There were many influential people in the magnificent banquet hall. Every visitor in attendance was an expert in their industry. Jenna was mentally ready to run into Rex once more. She had already let him go, so her heart didn't flutter when she saw him. Even though everyone knew Rex had a former spouse, Rex had never brought her to formal events. Everyone had only heard of her by name, even when the previous statement went viral online. Jenna giggled lightly as she noticed Alice standing beside Rex and wondered, "She took my spot so soon?' Gino lovingly patted her arm after noticing how she was feeling. "Don't be frightened. I am with you."Jenna's grin broadened. "No, I'm not theone who should be afraid." 'I don't worry anymore.' 'What exactly should I fear? I'minvincible!' Gino approached Rex. A pair of menwere both equally popular andsimilar in every way. "I've heard a lot about you, Mr. Hidalgo." "So have I, Mr. Anderson." After shaking hands, the two men instantly
Alice's expression was pained asShe approached Jenna step by step."Jenna.."As Jenna stood there, she was aware and could see someone approaching her.Besides Alice, she was aware that no one would approach her.She nonchalantly cast a sidelong glance andobserved Alice's friendly face. That appeared so pitiful.Jenna saw Alice approaching and had already withdrawn her chilly smirk. She was acting."Did you attend the dinner on purpose? Why? Did you want to approach him? Did you want to see Rex? You are divorced, so why are you clinging on?If I were you, I would run away from him. Don't come seeking trouble."Jenna gave Alice a critical look and an arrogant look."Alice Florence, everybody recognizes you as the mistress. Did you have a good time recently?Since this controversy gained notoriety, internet users have researched Alice Florence, who was regularly spotted around Rex Hidalgo.Rex had already removed those posts, but Alice was now known as "the homewrecker" and received co
The guests regarded the group strangely. Everybody was aware of the Hidalgo controversy, but the Hidalgos were powerful that none dared add fuel and only observed the flames of the drama develop. Is Rex's ex-wife not as blameless as she appears? Rex Hidalgo made a slight pout and thought that Alice was being unkind. He was preparing to leave. When he came over and dragged Alice away, he saw Jenna turn around with a cold face. When everyone was still dumbfounded, Jenna was perplexed and grabbed Alice's arm as she advanced to the pool. Alice looked precisely like a helpless puppy. Jenna took her along and did not even have a chance to take offense. Alice was being held by Jenna, who was giving her a firm slap in the face. It caused Alice to cry out in agony. Jenna then let go of her hold. Alice then had a fall into the pool with a large splash. Alice's scream quickly came to an end as she fought in the water, startled and degraded. Jenna took her hand away. Her tone was icy and ste
"Rex, this is what you have paid me for over two years for my blood. Now that I've paid you back, we owe each other nothing." Jenna's tone was firm and icy. Rex had deep, dark eyes, and his current state of mind was incredibly intricate. The crowd was clear about the situation at this moment. Earlier, Jenna was classified as a gold-digger who clung to Rex for his gold monetary resources, but in an instant, Jenna struck him in the face by returning all of Rex's possessions lent to her. Alice's standing had been wasted with this incident. Jenna made a stylish exit.Alice was left with a chattering companion, teeth shivering in the chilly air. 'This woman is my nemesis.' "Let's simply leave, Rex; Jenna must be upset at me again."Rex refused to let go of this opportunity to clear things up with Jenna and said to Alice, "Wait for me at the entrance." He immediately entered after that andobserved Jenna occupying a deck chair while the renowned Gino Anderson knelt by her side and rubb
Despite Alice's pleading in the automobile, Rex felt like he hadno place to express his rage. 'Was anything real over the last two years if this was fake?' A sleek sports car slowly stopped at the side of the road as Rex rushed off into the chilly wind. He received a wave from someone inside who said, "Bro! Get in..." Additionally, Mark Martinez attended the dinner earlier to network andexperience the show. Rex stormed out, and Mark grew bored and did the same. He did not anticipate seeing Rex strolling by himself along the highway. Rex lit a cigarette while seated in the passenger seat. He stiffened when he saw the smoke because it reminded him of Jenna's figure earlier, holding a cigarette. "Bro, you saw Jenna, right? What's her connection to Gino Anderson from West City?" Rex became further enraged after Mark's query. Rex did not want to respond to these inquiries, the answers to which he did not even know. Thankfully, there were no journalists present. Otherwise, it would
Elena, who was gambling her money away in the Philippines on the other side of the Atlantic, was oblivious that news of her stealing her family's jewelry went viral back home. Her reputation was ruined. Once Elena returned to New York, the ladies in her elite circle looked at her contemptuously. In addition, Jenna, who they had expelled from the Hidalgo family, was the one who initially instigated everything. Elena had spotted Jenna in this eatery, so she gritted her teeth in resentment. Elena had trampled Jenna underfoot in the past because of her unidentified origins. After seeing Jenna again, she went to speak with the restaurant manager. The manager arrived quickly after hearing the disturbance. All of the diners at this restaurant were influential people with reservations who could not afford to offend. "I'm sorry, Ms. Hidalgo." "She's affecting my mood for dinner. Get her out of here! We're your VIP customers!" hissed Elena, wanting to hit Jenna several times to relieve
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
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
