Jenna strode over, pulling on Jacob’s arm. “Dr. Tennyson, who are you shopping with here?”Jacob was pulled around to face her.He had seen from the news that Jenna was back and was not surprised to see her, but was not expecting to see Carina with her.When he saw Carina, he inexplicably felt a little guilty. “This is my friend. I happened to bump into her here.”He had come to get something from one of the stores and had not expected to bump into her here.The appearance of Carina and Jenna attracted the girl’s attention.Her heart-shaped face was youthful and she looked not older than twenty.The girl leaned toward Jacob and asked somewhat shyly, “Jake, do you know them?”When Jenna saw the girl’s deliberate acting, she rolled her eyes hard.She laughed coldly and looked at Jacob. “Aren’t you going to introduce us, Dr. Tennyson?”Jacob rubbed the bridge of his nose and could only helplessly say, “This is my friend, Beth Jugson.”Then he introduced them to that girl named
Beth quickly walked forward, saying timidly, “I’m sorry, Jake. It’s all my fault for making Miss Carina angry. I’ll apologize to her.”Some loathing arose in his heart and Jacob was disgusted by her actions.However, at the thought that she was the only child of the Jugsons, he could not be angry with her and he rubbed a hand over his cheek that had gone numb.“There’s no need to apologize. It’s got nothing to do with you.”Jacob took out a card from his pocket and handed it to the girl. “You can buy whatever you want. I still have to go back to the hospital for a night shift.”“Okay.” The girl took the card and obediently nodded.After Carina helped Jenna out of the mall, it unexpectedly started raining outside.She asked worriedly as she held Jenna’s hand, “Are you okay, Jen?”“It’s fine. It’s just a fall.” Jenna felt that her hand did not hurt anymore. “You didn’t know that girl either?”Carina shrugged and said nonchalantly, “He’s got so many friends, so it’s not weird tha
“I don’t think the person you’re waiting for will be done so soon. So, you can just send Jen back and come back to pick your friend up,” Carina said.“Quinn, my Jacob is such good friends with you. Can’t you help take care of his wife’s best friend?”After a moment of silence, Quinn opened the car door and got out.Once Jenna got in with all her shopping bags, he closed the door and walked around the car to the driver’s seat, instructing Sam, “It’s not safe for Carina to head back alone, so call a cab and escort her back.”Sam knew Quinn was not truly concerned about Carina’s safety heading back alone. However, he could not say anything and silently got out of the car.After Quinn drove off with Jenna, Carina happened to get a call.“Sam, my friend’s waiting for me at the car park opposite, so I’ll go back with her. Bye!” Carina found an excuse and left in a hurry.Once she was away from Sam, Carina once again took out her handphone and called that number.“Well?”After the
Jenna nuzzled her face into Quinn’s shoulder, her voice lilting with the slightest hint of suggestiveness.Quinn could feel the place she nuzzled start to heat up and his breath hitched, but his gaze remained clear as he pulled Jenna away by the neck.Jenna unrelentingly leaned back in, kissing him.Then, she suddenly bit fiercely down on his lower lip with her teeth until she tasted blood. Only then did she back off.“You bit my lip last night and because of that, I couldn’t even apply lipstick today.” Jenna wiped away the blood on his lip. “So, I had to get back at you for that!”“Send one of your helpers my way tomorrow. Just tell me what you want, okay?”Quinn pushed away her wandering hands and said calmly, “If you can give me what I want, it’s a deal.”“Don’t worry, President Forester. I can give you whatever you want.” Jenna smiled faintly.She pushed open the door and got out, quickly taking out her loot from earlier that day from the backseat.When she saw the Tom For
Sam looked at Jenna and was silent for a long moment.Then, he put down his teacup and got up from the sofa. “I hope you’ll be able to do as you say. I’ll take my leave first.”Jenna got up to walk him out.After closing the door, Jenna’s expression crumbled, sighing to herself that if Quinn fell for someone and married them, she would not interfere.However, when that time came, that meant that she and Quinn were over.“Miss Radcliff.” Mrs. David was standing in the dining area and called out to Jenna, “Breakfast is ready. I’ll go clean the bedroom now.”Jenna came back to her senses and walked over to her quickly. “There’s no need to rush. I want to chat with you a little.”She sat down at the dining table and started eating her breakfast, praising Mrs. David’s cooking skills before asking, “Mrs. David, how many years have you worked at Sparrow Garden?”“Three years,” Mrs. David answered truthfully. Before coming here, President Forester told Mrs. David that from now on, Je
Jenna was wearing a gray suit. Her aura was strong and there was some coldness about her delicate brows. She was elegant and beautiful but incited fear in others.The receptionist quickly recognized her as their new CEO.“Good morning, President Radcliff.”Soon, a secretary arrived and after greeting Jenna, they brought her to a conference room on the floor above.The employees of the company had already received an internal email about the change in CEO.The secretarial department quickly set a meeting time.Jenna walked into the conference room. With the secretary’s introduction, she learned the names of the executives and greeted them briefly.After sitting down, she listened to their reports on the progress of all of the company’s projects.To control the entire production chain, the company had a production department that produced two television dramas and a movie every year.While the deputy head of the production department spoke, Jenna flipped through the information
After leaving the conference room, the deputy head assigned some projects and activities to Diana White, then called her manager and told her that if Diana White continued to defy the company, the contract would be terminated.Diana White had initially signed a contract for eight years and the termination fee was in the thousands. Even if she was doing relatively well now, she had no way of paying such a high fee.Thus, she could only obediently accept everything the company arranged.When the person in charge received the text from Diana White’s manager, they immediately sighed in relief, thinking to themselves that Jenna was impressive for managing to rein in someone like Diana White.Soon, trouble came.For one of the shows produced by Hibiscus Studios themselves, the male lead was a capable newcomer under their company, while the female lead was Diana White.However, the moment the official Twitter posted their makeup test shots, Diana White’s fans came out in droves to criti
The old woman wiped her tears with her sleeve. The miss looked for Scott Forester, but he was a no-good coward who told her he never planned to marry her in the first place and broke up with her.“She stood there crying, refusing to leave until I pulled her away. But on our way back, our car was stopped…”At the time, two black cars had their car surrounded and a few men got out of the cars to smash the car windows in. After they got the car doors open, they pulled Agnes Pascal with them.She had only just given birth and was in a hurry to look for Scott Forester, so she had no strength left in her.To protect her young miss, the old woman desperately struggled against them. However, she was pushed and her face landed in the broken glass, resulting in her fainting.When the old woman woke up in the hospital the next day, she saw on the news that a deceased woman, who had just given birth, was discovered near a car explosion on the mountain road they had traveled on the previous ni
