The girls looked at Elena's grim face and quieted down. The second floor of the bangquet hall was relatively quiet. When Gino brought Jenna upstairs, an unruly-looking young man in an expensive black shirt stood.The two men shook hands briefly. Gino smiled and said, "Mr. Jinn, it's been a while."Jeffrey Jinn laughed. The corners of his lips hooked up charmingly. "Hello, Mr. Anderson."Without waiting for Gino's introduction, Jeffrey had already moved his gaze onto Jenna. It was an appreciative glance with a decent sense of proportion that was not offensive."Ms. Jenna, you're not only beautiful but also capable. I hope that you won't mind that I put off our dinner and invited you to this banquet instead."Jenna smiled, "Of course not. Congratulations on J&J's 5th anniversary. I hope we'll be able to work together happily in the years to come." She made a double entendre.Jeffrey smiled. "Mr. Anderson, may I talk to Ms. Jenna privately? After all, if there's a chance for cooperation,
Jenna thought, 'So that's how it is..he's already a shareholder, huh? I just didn't expect Rex Hidalgo had set his eyes on the field of artificial intelligence for so long.'If Jeffrey did not take the initiative to tell Jenna this, Jenna would not have been able to find out. The fact that he told her this information also proved that he genuinely wanted to cooperate with her.Although Jenna was not happy about Rex's involvement, she had a clear mind and separated her personal affairs and business well. She would not give up on this opportunity.Jenna lowered her eyes and smiled. "With Hidalgo Corporation's strength, you can very well enjoy the fruits of this cooperation by yourself. Why do you need a third party to get involved?"She raised her eyebrows slightly and glanced at Rex."After all, this is a brand new field that no one's involved in, so Hidalgo Corporation cannot take this risk alone."The man's voice was deep and clear. The corners of his lips hooked up. "It won't be a w
When Jenna heard her name, she froze for a moment. She did not want to have anything to do with Rex, but this situation was out of her control, and she felt everyone's eyes on her.The awkward relationship between them after their divorce added to the mystery of this coincidental cooperation.Rex also did not expect this. Without a doubt, this was Jeffrey's doing.Jenna was still in a pickle when Rex walked to her. He exuded a calm aura as he bent slightly and reached out, inviting Jenna to the dance floor. Everyone's eyes were focused on the pair.There was no way Jenna could reject Rex's invitation because she did not want to leave a negative impact at the beginning of their three-way cooperation.Gino gave his baby sister a heartfelt look. Jenna smiled faintly, then stretched out her hand to take Rex's.The people in front of them consciously made way for the pair. Jenna carried her dress with her other hand and walked forward without looking at Rex.Rex's palm was slightly cold. A
The lights flickered. Jenna gently shook the glass of wine and stood in front of the railing on the second floor. She watched the pretentious exchange of pleasantries between the people below.Rex, walking over not far away, looked up at that instant and suddenly met Jenna's clear and cold gaze; Jenna faintly retracted her gaze and ignored the discomfort in her heart.That kiss on the dance floor earlier made thecrowd gasp. No one cared which of them made the wrong move at the end of the dance. They were waiting for an excellent show to happen between the ex-couple. Any reaction to either of them would lead to endless speculation.Thus, at that moment, their lips touched. Jenna instantly turned her face to the side. Fortunately, the music stopped, and she drew back in time. She glanced coldly at Rex and turned away without looking back. Mark was joking with several people around Rex. After sending them away, he let out a sigh of relief and looked at Rex, who had a cold and noble tem
Chris appeared to be surprised. He understood the essential idea. "Stop daydreaming; Jenna is neither crazy nor foolish, so why would she kiss a f*ckboy? Kiss your brother? Haha... stop daydreaming."Elena argued, "If you don't believe me, ask anyone here. Everyone saw it!" Her companions reluctantly nodded. Chris ignored them without giving them any further attention. Do you think I'm stupid to ask the folks you're conspiring with?Elena's wrath caused her face to turn red. Jenna, stop pretending you can still marry into our family because we will never accept you. It's true, anyway! Jenna, you don't dare confess it? My brother cares about Alice, and you only exist to give her a blood transfusion."She was aware of Alice's negative impact on Jenna. Jenna felt twice as desperate every time Alice's name was mentioned.Jenna, however, softly hooked her lips and chuckled in their prese
Rex approached Elena without pausing to observe Jenna's demeanor. He had an oddly frigid face.He asked, gritting his teeth, "Was what you just said true?" Elena bit her lower lip in nervousness and hesitated before responding.She grew up around her parents and was not close to her brother, who grew up abroad. After Rex returned to the country, he became a first-class business whiz in the sector and enlarged the Hidalgo's wealth, multiplied the family's wealth by hundreds.Elena became unbearably haughty and exclaimed, "Answer me!" Elena hesitated, but Rex coerced her into speaking.From behind him, from the left, came a cold and harsh scoff. He realized right away that Jenna was the one giggling."Mr. Hidalgo, it's all true," Jenna said, revealing the truth. A complex gaze was cast at these two folks by those nearby. They were unaware that Jenna's brilliance and the exterior's beauty lie in a past that was so nasty and unhappy.They were moved by Elena's words and felt sorry for Je
Jenna scowled and cast a chilly glance at Elena's way. "Ms. Hidalgo, are you attempting to embarrass me?" she asked, lowering her eyelashes slightly, "by repeatedly bringing up this unpleasant past? Well, I am not embarrassed at all. Your family should be sorry, not me. I wonder who will ever dare to marry into your family again. Your family should be ashamed for treating their daughter-in-law like a maid."Elena was convinced that Jenna was purposefully trying to seduce her brother, saying, "Anyway, you're not worthy of being a Hidalgo! Jenna, you were trying to seduce my brother earlier. Aren't you going to admit it?" Elena was adamant that Jenna was deliberately seducing her brother with that kiss earlier. 'Jenna wants me to apologize?!' Elena was resentful and thought. 'Why can Jenna be so arrogant? Why didn't my brother back me up?'"Do you believe that I wish to seduce Mr. Hidalgo, Ms. Hidalgo?"Jenna made a small laugh. She never dwelt on irrelevant details and always got righ
Chris cast a sidelong glance toward Rex. He grinned arrogantly, and wildly, as if making fun of Rex's current predicament.'Look at him! Even Rex has his moments.'Mark finally overtook Rex. He followed Rex's gaze and noticed Jenna turning around to leave. "Rex, because you're already divorced, don't feel guilty about it. These are all that woman's cheap techniques anyway.""Do I need you to teach me how to do things?" Rex asked, giving him a sidelong glance. After experiencing a chill on his back, Mark hesitated to speak for a time.'Rex was embarrassed in front of everyone by that woman. I may die of rage! Let alone, Rex. Although what Elena said might have been excessive, the woman who invited Elena to marry Rex first asked for it! Then, was it not her fault?'Many people gathered around Jenna when she initially entered the room, presumably due to her status among the Anderson Empir
