Elena's brow furrowed. A cup of cold water had been thrown on her face and body as she cried and noticed it.Jenna dusted her hands before putting the ornamental bottle in the sink. 'You asked for this!' she added with a serene look."Jenna, how dare you!" Elena's face was red with rage. She was trembling. She was wearing a dress from Dior's ready-to-wear line. It was less expensive than Jenna's custom-made gown, but it still cost an eight-figure sum tag. Many famous people were not even eligible to look at it, but suddenly it was destroyed!Jenna grinned. Her eyes were not involved in her smile. "Do you really think I'll put up with you like before? If you dare provoke me again, I'll teach you a lesson and settle the new and old accounts together!"When Elena noticed a piercing coldness in Jenna's gaze, she trembled. She couldn't help but experience fear.But she didn't want to think nearly as much at this point. She was revered everywhere she went since she was the Young Lady of the
Elena, after all, appeared miserable and took some time to leave the restroom. Rex gave Jenna a severe look. His sculpted face bore a questioning look."Why did you remain silent when my family treated you this way?"Jenna arched her eyebrow and asked, "What?" Her eyes were uninterested, so she was surprised by his statement."Why didn't you tell me?" I said."If she had told me, I would have forbidden my family from torturing her," she said. I most certainly would. Rex looked intently at Jenna as if he didn't want to let go of even the slightest expression of emotion on her face.Jenna grinned. "We're divorced now, so there's no use in bringing it up again. It's all in the past."'Talking about it now will only make me look even worse.' she thought."What harm would it do to discuss our divorce now that we are separated? You ought to explain why you suddenly wanted a divorce out of nowhere. Isn't that right?" The man repressed his pounding heart in his chest and cast a menacing gla
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
As Jenna exited the room, Jeffrey Jin approached her with an apologetic expression. "Jenna, I want to apologize again if I overstepped earlier. As a gesture of goodwill, I'd like to take you to our newly built lab. Would you be interested?"Jenna considered his offer for a moment before nodding. "Alright, let's go."Jeffrey led her to a sleek, black car parked discreetly outside. "For security reasons, I'll need you to ride with me," he explained. "The lab's location is confidential, so the windows are tinted to prevent any visual clues."As they settled into the car, Jenna noticed the opaque curtains that blocked any view of the outside world. She couldn't help but admire Jeffrey's meticulousness. The journey was smooth, and after some time, the car came to a gentle stop.Upon exiting, Jenna was taken aback by the unassuming exterior of the building before her. It looked like any other industrial facility, giving no hint of the advanced technology housed within.Inside, the atmospher
Jenna sat across from Jeffrey and Rex in the private dining room of the restaurant, her fingers drumming against the table as she locked eyes with Jeffrey. The air was thick with unspoken tension, but she wasted no time cutting through it."Tell me, Jeffrey," Jenna began, her tone cool and unwavering. "Is this meeting a setup?" She crossed her arms and leaned back. "I deliberately rejected every single appointment request from Rex, yet here I am, sitting at the same table with him. That doesn’t feel like a coincidence."Jeffrey exhaled, rubbing the back of his neck before offering her a sheepish smile. "I won’t lie to you, Jenna. I arranged this meeting knowing he would be here, but I had no ill intentions. I just… needed to make an exception this time."Jenna arched a brow, unimpressed. "And why is that?""Because, despite everything, this project is important for all of us," Jeffrey said sincerely. "I promise you, I remain neutral between the two of you. But as a gesture of goodwill
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
