“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
Kevin nodded and carried Jenna to his car. The car soon drove out of the tunnel.Meanwhile, Shawn returned to his car, turned the wheel, and drove straight into the approaching police vehicles.Not long after he had driven away, Kevin received a call from Sam.“Kevin! Didn’t I ask you to stay in Verdanya?” After the call connected, Sam scolded, “I can’t believe you sneaked back and took Jenna away. Have you gone mad?”“I’m not mad. You’re the mad one, big bro.” Kevin said, “You might work for Boss, but you are still human. Jenna is a human too.“Don’t you find it cruel, playing with a person’s feelings?”“Kevin Sander!” Sam could not suppress the anger in his heart. “Don’t interfere with her and President Forester. Stay out of this matter and bring her back now.”“Big bro, this is the last time I’m calling you. Thank you.” Kevin hung up and threw his phone out of the window.Jenna did not understand Shawn’s conversation with Kevin just now, and it was the same with Kevin and Sa
After drinking half of the bottle, Kevin stared at her, his gaze deep and complex.“Jen, why did you marry Boss?”Jenna was stunned.She lowered her head and typed out the truth without hiding anything. [Quinn said he could reclaim the Seabright Group from Shawn’s hand for me within half a year. In return, I married him so he could satisfy Granny.]“I knew it…” Kevin chuckled dryly and asked, “Did Jacob ever tell you why he’s drawing your blood?”Jenna nodded. [He has a patient with the same blood type as mine who was seriously ill. He wanted to store some of my blood in case an accident happened during his surgery, causing excessive blood loss.]“Jen.” Kevin’s voice trembled, unsure how to reveal the harsh truth. “You were deceived.”What?Jenna looked up at him, her eyes filled with confusion. She did not understand.Kevin took a slow breath and met Jenna’s gaze, saying with pity, “Boss didn’t marry you for Old Madam Forester. Ivy also has the Rhnull blood type. He kept you
“Alright.” Kevin agreed without hesitation before telling Jenna, “I’ll take you to Khoal, where the weather is warm all year, and you can see the beautiful sea. You’ll like it there.” Jenna nodded. She would go anywhere as long as she could leave this place. Upon noticing Jenna in a bad mood, Kevin opened a bag of snacks and handed it to her.“Eat,” he told her. “Or you won’t have any energy to walk.” After that, he went to inspect the hotel room. He found two hidden cameras, one inside the bathroom and the other underneath the cable box. He took care of them right away. “Jen, do you want to take a shower?” It was pouring rain when they left Hevedburgh, and Jenna was soaked. Until now, she had not found time to properly sort herself out. He noticed Jenna curled up in the chair with her legs crossed. It seemed she did not hear him, so he repeated himself. Still, Jenna did not respond. That was when he realized something was off. He walked up to Jenna and lo
Upon hearing the doctor’s statement, Kevin took a sharp breath. “Can it be cured?” “It can not. This sort of damage is irreversible.” The doctor shook his head and delivered a morbid sentence. “Chances are that she’s never going to hear from her left ear again.” The damage was irreversible. It went to show just how hard Ivy slapped Jenna. After leaving the private hospital, Kevin took Jenna somewhere to get lunch. After that, they returned to the same hotel they checked into. Kevin took a fake identification card and told Jenna before heading out, "I'm going out to buy the boat tickets and take care of some things, so I probably won’t be back until late. Stay inside the room. You can watch TV if you’d like and call the front desk if you need anything. This place is safe.” Kevin was not only excellent at counter-surveillance, he was also a master at laying traps. If he willed it, even state security could not find him. This was why he felt safe enough to leave Jenna
