Jenna sneered. "Ivy, you should know better than me how Grandma died. As soon as I entered the study, you came in right behind me. Was that a coincidence?” Ivy's face darkened immediately, she clenched her jaw. They were on the phone and many other parties were listening in on their conversation. The more Jenna rattled on, the more disadvantageous it was to Ivy since there were other people present. She decided to stop bickering with Jenna and ordered severely, “Strip her and take pictures!” "Ivy, are these cheap, disgusting tricks all you know?” Jenna began to wriggle the moment the men touched her body, she cried out, “It was Quinn's grandmother who died! If it’s anyone who should deal with me, it should be Quinn himself since I’m his wife! What makes you think you are in the position to punish me?” After a pause, she said with a scoff, “Do you still think you are his ex-girlfriend? You are only pregnant with his brother's child. Have some decency and mind yourself!
Jenna intentionally drawled her speech at this point. “That the hibiscus tattoo on his chest was drawn by me? I had someone do the tattoo for him after I designed it. You better start working your charms and start crying to him to see if he would remove the tattoo for you. Otherwise, think of how awful it would be to see the tattoo every time you hug him and be reminded of it!” The moment Jenna brought this up, Ivy’s thought instantly went to the tattoo on Quinn's body. The thought of them getting a tattoo together to commemorate their relationship made her go crazy. She almost wanted to smash her phone. Then she clenched her jaw and cried out, "Hurry up already, got that?” The man with the cigarettes knelt in front of Jenna. He ruthlessly pressed the lit-up end of the cigarette onto one of the letters on Jenna’s waist. Her flesh was scalded and the pain quickly spread from the waist to her entire body. She had to bite her lip to prevent herself from screaming. Her entir
The others tensed up immediately when they saw the instant killing blow. Kevin did not intend to let any of them get away with what they had done. His agile figure zipped through the rain and tore through them. He did not need to resort to any fancy tricks. All he used were simple and deadly punches or kicks. Before long, bodies were piled on the ground. "Kevin!" Someone suddenly roared furiously. It was accompanied by the click of a gun. Kevin turned around and saw that one of the men who he had just beaten had got up. He had one of his arms wrapped around Jenna’s neck and a gun pressed to her temples. His finger was clenched around the trigger. With just one slight movement, the bullet would shoot right through Jenna's head. The man watched Kevin rooted to the same spot and glared at him. Even after ensuring that Kevin would not move, he did not lower his guard and told his accomplices who could still move to get up and pick up the phone on the ground. The phone w
When Ivy thought about how Kevin had sworn unending loyalty to Jenna, she began to feel upset again. “If you’re not going to swear loyalty to me, so be it! Only you or Jenna will get to live today!” She hissed sharply. She shot a look at the man next to Kevin. The man immediately went to the car and rummaged around looking for something. Then, he found a capsule and handed it to Kevin. Upon hearing what Ivy said, Jenna suddenly regained clarity in her mind. She began to struggle mightily and screamed for Kevin to not take the capsule. She shouted at the phone so Ivy could hear her, "Ivy, you can take it out on me, break my hands and legs if you want, just don’t do anything to him! Let him go!” “He wants me to let you go, and you want me to let him go, who should I listen to?” Ivy said with a wry smile, “Are you sure you want to die?” The man who was restraining Jenna began to squeeze the trigger of the gun a little tighter. Kevin's heart tightened. He immediately snat
It was Sam who rescued him when he was young. He did not have a family and thought of Sam as his brother. Growing up, he never disobeyed Sam no matter what he told him to do. Then, he met the girl whose smile could light up the whole world. Her smile was the sweetest thing he knew. She would play games with him and remember his favorite food. Being with her made him feel like a living person instead of feeling like an emotionless machine. He was lucky to have come to Hevedburgh and get to meet her. The time he spent with her was the best period in his life. He loved the girl deeply and was willing to give up everything for her. “I know, I know…” Jenna caressed his cold and pale cheeks. She said with her lips trembling, “Don’t die, you told me you would take me to Khoal, and you said there was a beautiful sea there. I’ll take you to the hospital, you’ll be fine…” She took Kevin and tried to pull him up in her arms. She forgot that her legs were still bound and ended up tu
“No, he’s not dead! Please, doctor, you have to save him!” Jenna held the doctor’s hand and got on her knees. “He’s only in his twenties, he can’t die yet, I beg you…” “I’m sorry, but there’s truly nothing I can do.” The doctor shrugged her hand away. Jenna looked at the body inside the car, her eyes were filled with tears and her vision was turning blurry. She turned to Sam, “Please, Sam, help me save Kevin.” Sam did not respond. He had to suppress the enormous grief in his heart while he pulled a white cloth over the deceased Kevin. Jenna was still on her knees and crying her heart out. She did not want Kevin's body to be cremated in this city. She was distraught during her journey back to Hevedburgh with Sam. Hevedburgh was Kevin’s hometown. She could not even pluck the courage to step into the funeral parlor. She stood outside and watched Sam and the funeral house staff bring Kevin’s body inside. Her tears had long run out by this point. She only looked on wi
Blood? A thought suddenly came to Quinn while the look in his eyes sharpened. He suddenly stepped forward and carried Jenna in his arms before walking to the exit. Jenna let him have his way with her, her arms dangling by the side of her body. She was completely drained and out of it. The blood flowing out of her lower body dropped to the floor. It was a sharp crimson red. When Ivy saw the blood on the ground, the look in her eyes changed. She turned to the helper and asked, “Was that blood...flowing out from between Jenna's legs?” “Yes…” The servant was frightened by what she saw and answered with some hesitation. Before she could finish her sentence, Ivy suddenly trembled all over. She shoved the helper away before hobbling over to catch up with Quinn. Quinn took Jenna to the emergency room. When a doctor showed up and noticed Jenna's skirt covered with blood and the color drained out of her face, he immediately sensed what was happening. He immediately called over
“Jenna Radcliff is suspected of murder and is a wanted fugitive.” The policeman accused her sharply. “Murder?” Shawn chuckled stiffly. He pried the button of the collar of his shirt loose so he could breathe easier. “I heard Madam Forester died a very sudden death. There can be a lot of causes for that. Just because Jenna happened to be alone with her, you guys are pinning her death on Jenna? You police are terrible at your jobs.” The police did not take to Shawn’s insult and mockery very well. “Sir, I need to remind you that you are obstructing law enforcement!” The policeman signaled at his fellow policemen with a look, who then promptly produced a handcuff from his belt. The man standing next to Shawn who was dressed in a suit immediately stepped forward and said with a gentle and polite smile, “Officers, Mr. Shawn is just raising some of his suspicions. I don’t think it’s right to jump to conclusions right away and arrest him. Besides...” He gestured at something o
