Her feet bare, Jenna hurriedly ran toward the door.Just as she pulled the door open and was about to rush out, Jacob, who unexpectedly happened to be coming to give her a check-up, walked in. It caused the two to nearly crash into each other.Right before Jenna could crash into him, Jacob grabbed her arm and steadied her. “Hey, hey. You slept for three days but already have the strength to rush outside the moment you wake?”Jenna was in the middle of panicking. However, after recognizing who was standing before her, her tensed nerves relaxed.“Dr. Tennyson, why am I here?”“Don’t you remember?” Jacob brought her back to the room and gestured for her to sit on the sofa as he brought out a needle to take her blood.“Oh, that’s right. That drug invades the nervous system. It makes sense you don’t have a recollection of what happened afterward.”“You got hit by the aphrodisiac too. It’s a banned substance and is very potent. At the time, I could only make one dose of the antidote,
Not long after, Jenna’s expression returned to normal. She picked up the bag on the chair, throwing the pendant in.After gathering everything, she opened the room door and walked out.In the living area of the suite, Sam was discussing work with someone from the secretarial department when he faintly heard the sound of footsteps coming from behind him and quickly put his phone away.As he turned around to look, Sam saw Jenna coming out from the room and said politely, “Good morning, Ma’am.”Jenna nodded and asked, “Where’s Kevin?”“After being injected with the antidote, he woke up the next day.” Sam paused for a moment, then said helplessly, “But Kevin feels as though he messed up and is too ashamed to see you. He went back the day he woke up.”“This has nothing to do with him.” Jenna said. “I heard from Dr. Tennyson that the drug was prohibited. Anyway, it was the enemy that was too cunning.”“I have to thank Kevin. If it weren’t for his help that night, Isabella Summers’ sch
The netizen also posted a very blurry wedding photo with their tweet.It was unknown which church or city it was held at, but because of the camera angle, the male party could not be seen. However, one could vaguely tell that the bride in the wedding dress was precisely Ivy Langham.Jenna stared at this tweet for a while, her gaze gradually darkening.Her finger stopped on the screen, and she very quickly saved a screenshot of the tweet. When she scrolled down and later scrolled back up, that tweet was gone.Soon, Aunt Lily was done making lunch.Jenna went to the dining area to eat. When she saw Sam asking a helper to pack a separate portion to take to Kevin’s room, she asked, “What’s up with him?”“He said he isn’t feeling well and wants to eat in his room.”Jenna was speechless.According to Jacob Tennyson, in the three days Jenna was unconscious, she relied on a glucose IV drip. So, at this point, she was starving. Once she took her seat at the dining table, she made a clea
Kevin felt his forehead break out in a sweat and wiped it with his hand as he averted his gaze. “Sorry, Jen. I made you remember something bad.”He knew everything Shawn Sadler had done to force Jenna into divorce and relinquish all her marital assets.“It’s in the past now.” Jenna looked down but very quickly turned her gaze to him once more. “I’m saying all this so that you won’t overthink it. If you insist on leaving, it means you don’t see me as a friend anymore.”Hearing Jenna say that, Kevin broke out into a smile. “How dare I still leave when you’ve already said so?”Jenna smiled when she saw that he had finally let it go.The obstacle between the two seemed to disappear as they looked at each other and smiled.Kevin took a pear from the fruit bowl and began munching on it as he sat on the bed, saying to Jenna, “For the past two days, I’ve been trying to restore the deleted chat logs on Isabella Summers’ phone. Though it seems someone hacked into her phone before this and
Seven thirty o’clock that night, Quinn returned to Sparrow Garden with Sam.The moment he entered the house, he could hear the sounds of bickering. When he looked in the direction of the noise, he noticed Jenna and Kevin huddled on the sofa in the living area playing games.From his viewpoint, he could just see Jenna sitting on the single sofa on the right side, curled up in the chair.Jenna seemed to especially love the color green, as she was once again wearing a light green mesh skirt that covered her snow-white legs today. Her delicate ankles were folded together and seemed as if they would break with just a bend. Her round toes would contract one moment and stretch out the next, exhibiting her restlessness.Looking at her beautiful feet, Quinn’s Adam apple inexplicably bobbed.He handed the jacket in his hand to the helper standing by the side and walked into the living area, sitting down on the sofa opposite Jenna’s.“Jenna, can you change your sitting position?”He rememb
Quinn could smell the faint scent of white tea coming off her body, and he frowned lightly. “Do as you see fit.”“That won’t do. No matter how you look at it, I’m still your wife. Since I’m going back with you to meet your elders, I must strive to give them a good impression of me.”As Jenna said that, her hand had already reached over to rest on the man’s broad shoulders. “Why don’t I play the part of the proper young lady, then? The elders always like that type.”“Why did you still ask me if you’ve already decided?”“I was afraid you might have other opinions.” Jenna’s red lips leaned close to his ear as she whispered, “If you like something else, how about I bring another set over and only wear that for you?”Quinn grabbed the woman’s wandering hand. Looking at her flawless face, he narrowed his eyes.“Is this the real you? Someone who simply likes to flirt and tease?” Quinn leaned his body forward, closer to her. “Or was your brain damaged by that drug, and we need to get Jac
“I haven’t been to the company in so many days. I probably have a lot of work piled up by now.”Jenna pushed the chair away from the table and got up. “Quinn, I’ll wait for you in the underground garage after work.”Seeing she was insistent on going to work, Quinn did not say anything further. “About Isabella Summers, I’ve instructed Sam to look into it. My men have told the public that when you encountered Shawn Sadler at the hotel, Shawn Sadler attempted to assault you.”Jenna smiled. “I was worried that Isabella Summers’ death would be linked to me, making me unable to return to work. So, thank you, Quinn, for taking care of things so flawlessly.”She rounded the table and walked to the man, kissing him on the cheek as if it was a reward.Quinn was speechless. The news about Seabright Group’s director attempting to r*pe his ex-wife seemed to have spread to practically every corner of the internet.When the person involved, Jenna, arrived at Elysian Group, it was not just the
Jenna learned a lot from them and had an unusually fulfilling afternoon.After work, she said goodbye to her enthusiastic colleagues and took the elevator down to the underground garage carrying a large bag.Among the many expensive cars, the black Maybach, whose number plate was also black, was still unusually conspicuous.For the sake of going back to the family home to eat, Quinn had instructed Sam to postpone his plans for the afternoon. He came to the car before office hours even ended and used the time while waiting to look through a few emails.When he heard the car door being pulled open, he raised his head to see Jenna get in with a shopping bag in hand.Quinn instructed Sam to drive and then glanced at Jenna once more. “Didn’t you say you were going to dress up as a proper young lady? Did you change your mind at the last minute?”“Sam, please stop by Jade’s Flower Shop.”After Jenna finished speaking to Sam, she pressed the button for the car divider. Then, she pulled
