At that moment, James felt upset and frustrated. "Why would you think you could leave just because our engagement is over?" he asked, displeased."James...""Do you think I brought you here so that you would become Mrs. Windsor?" James interrupted Jolene before she could speak, his eyes filled with contempt. Without waiting for Jolene's response, he continued, "I brought you here to be a servant! To serve me and to pay for your sins against me!"Feeling wronged, Jolene couldn't help but argue, "But I've been serving you for so long. Isn't that enough?""No, it isn't! Of course, it isn't!" James stared at her fiercely. "Since you dared to plot against me, be prepared to be tormented by me for the rest of your life. Do you think you can leave so easily? Dream on." James fumed inwardly, "Who do you take me for? After that despicable trick you pulled on me in the past, do you think you can make up for it with so little effort? How ridiculous!"Jolene was truly scared now. Did that m
That night, Jenny didn't get a visit from Melissa's senior, but she received a call from Jolene instead. She looked at the screen of her phone with confusion, especially when she saw that the caller was her half-sister. She felt it was somewhat unreal."Why is Jolene calling me? Strange!" Jenny thought.After a moment of contemplation, she decided to answer the call. After all, Jolene posed no threat to her now, and she was curious about what she had to say."Jenny," Jolene's voice came through the phone, thick with sobs.Jenny was surprised and asked, "What's wrong?""I want to leave Bardoff City and go abroad with my mother. I won't appear in front of you anymore, okay?" she said.Jenny chuckled at her words. "What does that have anything to do with me? You can go anywhere you like with Rowena. Why would you need my permission?"However, she was still concerned about the news that Rowena was going abroad. She felt that they were letting Rowena off too easily if she was allowed
After hanging up on Jolene, Jenny immediately dialed James' number without any delay. The call took a while to connect, and James' voice came through, saying, "Jenny, why are you calling so late? What's the matter?"At James' question, Jenny didn't know what to say for a moment and fell into silence. "Jenny?" James called her name, sounding worried.Taking a deep breath, Jenny decided it was best to be direct instead of beating around the bush. "James, Jolene just called me."James' face immediately darkened upon hearing that, though Jenny couldn't see it. "She said she wants to go abroad with Rowena, but you won't let her.""That's right. She had plotted against me, and we're not even yet. Of course I won't let her go." James tried to keep his emotions in check and not let them fluctuate too much. It wasn't worth getting emotional over a woman like Jolene.Jenny frowned, her intuition telling her that this wasn't the real reason James was stopping Jolene from leaving. "James,
Jolene finally opened the door. On the one hand, she was afraid that James would wreck the door, and on the other hand, she understood since this was James' house, he could still unlock the door with his keys even if she refused to open up."Why...why are you looking for me?" Jolene looked at him reluctantly, fear written all over her face."Ah!"The next second, James lifted Jolene, and the feeling of being suspended in midair amplified her fear to the extreme. "James! What are you doing? Are you crazy?""I underestimated you. You had the gall to call Jenny. Don't you feel ashamed?" James asked her, eyes stormy and cold.Upon hearing that, Jolene's emotions became immensely complicated. While she was happy that Jenny called James, she was also saddened at the same time by James' huge reaction, which was likely because of Jenny. She thought that James reacted that way because he was displeased that she'd disturbed Jenny.Jolene gritted her teeth and tried to keep her fear from
When news of it reached Jenny's ears, her anxious heart finally settled. Fortunately, things were not as bad as she had imagined. She didn't pay much attention to the matter after that. In her opinion, as long as Jolene left, the matter was considered over.She continued to work diligently at Bardoff Hospital. After some time in the hospital, she had slowly built up her reputation. Now, there were quite a few people who came to her for treatment every day, and Jenny had once again found a sense of accomplishment of her own.After a busy day, she was exhausted. She changed her clothes and walked out of the hospital, intending to go back early and rest. However, she didn't expect to see Flint, who hadn't shown up for the past few days, waiting for her today.It was not that Jenny had seen a picture of him beforehand. Flint wore a black tracksuit and stood right before the hospital entrance, making his presence known. It was easy to guess who he was since he was being so obvious about
Flint rolled his eyes at her and said, "As martial artists, we value the reputation of our masters the most. Your defeating both Jonathan and Melissa successively has brought great shame to us. My main purpose of coming here is to uphold my master's dignity!" As for avenging Jonathan, it was secondary. In his opinion, Jonathan was inferior in skill, and if he died, he could only blame it on his lackluster skills. Revenge wasn't strictly necessary. But the problem was Jenny defeated Jonathan and then Melissa. Wouldn't that mean Tywin Munster's disciple was stronger than Olanna Roy's disciples? Jenny thought, "How was I supposed to know that was what you were thinking? If you come looking for trouble, I can't just sit around and wait to get my ass kicked, can I?"Melissa didn't expect Flint to harbor such thoughts, so she was immediately irritated upon hearing his words. "Flint! Do you think you're the spokesperson for our master? Master hasn't even spoken up yet, so why are you sti
Flint took a deep look at her but didn't say anything else. "Let's call it a draw this time. Neither of us won."Jenny was about to refuse, but Flint didn't wait for her to speak and had already walked toward the parking lot exit.Seeing him walk away, Jenny was speechless. "Has he always been like this?""Do you find him strange?" Melissa asked as she looked in the direction of the retreating Flint.Jenny nodded. "He's a little strange indeed, but he's not as bad as you make him out to be."Melissa shrugged. She couldn't really tell what was going on in Flint's mind. Seeing that the matter was over without causing too much commotion, she breathed a sigh of relief."Anyway, I'm glad we didn't get into an ugly fight with Flint. It's a pity I didn't have a chance to make a move."As soon as she finished speaking, her phone rang. Melissa glanced at her phone screen and found it was a call from the bar's management. She answered the call and listened to the person on the other end e
Jenny wanted to turn him down, but she was a bit hesitant. After all, she didn't exactly have any conflicts with Luke. It seemed rather unreasonable for her to refuse him outrightly. She thought she shouldn't let Alec affect her that much.As she thought about it, Luke continued, "Jenny, Walter Inc and Faust Group haven't tried collaborating over the years. I happen to have a good project in hand now. Why don't you consider it?""Since you put it that way, what reason do I have to refuse you?" Jenny agreed with a polite smile. It was also at that moment she realized the reason why she didn't like Luke.Luke was the kind of person who would not give up until he achieved his goal, and to do that, he wouldn't bat an eye when resorting to unscrupulous means. That was why Jenny instinctively disliked him.However, as Luke had mentioned, both families had never worked together before. If he really had a good project in hand, Jenny wouldn't mind having a meal with him. After all, it was j
