Three days later, Jasmine Hughes fell seriously ill, claiming to have been shocked.
The news that Mrs. Harris had been angered to death by her somehow got out. Whenever Mr. and Mrs. Hughes went out, the neighbors would point fingers at them. For several days, the Hughes family barely dared to step outside.
After Jasmine recovered from her illness, she received a divorce agreement from James Harris. This time, James was determined to divorce her. If the Dou family kept her after she had angered the old lady to death, who knows what rumors would spread outside.
Mrs. Harris was heartbroken over the hundreds of thousands spent on her daughter-in-law, but there was nothing else she could do and could only let James initiate the divorce.
