Jenna got busy once she started working and even forgot that Quinn told her he was going on a business trip to North City.She came back to her senses when she got home in the evening, and Quinn never returned. Jenna showered and lay on the bed, feeling a little bored. Without the man around her, their bedroom suddenly felt empty.She propped up the ragdoll cat plushie and snapped a photo for Quinn.Five minutes later, Quinn replied to her. [What’s up?]Jenna: [I wish I could be this ragdoll cat, only a plushie without a brain to think. Naturally, I won’t miss you.]Quinn: [I’ll be back on Wednesday.]Jenna sent a sad emoticon. [But today is only Monday. It’s still far from Wednesday.]Jenna: [Mister, tell me a fairytale to put me to sleep. Don’t change the story yourself. The Little Red Riding Hood you told gave me nightmares for a few days.]After she sent the message, she saw the man typing for a long time.After a while, Quinn sent a long voice message. Jenna eagerly p
Running out of the company and jumping in a car, Kevin immediately dialed a number. However, the other party’s phone was switched off.Kevin felt even more anxious.He immediately sped toward the airport, calling a friend to borrow a private jet.At the same time, he browsed Seabright Group’s website for a number and memorized it.After ending the call with his friend, Kevin immediately called this number.It was a little past ten o’clock at Fabell City.Shawn was dining with a few of his business partners in a club when his assistant suddenly walked in and said by his ear, “Mr. Sadler, someone named Kevin Sander is looking for you.”Shawn stopped drinking his wine and glanced at his assistant. “Isn’t he one of Quinn Forester’s men?”“Yes. He said it’s an emergency.”The assistant held the call and asked, “Should I hang up?”Shawn recalled seeing Jenna on the road with Kevin before. He seemed to be the bodyguard Quinn assigned to Jenna. After a few seconds, he got up to take
When Aunt Lily knocked on her door in the morning, Jenna realized her phone was not charged and had shut down due to a loose plug.After washing up, Jenna charged her phone with a power bank.[Aunt Lily, I’m going to the hospital later.]She typed with an iPad Quinn frequently used as her phone was not turned on. [I might be staying overnight.]Aunt Lily came over with a bowl of porridge, glancing at the iPad. “Miss, what are you going there for? Why do you need to stay overnight?”Jenna did not want to worry her, so she typed, [For my throat. The doctor wants me to stay for observation.]Aunt Lily’s movement paused. She then said, “It’s going to rain today. Miss, why don’t I accompany you to the hospital? You never liked the smell of hospitals anyway.”[No need.] Jenna shook her head, and her lips curled up. [Mister said he would return to Hevedburgh at ten o’clock in the morning.]Jenna handed a card to Aunt Lily. [Since I will come back with Mister tomorrow morning, go out t
It was drizzling outside by the time Jenna left the hospital. After she got in her car, Jenna took out her phone to text Kevin, wanting to know what was up. She assumed he was busy as she did not get a reply for a long time.Looking at the time, she messaged Quinn on WhatsApp. [Mister, are you back at Hevedburgh?]Quinn replied quickly, [I just landed. I need to go to the company first.]Jenna smiled. [Granny texted me an hour ago, asking us to come for dinner. I just came out of the hospital. I will go to the Forester family home to accompany Granny later.]Quinn: [Are you feeling well?]Jenna: [I’ve told Dr. Tennyson I’ll admit myself to the hospital at nine in the evening, and you’ll come with me. Don’t leave the company when you’re there. I prepared a surprise for you.]Quinn: [Okay.]After chatting with Quinn, Jenna checked the time again.Thinking of the gift to be delivered to the company and her scheduled social media post, Jenna was excited about what expression Qu
“That’s right! I killed Pete. So what?” Old Madam Forester’s words laid her heart bare, leaving nothing hidden under the sun.Ivy did not want to hide it any longer.She glared at Old Madam Forester with red eyes, saying resentfully, “It’s because he refused to divorce me. I begged him so many times, but he said no!“How can he be so selfish? He knew I dated Quinn for thirteen years and only married him impulsively, but he refused to let me go…“I know I’ve made mistakes, but who hasn’t?” Ivy cried out.Crystal tears welled in her eyes and trickled down her cheeks, evoking sympathy.“I just want to be with the man I love. What’s wrong with it?” Ivy questioned Old Madam Forester. “Didn’t you marry the man you love?“If Pete weren’t so stubborn to refuse to let go, I wouldn’t have done it… I couldn’t be with Quinn as long as he didn’t divorce me.”“You… You…” Old Madam Forester only had a vague guess and tried to set up Ivy. She did not expect Ivy to really be the murderer. “Ivy,
After her body regained sensation, Ivy hurriedly left the study and returned to her room.She panted heavily as she leaned against the door. Thoughts of Old Madam Forester’s sudden death made her heart tremble. She then thought, ‘It was Old Madam Forester who initiated the confrontation. What’s wrong with talking back?’Old Madam Forester’s death had nothing to do with her!The servants knew Old Madam Forester called her to the study. When they went to the study later, they would surely discover her body,Ivy panicked, taking out her phone.Just as she wanted to make a call, she heard the servant’s voice outside. “Miss Jenna, Miss Ivy is talking to Old Madam Forester inside.”Jenna came?Ivy’s movement paused.She cracked the door open a bit and peeked out, seeing the servant leading Jenna to the study before leaving.Jenna knocked and waited for a few seconds before going in.Seeing Jenna enter the study, Ivy’s tense heart suddenly felt relieved. A hint of cruelty appeared
The entire study was in chaos, filled with commotion and noise. Jenna’s brain was still in a fog.Why did Old Madam Forester suddenly pass away?Her trembling hands fished out her phone, wanting to text Quinn. However, a few police officers rushed into the study along with medical personnel.A doctor examined Old Madam Forester and shook his head. “She has left us…”The police surrounding Jenna immediately took out a handcuff and restrained her with a stern expression. “Jenna Radcliff, you are suspected of murder. Please come with us to the station!”Why did the police and doctors arrive so quickly?Jenna was confused. Her mouth opened, but no sound came out. She was forced to leave the Forester family home with the police and got into the police car.On the other side, Quinn was busy with work after he reached the company from the airport, dealing with business matters.Around eleven, Sam knocked and went in, putting a gift box on the table. “Sir, this is from the Winston bran
In the pouring rain, two police cars sped toward the Hevedburgh police station. Jenna sat in the back seat, handcuffed, with two police officers watching her at the side.She cast her eyes downward, looking at her still trembling hands. She had not managed to collect her thoughts yet.How did Granny die?From the moment she entered the study and found Granny’s sudden death to when she tried to call the servants, no more than ten minutes had passed. The police station and hospital were not located near the Forester family home. So how did they arrive so quickly?Recalling when she bumped into Ivy while leaving the study, it seemed as though every expression on her face was deliberately acted out.A dreadful idea crossed Jenna’s mind. She felt a chill rose from the bottom of her heart.While she was lost in her thoughts, the car was violently hit, spinning on the rain-soaked road.Jenna was tossed around inside the police car as she had not fastened her seat belt. She banged her h
