“Miss Rong, my employer has paid for your grandmother’s medical bills.” The driver handed several invoice statements to Jenna.Jenna shakily accepted the invoice statements, and when she saw the purchase of the medicine stated on it, her heart finally felt at ease. She asked eagerly, “Did Shawn send you to pick me up?”She knew there were security cameras installed at the entrance to the Seabright building. Shawn would have definitely seen her through them!The driver shook his head. “Mr. Sadler has taken everything away from you and even compared you to a dog. What are you still hoping for?”He pulled open the door to the backseat. “Miss Radcliff, please.”Jenna raised her head to see a man sitting in the backseat of the car. His legs were crossed as smoke shrouded his fingertips. All he did was sit, but it made him seem unapproachable.“I don’t know your employer…”“He will tell you whatever you want to know,” The driver said. “By the way, he doesn’t like waiting on people.”Jenna un
Why?!Her parents had regarded Shawn as their own son. Aside from Seabright, they had given him practically all of their assets.Why was he so cruel?!Shawn cupped Yvonne’s chin with an aloof expression. “Why did Mr. York change his room at the last minute? Who was that man who left room 2588 that morning?”“We haven’t found that out yet.” Yvonne’s chin almost seemed as if it was going to be crushed to bits by Shawn. She kissed him ingratiatingly. “It doesn’t matter who it was. You guys are divorced now anyway. Other than a grandmother who’s about to die, Jenna doesn’t have anything left. She’s tainted now too. Are you still unsatisfied?”When Shawn thought of the woman who had been kneeling wretchedly in the rain, he inexplicably felt agitated.“I’m satisfied!” He let out a cold chuckle, gripping Yvonne’s waist, and threw her onto the bed. He then pressed his body on hers.The Radcliffs deserved their downfall.He was just taking back what belonged to him!“Shawn, slow down…” Yvonne’s
Soon, Yvonne came out of the house. “Baby, you came out to play right after waking up this morning. Do you not want breakfast?”“Mommy!” The little boy immediately dropped the wooden horse, flew into Yvonne’s arms, and was picked up by her. “Daddy said he would tell me a story last night, but he left right after dinner.”“When Mommy gets to the office, I’ll get Daddy to video call you and apologize to you, okay?”“Okay!”Jenna walked stiffly forward and moved closer to Yvonne, step by step. Her face pale beyond belief. “Y-you…”This little boy looked at least three years old!Yvonne looked back as she held the child. After seeing Jenna, a flash of panic crossed her face. “Jenna, w-what are you doing here?”She turned around with the child in her arms and ran toward the house with hurried steps.Jenna caught up to her with just a few steps and grabbed Yvonne by the hair, giving her a fierce slap.“Yvonne, why did you do this to me? You came from the countryside. I was the one who sponso
Just as the car was about to collide with Jenna, someone rushed out from the side and gave her a fierce pull.The car brushed past them and quickly disappeared.“Miss Radcliff, it’s not worth dying for a man.” The person who had saved her was the driver, Sam. “If you die, who will take care of your grandmother?”A few slivers of sense returned to the disoriented Jenna. That was true—if she died, what about Grandmother?Soon, a car made its way over. Sam pulled open the door to the backseat and invited her into the car. “My employer would like to meet with you. He can give you everything you need.”“He might be able to give me what I want, but what can I give him?” Jenna laughed bitterly.She was not stupid. She did not assume that just because that man had unwittingly taken her virginity, he would keep helping her unconditionally.Especially now that her reputation was shattered to pieces, and she had nothing to her name.Jenna hugged herself and whispered, “Thank you for saving me and
Once the workers were done rifling through everything and had left, the once majestic villa was now in a state of disrepair. Even the pearwood doors had been removed.An old aide limped into the room, dragging a box containing clothes and expensive jewelry behind her. “Miss, when they came, I packed away all the things you liked.”Looking at the aide’s leg, Jenna could see that those people had used force. Her eyes reddened. “Aunt Lily…”Aunt Lily had watched her grow up and was one of the aides her mother had brought.Afraid those men would return, Aunt Lily brought them to her own home. It was a simple two-bedroom house with a living room and a spotless room for Jenna.“When I first started working for your mother, she helped me pay the down payment for this house. It’s a shame the Madam…”At this, Jenna smiled bitterly.Look! Even an aide knew to repay the kindness. She had helped Yvonne so much, yet Yvonne turned around and bit the hand that fed her!Jenna carefully put her parents
When Jenna awoke, her head, neck, and arms were all wrapped in bandages. Even a slight movement made her suck a breath of cold air.She had been detained at the detention center.A police officer who came over to deliver the food said to her, “You are suspected of attempting to murder the CEO of Seabright Group, Shawn Sadler. Be obedient and stay put for your court summons!”She really hated herself for not keeping a close enough eye on that car and letting Shawn escape!Jenna did not want to sit here waiting for her fate, so she called a police officer over. “I want to make a call to hire a lawyer in my defense.”The police officer just scoffed and ignored her.Later that night, the police officer reappeared. This time, he was leading two women to the detention cell and proceeding to uncuff them.Right after they entered, they glanced at her with unfriendly gazes, and she shrunk back in vigilance.She managed to hold out half of the night until she could not resist it anymore and fell
“C-Call…” Jenna stated a series of numbers, nails pressed into the woman’s neck.The woman’s legs became weak, and she immediately looked to Yvonne for help.“D-don’t do anything rash, Jenna…” Yvonne had not expected Jenna to do that and was shocked. “You don’t even have a family anymore. Who could you ask for help?”She had been friends with Jenna for a few years now and knew every single one of Jenna’s friends. Those with good families had all been bought over by her.She definitely would not be able to find someone who would help her.“I told you… to make the call!” Jenna said through gritted teeth. Her nails had already pierced the skin of the woman’s neck. The woman was so scared that her legs were shaking, and her mouth was agape.Yvonne’s expression darkened. Afraid the woman would accidentally say her name, she clenched her teeth and called the number Jenna had reported.Very soon, the call got through. “Hello?”Jenna’s eyes welled up with tears when she heard the familiar voic
Quinn Forester felt a flash of displeasure. He picked up the bowl of porridge he had brought in and took a sip. Then, he leaned down, kissed the woman to pry her teeth open, and force-fed her the porridge.Perhaps due to her body being too hungry, Jenna instinctively swallowed the porridge in her sleep.In this manner of feeding her sip by sip, the bowl of porridge quickly emptied into Jenna’s stomach, and Quinn’s tightly furrowed brows also loosened.He was about to withdraw the hand supporting Jenna’s neck when she gripped it tightly, holding it to her face.“Mom…!” It was like Jenna had found a lifeline as she murmured. Hot tears quickly covered the man’s hand. “I really miss you… Take me with you…!”Quinn looked at the woman quietly, his eyes full of indifference. “Jenna, the only one who can save you is yourself.”With that, he withdrew his hand without hesitation and left the room.In her dream, Jenna saw her long-dead parents run to her to reprimand her for falling for Shawn and
