Betsy Russell pulled Heather Scott away and shook her head at her before turning to Jared Hughes and responding indifferently, "Okay."
Then, Betsy Russell led Heather Scott away.
Seeing that Betsy didn't want to deal with Jared Hughes, Heather Scott felt relieved and said, "It's better for us to stay far away from Jared Hughes in the future so he doesn't bring bad luck to you again."
When Betsy and Heather arrived home, they saw Thad Drew standing in front of Betsy's room.
Heather glanced at Betsy and greeted Thad with a cold face before returning to her own home. If she didn't know that Annie Duclos was Thad's sister-in-law, she wouldn't have given Thad a chance to get close to Betsy.
Betsy opened the door and went inside, inviting Thad in.
She didn't want to discuss things with Thad in the hallway, worrying that someone might overhear and cause gossip another day.
Thad followed Betsy into the room, his peach blossom eyes filled with laughter.
