A wicked gleam appeared in Jocelyn's eyes. She spat, "Old hag, I will not give you that chance since I caught up to you. You'll come with me!"Clutching tightly onto Jane's sleeve, Jocelyn was determined to pin down Jane and stop her from ever going home to the Yale residence.However, Jane broke free from Jocelyn's grip and ran across the road. At that moment, a screeching sound echoed in the air. Jocelyn watched helplessly as a truck collided with Jane, throwing Jane out. Jane lay in a pool of blood as the bystanders went up to her. They had thought that it was Jane who broke the traffic rules by jaywalking.Jocelyn quietly slid away from the crowd, thanking the heavens for the car accident. Jocelyn had thought that she was in hot water after Jane learned the truth. Thankfully, luck wasn't on Jane's side; Jane would not be able to tell the truth anymore.…Soon, Jennifer received the bad news about Jane. She rushed to the hospital and found Zion there. He contacted Jane's fa
On the other hand, Jennifer examined Jocelyn with a doubtful look.Heart sinking, Jocelyn dodged her gaze and said, "I shall not disturb your sweet reunion. Hmph, you see me as an eyesore anyway!"With that, she escaped to the second floor.Feeling suspicious and confused, Jennifer asked Zion, "Dad, were there any maids around you when you got the call about Jane?""No." Zion fell into deep thoughts. "I got the call at work, and I rushed to the hospital."Frowning, Jennifer analyzed, "Isn't that quite odd? If that's the case, how did the family maids learn about it? Aunt Josie wasn't with you today. How exactly did she learn about Jane?"Meanwhile, Jocelyn had called Bridget. In a whisper, she cautioned Bridget, "Bridget, get discharged tomorrow. That Horst bitch got into an accident at the entrance of your hospital. I had a slip of the tongue just now. That shameless bitch Jennifer is starting to get suspicious of us."While speaking, the door to her bedroom suddenly swung open
Jennifer tossed and turned in bed at night. As Jane had helped keep her bedroom at the Yale residence clean and cozy, she swore to find out the truth. She couldn't have Jane lying in the hospital without justice.Her phone buzzed at that moment. She quickly answered the call when she saw it was from Maxwell.His low, baritone tone echoed. "Mrs. Zayne told me you aren't home yet, and she wanted me to check on you. Where are you?""Oh, I forgot to update Mrs. Zayne." Jennifer grumbled in disappointment, "Something came up at home, so I'll be staying here for a few days. An accident happened today, and I forgot to tell her I couldn't come home tonight."He grew worried. "Did something happen at home? What is it? Are you okay?"She felt touched by his concern. "It's not me." She struggled to explain the chain of events, as most parts consisted of her hollow guesses.She had no choice but to vague it up. "This lady who used to take care of me got into a car accident. She is suffering
Cheeks flushed, Jennifer mumbled, "Yes."Maxwell chuckled. He then said softly, "Go sleep. Good night."Listening to the disconnected tone, she thought glumly, "I said I missed him. But what about him?"He probably missed her too. Right?Jennifer, who had been struggling to fall asleep, finally drifted to sleep.The next morning, she was woken up by a series of urgent knocks on the door by the maid.Shocked, she answered the door irritably. "What's wrong?"Looking anxious, the maid informed her, "Ms. Jennifer, Ms. Bridget is fighting with Mr. Lance downstairs. Please check on them. He threatened to punish her by the family rules."Jennifer hurried down the stairs upon hearing that. She immediately heard Bridget's angry and brazen screams. "Wow! Did you just chase Mom out of the house after Jennifer came home? Are you planning to rely on that good-for-nothing to take care of you when you're old?""Say one more word, and I'll…" Trembling in rage, Zion grabbed a stick and approa
Zion didn't want things to turn ugly. After all, Jennifer was at the Yale residence as well. If he had a falling out with Jordan, it might make her life difficult.Because of that, he made the driver get Jocelyn from her parents' place.…At noon, Jocelyn marched pompously into the Yale residence without any hint of the fear from yesterday.Jennifer knew for sure that Bridget had told Jocelyn about Jordan's visit, which fueled Jocelyn's arrogance. Jocelyn even brought along Agnes from the countryside, knowing that Zion's dislike of her wouldn't matter as Agnes would side with her.After being sent to live in the countryside after attempting to hurt Jennifer, Agnes seemed more well-behaved this time. She warmly greeted Jennifer, "Jennifer, you're home!"Jennifer flashed a cold smile at her. "Hi, Grandma."Since Agnes had never treated Jennifer as a granddaughter, Jennifer didn't bother to go beyond basic manners.Turning to Jordan, Agnes enthusiastically complimented him, "Is
At the end of the lunch, the marriage discussion ended fruitlessly, but Bridget did not seem bothered.She wanted Jordan to pay a grand visit to back her up.After lunch, he followed her into her bedroom. He asked, "So, what now? I did everything you asked of me." In a pleading tone, he said, "Don't you think you should keep your word and get the abortion?"She said cunningly, "What's the rush? I gain nothing by getting an abortion right now.""What else do you want?" Simmering in anger, he questioned, "You wanted me to pay a visit to back up you and your mom, and so I did. How are you planning to torture me now?"She handed him a magazine. "Look at this rare pink diamond. There are only two in this world; one was made into a necklace, and the other was made into a bracelet. "Maxwell won the bid for the necklace a few days ago at an auction. I guess it was a gift for Jennifer. I can't lose out to her!"Jordan had never been interested in jewelry, but he admitted that the pink d
Jocelyn was caught off guard for a moment before she answered in disdain, "Her? I'd much rather she go as far away as she can so she won't be an eyesore to me. But no, she didn't go. "However, she's packing up now. I'm sure she wouldn't want to stay here without your father around.""That's great!" Bridget chuckled. "I won't be able to stage my show without her here!"Jocelyn simply stared at her in confusion. "You… What exactly do you have in mind? Bridget, we can't act rashly anymore!"We've already gotten on your father's nerves. Besides, now that you've lost your child, we don't know for sure if you'll be able to marry into the Lance family. We've got to watch our every step now!""Don't you worry, Mom." Bridget huffed with a malicious look in her eyes. "I promise I'll destroy Jennifer thoroughly this time round!"…At the same time, Jennifer was already done packing up her things and was ready to go home. After all, Zion wasn't at home, and she knew that everyone else in
Jennifer's heart sank instantly as she halted her steps. The very next second, she saw Bridget sprawled out on the ground with a puddle of blood under her."Ah! It hurts! My tummy…!" Bridget wailed in agony as she clutched at her stomach.Jocelyn hurried over when she heard the commotion. "Goodness! Bridget! What happened?"When she ran over, Jocelyn shoved Jennifer aside rudely and screamed at her, "You vile wench! What has Bridget ever done to you? Why did you do this to her?"Help! Anyone, help! Quick! Call Glory Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital now!"Jennifer felt like her head was a mess. The puddle of blood on the floor was enough to send her head spinning.A liitle later, she heard the wailing sirens of an ambulance paired with Jocelyn's and Agnes' screaming.But Jennifer wasn't someone who shirked from responsibility. Besides, she'd never expected Bridget to come tumbling down the stairs like that. As such, she bolted out the door and followed behind the ambulance. T
