When Jenna entered the room, she smelled a very faint but familiar floral fragrance.She sniffed again and quickly remembered she had smelled it on Quinn’s coat before.Recalling the past, Jenna pressed her lips together.She knew the man she saw outside the cafe that day was Quinn. However, Kevin refused to admit it!The floral fragrance was light and sweet, but Jenna felt disgusted by it.She pulled out her mini perfume from her bag and sprayed it in every corner of the room. It took the whole bottle for Jenna to feel satisfied that the floral fragrance was gone.Right then, Quinn exited the bathroom wearing a gray bathrobe.The bathrobe was loosely tied, revealing his tan chest. His wet hair was plastered to his scalp, giving him a slight hedonistic air.His eyes, however, were emotionless and sharp as usual.Quinn was drying his hair with a towel when he exited and smelled the perfume. The wild rose scent filled the room.He frowned lightly. “Why did you spray so much per
Jenna’s personality had done a 180 the past few days, especially after coming to the Forester home. It truly opened his eyes. Just a few words from her could make the old madam incredibly happy.It was his first time seeing his grandmother like someone so much too.Quinn swallowed and threw Jenna’s hand away from him. Coldly, he said, “You just need to please Grandmother. There’s no need to please me. It’s troublesome.”Jenna’s eyes darkened, and she smiled faintly. “Of course. The customer is always right.”She slammed her earrings onto the cabinet and turned to enter the bathroom.Quinn frowned as he watched her slender figure go but soon averted his gaze. After drying his hair, he worked on some emails.Much later, Quinn pinched the bridge of his nose and turned off his computer.He had lifted the covers and gotten into bed when Jenna exited the bathroom. Her silky hair fell down her back, and she looked cozy.As she had just showered, her skin was glowing from the heat. Fai
When Jenna had her period, she would rarely get cramps. Instead, she would feel fatigued. So she slept past 10 a.m. the next day.As the Foresters’ helpers were notified the night before, they did not disturb Jenna.Old Mrs. Forester, afraid that Jenna did not have clothes to change into, had sent someone to the department store early in the morning to buy and secretly deliver over ten sets of clothes to Jenna’s room.They were all ready-made luxury clothes with jewelry to match.Although the Radcliffs were no more, after getting together with Quinn, Jenna’s standard of living had not dropped even a little. Very quickly, she picked out an outfit.Ivy happened to be leaving her room as well when Jenna walked out.It seemed as though she had not slept well. Ivy looked pale, and there were dark circles under her eyes.Jenna was anemic due to her period. So, while her face was a little pale, she was in good spirits. When she saw Ivy, she greeted her politely.“Morning, Ivy.”“It’s
Jenna walked toward Ivy and stopped in front of her. “Miss Langham, don’t you think that description fits you better?”“You were the one who abandoned Quinn then and wanted to marry Pete Forester. Later on, you regretted it, so relying on the fact that Quinn still had feelings for you, you wanted to get back together with him again.”Ivy knew it must have been the old madam who told her about that. “Shut up!” Ivy shouted.Jenna smiled. “Why? Are you angry because I said what was really in your heart?” “It’s not like you love him. You weren’t young and foolish either. You just enjoyed being pampered by a man with power and authority.” Jenna leaned in slightly toward Ivy, who was angry with embarrassment.“I told you to shut up!” Ivy’s expression suddenly darkened, and she raised her hand to slap Jenna.Jenna, of course, was not going to just stand there and take it.When Ivy’s hand came toward her, Jenna grabbed Ivy’s hand with force. “Miss Langham, you’ve already gotten enoug
“Hurry! Carry Miss Langham to her room!”“Get Dr. Tennyson on the line!”Once the few of them came back to their senses, one rushed to call the doctor.Just as the other two were about to help Ivy up, a tall figure walked in with large strides, pushing the helpers aside. When he saw Ivy on the floor, his eyes widened.The man hurriedly went to Ivy and bent over to pick her up carefully.Ivy wrapped one arm around his neck as she said, her voice trembling, “My stomach… It hurts so much.”“Don’t be scared. They’ve already called Dr. Tennyson.” Quinn comforted Ivy and strode out of the pantry with her in his arms, a few helpers following closely behind.It was as if nobody had noticed Jenna was there in the pantry too.Her thin skirt could not block the boiling water, and Jenna’s legs had been severely scalded. She did not even have the strength to stand. Soon, she lost strength in her arms as well and fell to the floor, bursting into tears.She did not have a phone with her and
“Do you need me to go upstairs and apologize?” Jenna asked softly, propping her upper half from the sofa and raising her head to look at Quinn.Quinn only noticed then that Jenna was very pale, seemingly due to the pain. There was even a hint of agony in her expression.He frowned harder and quickly let go of her.Turning to go upstairs, Quinn coldly instructed the helper, “Call a doctor over!”“Yes, sir.” The helper knew Dr. Tennyson had to take care of Ivy and would not be coming down. Once again, she picked up the landline, but Jenna stopped her.“No need.”“But Miss Jenna, your legs…” The helper looked at Jenna’s thoroughly wet skirt and said worriedly, “If it isn’t treated in time, your legs will scar…”Jenna ignored her. Picking up her own phone, she made a call.About ten minutes later, Kevin arrived at the Forester home in a rush.When he entered the living area and saw Jenna’s pale face, he was shocked. “Jen, what happened?”Jenna did not answer. Instead, she gritted
Sandalwood Palace was a famous residential area in the city center, renowned for its luxurious environment and top-notch services. It was home to many tycoons and celebrities.When they reached Sandalwood Palace’s south entrance, Kevin saw a man in a suit standing by the roadside, looking around. Once he spotted them, he ran over.The suited man walked straight toward the backseat and greeted Jenna, who had wound the car window down. “Miss Radcliff.”The man got in once Jenna asked Kevin to unlock the car doors.From the suited man’s conversation with Jenna, Kevin learned that the man was a property agent who would be showing Jenna apartments.They drove to the innermost building in Sandalwood Palace. Then, the agent led Jenna and Kevin up to the sixteenth floor, showing them a spacious apartment.The apartment was elegantly decorated and had everything from an indoor swimming pool to a home theater. It was fully furnished and could be moved into immediately.After Kevin helped
At the Forester villa.After the Old Mrs. Forester finished praying, she initially wanted to stay longer at the cathedral with Jacqueline. However, after hearing what had happened at home, she immediately rushed back that afternoon with Jacqueline in tow.The old madam sat on the sofa for a long while with a grim expression after hearing what had happened from Mary.The helpers standing in a row to the side all looked down. They did not even dare to breathe loudly.That morning, most of them had been working upstairs or in the yard and had not expected such a shocking event to happen.Miss Jenna had pushed Miss Ivy, almost causing Miss Ivy to miscarry!Although there were many Forester grandchildren, the old madam’s favorites were Pete and Quinn Forester. Unexpectedly, Pete passed away, leaving behind Ivy and the child in her belly.So, the Old Mrs. Forester was very fond of this unborn great-grandchild.Although the old madam liked Miss Jenna, some of the helpers thought that
