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
[Miss Jenna Radcliff, your husband is with another woman in room 2588 of the Orchid Pavilion Hotel.]Jenna turned the screen of her phone off as she waited for the elevator to rise.She had been on a business trip to Munich for the past month and received that baffling text just as she was returning.At first, she thought it was somebody’s prank on her and simply ignored it. However, after she landed, she found she could not get through to her husband’s phone despite calling multiple times and that his phone’s GPS was fixed at the Orchid Hotel.It was then she panicked.When she reached the door to room 2588, Jenna noted with a weird feeling that the door was half-open.With a vigorous push from behind, she stumbled into the dark room. Managing to steady herself, a hot body suddenly leaned over and pressed her against the door.“Honey?” Jenna called out uncertainly.The other party did not reply, and in the darkness, unerringly found Jenna’s lips and kissed her fiercely and eagerly.Wi
It was then that she remembered indistinctly—last night, after being pushed onto the bed, she was so nervous that her whole body was tightly wound. The man’s voice that entered her hearing then was very low.“Relax a little.”That was right… Shawn Sadler’s voice tended to be on the stern side. It was completely different from that man!“H-how could this be…?” Jenna looked at the photos on the bed, her face paler than even the flashes of the cameras.Who was the man who had slept with her, then?“Miss Radcliff, I heard you were childhood sweethearts with Shawn Sadler. Why did you betray him?”“Was it for novelty?”The reporters had no regard for Jenna’s state. To capture a sensational headline, they continued to press Jenna with questions, the camera flashing ruthlessly over every inch of her body and expression.“Get out! All of you, get out!” Jenna broke down and shrieked, waving her arms in an attempt to drive away those reporters.However, she could not drive them away.There was e
Shawn dragged Jenna into the hall of the Civil Affairs Bureau and forced her into a chair. His tone was cold. “We are getting a divorce!”“No!” Brought back to her senses, Jenna grabbed Shawn’s arm, pleading pitifully, “Let’s not get a divorce! I beg of you! We’re childhood sweethearts. You know how much I like you! I only have you by my side now!”“I will never accept a tainted woman!”Jenna was floored. She slumped into the chair, and the hand that had been grabbing at his sleeve dropped.He thought she was tainted?At this moment, a woman with long, wavy hair and a mature charm rushed in.“Mr. Sadler, I’ve brought the documents you wanted.”Seeing the newcomer, a flicker of hope ignited in Jenna’s heart. “Yvonne, please help me talk to Shawn so he doesn’t divorce me! Whenever I’ve argued with him in the past, you were always the one mediating.”Yvonne Nelson and Shawn Sadler were from the same university, and the three got along very well.Every time she clashed with Shawn Sadler, Y
“Grandmother!” Jenna screamed and immediately ran out to get a doctor.As she watched the doctor push her grandmother into the emergency room, she burst into tears and kept pacing up and down the corridor.She would never forgive herself if something happened to her grandmother!Not long after, her grandmother was pushed out of the emergency room with an oxygen mask over her face.The doctor said to Jenna, “The patient’s heartbeat has stabilized, but she needs to be treated with medication. The medication she needs is a special-grade drug with a limited supply. You will have to pay for it before we can give it to her.”“Alright. Thank you.” Seeing her grandmother was alright, Jenna breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly went downstairs to pay.However, when she tried to do so, she discovered that all her cards had been frozen.Jenna called Yvonne and said anxiously, “Yvonne, can you help me ask Shawn why all my cards have been frozen? My grandmother needs money to pay for her medicati
“Miss Rong, my employer has paid for your grandmother’s medical bills.” The driver handed several invoice statements to Jenna.Jenna shakily accepted the invoice statements, and when she saw the purchase of the medicine stated on it, her heart finally felt at ease. She asked eagerly, “Did Shawn send you to pick me up?”She knew there were security cameras installed at the entrance to the Seabright building. Shawn would have definitely seen her through them!The driver shook his head. “Mr. Sadler has taken everything away from you and even compared you to a dog. What are you still hoping for?”He pulled open the door to the backseat. “Miss Radcliff, please.”Jenna raised her head to see a man sitting in the backseat of the car. His legs were crossed as smoke shrouded his fingertips. All he did was sit, but it made him seem unapproachable.“I don’t know your employer…”“He will tell you whatever you want to know,” The driver said. “By the way, he doesn’t like waiting on people.”Jenna un
Why?!Her parents had regarded Shawn as their own son. Aside from Seabright, they had given him practically all of their assets.Why was he so cruel?!Shawn cupped Yvonne’s chin with an aloof expression. “Why did Mr. York change his room at the last minute? Who was that man who left room 2588 that morning?”“We haven’t found that out yet.” Yvonne’s chin almost seemed as if it was going to be crushed to bits by Shawn. She kissed him ingratiatingly. “It doesn’t matter who it was. You guys are divorced now anyway. Other than a grandmother who’s about to die, Jenna doesn’t have anything left. She’s tainted now too. Are you still unsatisfied?”When Shawn thought of the woman who had been kneeling wretchedly in the rain, he inexplicably felt agitated.“I’m satisfied!” He let out a cold chuckle, gripping Yvonne’s waist, and threw her onto the bed. He then pressed his body on hers.The Radcliffs deserved their downfall.He was just taking back what belonged to him!“Shawn, slow down…” Yvonne’s
Soon, Yvonne came out of the house. “Baby, you came out to play right after waking up this morning. Do you not want breakfast?”“Mommy!” The little boy immediately dropped the wooden horse, flew into Yvonne’s arms, and was picked up by her. “Daddy said he would tell me a story last night, but he left right after dinner.”“When Mommy gets to the office, I’ll get Daddy to video call you and apologize to you, okay?”“Okay!”Jenna walked stiffly forward and moved closer to Yvonne, step by step. Her face pale beyond belief. “Y-you…”This little boy looked at least three years old!Yvonne looked back as she held the child. After seeing Jenna, a flash of panic crossed her face. “Jenna, w-what are you doing here?”She turned around with the child in her arms and ran toward the house with hurried steps.Jenna caught up to her with just a few steps and grabbed Yvonne by the hair, giving her a fierce slap.“Yvonne, why did you do this to me? You came from the countryside. I was the one who sponso
