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.
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
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
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
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
Ding! A message alert appeared in Jenna’s phone coming from Rex her husband. [Go to the hospital to donate blood now.] Jenna was momentarily taken aback upon seeing the message and felt as though she had suffered from a fatal heart blow. Ding! Another SMS was sent right after that. It was a notification from the bank informing her of a fund transfer of $500,000. Jenna scrolled up to view her conversation with Rex for the past 2 years of them being married. [Come to the hospital now to donate blood.] [You have received a Fund transfer of $500,000.] [An emergency happens; please donate blood now.] [You have received a Fund transfer of $500,000.] [Visit the hospital right away to give blood.] [You have received a Fund transfer of $500,000.] During their two years of marriage, the only time that Jenna's husband, Rex Hidalgo, got in touch with her was those times when he urged her to visit the hospital to sell her blood, specifically to Alice Florence. Over the course of thei
Jenna prepared herself after putting her phone away and got in a taxi to the City Hall while repressing the anguish in her heart and the scorching sensation in her body.It was a minute later. Rex attempted to contact Jena twice, but no one picked up, so he hung up and refused to try again.Jenna was incredibly pale as she sat on a seat. Rex approached her an hour later with a stern, expressionless face and a chilly glance as he moved over."What specifically are you not happy with? Even though I know you have given more blood this month than usual, I have already paid you."Jenna lifted her head to meet his harsh glare, "Let's simply get a divorce." She no longer wanted to talk to Rex Hidalgo; her voice was calm and collected.They never repeated the same thing when speaking.Jenna focused on the man's distinctive features as he stood before her. She fell head over heels in love with him because he was tall and attractive, but he, on the other hand, never once smiled at her.She used
Rex shouted, "Jenna! What are you doing?!" His eyes grew heavy, and his face turned stormy. The man spoke in a chilly tone. 'He arrived in a hurry. Was he perturbed that I would harm Alice?' Jenna pondered. Alice pouted and appeared anxious. She covered her cheek and looked behind Jenna as her eyes filled with tears at the crack of dawn. "I didn't do anything, Jenna. You misunderstood me." she protested loudly. 'Is Jenna insane? How could she strike me in Rex's presence?' Jenna grinned. Stop acting; I know it was you. Jenna approached Alice with a piercing, hard stare as she pulled a printed image of Rex from her bag and threw it in their direction. Rex was startled and perplexed as he stared at the picture. Alice's face similarly darkened and became paler at once. He had a long day yesterday and fell asleep briefly when visiting Alice in the hospital. It was evident that this photo was taken in secret at that time. Alice Florence was the only other person in the room. Rex w
