Right when the two were in the middle of an argument, Bridget suddenly barged in and stood defensively in front of Jocelyn. "Don't you dare treat my mother like this, Dad!" Bridget yelled at Zion. "Mom has given this family her all ever since she married you. Why are you treating her so badly?"Bridget knew Zion never liked her, so she always walked on eggshells around him. She never dared speak to Zion in this manner, especially not when Zion was angry.Zion pointed at Bridget and snapped, "As for you—your mother raised you to become just as vile and cruel as she is. Don't think I don't know how the both of you often mistreat Jennifer.""That's only because you're biased!" Bridget retorted. "Both Jennifer and I are your daughters, yet you treat us both very differently. You act like you miss your deceased wife all the time, yet if you really loved Jennifer's mother, how would you have cheated on her with my own mother?"Zion raised his hand angrily, about to hit Bridget.But in

Jennifer stood before Maxwell, trying her best to smile. She said in the calmest tone she could muster, "Don't worry about me. Just take care of her.""Here, take this." Maxwell handed her a black bank card. "There's enough money in here for you to use it for whatever you need."Jennifer's hand trembled. She finally couldn't stop herself from asking tearfully, 'Didn't you say we wouldn't be getting the divorce? You said that to me just the other day! Why did you lie to me?"Maxwell looked down and said hoarsely, "I'm sorry.""I don't want your money!" Jennifer cried, tossing the card back to Maxwell.But Maxwell remained motionless.After some hesitation, Jennifer suddenly asked, "Can… you not go?"Jennifer really didn't want Maxwell to leave. She was so afraid she wouldn't have him anymore once he did.But it was hard to change Maxwell's decision once he'd made it. Plus, Rachel's illness was a matter of life and death.In the end, he still set the bank card on the coffee tabl

Maxwell had come back home earlier because he wanted to go to Lance Manor with Jennifer. Who knew Jennifer was in the middle of hitting it on with Jordan?How could Maxwell tolerate this? Jennifer shouldn't hook up with his brother regardless of whether they'd gotten divorced or not!Just then, Rachel gave Maxwell a call. "What do I do, Maxwell? My house is leaking, and the floor's all wet."Maxwell gave it some thought before saying, "I'll bring you to my house.""Is… Is that appropriate?" Rachel asked demurely, doing her best to hide the joy she felt. "Would your wife mind?"Maxwell replied coldly, "Ignore her."If Jennifer was going to treat him like this, then he'd give her a taste of her own medicine! Jennifer didn't care anyway! Only that man she kept hidden from Maxwell mattered to him, right?…Back at Lance Manor, Robert looked at Jennifer and asked worriedly, "Why do you look so ill, Jennifer? And why have you grown skinnier?"Jennifer didn't know how to explain wh

Robert took a deep breath, finding the present situation challenging. He gazed at Jennifer who had remained silent all this while and asked, "What are your thoughts on the matter, Jennifer? This is your sister after all."Bridget hadn't expected Robert to ask Jennifer outright. Worried Jennifer might expose her here in front of the Lance family, Bridget went over to hold Jennifer's arm. "You know me, Jennifer. Am I the kind of woman who fools around? Our family may not be an elite one, but we've always been taught well. How could I do such a ghastly thing?"Jennifer didn't want to expose Bridget right away, yet she knew Bridget had come prepared and was now putting up a pitiful act.Still, Jennifer wasn't going to be pulled along by Bridget's schemes or be manipulated by her. So, Jennifer retracted her hand and stepped away from Bridget.Jennifer then said to Robert, "Sorry, Grandpa. I'm not entirely sure what's going on either, nor do I understand my sister very well."Robert und

"Alright. Then I'll wait for the day you marry Jordan Lance," Jennifer said with a sneer. "The future of the Yale family is in your hands now."Jennifer then walked back home, her steps fast and frequent. After all, she'd worn sneakers today, unlike Bridget, who'd worn an expensive pair of high heels.The heels were very high, so when Bridget walked, they began chafing her feet.Bridget cursed Jennifer as she walked to the roadside to get a taxi. When she reached home, Zion was nowhere to be found, only Jocelyn.Bridget said confidently, "Where's Dad?""He wanted to divorce me but I disagreed, so he's decided to not come home anymore," Jocelyn snapped. "It's all Jennifer's fault!"Bridget snorted. "What a pity. I wanted to show Dad just how much better I am than that infertile bitch Jennifer. He's looked down on me for so many years, always thinking Jennifer is better than me."Jocelyn's eyes brightened. "Was your visit to the Lance family today a success, dear? Did they agree f
