Hugh laughed. “I thought you could make some significant progress with my sister.”Donald scolded his son. “You’re the only one with bad ideas. Don’t drag Kevin to your level. Kevin is a gentleman. Your mother and I have a good eye for people.”They appreciated Kevin as soon as they saw him and genuinely wanted to turn him into their son-in-law.Unexpectedly, Old Mrs. York had a good eye too, and had already taken a fancy to their daughter without their knowledge.Ever since they found out that their daughter was the wife whom Old Mrs. York chose for Kevin, Donald and Sophia genuinely treated Kevin as their son-in-law.They also felt that Old Mrs. York was a good matchmaker.Hayden was taciturn and had a serious personality, so she should be matched with a talkative person like Kevin. That way, when it was too quiet in the future, Kevin would be able to make conversation, so the couple had things to talk about.“Dad, I’m also a gentleman, okay?”Hugh was upset.He felt that he
The whole family was trying their best to help Kevin win her over.She was only twenty-eight. Was she at the age where she absolutely had to get married?...At Daniels’s residence, several cars stopped at the entrance of the villa, not daring to honk for fear that Mrs. Daniels would hear them from inside.In the car, Jenna picked up her bag and was about to leave.“Jenna.”The man whom she hired to pretend to be Zachary and take intimate photos with her could not help but embrace her waist from behind.“Jenna, won’t you stay with me a little longer?”The man already spent time with Jenna. Although he knew that she only regarded him as a substitute, these luxury cars and bodyguards were all rented by her to build his facade.The suit he was wearing was also given to him by Jenna.Every time he dressed in a suit and tie, Jenna’s eyes would warm when she looked at him.However, he knew that she was looking at another man through him.He still did not know who that man was.T
“Why are you still standing there? Come here!” Edwin snapped.Jenna saw that there was nowhere to run, so she put on a smiling face, walked up to her father, and said, “Dad, when did you come back? Why didn’t you tell me?”Edwin did not just arrive. He came back after receiving a complaint from Zachary, but he did not go home. Instead, he followed his daughter in secret and confirmed that she was indeed with a man who looked like Zachary.After seeing the truth with his eyes, he went home that night.Edwin did not speak.Jenna looked at her mother sitting to the side, who looked like she was hesitant to speak. Amelia shot a look at her daughter, then looked at her husband. She used her eyes to tell her daughter that her husband was furious.Jenna thought of how she told the fake Zachary to send her home.Did her parents witness it?However, she did not see them standing at the door when she got out of the car and went in.In that case, what was her father angry about?“Dad.”
Edwin was furious with his daughter.He spent more than twenty years of blood, sweat, and tears raising his only daughter, wanting her to be the successor of Daniels Group. She always made him satisfied, but after she met Zachary, she started to let him down.“Edwin, what did you say Jenna did? She’s a mistress in someone else’s marriage?”Amelia had no idea about this.She also did not know that Jenna found a man to pretend to be Zachary. Jenna hid all that from her mother.After all, the man she was with was just a substitute. The person she wanted was Zachary.Nothing happened even after she sent those photos to Serenity.Jenna deemed the pictures not provoking enough, so she thought of editing the next batch of photos to be more explicit before sending them to Serenity. If Serenity still chose to believe in Zachary and remain indifferent, she would accidentally let the paparazzi get a hold of the pictures.Once the pictures fall into the hands of the paparazzi, they would d
Jenna held her cheek that was slapped and looked at her father in disbelief.Her father hit her!She was her parents’ only child and was pampered by them since she was a child. Although her father was strict with her in order to cultivate her into becoming a talent, he had never beaten her before.Now, her father slapped her because she liked a man.Jenna’s tears of grievance poured out.Amelia snapped back to her senses and immediately stood up in distress. She went to hold her daughter’s hand and said to her husband, “Can’t you just talk nicely? Why did you have to hit Jenna?”“I’m hitting you now. If that slap doesn’t knock some sense into you, then you don’t have to go back to Daniels Group anymore. I won’t hand Daniels Group to someone who will only bring disaster to the company, even if that person is my only child!“Jenna Daniels, I’ll say this again—give up. Zachary won’t deem you worthy to even look at. If you’re shameless enough to be a homewrecker, then I’ll sever our
Amelia chased after Edwin.Before Edwin got into his car, he said to his wife, “Talk to your daughter. Does she want to continue to be a homewrecker and bear the stigma for life, or does she want to maintain the status quo? Tell her to think carefully before telling me. Don’t contact me until she thinks it over and makes a decision. I’ll pretend that she’s not my daughter.”Amelia was speechless.Edwin told the driver to drive.Soon, he left his own home.Amelia went back into the house helplessly and felt her heart break when she saw her daughter crying silently on the sofa.She walked over, poked her daughter’s head, and scolded, “Jenna, how did your father raise you to be? How could you do something like this?“It’s Mr. York from Wiltspoon, right? He’s a very good man, but no matter how good he is, he already has a wife. If you pursue him and send indecent photos to his wife, then you’re destroying their marriage. You’ll be called a homewrecker.“Jenna, you’re a great girl.
“We didn’t teach you well. We didn’t instill proper morals into you and let you go astray. I blame myself too.”“I’m sorry. I’m sorry, Mom. I was wrong.”Jenna was not stupid. When her father resolutely told her to make a choice, she would definitely not choose Zachary.She could not lose everything she had now.Zachary was just a passerby in her life. No matter how much she wanted to keep him, she could not keep a passerby.Amelia sighed. “Your dad and I don’t want your apology. What we want to see is you proving yourself with your actions. Jenna, I hope you won’t let us down again. I’ll go upstairs now. You take some time to yourself and think about it.”Then, Amelia went upstairs.Jenna was left sitting on the sofa, shedding tears at times and feeling resentful at other times.Amelia understood her daughter. It would be difficult for Jenna to come around for a while. They had to give her some time to think about it. If she was still unwilling to give up on Zachary, then not
“Not yet.”“We’ll go eat together later, my treat.”Liberty smiled. “Alright.”Smiling, Jasmine walked over. “Liberty, you’re finally back. Sonny mentions you every day. Both Seren and I are tired of hearing him talk about you.”Sonny naturally said, “I just miss Mom.”Was he not allowed to talk about Mom if he missed her?Jasmine smiled and lightly pinched his face.The three of them did not chat much as the shop was still busy. When the students started their evening self-study, the area in front of the school returned to calmness.Serenity poured a cup of warm water for her sister and asked, “Has Aunt Audrey gone home?”“Yeah, Aunt Audrey asked me to go to her place for dinner. I missed Sonny, so I didn’t go.”Serenity wanted to say something but she could not hold in her yawn.Seeing Aunt Ser yawn again, Sonny said to his mom, “Every night when I fall asleep, Aunt Ser is still awake and often yawns.”Liberty said with concern, “Seren, you should take care of yourself.
