“Be careful.” The man helped Jennifer up out of her kindness.Jennifer looked up. When she saw the man’s features clearly under the light, she grabbed his hand instead. “Hurry, help! They’re beating my friend up.”“Jenna?” Caleb Hale was stunned. He recalled what happened at his grandfather’s birthday as well as Shawn and Jenna’s actions and pulled Jennifer’s hand away forcefully in an ungentlemanly manner. Destiny had already caught up to her by them. “Bitch, you’re dead!”Jennifer hid behind Caleb in fear, tightly gripping his shirt. “I only got together with your boyfriend after he broke up with you! You should just get plastic surgery if you’re ugly! Why blame me?!”Destiny’s expression twisted in anger. She wished she could skin Jennifer alive.Jennifer kept hiding behind Caleb. Since Destiny could not catch her, Caleb’s shirt was torn to pieces.Unable to bear it anymore, he pushed Destiny away. “That’s enough!”Caleb was originally going to tell them not to involve hi
Shawn turned abruptly and glared at Stanley. Accepting the money his assistant handed him, he threw it at Stanley. “My assistant will send you to the hospital. You’d better stay the hell away from now on!”A chill went down Stanley’s spine. He did not dare to say anything further, obediently leaving with Damian.“Drive them away, that’s fine!” Jennifer did not care at all as she tossed her short hair. “There’s still another one anyway.”Another one?Shawn looked back and saw Caleb walk out of the police station.A few of his shirt buttons had been ripped off and he looked somewhat disheveled. His gaze seemed to be fixed on Jennifer.Shawn suddenly realized that Jennifer was dressed in jean shorts and a spaghetti strap crop top. The top barely covered her chest and exposed a considerable amount of fair skin around her waist, giving her a seductive, yet not overly explicit, appearance.He could not see clearly in the dimly lit surveillance recording and had not noticed when he arr
Seeing Quinn ignore her, Jennifer did not bother talking to him further. After she finished the noodles, she put down her utensils, picked a guest room, and went to sleep.Shawn came out from the study after he was done and saw that Jennifer was not around, while Quinn’s expression was dark.He guessed that Jennifer had annoyed Quinn beyond words and laughed bitterly in helplessness. “It’s not just you. When I picked her up from the police station, I felt like my brain was about to burst from anger.“This split personality is way too dominant.” Shawn spoke in a low voice, “I’m scared that it won’t be long before Jen disappears.”Quinn could tell even if Shawn did not mention it.Jenna could get a little capricious sometimes, but only with close friends. She was always polite toward outsiders and dressed elegantly. Maybe sometimes a little sexily, but only when she felt like it.However, her sister, Jennifer had a very strong personality and liked to order people around. She was w
Quinn saw that only a dim wall light was switched on. The woman seemed to have nothing to change into, so she was only clad in a towel and had fallen asleep in it. After some tossing and turning, the towel had long since come undone and had gathered at the waist.She lay on the bed, deep asleep, her dark hair contrasting with her fair skin, which subconsciously teased the man.Quinn’s throat felt a little itchy at the sight, but at the thought that this was someone else’s home and she was sleeping naked with the door unlocked, his burst of nameless fury surged in his heart.Jenna did not have the habit of sleeping naked apart from when she was with him!He took a deep breath to suppress his anger before going back out to rummage through the bag he brought to take out a brand new shirt. Then, he returned to the room to put it on Jennifer.The sleeping woman unconsciously leaned against Quinn and he used his strength to prop her up.She had taken a shower before this, so the strong
Harriet was Hector’s oldest daughter who had fallen for Kenneth at first sight when she was nineteen. That year, Mr. Lerman had only just gotten divorced. Though he had no children, there was still more than two decades of an age gap between them.Although Hector did not interfere with his children’s love lives, he was naturally reluctant to give his blessing when he found out Kenneth was so much older than Harriet and was a businessman.However, Harriet stubbornly insisted on marrying Mr. Lerman, so Hector disowned her.This was why Harriet never went to the Hale home and very few people knew that Mr. Lerman’s wife had a connection to the Hales.Kenneth did not let Harriet down either and stayed loyal to her.Harriet bore children in her younger days and coupled with Mr. Lerman’s doting care and her lack of worries, her skin remained fair and taut. She even retained a youthful aura, making her appear nothing like a woman in her thirties.Shawn said to Harriet with a smile, “Mrs.
Jennifer was very sexy but her beauty carried no hint of vulgarity. She was just like Eve, tempted by the snake to eat the forbidden fruit, but retained an innocent and ignorant charm.When Caleb had gone to the gallery earlier that morning, his assistant had handed him a stack of information on models. He had flipped through them one by one, but all the models started to look like Jenna. It was only then that he realized that Jenna was not just the catalyst for his inspiration.If she was not the model, the two paintings he wanted to paint would never be done, because they could only be born because of her.Jennifer looked up from her phone and looked at him with a raised eyebrow. “Do you have business with me?”Caleb frowned but assumed her aura had changed because she had cut her hair short and requested, “I would like you to continue being my model.”“I’m not available,” Jennifer said briskly without hesitation.Caleb was surprised, not expecting her to reject him.That day,
Although Jenna was smart, she would sometimes be overwhelmed by anger and act recklessly. However, everything Jennifer did last night made him feel like she was quietly planning something.A thought struck Shawn and he vaguely realized something.However, when he saw Jennifer looking at Caleb with a smile, her chin propped on her hand, it seemed like she was very interested in him and wanted to try him out. Shawn felt his head ache and palmed his forehead.He was probably overthinking it.Jennifer was just a playgirl who wanted to try picking someone up once she was interested in them.Shawn called out to them expressionlessly when he saw Jennifer was about to touch Caleb, “Lunch is ready. Come eat.”“Jen.” He even threw a warning look at Jennifer who shrugged and retracted her hand.The lunch prepared was very sumptuous.After lunch, Mr. Lerman and Shawn chatted a little more about business. Mr. and Mrs. Lerman personally saw Shawn and Jennifer off when they left.Seeing that
Harriet did not speak as if digesting everything he just said.After a beat, Harriet frowned and said, “If she could even go as far as to pose as Auntie’s daughter, it’s possible she made up everything she said after that.”“She probably does know Auntie.” Caleb said, “For the past few decades, Grandpa has tried looking for Auntie through TV but only spoke very vaguely about it. There’s no way she would dare to lie to Grandpa with that little information.”Caleb sighed when he saw Harriet did not believe him. “Big Sis, there are people from the nineteenth century who look just like people from this era but aren’t related to them at all.”“It’s not that weird for Jenna to have some resemblance to you and Auntie.”“But I quite like Jenna.” Harriet could not stop herself from saying. “I really want to get closer to her. It’s just that I didn’t want to disturb her when I saw that she was on her phone the entire time.”It was not just Harriet. Caleb was the same.When he first met Je
