Jenna turned and was just about to leave when Carina caught up to her. She told Carina, “You don’t have to follow me, just stay here.” “No.” Carina stated solemnly, “You’re looking for a personal assistant, aren’t you? My job is to always stay by your side and take care of things for you.” Before Jenna could further protest, Carina had marched to the elevator. After the door opened, she stepped by the door to prevent it from closing, allowing Jenna to enter. Jenna was a little annoyed but seeing as Carina insisted on following her, she passed her the car keys. When Carina got to the garage and saw the limited-edition Pagani, she expressed excitedly, “Being a driver is the best, you get to drive expensive cars, yay!” Jenna could not hold back her laughter. The area Ivy lived in was a high-income district located in the city center. Most of the residents in the area were either celebrities or government officials. The security was very strict in the area but Jenna had a
Ivy grinned and fixed a look on Jenna. “You’re the one he bumped into at the hospital and the one that he likes. You know this very well so why even bother coming here to rave about it? Why would I go to see a man who doesn’t even like me?” “If he doesn't like you, why did you give Shawn the violin when he showed you the video? Why did you get so upset when you watched the video of me with Quinn?” Jenna struck back. When she saw the way Ivy pursed her lips tightly, she leaned forward to close in the distance between the two of them. “I know what you’ve been thinking ever since I went to see the old madam and heard about your past with Quinn. I know that you never liked him. “You only stuck with him because you knew he could give you everything you wanted. You knew that he would inherit all the fortunes of the Foresters, that he’s your ladder to the top, to becoming the infamous ‘Mrs. Forester’. I’m sure you weren’t expecting things to take a sharp turn when it did…” Jenn
Madam Langham trembled with anger. “Jenna, how dare you! Aren’t you afraid of my son…” “Do you want your daughter to die?” Jenna cut her off and reached for a pill inside the pocket of her suit. “Jen, let me hold the phone for you.” Carina went up to Jenna and took the phone from her to free up her hands. She aimed the camera at Ivy. Jacob leaned nonchalantly against the doorframe and watched with an amused look. He thought about how Sam was probably the only one in Elysian Group secretarial department who would not be scared out of their wits if they came with Jenna and witnessed this scene. However, not only was Carina not scared, but she even went up to help without being prompted to. Very interesting indeed. The moment Ivy saw the pill in Jenna's hand, she tensed up. “Go ahead and try!” Jenna accepted the challenge and proceeded to pry her mouth open. On the other end of the feed, Madam Langham, who realized that Jenna was serious, cried out, “I beg you,
"Jenna, I beg you, please let my mom go…” Ivy cried and pleaded, “I’ll apologize. You can do whatever you want to me, just stop torturing an old lady her age…” Jenna bent over Ivy and wiped away her tears. “It's painful, isn't it? Do you remember what you did back then when I kept begging you to let Kevin go? If it wasn’t for you sending your people after me and Kevin, we would have made it out of the country. What would I have possibly done to you after I escaped overseas?” She could still remember seeing Kevin die in her arms. Her heart throbbed with pain the moment she recalled the picture. “I’m not an evil person by nature, but I must get revenge for what you did to me.” She added, “You were the one who brought this to yourself.” Suddenly, a thought came to her. She turned to Jacob. “Do you have a cigarette?” Jacob fumbled in the pocket of his coat before producing a pack of cigarettes. He handed it to Jenna and asked curiously, “Why do you need cigarettes?” Jenna
By the time the three of them left the house, it was already dark outside. Jacob yawned before resting his arm on Carina's shoulders and remarked while playfully flicking his finger against her cheeks, “I’ve been busy all afternoon for your boss, don’t you think you owe me a proper feast?” “Alright.” Carina considered for a moment before offering, “How about I treat you to some lobsters? This food stall I went to the other day serves amazing lobster!” Jacob made a look and smiled endearingly. “I would eat anything as long as it’s tasty.” Jenna suddenly smacked Jacob's hand off Carina's shoulder with her bag, then she pulled her aside. “Don't get too close to Jacob, this is the second time he touched you already.” “It's alright.” Carina gestured with a smile. “He likes men anyway. I’m just like one of the girls as far as he’s concerned!” Jenna burst out laughing. Jacob grimaced slightly when he heard this. He suddenly marched up to them and pulled Carina into his
Carina was no match for Jacob. Whenever she finished peeling a prawn, Jacob would eat it the moment she was not paying attention, which infuriated her.In the end, she had no choice but to peel prawns for both Jenna and Jacob, one at a time.That was the only way Jacob would stop stealing the prawns.Once they were done eating, Jenna got Shawn to send Carina home while she called a taxi to go to the hospital.She nodded at the men guarding Quinn’s hospital room before entering it.She had not been there in only two weeks. Although the man in the hospital bed was still sleeping soundly, it seemed somewhat unfamiliar to her when she stepped in.Jenna went to the bathroom to wash her face. Then, she sat by Quinn’s bedside and looked at him quietly.He had been unconscious for more than a month now, and there were still no signs of him waking up. A faint sadness enveloped Jenna’s heart.Jacob told her Quinn had the best chance of waking up within a month. If he did not wake up duri
Not having spoken for more than a month, Quinn’s voice was very hoarse.Jacob made a surprised sound and quickly leaned toward the hospital bed. He waved his hand in front of Quinn’s eyes. “Quinn, how many fingers am I holding up?”Quinn seemed to realize something and said calmly, “I can’t see.”Jacob’s expression suddenly became serious.He was an excellent doctor, but that did not mean he knew everything. He got Shawn to stay with Quinn while he got the ophthalmologist.Shawn glanced at Quinn and calmly picked up the fork on the table. Once he got close to the hospital bed, he suddenly stabbed the fork toward Quinn’s eyes.However, Quinn grabbed Shawn’s wrist tightly.Quinn was so calm that he did not even blink. “Shawn Sadler, I might not be able to see, but I can hear.”Seeing that Quinn was not pretending to be blind, Shawn pulled his hand back and sneered. “Who would’ve thought that the renowned President of Elysian Group would become disabled from a car accident and is
Shawn was stunned for a moment before he immediately understood.How could he mock Quinn earlier? He was no better than him.“There’d better not be.” Shawn pushed up his glasses, his tone thick with warning. “If Jen gets hurt even a little, I won’t let you off!”Just as the two finished talking, Jacob rushed in with another doctor.Shawn pushed up his sleeves, about to pick Jenna up off the bed. However, Quinn kept his hand at her waist.“Let go! It’s inconvenient for the doctor to check your eyes if she’s lying here.”“He doesn’t need to get on the bed to check my eyes.” Quinn said, “And she’s my wife.”“Wife, my ass!” Shawn’s expletives popped out. “You’re really fucking shameless, making a collaboration sound so good!”“Bro, calm down…” Jacob pushed Shawn to the side with one hand, gesturing with the other for the other doctor to check Quinn’s eyes. “He can’t walk, and now he’s blind. Why are you arguing with a disabled man?”Shawn slapped Jacob’s hand away and said with a
