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
Quinn not only gave him a lifesaving sum of money at his most difficult time. He also learned much after following Quinn.Sam went from being a middle school dropout to earning his Ph.D. and broadening his horizons. He was promoted from Quinn’s driver to the head of Elysian’s secretary department and no longer needed to worry about basic needs. Due to his gratitude toward Quinn, he decided to keep Kevin by his side and work for Quinn after picking him up from a trash bin and raising him into an adult. Even despite knowing that Kevin was talented and needed by many organizations. Sam planned to set Kevin free after two years. He would let him do whatever he wanted and marry any woman he chose. However, he never expected Kevin to fall for Jenna.Sam never told Jenna his story and why he was absolutely loyal to Quinn. Jenna had thought he had grown up with Quinn and had no idea about the harsh conditions of his childhood. If Quinn had not given him a hand and changed his life, h
At Elysian, Sam was so preoccupied with work that he could not keep up with the online gossip. Instead, he heard it from the other secretaries. After a look at Twitter, he felt like his life was on the line.Why could Jenna just not have deleted the tweet? Her revenge was too cruel, with Shawn even retweeting and responding!Miss Brown from the Translation Department messaged him. [Mr. Sander, wasn’t Jenna dating your brother? Why’s she back with her ex-husband?]Sam was taken aback. [When did Kevin date Jenna? Why didn’t I know about it?]Miss Brown: [Why else would your brother treat her so well?]Jenna did not want to publicly announce her marriage with Quinn and hoped for the least amount of people to be aware of it. As Quinn’s secretary, it was not his place to interfere.He brushed Miss Brown off by saying that Kevin and Jenna were just friends.Sam was busy until the afternoon. He only took the opportunity to share this news with Quinn when he went to the president’s of
Jenna rested at home for two days and resumed working at Elysian once her leg injury was almost healed.At this time, quite a few colleagues had arrived at the Translation Department. Some were arranging documents, while some were chatting. When they noticed Jenna, who was dressed in a black suit, one of them was stunned and exclaimed, “Jenna, you’re back to work already?”Jenna?After the colleague’s words fell, the others turned to look at Jenna with widened eyes. It was as if they had heard something astonishing.After what happened, they thought Jenna would not come to work anymore. “Yeah. Good morning.” Jenna smiled and greeted the colleague.She walked to her desk and sat down.The department had been buzzing with chatter. Now, everyone was silently staring at her, making no noise.Jenna realized the unusual atmosphere as she put down her bag. She raised her eyes and glanced at her colleagues. With a smile, she said, “I wasn’t feeling well. I also sprained my ankle not
