Before the Radcliff family’s downfall, she would not even blink when she spent a few hundred thousand on a jewelry auction. After meeting Quinn, she got a limitless card. Jenna had no concept of money. Quinn held a glass of water and looked at Jenna. “Add up your salary and calculate how long it’ll take for you to save eight million.”Jenna subconsciously calculated her annual salary. As she just started at Elysian, her salary was on the level of an intern. Even after she was confirmed, her annual salary and bonuses would not amount to… Thirty thousand. Jenna was stunned and felt that she made a mistake. “Is it that hard to make money?”Quinn smiled. “What did you think?”Jenna was speechless.“Miss, go wash your hands.” Aunt Lily had prepared the eggs benedict and put it on a plate. “Mr. Forester, how about an omelet for you?”“Sure,” Quinn replied and sat himself down at the table. Jenna washed her hands with a heavy heart, then returned to the dining table. When she saw
Quinn did not raise his head. He said, “You’re not going to touch the eggs benedict anymore now that you’re eating the porridge. It’s not easy work for Aunt Lily to make breakfast.”Jenna was speechless.He certainly did not think of the servants’ hard work in Sparrow Garden!Jenna’s ears went red when she saw him take another bite.After finishing the bowl of porridge and half an omelet, Jenna rinsed her mouth and applied lipstick.Since Quinn was also done with breakfast, they went out together. As they were close to each other, Jenna saw countless missed calls pop out when Quinn turned on his phone. The new messages and social media notifications nearly overloaded the phone.It seemed all the missed calls came from Ivy. She had called Quinn more than ninety times last night.Quinn did not bother with the missed calls and messages. He opened his WhatsApp and checked on an executive group.Seeing his indifferent response to all the missed calls and remembering how she tur
As they talked and kissed beside the car, Sam wished he was invisible. Nonetheless, he could only watch. After Quinn got into the car and closed the door, Sam could not help but laugh when he saw the mark on Quinn’s lips through the rearview mirror.He cleared his throat, trying to hide his amusement. “Ma’am seems quite… lively lately.”Sam was in charge of it back then. He watched as Jenna overcame the trauma of her family going bankrupt and her grandmother’s death. Then, she had been reserved while living in Sparrow Garden.She seemed much happier after moving to Sandalwood Palace. Her relationship with Mr. Forester also became harmonious.Sam did not know how to express what he saw.They used to merely live under a roof like a superior and his employee. Now, Jenna was intimate with Quinn. It was as if she was standing by him.“Are you planning to preach to me early in the morning?” Quinn raised his brow, coldly glancing at Sam.“I wouldn’t dare.” Sam put aside those thought
A few days later, Old Madam Forester called her. While chatting, Jenna got to know a few more of Quinn’s favorite dishes.She practiced those dishes with Aunt Lily until she was satisfied with their taste.If Quinn returned by the afternoon, she could prepare dinner for him.Jenna rubbed the edge of her phone and looked at the message she just sent. While lost in her thoughts, she suddenly heard someone calling for her.“Jenna.”Jenna raised her head to find Miss Brown walking toward her. She put down her phone and stood up. “Miss Brown, is there anything I can help with?”“Manager Whitefield from the North City subsidiary called me. He brought his team to Brogavia for business negotiation, but while waiting for the flight, the translator he brought with him suddenly had severe gastritis…” Miss Brown rubbed her temple and said helplessly, “He had to be rushed to the hospital for surgery and is staying there.“Other than him, the only translator who knows Serbian is you. Get yo
Quinn’s status was at ‘typing’. Soon, she received a message.Quinn: [Ask Kevin to go with you.]He must not have seen it.Jenna was relieved and replied okay. His message came in as soon as hers was sent.Quinn: [Go downstairs to receive a package later.]The next second, her phone rang.“Hello?”“Good day. Is this Miss Jenna?” It was a polite male voice. “You have a package. Are you at your company now?”“Yes. Give me a second.” Jenna pushed her chair away and hurried out of her office.When she reached the lobby, she saw a deliveryman in a uniform standing next to the receptionist counter. He had a beautiful shopping bag in his hand. Jenna walked toward him. “I’m Jenna. Is this for me?”“Oh, yes.” The deliveryman quickly handed the shopping bag to her and two delivery slips. “Here. Please sign this for me.”Jenna just received Quinn’s message and knew he had sent it. So, she signed the delivery slip without hesitation.“Thank you.”“You’re welcome.” The deliveryman wa
“Yeah, you can say so.” Kevin brushed it off.He did not raise his head to look at her. Feeling awkward, Kevin opened the box of cream puffs and stuffed one in his mouth.“I’ve been having a rough time too.” Jenna sighed. “Quinn gave me two financial books as thick as bricks. Apart from working, all I do is read.”“Financial books?” Kevin was stunned. “Are you starting to learn finance?”“Yes.” Jenna’s smile reached her eyes. “Quinn said if I don’t start now, I won’t have the time to learn when I take back my company.”Kevin saw her eyes and lowered his head quickly.He had followed Quinn for a long time. He knew Quinn did not have much patience in teaching. However, everything he taught Jenna now was for her own good. How great…“Kevin?” Jenna called him twice. Seeing Kevin’s head lowered and as though he did not hear her, she waved her hand by his face.Kevin looked at her. “What did you say?”“I said, the company wants me to go on a business trip to Brogavia. Come with me
Jenna took quite a few photos, feeling good about herself. She assumed Quinn was busy, seeing that he had not replied.She took off the earrings and went to take a bath. Then, she picked up her phone on the bedside table while drying her hair.Quinn: [Have you finished the books?]Jenna jumped on the bed and sat cross-legged. [I’ve finished one and memorized quite some content from the other.]She wanted to welcome him to test her anytime when Quinn’s message popped out. [Bring the book with you on the trip. Finish the second book.]If Quinn were standing in front of Jenna, she would have chucked her phone at Quinn’s face.She had worked as an on-site translator a few times and knew how exhausting it could be. Sometimes, negotiations would go on non-stop. She would have to interpret constantly, with no time to even drink water.Jenna: [How would I have time to read a book on a business trip?]Quinn: [You can stay up late.]She looked at Quinn’s cold and annoying message, then
Shawn’s heart wrenched in pain as he reminisced about their past. His voice was low. “Jen, would that be okay?”“What’s there to talk about?” Jenna sneered, brushing her wind-blown hair aside. “Talk about how you killed my parents and took Seabright from my grasp?”Shawn wanted to say something, but he could only taste bitterness between his pursed lips.He deserved it.After all, he had caused the rift between them.Jenna looked coldly at him. “Shawn Sadler, please don’t call me Jen anymore. It only disgusts me!”“Let’s go, Kevin.” She pulled her luggage and left.Kevin quickly grabbed the other luggage and followed up.Shawn stood quietly and watched Jenna’s cold figure disappear into the airport’s hall. A bitter smile appeared on his lips. He did not expect the seeds he had sown would eventually lead to his suffering.His assistant waited for a while before carefully pushing his luggage forward. “Mr. Sadler, your luggage.”“Thanks.” Shawn’s voice was a little hoarse.
