Exhausted, Jenna only woke up past noon the next day. The bodyguards had entered the room once while she was sleeping. Noticing that she was still asleep, they did not disturb her. She remained nesting in the blanket as she sent a voice message to Quinn. “You scumbag, you’re just going to leave after hooking up?” “That’s a very crass way to put it.” Quinn replied, “I’m making breakfast at a kitchen somewhere near the hospital. Is there anything else you want?” Jenna was a glutton. “Scrambled eggs, beef sausage, grilled chicken…” “Just porridge is enough for you.” Quinn interrupted her, "You should only eat something light for now. We can have grilled chicken and everything else later on.” “Then why did you even bother asking me?” Jenna grumbled. She continued to sway the man with her charms. “Just add a sausage on top, please? The one you make is the most delicious thing in the world, and I haven’t had it in so long.” “Okay,” Quinn relented. Before hanging up
Jenna immediately turned to Quinn and asked severely, “Did you slip up?” “My trip here was kept top secret. Only the Brahms could possibly know about it.” Quinn was just as puzzled. He did not know why Triss somehow showed up. He was worried about Triss suddenly barging in. Within an instant, he put the surgeon’s mask on, sat in front of Jenna, and produced a pen and a notebook. Jenna was taken aback by his swift movements. She mused at how his acting skills were even better than when he was Tom. It seemed like he could tap into any character on a whim. Soon, the door to the ward kicked open, and Triss stormed in angrily. The two bodyguards followed after and expressed weakly, “I’m sorry, Miss Jenna. We couldn’t stop her…” They were hesitant to take any physical action against Triss. "If you can't stop her, leave it." Jenna waved them out before turning to Triss and asking dully, “What do you want from me?” Triss walked up to Jenna, her high heels clacking agai
Triss frowned. What Jenna said struck some sense in her, and she needed time to reel back from the shock. She had always been someone known for her magnetic charms. If she could not find James, so what? He could be easily replaced. There was no need for her to get so agitated about it. Why should she sabotage herself with alcohol just because he had been spending time with another woman? Besides, anyone in the entertainment industry who clung to her had to have their hearts corrupted by the prospect of wealth. “Yes, plenty of men out there.” She seemed to see some sense at last and declared with a sharp frown, “If anybody wants him, they can have him. Why do I care? He’s just a small-time actor.” She then ruffled her hair and turned to Jenna. “It doesn’t seem like there’s anything wrong with you. Why are you in the hospital? “Coco is hosting a dinner party in North City tonight, let's go together!” “Ms. Jenna needs to stay in the hospital.” Before Jenna could answer,
She cross-checked various sources to verify Madam Malone’s true identity. However, here was Stanley telling her she had the wrong person. Stanley affirmed, “I have very good hearing and would never lie to you. The voice of the lady in the recording you sent me sounded nothing like Madam Malone. I even recorded her voice. I’ll send it to you right now.” A minute later, Jenna received an audio recording, which she immediately played. Several women were chatting and laughing merrily in the audio clip. Although many voices mingled together, she quickly identified Agnes’ voice. It was an exact match to the voice in the previous video. She called Stanley again and asked, “Whose voice was that, then?” “Gregory Malone’s wife, Heather.” “Who is Gregory Malone?” Jenna asked in a confused voice, failing to catch what was said to her. Malone… The name sounded somewhat familiar. “There’s one Gregory Malone in all of Portica.” Stanley clued her in, “You should know who it is,
Then, Jenna thought of Xavier, and her heart began to ache more. "Miss Jenna.” Upon noticing Jenna's eyes suddenly turning red, the bodyguard asked in a hushed voice, “Are you okay?” “I’m fine…” Jenna tried to speak, but her voice came out like a dry retch. She could not shake off the heavy sadness weighing on her and felt like her tears would begin to pour out if she blinked. She went back to the ward with the bodyguards. When she opened the door, she noticed Xavier inside the ward. He was wearing a black windbreaker, his figure slender and tall as always. He brought some change of clothes and skin care products for Jenna and was halfway through laying them out on the table when he turned around and noticed Jenna entering. Her eyes were still rimmed with red, and her expression seemed very morose. “What happened?” Xavier asked the two bodyguards, “Has anyone been harassing her?” The two bodyguards were intimidated by their boss’ oppressing aura. Before they could spe
A few days later, Xavier had to return to Dresark to handle some matters relating to Helter Corporation and look in on the two children while he was at it. Before he left, he called Shawn.For this past while, Jenna kept receiving texts from Martin Brahm.Martin asked her pitifully why she was ignoring him and if she was mad because he had not visited her.Jenna only replied to these texts once Xavier left the country. She implicitly said he and Madam Brahm should treat her to a meal since she got injured because of him.Afraid Madam Brahm would not show up, Jenna asked Martin to make the reservation and not mention her name.The day Jenna went to Portica to attend the appointment happened to be the day Tom Gunner was supposed to be marrying Diana White. The netizens and media were all looking forward to it. However, the couple posted on Twitter, saying they were both too busy with work and that the wedding had been postponed, which incited much scolding.When Jenna arrived at Ba
When the woman saw Quinn’s face, her eyes widened, but her tone remained calm. “You’re not dead?”Jenna pointed at Agnes Pascal and said to Quinn, “She is Madam Brahm, but she’s also Agnes Pascal.”Quinn was stunned.He had been given to Leah Roberts to raise right after being born and only found out later on who his mother was, whom he had only seen in a yellowed photograph.The graceful and dignified woman in front of him did not match the photo of his mother.However, he knew Jenna must have discovered something and said to her in a low voice, “Xavier said she died in a car accident.”“She faked her death.” Jenna walked over to him to hug him around the waist. “After I realized Agnes Pascal wasn’t dead, I’ve been looking into her whereabouts. I also guessed there must have been a misunderstanding between her and Scott Forester.”Quinn had not expected this to be the thing Jenna had been hiding from him.His heart ached as he kissed her. Pulling out his phone, he played a rec
Quinn tugged Jenna further into his arms, holding her hand tightly.Xavier’s gaze swept over Quinn’s face.He did not ask Jenna why her split personality had suddenly vanished nor why Quinn was not dead either.Finally, his gaze landed on Agnes Pascal. His expression was calm. “I always hoped you weren’t dead. That way, I wouldn’t suffer from nightmares anymore… It’s really great to see you again after so many years.”Jenna could not imagine how painful it must be for Xavier to say those words. With red eyes, she angrily rebuked, “You’re not fit to be a mother, Agnes Pascal!”“Did you think Scott Forester wanted to separate you from your child? If he hadn’t done that back then, both you and Quinn would be dead, but you resent him for giving Quinn to Leah Roberts to raise. When Leah Roberts found out the truth later on, she tried to kill Quinn a few times.“While it’s true you gave birth to Quinn, he’s his own person from birth! Why should he pay for you guys’ mistakes?“And what
