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
“Oh, right. What do you want to eat for lunch, Quinn?” Jenna asked Quinn.“I’ve been tied up by you and I can’t even eat breakfast, so what do you mean lunch?” Quinn coaxed her, “Let me go, Sweetheart, and I’ll make lunch for you. Okay?”Jenna smiled faintly. “I’ll just eat at the office. You don’t have to worry about that. Since you don’t want to eat lunch, just forget it then. When I get back, I’ll grab dinner for you. And if you sleep, you won’t feel hungry anymore.”She leaned down to kiss his jaw.Quinn could smell the fragrance of Jenna’s body and felt like something was tickling his heart. He raised his head to kiss her, but Jenna stepped back nimbly.“I’m off to work, Quinn.” Jenna waved at him and left the bedroom.Quinn moved his right foot and the rope tightened, wrapping around his ankle tightly. He felt incredibly helpless as he looked at the chandelier above him.Jenna’s vengefulness was getting stronger and stronger.When Jenna got to the office, Carina was right
Quinn replied: [Walter Langham got some insider information that Whitham is going to be designated as a free trade zone, complete with plans for an airport and high-speed rail station. Artem will lead this initiative, transforming it into a thriving economic zone, so Walter Langham mortgaged everything he could and borrowed a lot of money from others. He spent three billion dollars to buy that piece of land.]Jenna carefully read Quinn’s latest message twice.She was very smart and quickly understood.Jenna: [The insider information he received was fake?]Quinn: [I’ve said all I should. My wife is so smart, I’m sure you know what to do next.]He said it so clearly that Jenna knew.This billion-dollar project had already emptied Langham Corporation’s coffers, so if any of their other projects had issues, they would fall heavily into debt.It would be a fall they would not be able to get up from and Walter would even have to go to jail.A perfect plan had already formed in Jenna’
It was sunny and a little hot out. Since it was the weekend, there were quite a number of people at the amusement park.As the automatic ticket machine was malfunctioning, the park arranged for two employees to check the tickets. They were slow, so soon, many visitors had gathered, waiting in line for their tickets to be checked.As they were waiting in line, Quinn noticed that Jenna’s jeans did not cover her legs entirely and exposed a small section of her fair calves and ankles.He dug out a bottle of sunscreen from the bag and squatted to apply sunscreen to her legs.There happened to be a young couple lined up behind them.The girl saw Quinn’s considerate actions and was very envious as she muttered to her boyfriend, “Look at that girl’s boyfriend. He’s applying sunscreen on his girlfriend’s legs. Now look at you!”The guy glanced at Quinn and scratched the back of his head unhappily. “I’m only twenty and this is my first time dating. It’s a given that I don’t know these thin
Quinn watched all this with great pleasure.He took the empty lemonade cup from Jenna and threw it in the nearby rubbish bin. Then, holding the umbrella with one hand, he took her other hand and walked into the amusement park.He said in a low voice, “Sweetheart, will you call me that again?”Jenna ignored him.After they got their tickets validated, Quinn grabbed a map from the rack nearby which also indicated the most popular attractions.Quinn had never been to an amusement park like this. Now that he was here, looking at the park full of children, he was even less interested.However, for Jenna’s sake, Quinn accompanied her to every attraction.When they rode the roller coaster, Jenna screamed excitedly. However, Quinn grabbed her hand tightly the whole way through and was frowning the entire time, even until they got off the roller coaster.Jenna opened a bottle of water and handed it to him. “Are you afraid of heights? Is that why you were so scared of the roller coaster?
