Carina was so angry she nearly threw her teacup at Quinn.“So what if I don’t have a boyfriend? I’m just being cautious!” Carina harrumphed. “I don’t want to end up like Jen, who has such a controlling husband like you who likes to make himself look pitiful, President Forester! It’s terrifying!”“Right?” Jacob agreed and said smilingly, “Doll, you said what I wanted to say.”He placed the peeled crab meat on Carina's plate, then wiped his fingers with a hot towel.“Jen baby, tell me if you ever divorce Quinn one day. I’ll marry you! I’m much more considerate than he is.”Quinn looked up at him and said darkly, “You want to die, don’t you?”“You can’t control his mouth—people will say whatever they want to say.” Carina sighed. “Look at you, President Forester. You’re not just controlling, but you also threaten people willy-nilly.”Jacob put one hand on Carina’s shoulder and sighed. “Do you see how much I suffer being friends with him?”“A lot. Indeed, a lot.” Carina pitied him b
Out of consideration for Jenna’s feet, Quinn bought cotton slippers. The soles were thick but felt soft when she walked.Jenna remained expressionless, but when Quinn reached his hand out after placing her high heels into the box, she let him hold her hand as they walked out together. Carina pocketed the car keys and took Jacob’s arm too. “Let’s go, darling! Seriously!”Jacob chuckled happily.This was the first time he had met a girl with a fun and cute personality like Carina’s. Ever since he entered the seafood restaurant until now, the smile on his face had not faltered once.Carina drove Jenna and Quinn back to Sandalwood Palace before dropping Jacob off.Jenna had been busy the entire day and had spent quite some time at the auction that night too. By the time she got home after supper, she was exhausted.She recalled what happened in the bathroom that day and very firmly rejected Quinn before entering the bathroom alone.She did not want to experience such an embarrassi
Quinn was busy with work in the living area.Sam called him, “Sir, have you seen the news?”“Do you think I’m very idle?” Quinn frowned and said unhappily, “You can deal with it as you see fit.”“This is something I can’t handle myself. It’s about the missus.”The moment Sam was done speaking, Quinn immediately opened Twitter and flipped through the photos of Jenna on the red carpet of the charity auction last night.The photos were all high definition without any filters and were close-ups of Jenna’s face.Jenna looked good no matter from which angle the photos were taken.Quinn only realized when he got to the last few photos that the sequined dress Jenna had been wearing last night was backless and the snow-white skin of her back was exposed.A vein throbbed in Quinn’s forehead.He secretly saved those photos and then instructed Sam via text to deal with Jenna’s red carpet photos.Then, he reopened Twitter and continued scrolling, until he stumbled upon the photos that had
”No.” Quinn did not even blink as he spoke in his low voice, “I was probably spotted when I went to North City to find you a few days ago. And yesterday, you saw that when I went to the auction, those company presidents recognized me and came over to greet me even though I was wearing sunglasses.”When Jenna thought about it, she had to acknowledge it.A lot of the company presidents at last night’s charity auction knew Quinn.When they left, there were reporters outside the hotel.The hospital had previously said Quinn Forester would not be able to wake up, so when those people saw him alive and kicking, they definitely could not resist telling others about it.Jenna dropped Quinn off at the lobby of Sandalwood Palace.As Quinn got out of the car, he turned to ask Jenna, “What do you think about shrimp dumplings for dinner?”Jenna hummed in agreement, then drove off, heading to Elysian’s office.She had just sat down in her office when Carina brought in a cup of coffee and han
Jenna pinched the bridge of her nose and said helplessly, “It’s just a small matter. There’s no need to go that far.”She did not expect Quinn to be so merciless.“Mrs. Symons posted an apology video but tried to bite you back and make the netizens scold you instead. That’s not a small matter anymore.” Carina harrumphed coldly. “She deserves it!”“Oh, right. Mrs. Symons is here in the lobby. Do you want to meet her?”“Yeah.” Jenna set the approved documents aside and her eyes flashed. “Bring her to the meeting room. I’ll go over in a bit.”Carina answered affirmatively and left.Jenna finished her work before going to the meeting room.Mrs. Symons was pacing up and down the meeting room anxiously when she saw Jenna enter the room. She hurriedly walked up to her and forced a smile. “Mrs. Forester, it was my fault. I should not have said those things when Mr. Sander told me to record the apology video. Please forgive me.”Mrs. Symons was deeply regretful.She had held a grudge a
When Mrs. Symons heard that, the arms that were supporting her against the floor started trembling uncontrollably.She had seen the video interview of Jenna and Quinn being surrounded by reporters after exiting the hospital that morning and could tell how much Quinn doted on Jenna.Quinn was also famous within the industry for walking the talk and being ruthless.That meant that even if she begged him, there was no room for maneuver!Right then, the glass door of the meeting room was pushed open and Carina led in a middle-aged man in a suit.“President Radcliff, President Symons of Grennst Corp is here.”Mr. Symons was relieved when he entered the meeting room and saw only Mrs. Symons who was kneeling on the ground and Jenna inside.He strode over and slapped Mrs. Symons viciously as he rebuked her angrily, “Look at what you’ve done! This would have been over if you’d just recorded the apology video like Mrs. Forester’s secretary told you to do, but you had to say those things!
This was the only way out Jenna had offered and he knew that if he did not agree, his company would collapse before long.Mr. Symons tried to negotiate with Jenna. “How about ten percent?”Jenna only smiled. She walked past Mr. Symons, pulled open the glass door, and called Carina in.“Please see Mr. and Mrs. Symons out.”“Alright.” Carina made a gesture of invitation. “This way, Mr. Symons. I’ll escort you and your wife out.”Mr. Symons gritted his teeth at Jenna’s tough attitude and thought to himself that as expected of Quinn Forester’s wife, the way she did things sometimes was exactly like him!“Fine! Twenty percent.” For the sake of his company, Mr. Symons could only back down.Mr. Symons made a call and got his secretary to inform the other shareholders of the company as well as to draw up the share sale agreement as soon as possible and send it over.Jenna waved her hand to dismiss Carina and called Quinn.“What’s up?”Jenna said to him, “Give those few company presid
“What are you doing, Quinn?” Jenna walked over to him.When she got closer, she saw that the kitchen counter on his side was a mess of flour.The container beside him was filled with dumplings of various shapes.“I’m making dumplings.”Quinn noticed her line of sight toward the messy kitchen counter and said somewhat awkwardly, “I was going to use ready-made dumpling skins at first, but they felt thick and had a weird texture, so I looked it up and made my own.”Jenna only noticed that his arm and clothes were also covered in flour when he leaned over. He looked full of vitality.Jenna glanced at the small pot. Plump dumplings were boiling in it and she could faintly smell the fragrance of it.She was surprised for a moment, her eyes twinkling. “I thought you were going to order takeout when you said we’d have shrimp dumplings for dinner. It turns out you were going to make them yourself!”Quinn hummed. “It’s pretty easy to make the filling because the recipe has the ratios lis
