Jennie replied evenly, “I don’t know.”

The same question again.

She had lost count of how many times Patrick had asked about her father, always in this casually probing way, every time she returned to the family home.

Given how relentlessly profit-driven the Simmons family was, she did not believe for a second that they simply wanted to share a meal with her father.

Yet she did not know the real situation back home either, and the thought left her feeling quietly helpless.

  • Trading My Cheating Husband for a Billionaire Tycoon   Chapter 100

    “I’m sorry, Miss Lawson. I arrived too late.”Lynn and Bella nearly collapsed on the spot.Lynn instinctively grabbed Bella’s arm. Bella looked dazed, her voice hollow.“Did he just apologise to her?”The hotel manager straightened, his tone respectful and deliberate.“The chairman personally called just now. He said that once you’re ready, the banquet may officially begin.”The room froze.Star Isle Hotel, the most exclusive venue in Ridgeview and a symbol of power and money, actually belonged to Jennie Lawson?“That’s impossible…” William staggered back a step, shaking his head. “No. I don’t believe it!”He snapped, pointing at Jennie like a man unhinged.“She’s unwanted trash. An orphan living off others’ charity. A useless nobody. What kind of ‘heiress’ could she possibly be?”The manager’s face darkened instantly.He didn’t bother responding.With a sharp wave of his hand, security moved in at once.Everyone at Star Isle already knew what their young lady had endured ov

    William opened his mouth to argue but the last trace of patience drained from Henry’s eyes.“Get out.”Just one word. Flat. Cold. Laced with menace.William’s body stiffened instinctively. He was about to force out another sentence when Wendy finally sensed the danger.This was bad.Very bad.Henry Jonas looked genuinely dangerous right now.Wendy’s face went pale. She grabbed William’s arm with both hands and dragged him backward, panic breaking through her composure.“William, stop. Don’t say another word.”Henry didn’t spare them a glance.He walked straight toward Jennie.Jennie’s heart jumped. She instinctively tensed, wanting to pull away.She knew how she looked right now—wine-soaked dress, damp hair, blood on her hands. Undignified. Messy. Completely inappropriate for an event hosted by the Jonas family.Was he angry?Did he think she had ruined the evening?Was he about to hold her accountable?She pressed her lips together and hurried to explain. “Mr. Jonas, it w

    Now that she thought about it, everything finally made sense.It was never about William Simmons’s talent.The hotel’s general manager had known exactly who she was all along. That Black Card had never been meant for William. It had been issued out of respect for her—for the Lawson family’s daughter.What had once been a courtesy extended on her behalf had now become William’s favorite prop, something he waved around to flaunt his so-called status in front of her.The irony was almost laughable.A faint, mocking smile tugged at Jennie’s lips. She was just about to look away when she felt a gaze settle on her.She turned her head and met a pair of deep, unreadable black eyes.Henry was watching her.Her completely unladylike eye roll just now had not escaped him.For the briefest moment, something like amusement flickered through Henry’s frozen gaze.Right now, Jennie looked like a small wildcat that had finally decided to bare its claws.Lively. Sharp. Real.Far more appeal

    Bella’s body went rigid. Her face drained of color.That was Henry Jonas.Standing in front of him, she could barely breathe, let alone respond to a question like that.William, misreading the situation entirely, assumed Henry was simply displeased by someone causing a scene at his event. Eager to show that he knew how to handle things, he immediately stepped forward, putting on a stern, reasonable front.“Didn’t you hear Mr. Jonas?” William snapped at Bella. “Don’t you have any manners? Apologize. Now.”In his mind, as long as he soothed Henry’s mood, this whole mess would amount to nothing more than a minor inconvenience.But the pressure radiating from Henry didn’t ease.If anything, it grew heavier.The storm brewing in those dark eyes was so intense that even Nick, standing nearby, felt a chill crawl up his spine.Oh no.This was bad. This was very bad.His uncle wasn’t annoyed.He was furious.Seeing William still wagging his finger like he owned the place, Nick let o

    So that was it.It wasn’t that Jennie had suddenly changed or woken up one day determined to divorce him.It was Wendy.Wendy had taken those documents—marriage certificate, divorce papers, the DNA report—and gone to Jennie herself.The realization hit William hard.He almost turned on the woman beside him, the question already rising to his lips.But he swallowed it back.No.Right now, he and Wendy were tied together. One rose, the other rose. One fell, the other went down with him. Calling her out in public would be nothing short of slapping his own face.Besides, the person truly humiliating him tonight wasn’t Wendy.It was Jennie.William forced down his anger toward Wendy and redirected every ounce of it toward Jennie. He was just about to speak—When a stir rippled through the outer edge of the crowd.“Make way.”Guests instinctively turned, parting to form a narrow path.Nick strode in.The moment he entered the circle, he saw Jennie at the center—surrounded, grip

    But after a moment, Lynn steadied herself again.So what if Jennie was connected to the Lawsons?Everyone knew the Lawson family’s assets would eventually go to her cousin. Jennie was nothing more than a discarded daughter. What did it matter if she carried the Lawson name?Still, with the jagged shard of glass pressed against Bella’s face, Lynn didn’t dare move rashly.She drew a slow breath and was just about to step forward to smooth things over when a familiar voice cut in from behind them.“Jennie, are you done yet?”Jennie’s grip on the broken stem didn’t loosen. She simply lifted her gaze, calm and unhurried, toward the source of the voice.William had arrived.And beside him stood Wendy.Even with her makeup perfectly done, the exhaustion and strain around Wendy’s eyes were impossible to hide. The two of them walked forward together, and the crowd instinctively parted to make way.Bella, still on her knees, saw salvation. She tried to move.Instantly, pain flared a
