Sam’s expression immediately became stern. “How do you know of Miss Langham?”Kevin shrugged. “While I don’t follow Boss Quinn around often, that doesn’t mean I’m deaf and blind. I know basically everything about Miss Langham and Boss Quinn’s past together.”“Big Bro, this accident wasn’t aimed at Boss Quinn, was it?” He suddenly asked.Seeing Sam did not reply, Kevin put the food in his hand down, and as if saying to himself, “The old madam wants a grandson. Though, considering Boss Quinn’s methods, couldn’t he have just hired a surrogate?“Moreover, didn’t the last two ladies just fake married Boss Quinn? Why did he have to formally register his marriage with Jenna?” Kevin said as a thought formed in his mind. “Is it because Miss Langham—”“That’s enough! Shut your mouth!” Sam shouted.To the left of the hall were the helpers’ living quarters. Although they were all likely asleep at this time of night, Sam did not want Kevin’s words to be overheard coincidentally by anyone.Af
Jenna returned the phone to Kevin and was about to pick up her orange juice when her phone on the table lit up.It was a message from an unknown number.[It’s Yvonne Nelson. I have evidence that Shawn Sadler killed your parents. If you want it, give me three million dollars in exchange!]As she read that message, Jenna’s eyes widened.When she went with Quinn Forester to the hotel, she found out that it was Yvonne who had dealt with the evidence, and her parents did not die in an accident.However, the last time Kevin hacked into Yvonne’s phone and computer, Jenna asked him to check carefully. However, they found nothing.Now, Yvonne was making the first move to contact her.Jenna suppressed the eagerness in her heart to agree and replied, [How are you sure I can afford the three million dollars? With this in your hands, you could get much more than three million from Shawn Sadler.]She did not believe Yvonne would have such an important piece of blackmail on Shawn Sadler but i
Kevin had never seen Miss Langham before, but seeing the way Quinn Forester was behaving, he was almost positive about the identity of the woman beside Quinn.Hearing Kevin curse, Jenna frowned. “It is really Quinn?”Though, in her impression, Quinn was constantly wearing an apathetic expression and liked to look down on others. He had never seemed as gentle as he was appearing now.“The woman beside Quinn…” Jenna suppressed the strange emotions in her heart and asked, “Is that his first wife?”After marrying Quinn, Jenna had read up on the Foresters’ background.She knew the Foresters had their roots in Portica and were one of Portica’s famous four great families. As the laws there were somewhat outdated in comparison, the previous generations of Forester men always took more than one wife.Originally, during Quinn Forester’s grandfather’s generation, he ordered that his descendants could only have one wife.Then came the worldwide economic crisis, which greatly impacted the Fo
Jenna, thinking that Yvonne Nelson had changed her number and was contacting her, immediately accepted the call.“Hello?”“Is this Miss Jenna Radcliff?” The other party asked politely.Realizing it was not Yvonne, her heart sank. She hummed in acknowledgment. “It is. May I know what you’re calling for?”“I’m from Elysian Group’s HR department,” the person said courteously. “We’re very interested in your resume. Are you free at 9 a.m. on Thursday for an interview at Elysian?”Jenna remembered she had sent Sam her resume but did not expect she would receive a call so soon.“I am. Do I need to bring any materials with me?”After Jenna finished her studies and returned from Dresark, she had never really worked. Once in a while, she would go overseas to help Shawn Sadler but had never interviewed at other companies before.She noted down the materials she needed to bring to the interview, and after chatting a little more, she hung up just as they arrived home.After entering the ho
Did the power go out?Jenna hastily turned on the flashlight on her phone. Through the corridor’s window, she saw that the streetlights outside were still illuminated. Faintly, she could hear Sam's voice downstairs saying that the circuit breaker had tripped, and he was going to check it.Maybe she would pass him the suit tomorrow when she had free time...Jenna was about to return when she heard movement faintly coming from the bedroom.It seemed like something had been knocked over.She was afraid Quinn might have accidentally bumped into something due to the sudden power outage, which could potentially worsen his back injury. Immediately, she knocked on the door. "Quinn, are you okay?""Mr. Forester?"After knocking on the door several times and not receiving a response from Quinn, Jenna started to feel anxious.Just as she was about to kick the door open, Quinn's muffled voice finally sounded from inside. "The door isn't locked. Come in.""Okay." Jenna let out a sigh of re
Due to the power outage, the bedroom was engulfed in darkness except for the area around the sofa. She could hear her own breathing, and it all felt unnaturally quiet to Jenna.She became even more nervous as she cleaned the man's wound.To ease the tension and break the silence, Jenna spoke up. "Thank you, Quinn. I owe you one."Quinn understood why she apologized. In the dim light, his deep gaze grew heavy.After a moment of silence, Quinn said, "Since we're married, it's my duty to protect you. There's no need for you to owe me any favors. If you had been injured that night, it would have been due to my failure as a husband."Jenna understood the dynamics between them, but upon hearing his last sentence, her heart uncontrollably skipped a beat.Quinn always gave her a sense of being protected, even if it was unspoken...Jenna murmured a vague response and focused on bandaging his wound.As she wrapped the bandage around his chest, she saw a cornflower the size of a coin loca
On Thursday morning, Jenna got up early and changed into a black suit, tying her hair into a low ponytail. She looked refined and capable.Due to Kevin's sudden appearance that night, she felt embarrassed and had been intentionally avoiding Quinn these past few days. Quinn seemed busy, leaving early and returning late. He did not have time for her either.Jenna went downstairs to find Quinn having breakfast. He had a blue striped tie around his collar, resembling the style she had helped the old lady pick out for her grandson at the mall before. However, she quickly realized that the tie at the store was not a limited edition, so it was normal for Quinn to have bought the same one.She greeted him and sat across from him."Sam, can I drive any of the cars in the garage?" Jenna asked Sam as she ate pan-fried scallops. "I have an interview today."Before Sam could answer, Quinn spoke indifferently. "None of the cars in the garage are suitable for you to drive. I've ordered a n
It was recruitment season at Elysian Group, and being a large company, almost everyone who received an interview notification showed up.When Jenna arrived at the interview floor, she found the corridor crowded with people.Seeing this lively scene, Jenna could not help but sigh. She went to register and collected her number card, intending to sit in a corner and wait. Unexpectedly, she accidentally bumped into someone while walking.A woman had bumped into Jenna as she was not looking where she was going and dropped her phone. Out of goodwill, Jenna helped to pick it up."Thank you..." The woman took the phone and thanked Jenna. However, as soon as she saw Jenna clearly, her expression changed abruptly. "Jenna?"Jenna found the young woman somewhat familiar but could not seem to recall who she was at that moment. She simply nodded slightly and tried to walk past her.However, the woman swiftly blocked her path, mocking coldly, "Hilarious! You were useless even in your own compan
