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
Kevin’s panicked exit only drew the curiosity out of Jenna. She had heard that Quinn’s mother was not in the best of health. Less than two years after Quinn’s birth, his mother gave birth to a daughter. However, the daughter was born prematurely and died before the age of one. Quinn’s mother, Scott’s second wife, did not have another child since, so Quinn was his mother’s only child. Jenna was baffled as to who in Quinn’s family could have assaulted his brides. Not to mention, Quinn would not do anything about it. One more thing… The effects of getting her blood drawn must be hitting her again. Plus, it was close to midnight. Feeling drained and tired, Jenna retreated to the bed for sleep. While she was deep in slumber, an unsettling sensation crept onto her as if someone was covering her nose and mouth. She was suffocating and could not breathe. Jenna tried to open her eyes, but her eyelids refused to budge. Kevin hunkered down outside the ward, smoking away two sticks
