Rex watched as Gino's car gradually drove away with narrowed eyes and a sullen expression. The divorced Jenna was like a derailed train. He could not figure out which direction she was heading. Jenna would have been very cautious around him in the past, but now, she dared to speak those ungracious words fearlessly. Elena was reluctant to let Jenna get away so quickly and wanted to stop their car, but Rex yanked her back. "That's enough!" "Brother, how can you side with an outsider? Jenna bullying me is the same as disrespecting our family! That ungrateful bitch forgot who fed, clothed, and accommodated her these past two years. She needs to be taught a lesson!" "Elena, the jewelry in the safe at Imperial Palace is all for Jenna. Why did you take them without permission?" Rex reminded her. Although he had not taken the initiative to give it to Jenna, everything at the Imperial Palace belonged to him and Jenna. "Brother, I'm your sister! It's just a piece of jewelry, so why are
Elena tugged on Rex's arm. "Brother, you have to help me. Didn't Jenna take your money to support her lover? She has an affair with that man." Elena was removed from his arm by Rex. As he spit out, he had a sulky tone. It would be best if you didn't mess with Gino Anderson from West City. He's someone you can't afford to mess with." He began to be doubtful. 'Was the divorce not just my problem? Perhaps the entire Hidalgo family is the problem..." Elena was speechless. Although she had never met Gino Anderson, she knew he was the most eligible bachelor in West City, even though she had never met him. He was so mysterious and noble. Countless women would bend backward to marry this man, but Jenna was with him? She was agitated. She was forced to seek assistance from others because her brother did not support her. Elena immediately made a phone call. "Mark, Jenna bullied me. You have to help me.." Jenna watched at Gino Anderson's office in the Anderson Empire as Gino made her a cup
"Since you're here, you don't have to leave yet. Why don't you accompany me for a drink?" The man's gaze was lecherous as he flashed a cunning smile. His tone was half-threatening and half-coaxing. Stella was already drunk. The man was holding her neck, and looked like he could drag her away at any time. Jenna looked straight at the man and said calmly, "Let her go." The man called to her with smugly hooked lips. Jenna knew without having to think that the drink had to be poisoned, "Come here and drink this, and then I'll let her go." Even so, she did not hesitate and walked over, but an onlooker discouraged her. "Miss, don't go over first. Call the police. This guy is a notorious gang leader." 'Even a gangster dares to bully me now?' Jenna turned to look at the other guy and said, "Thanks for your concern, but don't worry." She was fed up and laughed instead of getting angry. "If I go over, you'll release her?" "Sure. Come over then..." The man smiled lewdly and thought
Late at night, the paparazzi quietly posted the edited clip online, leaving out the background story. They posted Jenna's violent actions. At a glance, it looked like Jenna was bullying the man without reason. After a good night's sleep, Jenna did not forget that it was her first official day at work and woke up on time to pick out her outfit. Stella drove over in her little convertible and pushed the door in furiously. "Jenna! All those people online are berating you again! Jenna paused slightly. "Berating me? Why?" Stella showed Jenna the video that the paparazzi posted. It was only ten seconds, but it clearly showed the stark contrast between Jenna's aggressive look and the man's miserable appearance. The following comments were all about Jenna's screw-up. Rex Hidalgo's ex-wife had a rendezvous at a bar late at night and even beat someone up. Some people also commented on how ruthless Jenna was. This incident pushed Jenna into the top trending topics on social media. Un
For a moment, the atmosphere in the meeting room was tense and awkwardly silent. Emely Fernandez felt humiliated. She had been in the company for so many years and got to her position with much effort, so she did not mean to leave just like that. Gino Anderson standing up for the newcomer Jenna was also a slap in the face for Emely. The meeting room was silent, and everyone looked at each other. Jenna made a slight frown. She wanted to avoid becoming a target as soon as she took office. Emely rose hesitantly, her cheeks flushed as she was about to defuse the tension in the room. "President Anderson, I sincerely apologize for my behavior, and I respect the company's choice and look forward to working with Ms. Jenna." "Good. Meeting adjourned." Gino did not say much. He did not want to waste another minute and left the meeting room imposingly. Emely then let out a long breath of relief. Although many others disagreed about Jenna's arrival, they dared not oppose Gino's authority. Jen
Jenna used her newly registered social media account to post this. Soon, many influencers began to share her post, which turned the tide. Everyone started to watch the drama unfold.Before this, only a few knew about Jenna's new social media handle, but because of this post, her following skyrocketed. Some people even started to dig up Mark Martinez's details.Hidalgo CorporationMark ran into Rex's office in a huff. "Bro! That ex-wife of yours is trying to destroy me!"Rex looked up from the document he was reading and swept him a faint glance.Mark found the spiteful comments about him online and showed them to Rex. He angrily said, "She's trying to shame me in public! This is just too much! Look, this is her true self! This b*tch is up to no good. Now, my wife is making a fuss andwants a divorce! You have to help me, bro.."Rex frowned. His eyes darkened as he looked through the comments on Mark's phone. After a long time, he said in a deep voice, "So, you intended to cyberbully he
Jenna took out her phone and looked at the trending topics, then snickered andput it aside without a thought.She was familiar with the Martinez family's background and knew Mark's parents must have pressured him. Otherwise, knowing hischaracter, he would never willingly admit his fault. Mark must be hating her guts at this moment.There was a knock at the door. Emely let herself in and smiled. "Ms. Jenna, Jenna, is it convenient for me to come in and talk?"Jenna nodded. "Please, come in." Emely walked in and glanced at Stella as if she did not want to speak in the presence of a third person, but Stella was not wise enough to waitoutside."What's the matter?""l saw that Mr. Luke Flores is preparing some information regarding J&J's project. Ms.Jenna, you might not know this, but we don't have much of a relationship with J&J Corporation and have a slim chance of cooperation. If you want to gain your footing in the company, why don't you cooperate with PH Corporation? I knowthey h
Rex followed Mark's gaze and was instantly stunned when he saw her.Jenna was wearing a long silver-gray dress that was flared and glittery at the hemline and corseted at her slender waist. It made her look so tall and beautiful.Her long wavy hair was draped over her back and her temperament was incredibly striking.Mark cursed under his breath. "What kind of small world is this?! How can I run into someone I hate when I just want a drink..."Stella's group naturally noticed Rex and Mark. Although they did not want to see their faces, there was no reason to ignore them now that they ran into each other."Mr. Martinez, have you finished cleaning up your messy love life? How are you still in the mood to come out for a drink? I guess the impact of that photo is still too small, huh?" Stella scoffed. Mark was not willing to show any weakness and glared at the culprit Jenna at the back. He sneered and said, "Jenna, I underestimated you. I didn't expect you to be a completely different pe
The meeting room was dead silent for a full minute.Mr. Skilinzie's face was red, and he did not expect that Jenna would turn the gun on them. He said, "It's not..." Jenna interrupted him without a care. "I believe you've all received notice this morning that I'm managing everything in the company in Mr. Anderson's absence. I'm in charge of this project, so if you don't want to be a part of it from now on, hand me your letter of resignation immediately. Your positions will be replaced by your deputies. I will explain everything to Mr. Anderson." The people in the room were shocked and silenced. They had all stepped over each other to climb to their department head positions, and their deputies were eyeing their spots. It was a sought-after position, so no one dared to act rashly at this moment.Although they could not stand that Jenna had parachuted into her Vice President position, they could all tell how much Gino had supported her since the first day she arrived. They knew that t
At that moment, Jenna felt an unexpected intensity in Chris's demeanor, a stark departure from the carefree young man she had known just two years ago. It was as if he had transformed into a more sophisticated version of himself, a master of his destiny. Jenna found herself entangled in his gaze, lost in contemplation."He's not the same frivolous young master as he was two years ago," she thought, her mind racing to make sense of the shift.Panicking, Jenna quickly gathered her composure, determined not to reveal her inner turmoil. She had experienced the whirlwind of love before and had no intention of getting caught up in it again, no matter how tempting it might be."Avila, you're getting better at coaxing women now, huh?" she teased, trying to deflect attention from her unease.Chris, slightly taken aback, chuckled and took a step back. "No one else is qualified enough for me to coax."Jenna raised an eyebrow teasingly, "Right... If your girlfriends lined up, they could probably
After Jenna eloquently expressed her thoughts, she retreated to the private room to make a call to Chris and make her exit. However, as she was about to get into her car, a sudden realization struck her – she had left her bag in the private room. Contemplating whether to retrieve it or not, Chris intervened, assuring her, "I'll get it. You can wait in the car." Without uttering another word, Chris left Jenna standing there. Intrigued, Jenna decided to follow him, only to unexpectedly cross paths with Rex and Mark, both on their way out. Preferring to avoid unnecessary trouble, Jenna refrained from approaching and instead positioned herself on the other side of the fountain at the entrance. Mark, initiating a conversation, remarked, "I heard that Alice is coming back soon?" Rex responded with a resonant "mm." Mark continued, "I haven't seen her in so long. I miss her. Although she was at fault, your punishment was a little too heavy. She's one of us, so you should forgive her." As
Rex did not make a sound on the side, but his eyes had a chill in them. Jenna laughed lightly and took Chris's arm. She raised an eyebrow and said, "What does it matter to you how many men I change or how many people I date? Mr. Martinez, do you wanna date me too?" Mark was dissatisfied and felt infuriated. 'Why do I always get bullied by Jenna?!' "You? You're not my type!" "To be honest, the last time I saw your body, it's not that great. You'd better date women with no taste. I'm very strict about my requirements for men's physique." "How dare you say my body's not great!" Mark's face turned red and white as he shook with anger, but he did not dare to say another word. His nudes were in her hands, so it left him with no choice but to retreat. He also heard what Jenna implied. 'Is this woman threatening me?' Chris laughed at the side. "Her standards have always been very high. Mr. Matinez, if we continue talking, it
Jenna cast a sidelong glance as if he were a stranger, the man outside the elevator. The elevator door closed, and the man was finally out of her sight.The question had been bothering him for a while, and he finally asked it when they were in Rolland's fancy sports vehicle. "Is this thing worth a lot of money? Why is the Hidalgo family so desperate for it?" Jenna chuckled as she turned to face the box she was holding."This object is millennia old. I heard it originated in a royal palace and had been passed down through the Hidalgo family for nearly eight centuries. Do you believe its value to be high?" Rolland was visibly astonished, and his speed reduced. "This is just incredible! Did they put up an auction for such a valuable thing? No wonder Rex Hidalgo asked Jenna to state her price. If Jenna asked for nine figures, Rex probably wouldn't even have the slightest hesitation!'Jenna's phone suddenly rang. She looked at it and saw that it was Gino, so she happily picked up the call.
Seeing the oncoming person, Dianne's eyes immediately turned red as she walked over emotionally. "Rex...""Brother, Jenna snatched away the pipe! That's Grandpa's favorite. If he can't find it, he'll surely make a big fuss!" Elena spoke in a panic.Rex stood in the doorway looking very tall and handsome. His body was half-hidden in the shadows as he stared at the people in the room with cold eyes."Shut up! How dare you steal from Grandpa?" He spoke in a harsh tone and scolded Elena, who shuddered in fear and hid behind her mother, not daring to look up.Behind Rex was the person in charge of this event, who stood there with trepidation. The organizer glanced at the staff on the side and asked, "Are the formalities done?""Yes, everything is settled." The staff replied cautiously.Since everything was done and dusted, Jenna was not afraid of anything. After all, their precious family heirloom was in her hands, so she could call the shots.Jenna looked at Rolland, who was next to her. "
The employee kindly placed the emerald pipe before Jenna.She took it up and examined it. There was a tiny red area around the base of the tobacco pipe.'So this is the real one.' Jenna thought to herself."Thank you," Jenna said to the employee.She paid no attention to the two women who were in her peripheral view.Dianne was unable to tolerate it any longer and snorted icily."Are your eyes on your feet, Jenna? Are you not aware of how to act civil when you see your elders?"'How did she handle me in the past? She never dealt with me fairly when I was her daughter-in-law and anticipates that I would now treat her as an elder?'Jenna's gaze wavered. She raise an eyebrow and said "Oh, Mrs. Hidalgo, how coincidental that you are here as well!"Her remarks were sufficient for Dianne topass away from frustration.Anger reddened Dianne's face. "Do you believe that simply because you have a backer, you don't have to show me any respect? Remember that I am your mother-in-law!"Prior to t
There was a commotion as Jenna was the center of attention for everyone.Rolland gave Jenna a perplexed look."What do you want this for?"Jenna hooked her lips. "It looks lovely, don't you think?""I don't think so. It looks like an ordinary tobacco pipe... what's so nice about it?"Jenna saw the look in Dianne and Elena's eyes on her, so she gave a hesitant smile and not avert her eyes from them.The mother-daughter Hidalgo duo were clearly taken aback. They were aware, that Jenna identified this emerald pipe.Dianne had already requested Jenna totidy the memorial hall by herself. Dianne purposefully removed the pipe from the lockbox and set it down on a top shelf, hoping Jenna wouldwould unintentionally run into the shelf and break the emerald pipe.If that happen, Old Master Hidalgowould undoubtedly expel Jenna from theirfamily, but Jenna was smart enough to avoid touching it.Had it not been for the security camera in the memorial hall, Dianne would havebroken it herself and
In a fit of rage and humiliation, Elena eventually exited the jewelry store. Stella quickly turned over the card and skimmed it over. Surprised herself, she asked, "How did you get this card?""My third brother gave it to me on my eighteenth birthday. He told me to bring it wherever I go. I didn't expect it to come handy," Jenna remarked, pursed lips."I'm envious and jealous that God didn't give me a third brother," Stella asked, clutching her brow."If you like it so much, I'll give it to you," Jenna said, laughing and handing it to her."Not at all! This card never expires. Once transferred, it becomes invalid, so you keep it, but need to purchase my favorites."Stella gladly took Jenna around the mall after they bought the jewelry, and then they left.When Jenna returned to the office, she was in a terrific mood. Emily had been making little movements, but Jenna ignored her and left her alone.She was aware that Gino could see and hear everything Emily did. Jenna had no intention
