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 Damon wanted to make her suffer, she would not make things easy for him either!

Jeanette pushed away her chair and said coldly, “I’m done eating. You guys can take your time!” She then turned around and left after saying that.

Sylvia frowned, and her face sank as she got up from her seat. “Jeanette Leighton, stop right there!” In her heart, Jeanette was a snip who had married into the Godfrey family with impure intentions. Besides, her mother was a mistress. No matter how she looked at it, Jeanette was not worthy of her son, let alone being a part of the Godfrey family!

Back then, Sylvia had compromised and agreed to let this woman in. Jeanette should have known her place and lowered herself to serve the Godfrey family!

Who gave her the right to act up like that!?

However, despite hearing Sylvia, Jeanette walked out without turning her head. She knew that if she stayed there, Sylvia would only keep insulting her.

From the moment she had married into the Godfrey family, Sylvia had gotten used to bullying her. In the beginning, she endured it and respected her because she was Damon’s mother.

It was indeed true that she had used dishonest means to marry into the Godfrey family, so she did carry guilt in her heart. But that did not mean she should be treated like a slave and get trampled by them however they wanted!

“Jeanette Leighton, I told you to stop!” Sylvia suddenly became livid and even ran after Jeanette, but the latter still ignored her.

“Jeanette, are you trying to go against me!?” Sylvia scowled and raised her finger as she ordered the servant, “Go stop her and get her back right now!”

The servants in the Godfrey family residence looked at each other and were hesitant to take action. They were just servants, but Jeanette was the young lady of the Godfrey family. How could they actually do that?

“Are all of you going to disobey me too? Do you want to lose your job?!” Sylvia threatened them when no one followed her order.

The servants had no choice, so they mustered their courage to stop Jeanette.

“Get out of my way!” Jeanette was annoyed as she glared fiercely at the servants who were in her way.

“Go and get her back! If you don’t do as you’re told, you’re all going to get kicked out as well!” Sylvia gave them an ultimatum. The servants did not dare to hesitate anymore, so they grabbed Jeanette’s arm.

“What are you doing? Let me go!” Jeanette struggled as there were too many of them. Several servants dragged her.

Sylvia said angrily, “Well, well, well, Jeanette Leighton, I think you not only disrespect me, but you don’t take the Godfrey family seriously either! Since you’re so uncultured, you should be punished through domestic discipline!”

She pointed to the basement. “Drag her in there and lock her up for the entire day. She’s not allowed to leave until she is locked up for at least 24 hours!”

The two servants dragged her all the way into the basement obediently.

    “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

    Jeanette lowered her head and took a glance as she wondered whether she sprained her ankle again while struggling last night. It looked red and swollen.She sat on the side of the bed and rubbed her ankle for a while before putting on her slippers and going downstairs limply.“Miss Jeanette, you just woke up?” The housekeeper had been waiting in the living room. She had been afraid that Jeanette might wake up in the middle of the night, so she stayed up all night. “The soup is still kept warm in the kitchen. I’ll bring you some.”“Thank you.” Jeanette held on to the table for support as she sat down. Her body felt extremely uncomfortable, and she most probably would not be able to work today. Halfway through her meal, she asked her employer for a day off.Jeanette pondered for a while before messaging Elias to make an appointment to check her red and swollen ankle later.After the meal, Jeanette was planning to rest for a while before heading out. Unfortunately, her plans were int

    Sylvia sneered and nodded as she pointed at Jeanette and said, “Okay, since you don’t want to sign it, you’re going to get a fertility check-up right now! This is the least you could do for me, right?”Jeanette bit her lip. She decided to compromise for the time being because Sylvia would just keep picking on her until she could prove that she was perfectly healthy. Jeanette ended up entering the examination room.Only then did Madison approach Sylvia. She appeared polite and docile as she said, “Ma’am, if my sister refuses to get a divorce, so be it. I’m fine, as long as I can have a smooth delivery. I’m content.”Her words were like music to Sylvia’s ears. She had always liked an obedient daughter-in-law like that, so she patted the back of Madison’s hand and said softly, “Don’t worry, I’ll definitely make them get a divorce. How can the daughter of a mistress be worthy of being the mother of my grandson?”Madison said politely, “I’ll do as you say, but you shouldn’t push yoursel

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

For a moment there, she had no idea what to say to him.They had pretty much silently admitted to the media’s claims over their engagement. Over the past few days, Zeke had been making preparations for their engagement party. She had been the one to suggest getting married, but now she was beginning to feel cold feet.

    “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.
