Maxwell was overwhelmed with joy upon hearing that. The implication in Jennifer's words was unmistakable. She had truly forgiven him.He held her hand, his voice trembling with emotion as he enunciated each word deliberately. "Jennifer, I promise I won't let you down again."Jennifer couldn't help but smile. "I hope you mean it. If you let me or the kids down again, I'll take them somewhere you'll never be able to find us. Go ahead, give it a try!""I won't! From now on, I'll trust you unconditionally. I'll never be a jerk again," Maxwell vowed.He berated himself, desperate to soothe her anger. He wanted Jennifer to let go of the past rather than keep it bottled up inside.Jennifer felt a pang of sympathy for him. She remembered just how far Rachel's malice had surpassed their comprehension. It wasn't just Maxwell who had fallen into her traps; she had been caught in them more than once, too."Alright, stop blaming yourself," she said, leaning into his embrace and exhaling softl
Even though Harry was the mastermind behind that incident, Simon had spared his life. So, why would it be any different with Zion?Maxwell stared at Jennifer sincerely. "This is the last time I'll say this. I don't know why your father took his own life back then. As for what Rachel said, we both know what kind of person she is. Don't tell me you're the type to confuse right and wrong and think I was the one who caused your father's death?"His honesty dispelled Jennifer's doubts."I'm glad it wasn't you." Jennifer's eyes watered, and she shook her head. "I've always hoped it wasn't you. Hearing you say it yourself puts my mind at ease. I believe you."Maxwell breathed a sigh of relief and pulled Jennifer into his arms. "That's good. Let's be open with each other and ask directly if we have any doubts. That way, we can avoid misunderstandings that only hurt us."Jennifer agreed. Being honest and voicing concerns was far better than bottling them up and letting them fester.The tw
Just then, the manager rushed over and apologized, "I'm sorry, boss. This girl is new here and clumsy. I'll fire her right away!"He then turned to Natalie. "You bumped into the boss. Even I can't help you now. Pack your things and leave!"Hugo's expression softened and he extended his hand toward Natalie. "Are you alright? I didn't realize you were a woman."He helped her up, putting on a gentlemanly facade. "Do you need a doctor?"Natalie looked at him in surprise. Was this man crazy? He had glared at her just a moment ago, and now he had completely changed his demeanor. It was rather creepy.Hugo maintained his authoritative air while softening his tone to avoid scaring her. "What's your name?"Natalie took a deep breath and muttered, "Natalie Lowe.""Natalie?" Hugo savored the name and smiled. "It's a beautiful name."Shaun, who was standing nearby, couldn't bear to watch. What was the boss talking about? He barely read any books, and now he's pretending to be a gentleman.
With that, Jennifer gathered her courage and finally pressed the doorbell.The gate opened, and Jennifer found the courtyard in a state of disrepair as if it hadn't been cleaned in a long time.The person who opened the door for her was Rose, the maid who had always attended to Agnes. When Rose saw Jennifer, she immediately exclaimed, "Ms. Yale? You're back?"Jennifer nodded. "Is Grandma home?""She is." Rose quickly ushered her inside.As they walked, Rose explained, "The villa hasn't been cleaned for quite some time. It's a bit dirty, so please don't mind."Jennifer looked around. "Where is everyone else?"Rose sighed heavily. "They've all left. Ever since Mr. Yale passed away, Mrs. Yale Senior has been holding the fort down. But at her age, there's not much she can manage. Mr. Lance didn't give a single dime to the Yale family after he acquired Yale Corporation. He probably did it for you. Mrs. Yale Senior has been living off the inheritance Mr. Yale left behind. She couldn't
Agnes was shocked to hear this. She said in disbelief, "It's been more than 20 years, and yet you managed to find your biological parents?"Jennifer nodded. "I want to know how the Yale family came to adopt me. Why did you dislike my mother and me so much?"Agnes just stared at her wordlessly.After a long silence, Jennifer smiled bitterly. "Forget it, I won't force you if you don't want to talk. After all, it's all in the past."With that, she took out a bank card from her bag. "There's some money inside. Use it for emergencies. And call me if you face any other difficulties. I won't let Dad worry. I will take care of you for his sake."Jennifer wasn't determined to get an answer. Perhaps, she had only come this time to check on Agnes on behalf of Zion. However, just as she reached the door and was about to leave, Agnes suddenly said, "I would have adored you if you were truly my granddaughter."Agnes finally opened up and continued, "You were always smarter and more sensible th
It took Jennifer a long time to process everything and recover from her emotions. All the past grievances seemed no longer important to her.They lived in the present, after all. It was enough to cherish those around them.…After a month of recovery, Maxwell was finally discharged from the hospital. His relationship with Jennifer had deepened even further.Cassidy and Caleb would visit Maxwell every day, and the time they spent together as a family was always so happy, yet so fleeting.On the day of Maxwell's discharge, Hugo came as well. They had just packed up their things and were ready to go home.Hugo wore a cold expression as usual. He glanced at Maxwell and said to Jennifer, "You became a different person after you got married! You've been doting on him for a whole month and not once did you visit me!"Jennifer stuck out her tongue playfully and smiled. "I was just about to visit you today, but here you are."Hugo scoffed. "As if! Your heart is with Maxwell. Do you even
As Hugo left the hospital, Shaun approached him in a rush. He reported solemnly, "We’ve tracked down Camila’s hiding place. However, Mr. Nicholas sent many of his men to protect her before his death. These people are loyal to him, so it won’t be easy to harm her."Hugo’s gaze darkened as he ordered, "Try to capture her alive. But at the very least, make her return all the assets she took! My mother died because of her, and she's also responsible for my sister's disappearance. She won’t get away with even a single cent of the family’s fortune!""Understood." Shaun nodded and added, "The plane is ready. We can depart at any time."Hugo glanced at the hospital. He hoped he made the right choice. Even if he was seeking revenge, he planned to stop with that woman. As for Maxwell, since Jennifer loved him, Hugo wouldn’t hurt him and put Jennifer in a difficult position.With his decision made, Hugo left.Not long after, Jennifer also left the hospital and got into Maxwell’s car."Did y
Jennifer hugged her two children and kissed them on the cheeks. "Our family will never be separated again, okay?""Really?" Both children's eyes lit up, and they danced around with joy.Cassidy looked up. "Daddy, is what Mommy said true? How did you manage to win her back?"Maxwell was amused by her words and picked her up. "That's a secret. How could I tell you?"Martha was beyond happy and sobbed, "Wonderful! The family has finally reunited. Mr. and Mrs. Yale, I've had the staff clean every corner of the villa. You don't have to worry, there's nothing dirty or unpleasant here."Jennifer and Maxwell both knew Martha was referring to Rachel."Thank you, Martha, for taking care of the kids while we were in the hospital." Jennifer shot her a grateful smile.Martha wiped her tears. "It's my duty. Come and eat, Mr. and Mrs. Yale. I've prepared a table of food for you!"And so, the family of four sat down together for dinner. After the meal, the children went outside to play in the
