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
Mary stepped forward with trepidation.At first, Quinn’s expression was calm. However, as she got nearer, his terrifying aura made every inch of her tremble uncontrollably.Mary’s heart trembled, and she said stubbornly, “I was getting something from the pantry when I saw Miss Jenna push Miss Ivy hard. Miss Jenna was afraid she would be exposed, so she took the kettle and poured it over her legs—”“That’s not what you said to the old madam,” Quinn interrupted her coldly. “You said Miss Jenna and Miss Ivy got into an argument, and Miss Jenna picked up the kettle and poured it on herself, wanting to blame it on Miss Ivy.”“M-maybe I remembered wrongly…” Forced into a corner by Quinn’s oppressively cold aura, Mary began to sweat. “Miss Jenna took the kettle and poured it on herself—”Quinn took a cigarette from the box and lit it unhurriedly. After taking two puffs, he said, “Come here.”Mary took a few more steps forward, almost leaning against Quinn’s side.Suddenly, he grabbed h
Quinn dismissed the helpers to their work. When he finished smoking the cigarette, he went upstairs to Ivy’s room.Entering the bedroom, Quinn saw Jacob packing up his kit.Ivy, lying on the bed, was completely pale, looking pitiful.Jacob gave Quinn a look when he saw him come in and said grumpily, “I’ve already given her an injection. Miss Langham needs to rest well for the next few days and avoid being stressed.“Thank you,” Quinn said.“If you really want to thank me, don’t call me next time.” Jacob slung his kit over his shoulder, looking irritated. “Mr. Forester, please remember that I’m a surgeon, not an obstetrician and gynecologist. Call the head of O & G next time, okay?”The last time Jacob had to help was when Quinn’s wife got drugged. This time, Quinn’s ex-girlfriend’s pregnancy was unstable, and he had to help again!‘Goddamn it. Did I kill Quinn’s family in his past life? Is that why I’m paying for it now?’Jacob even said maliciously, “You asked a non-expert lik
Upon returning to Sparrow Garden, Kevin spoke to Aunt Lily. Aunt Lily immediately went upstairs to collect Jenna’s belongings before leaving Sparrow Garden with Kevin. As far as she was concerned, the only person she needed to care for was Jenna. She would go wherever Jenna was. On the way to Sandalwood Palace, Kevin received a call from Sam. Sam was calling to ask if he had taken Jenna to the hospital to treat the burn on her leg. “No.” Kevin frowned when he thought about the burn on Jenna’s leg. “Jen hates the smell of disinfectant in the hospital.” Sam remarked, “It’s because her grandmother passed away in a hospital.” “Big bro, the burn on her legs is quite serious. The doctor says that if we don’t get it treated soon, it’s going to leave behind an ugly scar,” Kevin said while driving. “Also, she doesn't want to live in Sparrow Garden, so she went and bought an apartment in Sandalwood Palace. I’m driving Aunt Lily over there to take care of her." “Alright
