Kevin applied for the Technical Security Department, and the interview process was not as complicated as Jenna's department. He passed it in the morning because of his technical expertise.He wanted to wait for Jenna to finish her exam in the afternoon and accompany her to the hospital.However, shortly after the two left the restaurant after lunch, Kevin received a call from Sam, asking for his help with something.He had no choice but to attend to Sam’s task.Meanwhile, Jenna rested in the resting area for a while before going to the exam at 2 o’clock with everyone else. Elysian was a large company, and the interviewees for different departments were located on different floors.Due to the unique interview process of the Translation Department, several conference rooms on the twelfth floor were assigned to them for the past few days.After the registration staff called their names, Jenna entered the designated examination room with another interviewee.Inside, Jenna noticed
After the twenty-minute oral interpretation session, the examiners quickly graded the candidates.Miss Brown walked with Jenna toward the conference room’s exit and complimented her. "Jenna, your interpretation skills are excellent! The overall results will be announced tomorrow morning. Even if your other scores aren’t satisfactory, based on today's exam alone, I can find a way to get you into Elysian."Miss Brown was not the invigilator for Jenna’s written test, but during lunch, she overheard other candidates saying that Jenna finished her paper quickly as if she did not know how to answer.Even if Jenna's overall score was not good enough, Miss Brown still had to find a way to get her into the Translation Department.After all, Jenna was Sam's future sister-in-law…Miss Brown's calculations and intentions were unknown to Jenna, who thought Miss Brown was misled by public opinion and believed she did not perform well on the written test, hence the comforting words.Thinking ab
Isabella realized that she was being played by Jenna. She was furious, wanting to go up to Jenna and tear her to pieces.Suddenly, Isabella caught a glimpse of the surveillance camera hanging on the wall in the meeting room next door. She quickly had an idea and sneered.…Jenna did not bother about what Isabella was going to do. She was a little tired after a day of exams at Elysian Group.However, she recalled that she had to go to the hospital to draw blood. When she went downstairs, she sent a message to Sam.Sam quickly replied. [Mr. Forester is going back to Portica to attend to something urgent. I’ll send him to the airport and will be back in about an hour.]Jenna typed. [Alright. I’ll go to the hospital first.]After Jenna replied to Sam’s message, the elevator arrived on the first floor. She walked out of the building through the revolving doors and stood on the side of the road to hail a cab.Seeing very few taxis on the road, Jenna turned on her phone and called for
The driver heard Shawn’s muffled groan and glanced at Shawn through the rearview mirror. “Mr. Sadler, are you okay?”“I’m fine.” The stuffiness in his chest quickly dissipated, and Shawn’s complexion soon returned to normal.Shawn lowered his glasses. “Have you found Yvonne?”“No, we can’t find her ticket purchase records at the high-speed rail station and the airport,” the driver replied and added his input, “Mr. Sadler, I think Yvonne is afraid that you’ll settle accounts with her, so she secretly fled by boat.”The driver’s guess made sense, but Shawn frowned and felt that something was off.In the past few years, Shawn had entrusted Yvonne with a lot of dirty work.Yvonne was smart, so she would leave some evidence against Shawn.Shawn knew Yvonne’s personality. If Yvonne knew that her reputation was ruined, she would definitely offer the evidence to him in exchange for a sum of money and his forgiveness.However, when Yvonne drove out in the morning, she disappeared quietl
“Hah!” Jacob laughed.Jacob wanted to say, “Your boss has no ethics, yet wants me to have medical ethics, huh?” However, Sam took out his phone, and Jacob just rolled his eyes.In the next second, Jacob put his arms around Jenna’s shoulders and smiled softly and considerately. “Babe, I’m just joking! Nothing will happen when you donate blood. Moreover, I’ll be here to serve you. Just don’t faint on me because I’m too handsome!”“Thanks a lot…” The corner of Jenna’s mouth twitched, and she slapped his hand away.After they arrived at the blood bank, Jacob took Jenna to do a set of checkups to confirm that she was in good health before he prepared to draw her blood.Jenna thought that the blood-drawing needle was similar to an injection needle. However, when Jacob opened the packaging, the thick and long needle scared her.Her arm trembled, and she quickly looked away.“Compared to Quinn, I’m indeed more handsome.” Jacob clicked his tongue. “I’m so handsome that you don’t even d
The woman next to the pretty woman seemed to be a maid as she was carrying the bag for the pretty woman.The elevator arrived. Jenna wanted to go downstairs to buy food, but she deliberately slowed down her pace when she saw that the pretty woman was pregnant.After Jenna went into the elevator, she pressed the button to open the door.Soon, the pregnant woman and her maid entered the elevator. The woman looked up and smiled at Jenna. “Thank you…”After the woman saw Jenna clearly, her pupils shrank suddenly as if she was a little shocked.When Jenna saw the woman, she was also stunned for a moment. Jenna quickly recognized her and said in surprise and hesitation, “Ms. Langham?”“Jenna Radcliff, I remember you.” Ivy’s gaze swept across Jenna’s flawless face, and her eyes flickered slightly.Ivy knew that she was just as pretty as Jenna, but Jenna was much younger than her, so jealousy spread from the bottom of her heart.Jenna was so youthful, flamboyant, and beautiful… How cou
“Great, you managed to make me angry now!” Jenna kicked Kevin while walking. “I’m officially taking back my promise to treat you to supper for a month!”Seeing that a month’s supper was about to slip away from him, Kevin immediately went up to Jenna to coax her. “Please, don’t! Jen, my beauty queen, I was wrong, okay?“I’ll slap my face for offending you with my words!“Jen, do you have another man? Is that why you don’t love me anymore?”“…”Seeing a big man who was about 1.8 meters tall acting coquettish in front of her, Jenna felt her mouth twitch. “If you act like this again, I’ll call your brother!”Kevin stopped immediately and took out some banknotes from his pocket. “What kind of candy do you want to eat, Jen? Come here, I’ll buy it for you!”“…”On the other side, Ivy stood there after getting out of the elevator. She watched Jenna and Kevin as they walked toward the vending machine and bickered. Her lips were tightly pressed together.Ivy asked the maid, “Is that Sam
While Jenna grabbed the remote control to change the TV channel, she caught a glimpse of the accessories displayed on the coffee table beneath the LCD TV. The nurse even brought a bouquet of lilies into the ward since she was admitted to the hospital. The blossoming lilies brought a fresh aroma to the room. Her thoughts drifted back to the flower tattoo she saw on Quinn’s injury when she dressed it. Jenna looked over to Kevin. “Can I ask you a question, Kevin?” “What’s on your mind?” Kevin raised a brow. “The two former brides who wanted to marry Quinn died unexpectedly before the wedding could happen. It was just a coincidence, and it has nothing to do with health, right?” With her mind wandering back to past events, Jenna raised the doubt that had been troubling her. “Someone is up to no good because they see Quinn’s marriage as a potential threat…” Her tone turned firm. “Quinn wasn’t the target of the car explosion outside the Orchard Pavilion Hotel. It was me.” “Hol
While eating, Carina asked Jenna, “You went on a business trip with Quinn, didn’t you? Where is he?” “Daddy is busy making money so he can buy me a castle!” Duo chirped joyfully. Upon hearing Duo, Carina thought to herself, ‘Oh, dear, forget about a castle, your father could buy you a small nation if you wanted to. Besides, even your uncle is rich enough to buy you a castle made of diamond!’ She soon noticed the dark look in Jenna’s eyes and quickly caught on to something. With that, she stopped probing and switched to another topic. While they were busy eating, the housemaid stepped into the house with a large haul of shopping bags. She then proceeded to the dining table to inform Carina, “Madam, these are the clothes and toys that Mr. Tennyson bought for the young miss…” "Throw them out!” Carina harshly cut off the housemaid’s sentence. The servant obliged and took everything away. Jenna pointed out. “Haven’t Triss explained the situation to you? She was just dru
Shawn assumed that Quinn would only be gone for a while to take care of some of the matters that came up during the period of his false death. He certainly did not expect Quinn to completely vanish without telling anyone. Shawn may be a smart man, but there were no clues whatsoever that he could follow to trace Quinn and what he was up to. Jenna seemed disappointed to hear this. After a while, she suddenly brought up. “What if Agnes asked to see him and set up a trap…” “No.” Shawn could tell that Jenna was already thinking about the worst-case scenario and quickly assured her. “Quinn is far more capable than you think he is.” From the moment Quinn faked his own death and upon learning about Quinn’s close dealings with the Faulkners, Shawn realized that intelligence was not the only remarkable trait Quinn possessed. He was also very calculative, there were not many people who could match him in this regard. After that, he took Jenna to Carina's house to see the children.
The bodyguard finally snapped back to his senses and quickly went to make the appropriate arrangements. Despite Xavier’s claims, Jenna understood just the sort of person he was. He was stubborn and vicious, he would not simply let her go that easily. She dialed up her alertness and continued holding the knife to his neck. After a while, she caught a scent of the pungent, iron smell of blood. The blood trickling down Xavier’s stomach had dyed his shirt red. The blood dripped onto the ground and formed a small puddle. She started to panic and wanted to instruct the other bodyguard to get some bandages and attend to Xavier. However, she noticed how composed the bodyguard seemed and deemed that he was waiting for an opening to seize the knife from her. With that, she discarded the thought of attending to Xavier’s wound. The helicopter arrived very shortly after that. Jenna led Xavier out of the villa and approached the helipad. At last, she removed the knife from his n
Around half past seven in the evening, Xavier returned to the villa in a rather good mood. He took a serving of delicious dinner from the housemaid and went upstairs to bring it to Jenna. “Sir.” The bodyguard greeted Xavier upon noting his return. Then, they proceeded to unlock the door with the key. Xavier did not seem to be in any particular rush to open the door. Instead, he turned to the bodyguards and sent them away in an unusually gentle voice. “You two, get something to eat. I’m fine by myself.” They nodded and went downstairs. They were aware that Jenna had not eaten much lately so she was physically weak. Besides, the boss was more than capable of subduing her by himself, so they were not worried about her running off. Xavier opened the door. To his surprise, the room was engulfed in darkness. Before he could react, he heard a rush of footsteps quickly approaching him. It was then when he felt a jab of pain around his abdomen, then he was tackled. He d
Xavier leaned over to get a closer look at Jenna, then murmured, “You are right, I have lost my mind in trying to claim you for myself. I’m going to lock you inside this room forever. I’ll never be lonely again with you by my side.” “You're insane!” Jenna lashed out. She ran toward the door while Xavier was distracted. She twisted the door handle as hard as she could but failed to open it still. Xavier sat at the table with his legs nonchalantly folded. He eyed her coyly and offered casually. “Come on and eat, otherwise you won't even have enough strength to run to the door tomorrow.” Jenna approached the table, then she grabbed the plate, and threw it at him. “Scram!” The sauce of the spaghetti soaked through his shirt and strands of noodles grossly clung to his skin. Despite his humiliated state, he did not seem the slightest bit bothered. “If you waste the food, you’re going to have to starve until tomorrow morning.” “Scram!” Jenna howled at him again. Xavier ha
Jenna hung up and approached the French windows prudently. She noticed that even the sliding doors were locked shut. The French windows were bulletproof and there was no way she could break them even if she had a gun. She was going to slip away when the housemaid opened the door to bring her breakfast. Unexpectedly, it was not only the housemaid who showed up to bring her breakfast. Two large bodyguards came as well. They were the same ones who were assigned to her in Hevedburgh and they had cut off her path of freedom. The housemaid set the breakfast on the table and bowed politely at Jenna. “Miss Jenna, please use the landline to call me if you need anything.” Jenna grimaced faintly and only chuckled wryly in response. There were no phones or computers in the room, and her contact with the outside world was completely cut off. The landline phone only allowed her to call downstairs. She wondered if Quinn knew that Xavier had brought her to Dresark… She had a nagg
Jenna looked on without much sympathy as Diana died in Connor's arms. She had already heard about Diana's past from Xavier. She grew up in a slum, dirt poor, and without anyone to support her. The circumstances of her birth made her grow into someone who would resort to anything if it meant she could climb her way up. It was certainly pitiful, but she had no sympathy for Diana at all. If Diana had not done what she did to Carina and did not kill Millie, perhaps Jenna would simply let it slide. Shawn no longer paid attention to those two on the floor. He pushed the chair away and got up. “I’ll ask Sam to take Percival and Duo out later, we’re going to Golden Elegance to eat something. I don’t have anything planned this evening so we can bring them out for some playtime after that.” Jenna nodded, then she grabbed her bag and left the cafe with Shawn. As soon as the two of them reached the roadside, a Ghost suddenly screeched to a stop in front of them. The rear door
“I love her.” Connor spoke with a determined look in his eyes, “She made a lot of mistakes in the past and even killed people, I’m not going to excuse that. However, I am willing to bear the consequences with her.” Jenna was floored to hear this. Diana must be unbelievably lucky to meet someone who would still love her so deeply after all the things she had done. She spoke without sympathy, “I’ll give you the antidote if you can tell her to bring Millie back to life. Also, she nearly sent my friend into a lifelong coma and I haven’t settled the score with her yet.” How could the dead ever be resurrected? Connor was aware that Jenna would never give him the antidote. He turned to Shawn with a solemn look and pleaded again. “I will pay for Millie’s life with my own. Please give Diana a chance.” Connor was not a fool, he had a vague impression that Diana had been using him. However, there was nothing he could do about it at this point as he had fallen in love with her.
Connor realized that it was the drug taking effect again. He quickly pried Diana’s fingers away and hurried outside to find a doctor. After the doctor attended to Diana, he heaved a sigh of relief. “Please give her an anesthetic to put her to sleep.” Connor requested. He was worried that Diana would think of him again when she woke up and experience another severe attack that would kill her. The only solution was to put her to sleep. After that, he hired a caregiver to look after Diana. He did not know where Jenna was. With that, he asked for Jacob's phone number from the doctor and called Jacob first, “Hey Jacob, this is Connor. I am General Hale’s grandson.” “Oh, do you need something from me?” Jacob asked impatiently. “I know that East Mill Pharmaceutical must have developed a suitable antidote for the effects of Curb.emotion.” Connor gulped, his Adam’s apple bobbing up and down. “Please sell me one of those antidotes.” Since he was aware of the drug and its ass
