Jenna could hear the music inside the vehicle, like a cool stream of water flowing through her. "Serenade" was her favorite violin piece. At this point, Jenna felt at ease. She seemed enthralled as she tugged at the hem of her dress. While contemplating something, Gino looked sidelong at his sister and asked, "Lil Jen, is Chris pursuing you?"At first glance, he recognized Chris Avila as being fishy.Jenna was astonished when her train of thinking was cut off. "No, he's just playing around; everything will be fine within a few days."Gino laughed and turned away. "That's excellent.""Do you dislike him?"That was peculiar. The Andersons and Avilas have always gotten along well. They wouldn't have permitted Jenna to approach Chris and Robert if not."He's not suitable for you since he's had too many women, and his private life is too complicated, but if you're happy with him..." Gino had some hesitation.Jenna grinned. "What are you implying? How can I go for my friend? Besides, I'm
Jenna was startled out of her beauty slumber by the sound of her alarm clock. Last night, Jenna had asked to return to her apartment. She was much more at ease not being awake and seeing a large number of maids. When she checked her phone, she noticed that the pictures from last night's party had once again made her and Rex famous. again. [Rich ex-couple said to be reuniting?] It included a photo of Rex and Jenna kissing at the conclusion of the dance attached. It was a clever shot. Even the background and lighting had a really creative appearance. Jenna snorted and turned her back on it. She put the article away and went to check her email. Early the next morning, Luke sent Jenna a message with her itinerary. While getting ready, Jenna listened to the financial news.After a restful night's sleep, she forgot all about last night's problems and vowed never to let Rex dampen her spirits once more. Because she had just viewed the image online, Stella kept calling Jenna nonstop.
Although Emily detested Jenna because of their relationship, Emely dared not engage in a full-fledged altercation with her."Vice President Jenna, are you still harboring a grudge against me because of what occurred last time? My performance among the senior managers is among the finest, and my experience leading teams is on par with others on the list."Emely appeared to be a little unhappy.Jenna giggled while lowering her eyes. "No, I don't have a grudge against you, but I remember you were against partnering with J&J before this." Jenna said. "I'm only scared your attitude may harm our cooperation," "Emely immediately pledged, "I will abide by the Company's decision." Jenna grinned ineffectually at her. "I'm sorry, but there is no change to the list that was announced during the board meeting. The next time we have the chance, let's discuss it."She had already begun to pack up the items on her desk, making it clear to Emely that she was done with this conversation."I'm sure it
Jenna was dissatisfied when she discovered that Rex was in charge of this project. She wanted to avoid interacting with this man, but they had to meet and communicate during the collaboration.'How inconvenient.'Jenna and her crew headed to J&J Corporation the following day. Jeffrey Jinn arrived to greet them and take them to the research lab.Seeing the most recent research and successes in the lab would provide Anderson Empire with an authentic experience of their research progress.Jenna and Jeffrey were walking and conversing. A little thing scampered out of nowhere to them before they reached the lab's door.Someone from behind raised an alert. "Careful!"A closer inspection revealed a fat tiger with pointed ears and whiskers. It was tiny, adorable, and incredibly lovable. Jenna's ankle was only reached by the fuzzy small tiger. Aside from its stripes, it had no resemblance to a dangerous and beautiful tiger.When they spotted this small tiger, everyone was taken aback. Jenna ha
The man undressed his clothes without experiencing any changes in communication and got ready. He let his chest show and posed in line with the guidelines.Jenna was the sole female present and she was astounded to see this. Her cheeks flushed red, and she quickly regarded Jeffrey."What's this?" "We are gathering diverse human body parts to construct distinct humanoid companions based on individual tastes."Jenna eventually got it after hearing Jeffrey's straightforward explanation.She clenched her teeth and thought, "What an enjoyable job..."Jeffrey's helper entered quickly and uttered a few phrases in his ear. Jeffrey turned to Jenna, his expression stern."Please, Vice President Jenna, I need to take some of these guys with me, so stay here and watch things for a bit."When he said it, everybody promptly trailed him outside. Jenna was left stunned and by herself.She caressed the tiger within her embrace. "Do we need to go on?" she whispered.Before she had time to think, the n
Jenna had long since blocked Rex and cut off all contact with him. It was unexpected for her to see his name in Cris's article. Rex's comment: [Knock-off] "This circle is too small..."Although it did not cause any harm, it wasn't very respectful.Cris furiously posted a dozen cursing comments beneath Rex. Still, Rex did not respond further. "The war" had ended.Helplessly, Jenna rolled her eyes. "Cris doesn't have anything better to do, huh?""He is genuinely interested in you.That much is obvious. Why don't you give him a chance? You can take advantage of this chance to aggravate Rex.""My closest and dearest friends are not someone I will be romantically interested in. If I were interested in him, I would have gotten in touch with him long ago, so stop talking gibberish..."She was thinking about how she should work with Cris to resolve this issue."Then, disregard that; I'm eyeing a necklace. Would you like to come look with me?"There was always something for the girls to chat a
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
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
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

In a fit of rage and humiliation, Elena eventually exited the jewelry store. Stella quickly turned over the card and skimmed it over.
