She had received the jewelry only hours ago. On the way back, she had placed it back in its box and temporarily handed it over to Clyde for safekeeping. The Jenkins family hadn’t even laid eyes on it.
She wondered, ‘How did Quentin know? Could the Jenkins family have spies in the Lopez manor right under Liam’s nose?‘
Gwyneth. Don’t think Harrison’s favor now guarantees smooth sailing for life.
While still puzzled, Melanie descended the staircase. “Dad is right, Gwy
“Harrison can’t have children, so you have no real security. That jade bracelet is priceless. Keeping it here at the Jenkins residence could be your safety net in the future.
Following Melanie’s voice, Gwyneth looked up, noticing her sister dressed in the latest high–end fashion–a luxury that the Jenkins family couldn’t easily afford currently.
Suddenly, it was clear. It wasn’t that the Jenkins family had spies; Adrian had likely leaked the information to Melanie on purpose.
Gwyneth laughed instead of getting angry. “Idiots.”
“Who are you calling an idiot?” Melanie’s expression immediately darkened.
Jobviously, calling idiots out,” Gwyneth replied casually, rising to leave. She shot Melanie a cold glance. “You’re being used as a pawn by Adrian, and you’re stupid enough to count his money for him.”
Melanie retorted, “What Adriant I didn’t-
“You know exactly what’s going on, Gwyneth interrupted her bluntly, grabbing her purse. Today, you might get the jewelry from me, but soon enough, they’ll find a way to cheat it out of your hands,
“Mr. Lopez’s belongings will then instantly become assets of the eldest grandson’s family, just as they planned. And you, Melanie, won’t end up getting anything out of this.”
Melanie was rendered speechless, biting her lip in frustration.
Quentin stood up too. “Adrian surely didn’t mean it that way
“Didn’t mean it that way! Gwyneth scoffed coldly as she walked away, leaving them with just her silhouette. You two are truly a pair of fools.
“If Mr. Lopez’s jewelry gets tricked back into Adrian’s possession, and Harrison finds our Jenkins Group’s days are numbered.
“My dear father, you better open your eyes and see clearly: the Lopez family isn’t under Adrian’s control yet
The one in control is still Harrison. These words struck Quentin–like a hammer, waking him up instantly.
Yet considering these words came from Gwyneth infuriated him even more. In a fit of rage, he smashed the nearest object. “Ungrateful daughter!”
- Quentin was looking for an outlet for his anger, his phone rang, and the caller ID showed Zachary Flyr
Quentin’s face lit up with joy instantly. “Really? Congratulations, Mr. Flynn, on securing the Lopez family’s Galvocity Mall project! And you’re willing to include Jenkins Group at the table? We promise to do a great job and live up to your expectations
“By the way, do you have time for a meal soon! You’ve been so generous to Jenkins Group, unlike my ungrateful daughter, Cwyneth. She’s nothing but a betrayer”
On the other end, Zachary’s voice grew colder at the mention of Gwyneth’s name. “I’m willing to give you the opportunity to collaborate, but I require Gwyneth to apologize personally to Bella”
Quentin listened to the busy signal on the other end, his expression darkening. He thought, “It’s all Gwyneth’s bult.
His fury escalated. “Prepare the car. We’re leading to the company?
He thought. The collaborative project between Lopez Group and Flynn Group is a golden opportunity that everyone dreams of attaining, Jenkins Group must get a piece of this pic.
No matter if Gwyneth is willing or not, she must apologize to Bella for the sake of Jenkins Group!
