Chapter 61
Quentin waved her over warmly. “Come sit Diana made all this herself to welcome you home. You have to try some
“Gwyneth, these are all the beautiful clothes I bought for you. Since you’re representing Jenkins Group in business talks, you need to look the part. Take a look, do you like them?” Diana gently pointed to the piles of bags on the sofa.
Gwyneth couldn’t see the styles of the clothes, but she could see the logos of high–end luxury brands prominently displayed on the shopping bags. Clearly, Diana had spared no expense this time.
Gwyneth nodded and took her seat indifferently.
After eating a few bites, Diana ladled a bowl of soup and placed it in front of her, saying, “Gwyneth, if Melanie could be with Adrian, you’d have someone to support you in the Lopez family. It’s a win–win situation.
“By the way. I recently visited an astrologer and picked a good day to put your mother’s photo back in the memorial hall. Once all this is settled. you and your dad won’t have any more misunderstandings.
“Then you and Melanie can work together to share the Lopez family’s equity.”
Diana’s plan sounded perfect. The spoon she handed over fell into the bowl gently, without a sound or ripple
Quentin. Diana and Melanie were all smiling, but Gwyneth felt a chill in her heart
Quentin’s rare display of kindness toward Gwyneth after she became an adult was only for Melanie’s bright future.
Diana had previously refused to put Peyton’s photo in the memorial hall, but now she compromised just to get close to the Lopez family.
It all struck Gwyneth as both ridiculous and pathetic.
She pushed away the bowl of hot soup and said, “Thank you, but I don’t want to put my mother’s photo in the Jenkins family memorial hall
anymore.”
“Everyone in the Jenkins family is a hypocrite. I don’t want to put my mother’s photo in that dirty place, lest she can’t rest in peace.” With that, Gwyneth got up to leave.
Diana’s face turned extremely grim, but thinking of Melanie and Adrian, she forced a smile and reached for Gwyneth’s hand.
“Sorry,” Diana said, “I won’t mention this anymore. Let’s sit down and have a good meal”
“Let’s not talk about Melanie. Let’s talk about how you’ve been lately: Quentin also forced himself to swallow his anger and patiently called for Gwyneth to sit down.
Gwyneth raised an eyebrow slightly. She didn’t expect the couple to be so patient with her. Since she wanted to see what other tricks they had up their sleeves, she sat back down out of curiosity.
Quentin changed the subject and, in a few words, steered the conversation back to the Lopez Group’s business of building a mall in Galvocity.
He said. “The mall in Calvocity is definitely a big project. If you can land this project, you’ll be able to secure a position as a Jenkins Group executive for good. This project…
“Dad, as long as you give me the shares I deserve, I can try to get this project. It all depends on you.” Gwyneth are a few more bites of food without changing her expression and casually threw the words back.
Quentin didn’t expect her to value the shares so much. He was furious and about to explode, but Diana firmly held his hand and kept giving him meaningful looks.
All the Lopez family’s business now went through Gwyneth. They couldn’t afford to offend her.
So Quentin didn’t lose his temper.
But by then, Gwyneth had already put down her fork and wiped her mouth. “I’m full. I’m leaving now,” she said.
“Oh, and Diana, thank you for spending millions of dollars on these gifts for me today,” she added. “I’ll make good use of them. Goodbye.
With that, Gwyneth called a taxi and had the driver take away all the things Diana had bought for her. As she left, she saw the livid faces of Quentin, Dana, and Melanie and felt delighted.
Diano was so angry that she threw herself into Quentin’s arms. “She took the food and the gifts but didn’t promise us anything. Quentin, this is your
