Chapter 9

Author: Bright Lights
Now that Trenton was paralyzed and bedridden, Gwen even swore she'd take care of him for the rest of her life.

Watching Gwen's clumsy acting, I nearly burst out laughing on the spot.

When I was first summoned back to the old Nelson estate, I hadn't intended to bother.

But my brother, Weston McQuay, also known as Tommy Ferguson, told me it was about Gwen. After thinking it over for a moment, I decided to go back and watch the show after all.

"Jennifer, look at the state Trenton is in now. Jus

  • Bankrupt, but I Got Everything Back   Chapter 10

    Gwen continued yelling, "And for your information, Jennifer and Trenton are divorced. I'm your boss's wife now! Get it straight who your boss is!"But no matter how Gwen yelled, security didn't let her in."Are you all blind? Can't you even tell who's in charge here?"Gwen kept pushing Trenton's wheelchair, trying to force her way in, but security held her firmly back.I picked up the documents I'd prepared and walked over to Gwen.I glanced at Trenton in the wheelchair. The resentment in his eyes was gone, replaced entirely by numbness. I could even see a wish to die in them.So the arrogant, high-and-mighty Trenton could wear an expression like this too.I looked away and turned to Gwen. "Stop making a scene. I know you married Trenton for the company."With her motive exposed, Gwen dropped the act. She looked at me, smug. "So what if I did? I'm Trenton's wife now. What right do you have to stay at the company?"I smiled and held out the documents in my hand. "Whether I ha

After thinking it over for a moment, I decided to go back and watch the show after all."Jennifer, look at the state Trenton is in now. Just stop tormenting him. Can you please give him back to me? I really love him!"Gwen looked at me, her face full of pleading. Her eyes, though, were full of calculation.I put on a gentle smile. "You want me to get a divorce? So you and Trenton can be together?"Gwen's eyes lit up instantly. "Yes, yes!"Seeing how impatient she was, I nearly laughed out loud.Gwen wanting to marry Trenton definitely wasn't about so-called love. And I had a pretty good idea why.Gwen thought that even paraly

    Gwen: [Jennifer, why aren't you answering? Feeling guilty?!]Gwen: [Even if you've got his body, you'll never have his heart!]Gwen still didn't know Trenton's true condition. She thought I was the one clinging to him and keeping him from seeing her.I mostly didn't bother replying to her idiotic messages.When I kept ignoring her, Gwen got so humiliated and furious that she actually showed up at the company and made a scene in front of everyone."Do you really think Trenton loves you?"She stood in the company lobby, loudly proclaiming the freedom of true love, completely oblivious to how everyone around her was staring at her strangely.Well, free entertainment during work hours. Why not enjoy the show?"Jennifer, you're too scared to come out because I'm right, aren't I? You hid Trenton away on purpose! Do you have the guts to come out and face me?"In some ways, Gwen and Trenton really were a match made in heaven. Both were equally full of themselves and equally presumptuo

    "Everything you have now was stolen from the McQuay family. I'm just taking back what's rightfully mine!"He howled in pain, not really listening to a word I said. "Get your foot off me!"I curled my lip and pulled my foot back.Afraid I'd kick him again, Trenton struggled to his feet, propping himself up against the bed. "Jennifer, just because I neglected you, you treat me like this?"I want a divorce. Now get lost and go back to your miserable, broke life!"Someone! Somebody get in here!"He yelled at the top of his lungs, trying to get someone to help him.But he seemed to have forgotten that he barely ever came home. Every servant in this house was on my side. How could they possibly listen to him?He shouted for ages, until his voice went hoarse, but never got a single response.Only now did he realize he no longer called the shots in this house.He dragged himself clumsily toward the door, trying to open it, but I grabbed him by his clothes and hauled him right back.

    Now, though, Trenton suddenly flew into a rage. "I said stay home and take care of me. Don't you understand?"He was begging for help and still acting this arrogant? Trenton really didn't see how things stood now. He was the one who needed me, not the other way around."You're married to me. Why do you even need to make money? You don't know what your priorities are! Taking care of me is the most important thing you should be doing right now!"Trenton ranted on and on like a madman. I let it go in one ear and out the other.Suddenly, my phone buzzed. It was a message from Tommy.Tommy: [The last of the paperwork just went through. The company is back in McQuay hands.]Tommy: [Jennifer, you don't have to put up with Trenton anymore.]I let out a breath of relief. These suffocating days were finally over. That being the case, there was no need to keep tolerating Trenton."I'm talking to you. What are you looking at your phone for?"Seeing me ignore him, Trenton grew even angrier

  • Bankrupt, but I Got Everything Back   Chapter 5

    I found an excuse to start working at the Nelson family's company, Nelson Group.Tommy and I worked seamlessly together and handled a lot of the company's headaches for Trenton.At first, Trenton didn't believe someone with only a high school diploma could be capable of anything. But once he saw me handle the work with ease, he shut his mouth.With Tommy and me around, Trenton gradually became little more than the company mascot. Aside from signing and stamping documents, he didn't need to worry about anything.Trenton was more than happy with the arrangement. He'd never liked coming into the office anyway. If he hadn't been the Nelson family's only child, he never would have taken over the company. He much preferred partying to running a business.As for Tommy and me, one was his devoted wife, and the other was his loyal assistant. So he felt perfectly at ease handing the company's affairs entirely over to us.I'd thought it would take a while longer to get Trenton to hand over
