As they turned their heads, they met Jaquan's icy and indifferent gaze.
In that instant, Belle felt a wave of guilt wash over her.
Her sister was easily fooled, but her nephew was no fool.
Belle quickly tried to cover up her mistake with a smile. "Oh Jaquan, you know my personality. I speak before I think. Don't you know how I treat you guys?"

When his parents were still struggling, Belle used to badmouth Sarah, saying that Sarah had married the wrong person and asked for trouble.
Belle also would say things like, "The Chester family is a well-known family in Los Angeles, why marry a laborer?". Her words were always annoying.

Belle's attitude had also changed just as quickly as the times.
