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
Jenna stood dumbstruck. She never expected Kevin to take such a risk and kill Ivy's father just to make a statement for her. What had she done to deserve this? For this man to unhesitatingly turn his back on his brother to protect her? The edges of her eyes were frayed red. She picked up her phone, wanting to type something. However, she did not know how to phrase what she wanted to say. Her fingers ended up holding down the ‘w’ button on the screen. Kevin wanted to wipe away her tears for her. His hand jerked briefly but did not lift them in the end. He then spoke, "I was the one who failed to protect you in the past and made you get hurt. It won’t happen again. “Even if Boss keeps letting Ivy have her way, I won’t be so kind if she lays a finger on you. Anyway, it's getting late. Go to bed. “We’re leaving on a boat in two days.” Jenna nodded.After brushing her teeth, she still was not sleepy. She sat on the edge of the bed and typed a message on her phone. [
Kevin leaned over and pressed a key that made several pictures pop up on the laptop display. The quality of the pictures were excellent. However, Jenna did not recognize the people in them except one. She was only framed halfway into the picture and was in the middle of speaking to a young lady standing in front. “Is that Aunt Lily?” Kevin gestured at the middle-aged woman in the picture that was only half visible. “When I was checking the surveillance footage, I found out that Jacqueline’s driver had been in contact with the young lady in front of Aunt Lily in this picture… Jen, did Aunt Lily ever do anything to you when you were at home?” After a pause, he asked again, “For example, have you ever felt any discomfort when she was around? Has she ever touched your phone or your computer?” It was harrowing enough for Jenna to find out she was nothing but a tool in that man’s hand. Now that Kevin had shown this to her, she realized there was a pain worse than the previou
[Aunt Lily never touched my phone or my computer. My throat...] Jenna thought for a moment, then began typing. [She went to Fabell City to see her grandson and returned after two days. A few days after that, I began to feel a constant sting in my throat. All this time, I assumed my vocal cords were damaged by that man strangling me.] [When I went to the hospital for an examination, the doctor told me that the damage done to my vocal cords was not serious and that I would recover in time. Even when I got back to Hevedburgh, my voice still hadn’t returned.] “Aunt Lily must have tampered with your food and damaged your vocal cords that way,” Kevin determined. "It's alright. You’ll never have to eat her cooking again. I’ll take you to the hospital when we get to Yendrow.” Jenna stared at Kevin for a while, which made him self-conscious. He touched his face, “Is there something on my face?" Jenna shook her head. [Thank you, Kevin.] “I just hope what I said wasn’t too harsh
