Jenna walked away in style. Elena's face was pale, and before she could react, Dianne cursed loudly on the side and told the waiter to clean up the mess. "Is this b*tch Jenna crazy?! How dare she do this to you?" Dianne spoke viciously. In the blink of an eye, the manager had already led Jenna to the VIP room on the other side of the restaurant. Elena's hair and clothes were soaked through with red wine. She looked wretched. When she returned to her senses, she was so furious that she wanted to go after Jenna to settle the score, but the waiter stopped her. "Miss, do you need a change of clothes?" The surrounding customers stared at the miserable-looking Elena, who stomped her foot indignantly. "I won't let her get away with this!" Gino was in a bad mood after that encounter, but Jenna was unaffected. She looked up at Gino and smiled. "G, I have a shopping date with Stella later. Do you wanna join us?" The man gave her a sidelong glance, and his tone was cold. "How are you still
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
After realizing the situation, Rex picked up the pen but hesitated. His fingers hovered over the first page before he set the pen down and leaned back. "Mike, schedule an appointment with Jenna’s office. I need to speak with her."Mike stiffened slightly but nodded. "Right away, sir."A few moments later, Mike returned, his expression unreadable. "Sir, Ms. Jenna’s office declined your appointment. Her assistant said her schedule is full."Rex’s jaw tensed. "Full? She’s deliberately avoiding me."Mike remained silent, not daring to comment. Rex let out a slow breath, rubbing his face in frustration. He should’ve expected this. After everything he had done, Jenna had every reason to shut him out.---The Hidalgo's intrusion had been exactly as she expected—a power play. Chairman Hidalgo had attempted to humiliate her, questioning her identity and trying to tarnish her reputation.Too bad for him, she wasn’t the woman she used to be.As she sat in her chair, her phone buzzed. She glanced
Chairman Hidalgo stormed into the grand Hidalgo mansion, his fury unyielding even as the evening air cooled around him. The heavy oak doors slammed shut behind him, echoing through the expansive halls. Servants quickly scurried out of his way, recognizing the thunderous expression on his face. He had never been humiliated like this—dismissed so quickly, as if he were nothing.Elena followed closely behind, her arms crossed as she watched her grandfather seethe. “Grandfather, I told you she wouldn’t just hand it over.”“That woman!” Chairman Hidalgo growled, tossing his coat onto a nearby chair. “She has no respect, no gratitude. She was nothing before Rex, and now she dares to act superior?”Elena placed a hand on his arm, her voice calculated and persuasive. “Jenna has always been defiant, but we can still stop her. We must ensure she has no allies or means of support.” She paused, her eyes gleaming. “You should speak with Chairman Marcus Anderson.”Chairman Hidalgo frowned. “Marcus
Rex arrived just as his grandfather and sister stormed out of Jenna’s office, both wearing matching scowls of frustration. He had expected chaos the moment he received the frantic call from his secretary, informing him that Old Master Hidalgo and Elena had barged into Jenna’s office unannounced.Seeing them standing outside, seething, made his stomach churn with irritation. “Grandfather,” he started, his voice level but firm, “you had no right to barge in like that.”Old Master Hidalgo scoffed. “That woman has no respect for her elders! We tried to reason with her, but she refused to listen.”Rex turned to Elena, his gaze sharp. “And you,” he snapped, “I should’ve known you were behind this.”Elena folded her arms and rolled her eyes. “She’s the one making things difficult. We’re only trying to get back what belongs to us.”Rex exhaled sharply, his patience wearing thin. “Do you even realize how much of a mess you’ve made? That pipe is a family heirloom, not an item you can sell.”Ele
Jenna stepped into her office, her gaze sharp as she saw Old Master Hidalgo and Elena seated as if they owned the place. The arrogance in their demeanor was almost laughable. She knew why they were here, but she had no intention of making this easy for them."Rude! How can you come in without knocking first?" Old Master Hidalgo barked, his expression twisted in irritation.Jenna smirked, shutting the door behind her. "Chairman Hidalgo, I never knock when I come into my office."Elena let out a soft, derisive chuckle, crossing her legs with an air of superiority. "Jenna, let's not be difficult. You were once part of our family. We know how hard it must have been for you after leaving Rex."Jenna raised a brow. "Hard?" She folded her arms and leaned against her desk. "You mean walking away with my dignity intact rather than begging for scraps? I never asked for money during the divorce, and I certainly don't need or want it now."Old Master Hidalgo's face twitched in irritation. He was
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.
