The more Jeanette struggled, the brighter his rage burned. Every part of his body was screaming to swallow this woman whole.“What’s so great about Elias, huh? What makes him better than me?” He pushed her shoulders down as he asked through gritted teeth.‘I knew it, he’s mad because of Elias.’Jeanette smirked. “Well, he definitely wouldn’t do what you’ve done to me today.”Pearls of tears clung onto the corners of her eyes from the pain. She curled the corners of her lips into a smile, “Four years ago when I lost my memories, and I didn’t remember anything, he claimed to be my husband. I believed every word he said at the time, and I even thought that I had loved him like any other wife would.”“Enough!” Damon’s face darkened.He didn’t want to listen to any of that, but Jeanette was determined to continue. “I thought that since he was so in love with him, I must’ve been deeply in love with him too. But even then, he never forced me, not even once. Let’s use that as an example.
The driver ran toward them and quickly stuffed Parker into the car.“Do you know where she lives? Drop her off first,” Damon said to the chauffeur.“I do,” the chauffeur replied. “Treble Street.”“No! I’m not going home! I won’t go home!” Parker suddenly cried. “That’s the house I bought for him. I’m not going back there!”“Sir, what should we do?” the chauffeur asked.Damon paused thoughtfully. He couldn’t possibly dump the drunken woman on the street, and her ex-boyfriend was staying in h
Jeanette, on the other hand, had finally found her basil leaves. She happily plucked them and gave them to the cook.Damon stormed out of the guest room, turned around, and walked into the room he usually slept in. Jeanette heard a deafening door slam.She, on the other hand, held her bowl of soup and slurped it all down, completely ignoring how hot it was.She actually ended up tearing up, probably because it was too hot.She had consumed a total of three bowls of soup tonight and was so bl
Jeanette might not have mentioned Parker by name, but she could not resist going to the one source who would have known all about it as soon as she reached the office.Lucia broke out a fit of giggles. “Well, well, well! A few days ago, you didn’t even give a flying damn about this at all, but now you can’t bear the torment, can you? Bwahahaha! You do care!”“Urgh, are you done? Can you just tell me already? I know your superpower is gathering every piece of rumor ever circulated in this offic
Mr. Lang quickly passed his business card. Jeanette received it—only to have her finger being brushed by the man’s finger almost as though deliberately.God, this client had one of the least likable faces she had ever seen in her life.Jeanette waited until Mr. Goldwater finished signing before scrambling away with the document in her arms.Then, on the very next day, while sending her document to the marketing department, she met the very same Mr. Lang again. He was alone in the spacious con
Meanwhile, all the way back in the old Godfrey mansion, Damon and his mother had come to an impasse. It had been three days since Sylvia took Felix away from his parents, and yet she still refused to return him to them.Jeanette might not have explicitly talked about this, but Damon knew she was beside herself, worried.She was not alone in her anxiety.“Just let Felix come home already, Mom!”“That boy is my grandson! What’s wrong with me getting together with my grandson, huh? Did Jeanette
She put up a polite smile. “I can’t drink as much as you, Mr. Lang. So I’m gonna have to ask you to let me off the hook for this one.”“Aww. How about this? I’ll help ya’ drink for the next few toasts.”“Thanks.”Mr. Lang’s lips curled into a lopsided smile. “Drinking is a physical sport, though, Supergirl. I should deserve some compensation from helping you, right, Miss Leighton?”He leaned, pressing his body close to her as if he did not just step into the bounds of the ladies’ room. Jeane
“Oops, my hand slipped. How clumsy of me.” Jeanette snickered, hurling the glass to the floor with a flick of her wrist. It shattered into pieces. “You must excuse me, Mr. Lang.”She grabbed Lucia’s hand—who was so startled by this sudden course of events that she did not even know what to say—and marched toward the exit.“Leighton! Come back here, or so help me, I’m gonna make you regret this!” Mr. Lang thundered in rage. He reached out and grabbed Jeanette.She swung herself free.It was a
