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
Quinn glanced at the hickey on his shoulder and laughed soundlessly. “Then shall I carry you to the shower?”“I’ll go by myself in a bit.” Jenna saw that he was not going to continue messing around and harrumphed coldly.She took an envelope from the bedside table and handed it to him.Quinn had a bad feeling when he saw this envelope. He looked at Jenna.Jenna tickled the bottom of Quinn’s chin and smiled faintly. “Don’t you want to know what it is?”“No.” Quinn swallowed.“Open it. We’re husband and wife, after all. You should see what’s inside.” Jenna gave him a look. “Or shall I open it for you?”As she said that, she began to unravel the string that was keeping it closed.Quinn took the envelope from her and said hoarsely, “I’ll do it.”This document was like a time bomb to him, but he could only force himself to unravel the string.He reached inside and took out a few pieces of paper. When he saw that it was not what he originally expected to see, he secretly breathed a
“I don’t want that,” Quinn said helplessly. He looked at her earnestly and determinedly.“I’m loyal to my marriage and the person I love.”Jenna coldly harrumphed. “How are you loyal? You dated Ivy for so long but didn’t you still get tired of her and break up with her?”Quinn’s mouth twitched. “Why do you love bringing that up?”“Why, did I hit the nail on the head?” Jenna asked with a raised eyebrow, a carefree and generous look on her face. “If you want to get back together with her, I don’t mind di—”Without waiting for Jenna to finish saying something that would piss him off even more, Quinn covered her mouth with his.He rolled over and pressed her under him, kissing her deeply and punishingly, almost suffocating her.In the end, to her embarrassment, Jenna cried and begged Quinn with teary eyes. She did not dare to joke around with him anymore.“Now you know to be afraid?” Quinn harrumphed coldly.“I know, I won’t bring it up again.” Jenna wiped her tears on his shoulde
