When Jenna awoke, her head, neck, and arms were all wrapped in bandages. Even a slight movement made her suck a breath of cold air.She had been detained at the detention center.A police officer who came over to deliver the food said to her, “You are suspected of attempting to murder the CEO of Seabright Group, Shawn Sadler. Be obedient and stay put for your court summons!”She really hated herself for not keeping a close enough eye on that car and letting Shawn escape!Jenna did not want to sit here waiting for her fate, so she called a police officer over. “I want to make a call to hire a lawyer in my defense.”The police officer just scoffed and ignored her.Later that night, the police officer reappeared. This time, he was leading two women to the detention cell and proceeding to uncuff them.Right after they entered, they glanced at her with unfriendly gazes, and she shrunk back in vigilance.She managed to hold out half of the night until she could not resist it anymore and fell
“C-Call…” Jenna stated a series of numbers, nails pressed into the woman’s neck.The woman’s legs became weak, and she immediately looked to Yvonne for help.“D-don’t do anything rash, Jenna…” Yvonne had not expected Jenna to do that and was shocked. “You don’t even have a family anymore. Who could you ask for help?”She had been friends with Jenna for a few years now and knew every single one of Jenna’s friends. Those with good families had all been bought over by her.She definitely would not be able to find someone who would help her.“I told you… to make the call!” Jenna said through gritted teeth. Her nails had already pierced the skin of the woman’s neck. The woman was so scared that her legs were shaking, and her mouth was agape.Yvonne’s expression darkened. Afraid the woman would accidentally say her name, she clenched her teeth and called the number Jenna had reported.Very soon, the call got through. “Hello?”Jenna’s eyes welled up with tears when she heard the familiar voic
Quinn Forester felt a flash of displeasure. He picked up the bowl of porridge he had brought in and took a sip. Then, he leaned down, kissed the woman to pry her teeth open, and force-fed her the porridge.Perhaps due to her body being too hungry, Jenna instinctively swallowed the porridge in her sleep.In this manner of feeding her sip by sip, the bowl of porridge quickly emptied into Jenna’s stomach, and Quinn’s tightly furrowed brows also loosened.He was about to withdraw the hand supporting Jenna’s neck when she gripped it tightly, holding it to her face.“Mom…!” It was like Jenna had found a lifeline as she murmured. Hot tears quickly covered the man’s hand. “I really miss you… Take me with you…!”Quinn looked at the woman quietly, his eyes full of indifference. “Jenna, the only one who can save you is yourself.”With that, he withdrew his hand without hesitation and left the room.In her dream, Jenna saw her long-dead parents run to her to reprimand her for falling for Shawn and
When she woke up the next day, Jenna went downstairs nervously only to find Quinn Forester not around. However, his driver, Sam, was.“Morning, Miss Radcliff,” Sam greeted Jenna. “Mr. Forester has instructed me to bring you shopping for some clothes later.”“Alright.” Jenna nodded, internally puzzled.If that man was not interested in her body, why was he treating her so well?After having her breakfast, Sam drove Jenna to the biggest shopping mall in the city.He told Jenna to go ahead and start shopping while he went to look for parking.Due to her grandmother’s death, Jenna was still a little dazed as she walked through the mall.“Miss, these are all the latest styles. Feel free to try them on.” The sound of talking suddenly drifted into her ears, pulling Jenna back to her senses.Only then did she realize she had walked into a luxury clothes store without knowing and was standing by a clothes rack.Recalling that she had come out to buy clothes, she pulled herself together. Just as
“Finding a parking space took me some time.” The one who came was none other than Sam. He said, “Miss Radcliff, did you see anything you liked? If not, let’s go somewhere else.” Yvonne endured the pain as she shouted loudly at Sam, “Don’t be fooled by her! Your girlfriend isn’t some great person. She’s incredibly dirty!”Sam did not even look at her and only said to Jenna, “Miss Radcliff, let’s go.”The two quickly left the store.Yvonne watched as the two simply walked away, so angry that she wanted to scream. She took out her phone to call the police station, only to find out that the deputy chief was on a business trip and the security cameras in the store were not on. Since she had no substantial evidence, the police naturally could not arrest Jenna.Was watching Jenna walk free all she could do?The more she thought about it, the more Yvonne felt aggrieved. She left her two friends and headed to Seabright.Shawn Sadler was looking through some documents when he heard a knock at
Hearing the malicious words coming from the people surrounding her, Jenna pursed her pink lips and walked to the refreshments table to grab a flute of champagne.She knew everything that had happened at the hotel had been Shawn’s design, including the way the news had spread across the internet so quickly. All this could also not have been done without Shawn’s people fanning the flames behind the scenes.Everyone in Hevedburgh probably knew about her ‘glorious’ deeds by now.However, she only had one mouth, and no matter how she tried to explain those people would not believe it anyway. So why not pretend she could not hear?Jenna took two sips of her champagne as she swept her gaze across the hall, noticing that this banquet was done very grandly. The distinguished names of the Hevedburgh business world were all in attendance.She felt fortunate that the man needed her. It meant she was still of use to him and had the chance to negotiate.Only, she did not know what Mr. Forester neede
Once Jenna steadied herself, she glanced to the side and saw Quinn standing there quietly in a black suit, his hands in his pockets. He exuded a cold apathy from head to toe.His arrival was like a calming agent and made Jenna feel a lot more at ease.Jenna pursed her pink lip, about to say something, only to find a lot of commotion around her. Many had gathered around and were currently whispering to each other.“Oh, my God! That’s Quinn Forester!”“When did he come back? He actually attended this banquet!”What?!Jenna once again looked at the indifferent man standing beside her, her gaze full of shock.Although the Radcliffs were a wealthy family, they were incomparable to the Foresters, who had hundreds of years of history behind them. The Foresters' business was beyond the reach of these small wealthy families, let alone those who knew the Forester family.Jenna only knew about the Foresters from her circle of friends.She heard that the Foresters’ main business was under the cont
Yvonne was chatting with a few rich wives while discussing unrestrainedly Jenna’s fall from grace when she glimpsed Jenna returning to the banquet hall. A cold smile curled the corner of her mouth.This woman was truly pitiful. She had already been humiliated and still had the courage to come back!Before Yvonne could even open her mouth, Mrs. Symons dragged Jenna over. “You slapped Miss Nelson tens of times and think you can just leave it at that? Apologize to her!”“She deserves it! After all, she’s the other woman. Why should I apologize to her?” Jenna shook Mrs. Symons’ hand off and said nonchalantly.Compared to her wretched appearance earlier, the current Jenna was dazzling and glamorous.Yvonne could not understand how Jenna had suddenly found confidence, having merely gone to the bathroom. With a hint of grievance, she said, “Jenna, we used to be friends. You were the one who ruined yourself, yet you’re trying to slander me the same way?”Quinn Forester had already expressed e
