“Yeah, it’s nighttime here. I just showered and will sleep after drying my hair.”Jenna lay on the bed and took the book on her bedside table, flipping it open. “Aunt Lily, why did you call me?”“Miss, you’ve been overseas for a few days now. I’m worried you aren’t taking care of yourself.” Aunt Lily said with concern, “I remember there was once you went on a business trip to Povia and vomited as soon as you reached the hotel.”Jenna felt a surge of warmth in her heart. She smiled. “Back then, I had a poor appetite and bad motion sickness. That’s why I vomited. Things are better now. The hotel is great. I’m just not used to the food here.”“When you return, I’ll cook your favorites.” Aunt Lily paused and said, “Miss, does Miss Langham have a good relationship with Mr. Forester?”Miss Langham?Jenna’s heart fell. She sat up from the bed, crossing her legs. “Which Miss Langham? Ivy Langham?”“Yes, her.”“Aunt Lily, how do you know her?” Jenna narrowed her eyes. “Did she look for
The tenderness and indulgence in his eyes made Jenna insanely jealous. She felt coolness at the corner of her eyes.Then, coldness spread throughout her whole body.She scrolled through the few photos tirelessly until her eyes felt sore. Even her hand, holding the phone, began to ache.Her gaze swept through Quinn’s eyes and suddenly realized.Why did she feel suffocated when Ivy splashed boiling water on her at the Forester family, causing Quinn to lecture her with a stern face?Why was she jealous of Quinn’s indulgence toward Ivy?Why did she occasionally feel insecure, thinking Quinn did not care enough about her?She had fallen in love with Quinn.The seedlings of love had been planted in her heart long ago. However, she had not dared to give it much thought and could not admit it. Jenna thought about it numbly. When Quinn was with her, he always looked at her indifferently. In the past, he always had a passionate gaze around Ivy.He only treated their relationship as a
Jenna jumped in fright.She looked up and saw the man that grabbed her wrist had messy hair. His eyes look wild and abnormal, causing her heart to skip a beat.“Sir, you’ve got the wrong person.” Jenna tried to shrug him off and retreated.“Sarah! Sarah, I know I was wrong. Will you come home with me?” The man’s grip on Jenna’s wrist tightened, and he begged while staring at her. “You could abandon me, but are you abandoning our daughter too?”Jenna thought the man was mad. She did not dare answer, afraid of angering him.However, the man’s expression changed at her silence. “Why aren’t you speaking? Are you waiting for that man? How long have you been together?”“Slut! You are a fucking slut!”Jenna’s hands reached for her phone in her pocket. Just as she was about to call someone, the man yelled and pounced at her, strangling her neck.Jenna missed a step and fell on the ground heavily. She scratched the man’s arm in futile efforts, which caused several lines of blood to appe
“Kev, what happened?” Sam walked over.Kevin did not hide anything and told Sam the whole incident.Sam’s expression changed. “Where is that man?”“I was focused on sending Jen to the hospital and didn’t have time to deal with him. I guess he ran away.” Kevin rubbed his temples and sounded calm.“Stay here, big bro. Call me if there’s anything. I’ll try finding that man. We have something to settle.” “You must be tired too. Take a rest.” Sam frowned slightly. “Someone will deal with this…”“She almost died. Big bro, I’m not kidding. If I were a second later, Jen would have died,” Kevin cut him off and said in a suppressed tone. “If it weren’t for my carelessness, Jen wouldn’t have been attacked. I will deal with this.”He turned around and left immediately, not wanting to hear what Sam had to say.Kevin returned to the shooting range and asked for the surveillance video. In ten minutes, he had traced the man’s trail after leaving the shooting range.He followed the trail an
The helper was coming up with some tea when she saw the state of the room. She quickly set the tray on the table before approaching Ivy. “Miss Ivy, don’t upset the baby inside you.” "Tell me, why isn’t Quinn coming to see me?” Ivy asked the helper. Her hands pressed against the dressing table were still trembling. “Do you think he’s fallen for Jenna? He said he would wait for me. He can’t go back on his word…” She muttered while looking at her swollen belly. A sharp look appeared in her eyes. If only she did not have this child… The helper could tell what was on Ivy’s mind. Hurriedly, she kneeled and placed her hands on Ivy’s belly. She tried to advise her, "Miss Ivy, please don’t overthink it. You know how much Young Master Quinn cares about the baby. Even Old Mr. Forester…” It was not the Foresters who assigned this helper to Ivy. Once a trusted helper of Madam Langham, the helper was assigned to Ivy after she got pregnant. The helper remembered what Madam Langha
The man had placed a chair in front of him, serving as a desk for him to put his laptop on. The cuffs of his shirt were slightly folded, revealing his toned arms. Jenna’s weak cough caught his attention. He looked up and noticed Jenna was awake, staring blankly at him. After a brief pause, he shut the laptop. "Do you want some water?" Jenna did not respond. Instead, she pulled the blankets up and burrowed underneath them. Quinn cocked his eyebrow when he saw the way Jenna acted. He got up and approached the bed. Then, he gently but firmly pulled away the blanket before taking her in his arms. With his free hand, he reached for the carafe on the bedside table and poured half a glass of water. He held the glass to Jenna's lips. “Drink some.” Jenna tried to resist. When she realized she could not wring herself free, she smacked the glass away. Fortunately, Quinn held onto the glass tightly, so only a little water splashed on the blanket. "Jenna,” Quinn said grav
When she crashed her car into Shawn’s, she was prepared to die with him. Then, she was ready to face death as long as she got to avenge her parents. Now, she wanted to live. She had to take back Seabright Group, so the souls of her parents and grandmother may rest at ease. Even if Quinn only liked her a little, she still thought it was worth a shot. However, it was clear he was too lenient with his previous beau. Ivy had tried to get her killed countless times, but Quinn remained passive. Jenna had thoroughly given up on him. Upon reading the words on the display, Quinn's eyes darkened. He spoke faintly, “What are you talking about? We’re not even close to the point of divorce yet. Also, the sheer idea of divorce does not exist to me…” He paused briefly before continuing, “Only widowhood.” Jenna's fingers clenching the phone turned white. [What? Were you hoping Ivy would kill me?] “I was careless this time." Quinn lowered himself and rested his chin on her head.
When Kevin noticed Quinn stepping out, something shifted in his eyes. He straightened up. Quinn closed the door and gestured Kevin over to him. He asked in a grave voice, "Your brother told me that you were the one who took care of things last night?” “Yes." "What happened to that man?" Kevin clenched his hands and answered with his head lowered. "Dead." He punched the man harder than he thought. It was only after he finished the call with Ivy that Kevin realized the man was dead. Quinn's expression was still as ever upon hearing this. He nodded. "Call the hotel and ask for a suite. Also, get me a new phone.” Kevin grunted, “Understood.” After Sam finished attending to his email, he noticed Quinn entering the ward again. He quickly approached Kevin. “Kev, what did the boss tell you just now?" “He told me to get him a suite in the hotel and a new phone." When Kevin looked at the closed door, his eyes darkened. “He probably knows Jen doesn’t like the smell o
