Ding—

When the elevator door opened, Jeanette blinked her eyes and walked out calmly.

As soon as she left the building, she saw a woman walking toward her. It was an unpleasant sight as she was none other than Madison Leighton, her half-sister.

“Oh, sister. Why are you here?” She looked Jeanette up and down with a smile, and there was a hint of arrogance on her face. “What happened? Did Damon kick you out again?”

Jeanette pursed her lips and wanted to ignore her. Still, she walked past her as she tried to leave.

“I’m pregnant.” Madison’s sudden announcement made Jeanette stop in her tracks. “It’s Damon’s child.”

Jeanette’s eyes trembled violently, but when she turned to look at Madison, her eyes returned to their usual state of calmness. “Oh? Should I congratulate you for being an unmarried and pregnant mistress? How shameless.”

When Madison heard that, her expression changed instantly, and she snapped. “Jeanette, wasn’t your mother a mistress too? Stop pretending to be all virtuous! You were born out of wedlock!”

Jeanette’s mother was not a mistress. Jeanette’s father had deceived her mother by hiding the fact he was married, and she had no choice but to give birth to her.

Jeanette withdrew her gaze indifferently. Her profile looked icy yet beautiful in the sun, and her long eyelashes curled alluringly. After a long time, she finally opened her mouth and said, “Madison, no matter what I do, I’ll never brazenly seduce a married man. What’s more, you went for your own biological sister’s husband! I see you’re getting better at being shameless.”

“You!” Madison was furious. She glared at Jeanette fiercely but could not seem to say anything to attack her for a long time.

Jeanette turned around and left without even looking at her.

“Jeanette, Damon will divorce you someday!” Madison shouted at Jeanette’s back, “He said that the person he hates the most in the world is you!”

Although Jeanette heard her, she closed her eyes quietly and picked up her pace to get into the car. She closed the door and window, started the car, and sped off as she left.

When the Godfrey Tower was finally out of her sight, she finally had the courage to reveal her bitter sorrow under her tense expression.

As the car stopped on the side of the road, she could help but lean on the steering wheel. She bit her lower lip tightly as she swallowed the bitter pain that Damon had left her.

It was the weekend at Villa Harmonia. Jeanette tried to call Damon several times, but she still could not reach him.

Today was the day she and Damon were supposed to meet his parents. They had never liked Jeanette, so she had to be extremely cautious and careful every time she met them. If she was late...

The ringtone of her phone suddenly rang sharply, interrupting her thoughts. She hurriedly picked up the phone and took a glance. It was a call from the Godfrey family residence.

Jeanette’s heart instantly sank.

She squeezed her fingers and answered the phone after calming herself down. “Hey, Mom.”

The person who was speaking on the other end of the phone was Damon’s mother, Sylvia Selman. “Jeanette, Damon came back already. You can drive over here by yourself.”

“What?” Jeanette was taken aback.

Did he just ditch her and go back home alone? Did he really hate seeing her that much?

“Jeanette, what’s the matter with you? You don’t take care of Damon, and now, both of you even come separately when you visit us back home. Do you actually want a divorce?” Sylvia started blaming her the second she opened her mouth, not bothering to ask the reason behind it all.

Jeanette was rendered speechless, yet she had no choice but to simply suffer in silence.

Why would she want a divorce? If she wanted to get a divorce, she would have already left the first time she found out that Damon had cheated on her. Why would she tolerate him up until now?

“Hurry up and come back. I’m utterly disappointed to have a daughter-in-law like you!” Sylvia snapped and hung up the phone.

Jeanette could only bite her lips and smile bitterly. She packed up and left the house.

Before she started driving, she pondered for a while, and in the end, she decided to take a taxi instead. Damon must have driven over there. If she drove too, they would definitely leave separately. When that happened, Sylvia would put the blame on her again.

However, because it was the weekend, the road was a little congested. When Jeanette arrived, it was already past twelve.

Unfortunately, she was late!

    Jeanette paid the taxi fare before picking up her pace and hurrying into the manor.After passing the main gate, she had to walk through a huge garden. The journey took several minutes, and she did not dare to waste any time at all. She ran all the way to the front door and hurriedly tidied her hair before entering the living room. The aroma of food lingered in the living room.The housekeeper, Berta, saw Jeanette and said awkwardly, “Miss Jeanette, you’re here. Master and Madam are already having their dinner.”Jeanette’s body stiffened, and she looked embarrassed. She was part of the Godfrey family too, and this was a family dinner, but they did not wait for her...“It’s okay.” Jeanette forced a smile and said, “Please bring me a set of silverware. Thank you.”“Sure,” replied Berta.Jeanette stood still for a few more seconds and took a deep breath. After composing herself, she walked over calmly and said politely, “Mom, Dad, sorry I’m late.”Damon’s father, Christophe Godfrey

    Damon’s words pierced through Jeanette’s heart like a precise and vicious blade. She felt so much pain that almost her entire body was trembling. She quickly reached out to hold the table to support herself and finally steadied herself.Sylvia smiled as well as she mocked Jeanette with her gaze, but she said, “Damon, I get what you mean, but you already married her. Do you plan to never have a child?”She patted Damon on the shoulder and tried to persuade him. “Having a child is really nothing. You just need to turn off the lights and close your eyes. As long as she gets pregnant and gives birth to a son, I’ll disregard everything else.”Would they get a divorce? No! She had gone through so much to marry him until she finally did. She suffered and was humiliated for the past two years. If she left, wouldn’t it mean that she gave in?If they got a divorce, she would always be ridiculed and looked down upon by people who disrespected her in the past! She wouldn’t let him go!If Damo

    “Let me go! You have no right to treat me like this...” Jeanette struggled with all her might.Sylvia did not bother listening to her at all. She put her hands on her hips triumphantly, as if she was waiting to watch what ensued.Jeanette struggled but to no avail. She was pushed to the door of the basement within a few seconds.“Enough.” Damon, who was at the side, finally spoke. He stood up slowly and strode with his long legs as he walked toward Jeanette.“Damon, what are you doing?” Sylvia asked anxiously, “Do you want to side with this woman? She just disrespected me!”Damon was tall and lean. It only took him a few steps before he was in front of Jeanette. He gave the two servants a cold glance, and they retracted their hands in fear, immediately letting go of Jeanette.Jeanette could still feel the warmth on her wrist when Damon grabbed her by the hand and pulled her to his side. When she looked back at him, he still seemed cold and indifferent. He said to Sylvia, “Mom,

    Damon opened the car door with one hand and threw her into the car without trying to be gentle at all. When he slammed the car door shut, he said coldly, “Fasten your seat belt!”Jeanette hummed in agreement and did not talk back, which was also very rare. She fastened her seat belt obediently.The car finally started in a strange and inexplicable atmosphere. Jeanette stared at the view outside the window as the scenery moved past her. She had a guilty conscience, and it felt complicated and difficult to describe for a while.This was the first time that she and Damon were around each other and did not argue and fight. However, the atmosphere was so quiet that it made her feel extremely uneasy.Jeanette was in a dilemma during the whole journey. Eventually, she mustered up the courage to break the unbearable silence. “Where are we going?”Damon stared at the road ahead and focused on driving. He did not give her an answer immediately.Jeanette was a little frustrated, biting her

    Madison won, so she got into the elevator proudly while Jeanette was frozen solid at the door. She was pushed back and forth several times by passersby and patients who were rushing into the elevator.Jeanette stood alone for a long time before closing her eyes forcefully, forcing herself to calm down and be rational. She then put on her usual calm facade again before entering the next available elevator.She followed the instructions on the registration form and knocked on the doctor’s office door.“Come in.” The male voice that responded sounded somewhat familiar.Jeanette frowned as the name of an old friend popped up in her mind.Jeanette took a glance after opening the door, and the doctor inside was indeed an acquaintance. “Elias? You came back from overseas?” Jeanette’s eyes widened in surprise.The doctor behind the desk raised his head. His face looked delicate and fine, while his charming eyes were alluring. He was as handsome as a comic character.“Jeanette!” He stood

    Elias looked at Damon, who was in the car, from a distance. He had a meaningful smile at the corners of his lips, and it had a hint of unshaken confidence. He withdrew his gaze first and raised his foot as he headed back to the hospital.In the past, Elias had let Jeanette go because he knew that they were about to get married, and Jeanette loved Damon deeply. He knew that after they got married, he would never stand a chance. But now, it seemed like... he did have a chance.Damon stared at Elias’s figure as he disappeared from sight and clasped the steering wheel.What relationship did that person have with Jeanette? They seemed so close, and they were talking and laughing... What an eyesore!Damon felt even more furious as he thought about how ridiculous he was for waiting for her at the hospital entrance. It was rare for him to treat her so kindly, but he did since he was in a good mood. Yet, she was getting so close with another man in front of him!?Did she even remember that

    During the two years of their marriage, Damon had never come back before, except on nights when he got drunk. He was currently sitting on the sofa in the living room with a gloomy expression. He raised his eyes as he stared at Jeanette calmly and indifferently.Jeanette froze at the door for a while before finally raising her foot and walking in. She asked softly, “Why are you back home?”The corners of Damon’s lips curved into what seemed like a smile. “Why? You don’t welcome me?”Jeanette’s heart was filled with bitterness.How would she not want him home?She had been wishing for it way too many times, yet it had never come true. Now that her wish suddenly came true, she could not believe it. At the same time, she somehow had an ominous feeling.“Why exactly did you come back?” she asked frankly.Damon fixed his eyes at her and only said two words. “Come here.”Jeanette was a little wary as she asked, “What are you doing?”Damon repeated coldly, “I said, come here.”The ho

    For Jeanette, this felt like never before. On a clear, bright day like this, Damon was sober yet cruel. All of that was something she had never experienced before."Damon, don't you touch me!" She struggled even more, but the more she resisted, the more violently the flame in Damon's heart burned.He could not help but recall how intimate Jeanette and Elias looked when he saw them at the hospital entrance today. She had been all smiles when she was with another man, but why did she turn away when it was him?Damon forcefully restricted all her movements and tore her clothes apart. There was no warmth at all during the entire process. It was more like a forced conquest and declaration of dominance. It was also at this time that Damon suddenly realized that he just went out of control.The petite woman in his arms was pale. Her eyes with jet black eyelashes were tightly closed and stained with tears. She looked pitiful and haggard.Damon's heart seemed to be touched by something sof

Then, she picked up the phone.“How’ve you been?”Xavier smirked. “Since my own brother has decided to send me to jail, why has he asked you to come all the way here? To insult me? You really are a match made in heaven.”Jeanette sighed. Actually, Xavier was a very smart man, on par with Damon. Besides, when she had first joined the Godf

    “Damon Godfrey! It was you, wasn’t it? How could you do this to me?” His expression was ruthless. His eyes were filled with a terrifying expression, unlike ever before. He looked like a wild animal that had been suppressing its urges for a very long time.Jeanette had never seen such a terrifying look on Xavier’s face before. She paused in fright as she stared at Xavier from afar.Damon seemed perfectly calm. “You brought this on yourself, Xavier. I know what you’ve done. It’s just that I neve

    “You’re overthinking it!” Elias slapped her hand away.Vanessa laughed bitterly. “Oh, I wish I was, Elias. But the facts prove that you’re in love with Mimi Norton. You’re in love with your best friend’s fiancee!”“That has nothing to do with you!” Elias was like a cat who had his tail trampled on. He was tense. He had grown increasingly annoyed now that the heart of the matter had been prodded at.“Nothing to do with me? Elias, do you really think that I was only in love with your position?

    Damon reached out and held her wrist. “You don’t believe me? Then come with me.”Jeanette smacked his hand away, looking very stern. “What are you planning? I’m not leaving with you.”Felix suddenly emerged from his room, holding a teddy bear, just as the pair were in the midst of conflict. He widened his large, limpid eyes and looked at Damon at the doorway. His expression filled with immense joy.“Daddy!” The little boy smiled and happily rushed to wrap his arms around Damon’s waist. “Daddy, are you here to take Mommy and me home?”Damon smiled and gazed at his clever son, a god-send, and spoke in a gentle voice. “Of course. Would you like to come home with Daddy?”“Yes!” The little boy’s voice was clear. Then, he carefully turned to Jeanette. “Mommy…”Jeanette frowned. Her heart was a mess. Felix missed his home. He was such a small child and had been forced to endure the conflict between her and Damon. He must have suffered. However, she couldn’t go home with Damon like this.

    Jeanette was standing in the kitchen, staring dazedly at the pot of burnt potatoes, looking exasperated.‘I’m such an idiot! I’ve actually managed to burn potatoes… by boiling them. This is completely unheard of! It’s all my fault for being so careless. I left the potatoes to boil and ran off to do something else. I was so busy that I completely forgot about them, until two minutes ago, when I smelled the burnt potatoes. Then I remembered that mine and Felix’s dinner was in that pot. All of the water had actually evaporated!’Jeanette felt a massive headache as she stared at the blackened potatoes stuck to the pot. This was the only food they had at home. Now that the potatoes were ruined, she had no other choice except to take Felix out for food.She scratched her head in exasperation. Felix appeared from behind her, hugging the teddy bear she had just bought for him, and walked into the kitchen. He lifted his chubby, naively little face and stared pitifully up at Jeanette.“Mommy

    In a restaurant, the surrounding atmosphere was illuminated by a gentle, dim light, which made it all feel warm and comfortable. Mimi stared at Zeke, who was seated in front of her. She looked hesitant and nervous. She released two soft coughs, unable to say the words she wanted to say.‘Get engaged…’These words felt very distant to her. She did believe that Zeke was the kind of man she could spend the rest of her life with, but to prepare herself for marriage with him in such a short period… She couldn’t bring herself to accept it. After all, she and Zeke had only been dating for a very short time. Unfortunately, Vanessa’s threat had rendered it impossible for her to avoid the subject. Upon careful consideration, it made sense. Since she was going to be with Zeke, why would the time of marriage make any difference?Perhaps it was time for her to truly accept this relationship and start a new life.She took a deep breath and looked at Zeke, who sat in front of her, then swallowe

    “Father, even if he is my brother, he should be responsible for his crimes. We live in a civilized society. Besides, he’s worked with an outsider in a plot against our company. You know this. The company wouldn’t have been reduced to this mess if it weren’t for him. Father, your constant shelter and indulgence has caused him to make so many mistakes! If you continue spoiling Xavier, he’ll resort to something even more terrifying in the future,” Damon said with a frown.Christophe smirked in his rage. “Damon, has your search for power driven you mad? How could you be so cruel to your own brother? It’s not like you’re unaware of why I’ve been so indulgent toward him. Xavier has never been of sound mind from a young age. Are you worried that I’d leave the Godfrey Group to him? That he would take everything that belongs to you?”Damon was taken aback. He chuckled bitterly and exasperatedly. “Father, do you really think that that’s what I think? Would you really be bold enough to leave th

    The car drove along the road. The driver, a woman, dressed in black wearing a baseball cap, slowly spoke. “What did you say to her?”Vanessa pursed her lips, looking particularly relaxed. “I told her to get engaged with Zeke within a week.”The sound of the car coming to a screeching halt filled the air. The car stopped in the middle of the road, just like that, forcing a row of cars behind them to stop as well. The driver widened her eyes. Her expression was full of rage. “I thought we agreed to expose her affair with Elias? It was a great opportunity for us to ruin her, and you just gave it up?”Vanessa shrugged, looking unperturbed. “Why would I want to ruin her?”“I thought you hated her? Don’t tell me you’re going soft!”The woman frowned. Her expression was filled with anger as if she resented her for not doing any better.She had been planning for so long, coming up with all sorts of schemes to find someone who hated Mimi just as much as she did.
