Quinn gestured for Ivy to sit down in the opposite chair. Once she did, he played a video for her to see.It was the security recording of Jenna talking to Ivy outside Elysian.After Jenna in the video finished talking to Ivy, Quinn paused the video.He looked up at Ivy, his voice calm. “Jen said I dated you for so long. What did she say after that? What did she want you to remember well?”When Jenna provoked Ivy with her words, that part of her words was spoken very quickly.Even when Quinn asked a professional lip reader, they could only figure out the first half and what came after, not what was spoken in the middle.Ivy’s hands clenched together tightly under the table at the fact that Quinn only looked for her to ask about this.Very quickly, she raised her head to look directly at him. “Jenna said, at the thought of you dating me for so long, she felt beyond disgusted when she looked at you. She even said she never loved you and that she only got together with you to get r
Quinn’s footsteps paused slightly before he quickly exited the visitation room.He personally met with the head warden to request a single cell for Ivy Langham, along with a full body check-up every other month, allocating a million dollars to the prison on the spot.Separately, he gave the head warden three hundred thousand dollars. The head warden grinned from ear to ear after receiving the money and he repeatedly assured Quinn that he would take care of it.On the way back, Quinn thought about what Ivy said and his eyes darkened slightly.What on earth had Jenna said to Ivy outside Elysian that day?Right then, the delivery rider for the groceries he had ordered called. “Mr. Forester, the groceries you ordered have been delivered to your apartment reception.”Quinn came back to himself and hummed in acknowledgment.He was afraid he would be too late to buy fresh ingredients for dinner that night, so he had placed an order for them three hours in advance.Once they got to the
Quinn’s movements paused and he turned to look at Jenna, clenching his jaw slightly.“Quinn Forester, let’s get a divorce.” Jenna said calmly, “I don’t want anything else other than this apartment.”Quinn seemed to guess why she was doing this and said in his deep voice, “Sweetheart, I’ll go with you wherever you want to go. We can stay there for however long you wish. We don’t have to get a divorce.”“I can go by myself. I don’t need your accompaniment.”Jenna leaned against the kitchen counter, looking quietly at Quinn with a calm gaze. “Now that the Langhams have fallen and Ivy is in jail, I’ve gotten my revenge for Kevin. There’s no need for us to keep playing husband and wife now.”Quinn swallowed, his voice a little hoarse. “What if I don’t want to get a divorce?”“Why? Have you fallen for me, President Forester?” Jenna leaned toward him, closing the distance between them.Without waiting for him to reply, she laughed. “President Forester, you were the one who initially pr
Quinn took off the apron and threw it onto the kitchen counter before turning to go to the bedroom.In under a minute, he had packed his clothes and important documents. As he passed by the living area, his peripheral vision caught Jenna, who was still standing by the kitchen counter, and he paused.Then, he quickly walked toward the entrance and took his coat from the rack.“I’ll wait for you at the Civil Affairs Bureau to submit the divorce papers at 9 AM tomorrow.”After he was done saying that, he opened the door and walked out.Once the door closed, Jenna leaned against the stainless steel kitchen counter and slowly slid to the floor as if she had been drained of all strength.Luckily, Quinn had not waited for her to finish swearing, or else it would have been over.After sitting there for a while, Jenna regained some strength and stood up, supporting herself against the kitchen counter. When she saw Quinn’s signature on the document, she teared up.Her tears fell, soaking
After entering the elevator, Jenna texted Quinn.[Are you still at the Civil Affairs Bureau?]When the lift reached the floor the car park was on, she received Quinn’s reply. [Yes.]Jenna looked down at this text with mixed emotions.Suddenly, her phone vibrated.She exited her chat with Quinn and when she saw the text that just came in, she pursed her lips tightly. Very quickly, she put away her phone and got into her car.Around ten minutes later, Jenna arrived at the Civil Affairs Bureau.The Mercedes-Maybach Quinn often took was stopped by the roadside of the Civil Affairs Bureau. Its black exterior was very lowkey, but still visible at a glance.Sam was in the driver’s seat, observing his surroundings.When he saw Jenna’s car stop behind the Maybach and Jenna got out of it, Sam turned to say to Quinn, “The missus has arrived.”Quinn, who was in the middle of looking at some documents, gathered them and placed them beside him.He opened the door and got out to see Jenna
“Why don’t I explain?” Xavier Pascal pulled Jenna into his arms, locking eyes with Quinn. “My name is Xavier Pascal, Jen’s beloved.”Quinn narrowed his eyes and the aura surrounding him got even heavier.Meanwhile, in the car by the roadside, Sam, who had heard everything, was dumbfounded.He even shuffled closer to the passenger’s side to watch the scene from the rearview mirror and was pretty puzzled to see the young man with his arm around Jenna.How come he had never seen this man before?Xavier played with Jenna’s long hair as he smiled. “Although I’ve just arrived in Hevedburgh, Jen told me all about your relationship with her. Thank you for taking care of her for so long, President Forester. If you need anything in the future, just say the word.“This is my name card.” With his other hand, Xavier took out a name card from his coat pocket and handed it to Quinn.It was a very simple gold-stamped business card.On it was written “Hibiscus Studios” and the company’s logo wa
Quinn’s heart had only fluttered once in the past year when his car passed by the church, and he ran into Jenna. Her bright smile had left a deep impression on him.How many times had he dreamt of that face, wanting to keep her by his side to keep his lonely self company?However, that girl did not belong to him, after all.She was young, brilliant as a sunrise, and deserved better, while he was no longer young and had not given her any good memories.-Jenna stood there, watching the Maybach slowly vanish from her sight as her heart throbbed with sadness.The hand Xavier had around Jenna’s shoulders slid down to take her hand and pull it into his own coat pocket. “Let’s go, Jen.”“Why don’t we do it some other day?” Jenna said, struggling, “I just got divorced…”“It’s got to be today.” Xavier brushed her hair away from her face, indescribable tenderness and madness in his gaze, which gave Jenna the creeps, although his voice was a pleasant low tone.“The Civil Affairs Bureau
Jenna immediately put down her pen and said to Xavier, “Then we’ll go get the residence permit done and come back another day.”She picked up her documents and her bag, then got up first.Xavier knew it was not possible to get it done today and could only give up. He put away his identification documents and led Jenna by the hand out of the Civil Affairs Bureau.The two had just exited when they were immediately surrounded by the reporters who had been waiting outside.The lights of the cameras flashed non-stop at Jenna.“Mrs. Forester, why are you at the Civil Affairs Bureau with another man? Have you divorced President Forester?”“Please tell us about it.”Xavier waved away the microphone shoved up against Jenna’s face and held her in his arms. “Yes, Jenna has divorced Quinn Forester. We went into the Civil Affairs Bureau earlier to register our marriage.”When the reporters heard that, they immediately turned their cameras to Xavier.One of the reporters recognized Xavier a
