from those kinds of women .
She practically spat out the words well bred and respectable .
It couldnt have been more obvious who she was referring to .
114 I had come from an ordinary background .
The Millers were old money .
Jason , now in my body , didnt seem fazed .
He just kept eating .
Annes patience wore thin .
Her expression darkened .
Jason , go upstairs and grab my blood pressure meds .
I forgot to take them earlier .
車 I got up , but instead of going straight up , I lingered just behind the staircase .
She didnt need the meds .
She just wanted me out of earshot .
And sure enough , the second I was gone , the atmosphere at the table shifted .
Anne set her utensils down with a sharp clang , her gaze turning cold .
Jo , lets be clear .
A secretary like you has no place in the Miller family .
The future Mrs.
Miller can only be Lily .
Ive warned you before , but you just keep clinging to my Jason still in my body stared at her , completely stunned .
Anne had always been warm and doting toward him .
He had never seen this side of her before .
Mrs.
Miller … Did I do something wrong ? he asked cautiously , caught off guard .
He had assumed Jo must have done something to offend her .
Now he had to clean up her mess .
Anne let out a sharp , cold laugh before slamming her hand down on the table .
Your mistake ? Your very existence is a mistake .
Being born poor is a mistake .
Clinging to my son is a mistake .
Thinking you could ever be part of this family is a mistake .
Jasons face went pale .
For the first time , he had nothing to say .
Lily , sitting beside her , arched a brow and sneered .
Just because Jason has been nice to you lately , dont get cocky .
You actually think you can marry into this family ? Her expression twisted with disgust .
You must have used some dirty tricks to seduce him .
1 < G But as long as Im here , dont even dream of him ever marrying a low class gold digger like you ! Jason watched , frozen in place , as their expressions turned sharp and cruel predatory , almost .
The people who had always been so gentle and kind to him … Now it looked like they wanted to tear him apart .
