Chapter 177 - The intruder (1/2)
Jennifer was furious. She was beyond furious.
Her agency was demanding her to settle this outside the court. They also demanded her to tell the truth. They questioned her integrity and honesty. How dared them?
Integrity?
Honesty?
She was both and more.
She was known among her fans as being a kind, honest, full of integrity and never do anything beyond what expected.
Her manager told her to keep her temper in check and persuaded Jeremy and Catherine to cancel the lawsuit. She told Jennifer that if the case went through the court, Jennifer not only would risk affecting her career and losing her fans, she would also in risk of being freeze by the agency. She would not want that, would she?
She tried to get closer to the elder couple but Jason kept blocking her way. She glared but the man stared at her coldly.
”Uncle, aunt, please. Please give me ten... no... five minutes to talk,” Jennifer begged.
She ignored Ryn, dismissing her of being unimportant. All she cared about was Jeremy. In order for Jeremy to drop the lawsuit, she needed to get the cooperation from his parents. He would listen to his parents. She did not doubt that. And once he agreed to drop it, that b.i.t.c.h would do the same.
”I'm sorry. You're not allowed here,” Jason said coldly.
”Get out of my way,” she muttered under her breath but he ignored her. She lifted her head and looked at him with her sad face, ”Please, I need to speak with uncle and aunt.”
Jason glanced at the back before at Jennifer. He shook his head in bemused seeing Jennifer trying to look like a 'white lotus' now. She tried to show how pitiful she was, that she was the victim in this. Unfortunately for her, he and the rest in the room knew who she really was.
”Call security. I don't want to see that woman ever again,” Mrs Long told her husband rather loudly. She purposely made her voice loud enough so Jennifer could hear it.
Jennifer gasped loudly. She placed her hands against her chest in shock.
”Aunt... aunty?” she choked out.
Mrs Long just flipped her hair and went to Ryn. She patted Ryn's arm soothingly.
Ryn who was minding her own business with Mika was a bit taken back when Mrs Long touched her arm suddenly. She looked at Mrs Long in puzzle but still smiling.
”Don't you worry, dear. We know who is real and who is fake,” Mrs Long glanced at Jennifer when she said 'fake'. She even emphasized the word 'real' and fake'.
Jennifer gasped loudly.
Ryn swallowed her laughter. She did not want to hurt Jennifer's ego by laughing.
Mika just giggled loudly. She did not care about Jennifer's feeling. She was happy to see her mother showed Jennifer whose side she was on.
”Aunt, you have misunderstood me. I don't know where you've read about me but all are lies. I am very much in love with your son and he is to me. I am not sure why he suddenly distance himself from me and... and...”
”When did I ever been in love with you, Jennifer? Enlighten me,” a cold voice cut her off.
She froze. Then, she slowly turned around and looked at the serious-looking Jeremy.
”Je... Jeremy...” she choked out.
He walked past her, quickly greeting his parents and Jason before stroke Mika's hair gently, ”How are you doing today?”
”I feel better. Ask Jason,” she pointed at her fiance with a huge smile.
Jason approached and took Mika's hand. His smile was huge, indicating how happy he was with her progress. She was getting better and better. She did not feel pain that much compared to when she just woke up. Her appetite was good too. The doctor told her to temporarily stop her diet so he kept buying more delicious food for her to enjoy.
”Jeremy... I...”
He turned and stared at Jennifer coldly. ”Don't you have to gather the money for the lawsuit?”
”How could you do this to me? After what we've been through...” Jennifer cried heartbrokenly.
”I think she believes in her own lies,” Ryn commented at Mika and Mrs Long. It was obvious how delusion Jennifer had been when she even repeated back the lies she told to the public.
”What have we been though?” Jeremy asked her back.
