When Jenna heard that, she laughed. “Ivy is a world-renowned violinist. This violin is very valuable for her collection. I thought you’d have to wear her down for at least half an hour.”“She’s terrified Quinn will find out about it,” Shawn said as he observed Jenna’s expression. “She cares about Quinn a lot.”Jenna’s smile grew brighter. “Yes, I can tell.”Shawn grew up with Jenna. He could tell what she was thinking from the expression on her face. Now that the questions in his heart were answered, Shawn’s mood suddenly brightened. He pulled open the car door and spoke in his low voice, “Jen, I’ll bring you to meet someone I think you’ll want to meet very much.”“Okay.” Jenna got into his car with the violin.She did not know who he was taking her to meet and did not ask either as if she trusted him completely, leaving everything up to him.Shawn’s chest tingled. He would do anything if Jenna could keep trusting him like this and their relationship could go back to the way it
After that, Jenna hung up the call without waiting for Jacqueline’s response. She put her phone on the table and sipped her fruit tea. Shortly after, Shawn came into the rooftop garden.Shawn sat down beside her. “You sent the video to Jacqueline?”“Yeah. She was pissed as soon as she saw the video.” Jenna’s red lips curled up. “She said she knew why Quinn married me, claiming my family was destitute, and it is very easy to deal with me.”Shawn picked up his now cold coffee and drank. "Quinn didn't make you sign a prenuptial agreement, which is why you haven't divorced him."He was not asking a question. Shawn was sure of it.“Quinn is the head of the Forester family, one of the four major families in Portica, and the boss of Elysian Group. He is worth over a hundred billion, holds considerable power, and is the one Ivy cares the most about.” Since Shawn had guessed it, Jenna did not hide anything. “I want to use his hands to deal with the Langham family and destroy everything Ivy
As Jacqueline was Old Madam Forester’s beloved daughter, Quinn held a deep respect for her. However, Jacqueline could sense Quinn’s killing intent hidden beneath his cold exterior.She sneered and pulled out the chair next to her, sitting down. “Quinn, I’m not just your Auntie. If it weren’t for me standing on your side back then, do you think you could have taken control of the Forester family?“What? You’re going to cut me off over an insignificant woman?”“She is not insignificant. She is my wife.”Quinn repeated it with a calm voice. “Auntie, if you have a grudge against the Sadler family, go ahead and deal with Shawn Sadler however you want. I won’t intervene in the slightest. However, you are not to touch Jenna again.”Hearing about the Sadler family, Jacqueline’s expression fell. Even her eyes trembled slightly.“If it weren’t for Mom, you wouldn’t be where you are today,” Jacqueline said. “When Mom passed away, only Jenna was in the room. However, you ordered the police t
Sam frowned with concern. “Miss Jacqueline manages the subsidiary company in Yorknew City and handles the clients. She’s also aware of Elysian’s clients and some confidential cooperations. She will definitely take this information to Sebastian…”“Don’t bother about that. Just do what you need to do.” Quinn’s expression was calm. It was as if he was not worried about what Sam said.He handed a document to Sam. “Contact this person and arrange a meeting with them. I’ll treat them to a meal.”“Understood.”After Sam left, Quinn took his phone and dialed a number.……Around six in the evening, Quinn returned to Sandalwood Palace.After changing his shoes and entering the house, he saw Jenna snuggled on the sofa, reading a book.She occasionally picked up a grape from the fruit platter and threw it into her mouth.Jenna wore a casual cotton dress, her legs propped up on the sofa. As her dress’s length only reached her calves, a portion of her fair and slender legs were exposed when
“Didn’t he fracture Aunt Lily’s grandson’s bones? I let Shawn break his limbs and fed him the same poison Aunt Lily put in my food. I even sent a video to Jacqueline.“Mr. Forester, I know Jacqueline is your aunt, and I can’t touch her. However, the pain I suffered can’t be for nothing.” Jenna stared at Quinn without a blink. “Mr. Forester, you won’t blame me, will you?”Quinn had planned to ask Jenna about it after coming home.Now that she had laid it out all clearly, he was in no position to say anything else.His expression did not change as he said, “Look for Sam next time. Don’t be so close to Shawn.”“Okay.” Jenna’s lips curved upwards. She took the bowl beside Quinn’s hand and filled it with soup for him. “This soup tastes good. Drink some more, Mr. Forester.”Quinn’s fork paused in mid-air. He looked at her and raised an eyebrow. “Can you change how you address me?”Jenna mumbled, “You call me what you want every day. Do I complain? Fine, I will stick to Quinn, okay?”
The more frustrated and furious Ivy became, the more composed and calm Jenna appeared.She said lightly, “Is that so? Why don’t you tell Quinn that the girl he met in the hospital fourteen years ago was not you but me? Let’s see what expression he’ll have, then.”“Jenna!” Ivy growled. “I returned you that violin. Have you forgotten your oath?”“Of course, I haven’t forgotten. I don’t want to die right now either.” Jenna chuckled.“But Ivy, I’m younger and prettier than you, and I am the one married to Quinn. As for you, you’ve become the Forester family’s third daughter-in-law and are pregnant with another man’s child. What do you think you have that Quinn would be attracted to?”Her words hit Ivy where it hurt.She shouted, “Shut up! Shut up!”Jenna not only heard Ivy’s furious shout. She could also clearly hear the sound of things smashing on the other end of the phone. Her red lips curled into a higher arc.“Ivy, no matter how hard you try to convince Quinn, he won’t divorce
Quinn reached out for the phone and saw the ongoing video call.When Ivy saw Quinn on the screen, she let out a scream. “Quinn, don’t touch Jenna! I forbid you…”“Quinn… Don’t touch her, okay?” Not getting any response from the man, Ivy started to beg while crying. After a few sentences, she suddenly groaned in pain. Soon, the servant’s panicked voice sounded. “Miss Langham, what’s going on?”Quinn could tell that chaos had erupted on the other end just from the sound. However, he did not seem to care about it, ending the call as he looked at Jenna on the bed. His eyes were as dark as the night. “Why were you video calling with Ivy?”“Ivy called when you were in the bath. She didn’t believe I was with you.” Jenna sat up on the bed cross-legged, looking innocent. “She insisted on a video call.”Quinn leaned in. His palm suddenly gripped the back of Jenna’s head and pulled her towards him.“That’s why you kissed me?” Thinking of what Jenna did, Quinn nearly wanted to strangle her
After the servant saw Quinn leave the house, she went back to sleep. The next day, she noticed that his usual leather shoes were missing from the entrance, and his coat was not on the hanger. It seemed Quinn had not returned all night.Hearing that, Jenna merely smiled faintly. “He probably had urgent business to attend to.”The servant stole a glance at Jenna. Quinn’s expression did not seem like he had urgent business. It looked more like he was angered. Did they quarrel in the room last night?However, these thoughts remained unspoken in the servant’s heart, who dared not gossip.After breakfast, Jenna messaged Sam to ask about the cemetery’s location. Looking at the cemetery’s name sent by Sam, her eyes started to water.Her parents and grandmother were also buried there.While driving to the cemetery, Jenna stopped by a dessert shop and bought two boxes of cream puffs.Since she had been to this cemetery twice, there was no need for navigation. She arrived quickly using
