Shawn’s heart skipped a beat as he quickly recalled that he had been very careful in his interactions with Quinn for the past while. Even the naive Jacob had been extremely cautious when speaking outside.Even if Xavier’s men were watching them in secret, they should not have been able to find a trace of anything.So, why was Xavier asking him this?“Shouldn’t you know very clearly whether or not he’s dead?” Shawn’s expression remained unaffected as he spoke coldly, “Do you think you could stop him if he wanted to take the kids and Jen away?”Xavier turned on his tablet and handed it to Shawn. “The global financial giants MF and GS are attacking Forester Corporation.”Shawn’s eyes widened and he immediately took the tablet from him.MF and GS were consortiums that had existed since the twentieth century and had developed to a horrifying strength.The two giants had once worked together to short the currencies of a few countries, causing the collapse of their economies. It took t
Jennifer asked Shawn to inform the delivery company for the race car to send it straight to North City.It was only then that Shawn was shocked to the core to find out she was already a member of a private racing club in North City and was going to take part in a race. After he hung up, Shawn said worriedly, “I’ll go with you.”If not for Xavier’s carelessness in allowing Jenna to go to North City alone the last time, which allowed Lilith to take advantage of this opportunity to kidnap Jenna, they would not be in such an annoying situation right now. “You don’t even understand racing. What for?” Jennifer waved a hand. “I’ve texted Caleb. He’s going to North City with me.”North City was the Hales’ home ground. Since Caleb was going with her, Shawn had nothing else to say.At 11 AM the day after tomorrow, Jenna and Caleb arrived in North City. They had just left for the racing club when someone passed the news to Xavier.When Xavier heard his subordinate’s report, he narrowed h
The boy also spotted the SSC Tuatara right away and immediately walked over to Lester. “Lester, didn’t you say you weren’t able to get this car? You got someone to sneak it in to show it off today, didn’t you?”“I really wasn’t able to get it.” Lester shrugged and looked at the boy. “It isn’t your dad’s gift to you, Martin?”The boy named Martin made a face as if asking if he was joking. “I don’t even dare to tell my dad about me coming here to race. Do you think I’d ask him for a race car?“He’s influential in the government, but you can’t get this car with just connections, you know.”As the two spoke, Caleb, who was standing off the race track, spotted Jennifer who had changed into her racing uniform. He was surprised by her cold but laidback aura for a few seconds before pulling her aside and saying to her in a low voice, “Just have fun. No one will say anything even if you aren’t good at it. But don’t crash into anybody, especially that person.”Caleb pointed at the boy in bl
When the spectators saw this scene through the large screen, they all shook their heads. They thought that if that supercar belonged to Lester or anyone else, they would be far ahead in the lead. It was useless in Jennifer’s hands.Everyone felt that it was such a shame. However, they saw Jennifer, who was originally lagging behind, suddenly take sixth place with her very skilful driving during a sharp turn.At the next four heart-stopping turns, Jennifer surpassed Lester in one fell swoop to take the lead.Lester and the rest were left behind. No matter how hard they tried, no one could catch up to Jennifer.In the end, she crossed the finish line first.Everyone was frozen in astonishment before they started standing and clapping one after another, cheering.Martin was the second to cross the finish line. He hopped out of the car before it had even fully stopped to run to Jennifer. “You handled those continuous sharp turns so beautifully! Even I’m not as daring as you are.“Th
On the other end of the call, Shawn hummed in acknowledgment. “Yeah.”Jennifer’s personality was as different from Jenna’s as heaven and earth. Even if Shawn wanted to hide it, anyone who had interacted with Jenna before would be able to tell.He happened to need Caleb’s help to protect Jennifer too, so he simply admitted it.With just a few short words, Caleb, who spent months on end holed up in his studio alone and had cultivated a monk-like temper, lost his calm as he kept looking over at Jennifer beside him.When he ran into Jenna that night at the bar, Caleb had thought her aura had changed because she changed her hairstyle…Unexpectedly, she turned out to have a split personality.Although the Brahms had been in politics for three generations and Martin did grow up with them, he did not have the air of a politician.The boy had only just come of age in January this year. He was tall and slender, had dark hair and thin lips, and was full of endless vitality and enthusiasm.
“I know him.” Jennifer smiled lazily, her chin propped on her hand.When the man came over and sat down, Jennifer finally saw who it was. She just never expected an actor like James to have such a good relationship with Martin.James glanced at Jennifer and smiled. “We do know each other, but this is our first time meeting.”“How did you guys get to know each other?” Martin asked.James took two sips of his champagne and said casually, “She was the one who connected me to the rich lady supporting me right now.”“Pfft!” Lester spat his champagne out. “James, you’re so poor that you have to sell your body now?”“Why would I be showing my face on TV if I wasn’t poor?” The man spread his arms and rested them across the back of the couch. He was not as refined as he seemed on TV, with a wild air about him that made people fear him.“My body is pretty valuable. If you guys tried this life, the rich ladies might not even be willing to pay ten thousand dollars for you.”“James is still
The wall was too hard and cold for Jenna so she raised herself slightly to lean her entire body weight on Quinn’s arm. “Aren’t you scared James Faulkner will come over and then you’ll have to act out a scene of who’s the real one and who’s the fake?”“He won’t. He’s staying in his apartment.”Jenna reached out to feel for Quinn’s cheek before moving to his forehead. Soon, she peeled off a thin, mask-like object from the man’s face.It was only then did she feel for the light switch and turned on the warm wall light. At the sight of his familiar face and his dark but smiling eyes, Jenna held her breath and she caressed his face lightly.She leaned in to lick away the blood on his lips before kissing him gently. Quinn leaned in, reciprocating just as tenderly.After a long kiss, Jenna’s voice was a little hoarse. “I haven’t seen you in such a long time.”Even if Quinn met with her previously with Tom’s face, that was not him. She had also realized that the last few times she saw him was
If it were not for that heart-stopping glance Jenna threw his way near the church back then that made him look into Jenna secretly…They probably would have passed each other by forever.If he did not have Jenna, his life would have remained stagnant and felt long and lonely.Worried that Jenna was tired of standing, he carried her over to the couch and sat her on his lap.He tidied her mussed hair. “Your acting was so good that we all thought you had dissociative identity disorder. Xavier hates that split personality of yours and is contacting hypnotists already.”“How did you notice then if my acting was that good?” Jenna asked, poking his cheek.Quinn chuckled. “You slipped up that night at Shawn’s place.”Only Jenna would play with his hair, his Adam’s apple, or his digits like a child when she was bored. Jennifer’s type of personality would not do that.The more he thought about it over the past two days, the more suspicious he felt.After finding out Jenna had come to No
