Rex followed Mark's gaze and was instantly stunned when he saw her.Jenna was wearing a long silver-gray dress that was flared and glittery at the hemline and corseted at her slender waist. It made her look so tall and beautiful.Her long wavy hair was draped over her back and her temperament was incredibly striking.Mark cursed under his breath. "What kind of small world is this?! How can I run into someone I hate when I just want a drink..."Stella's group naturally noticed Rex and Mark. Although they did not want to see their faces, there was no reason to ignore them now that they ran into each other."Mr. Martinez, have you finished cleaning up your messy love life? How are you still in the mood to come out for a drink? I guess the impact of that photo is still too small, huh?" Stella scoffed. Mark was not willing to show any weakness and glared at the culprit Jenna at the back. He sneered and said, "Jenna, I underestimated you. I didn't expect you to be a completely different pe
Although they were from different circles, the high society of New York was small, so everyone would more or less cross paths with each other. Thus, Mark and Chris knew each other.When Chris saw Mark, he naturally saw Rex as well. Chris tipped his glass as a gesture. "What a coincidence, Mr. Martinez."Mark saw that Jenna and Stella were sitting with Chris so he figured that they were here together. Mark turned and pulled Rex to sit at their table. "Let's play a game together. You won't mind, right, Mr. Avila?" Chris did not answer and turned to look at Jenn. "My queen, do you mind?"Jenna stood up insouciantly. "Help yourselves, I'm going downstairs to watch the band." Stella immediately followed suit. "Let's go! It's so suffocating sharing the same space with such pests."Alexa took three bottles of fine wine and said, "1 m coming too!"Rex watched as Jenn disappeared down the stairs before he withdrew his gaze and glanced at Chris. "Mr. Avila, what's your relationship with Jenna
John led Ryker and Jenna to take a bow after the performance. Jenna smiled brightly and got off the stage with poise.'Luckily, I still remember the basics! This performance is still quite satisfactory.'Jenna thought.John and Ryker followed Jenna off the stage. Ryker went over and patted her shoulder. "Lil Jen, why don't you just join our band? We're willing tokick Jay out for you!"Jenna lowered her head and laughed. "If Jay hears this, he'd probably get up from his hospital bed right now and fight you!" Ryker was in great spirits. "I'm so thrilled to perform with you today. You're thecomposer of this song anyway, so except for Jay, only you can perform so flawlessly with us. Lil Jen, you seem just like you were three years ago!"Jenna felt a trace of bitterness in her heart. She seemed to have missed out on an inordinate amount of life's excitement in these three years. Fortunately, it was still not too late to get back on track.Ryker refused to give up and kept persuading Jenn
How meaningless would it be without bets?Rex's eyes were deep as he stared at her indifferent side profile. "What are your thoughts?"Before Jenna could say anything, Mark sneered and spoke first. "If Rex loses, "I walk out of here butt naked, but if Jenna loses..."He swept a glance at the Avila brothers and continued in a disdainful tone, "You need to admit in public that you married into the Hidalgo family for money, and you can never show your face in New York ever again! Jenna, do you dare to bet onthis?"Chris and Robert were dumbfounded. Stella was so enraged that she wanted to stand up and defend Jenna, but Alexa pulled Stella back and told her not to be impulsive.Rex's eyebrows furrowed tighter. He was about to interrupt Mark when Jenna sneered and raised her eyebrows mockingly. "Sure, I accept."Jenna looked so scornful of Rex as if he was not a worthy opponent.Mark laughed at the fact that Jenna was ignorant and oblivious to how strong her opponent was.In the whole of N
Rex quickly left the table, leaving Mark stupefied as he received hostile glares from Jenna's friends.The taut string in Mark's heart suddenly snapped. Mark felt that those people led by Stella just wanted to eat him alive.'Rex left me like that? Aren't we bros?!' Mark looked at the people in front of him and bit his lower lip as he spoke with no dignity, "Can you please spare me this time?"The whole group said in unison, "No!"DownstairsJenna came out from the side door where there was no crowd. She had just sent a text to her big brother, so his driver should be arriving soon. She also sent Stella a message."Jenna.."A raspy voice called her name as Rex's tall and brawny figure stood at the side door. Jenna was stunned for a moment, then immediately put on her aloof and guarded look.Noticing her change in expression, Rex lowered his eyes slightly."What's the matter, Mr. Hidalgo?"The light at the side door was dim and elongated their shadows. When Rex took a step forward, Jenn
Mark reacted with a jolt and quickly took Rex's jacket to cover his face as he scurried to the car. "Get in! F*ck! Your ex-wife destroyed me today!"When Rex and Mark got into the car, Mark quickly put on his clothes while complaining. "Your ex-wife is such a femme fatale. She's so ruthless andheartless! I can't beat her."Rex's face turned cold when he heard his muttered words. He took out a cigarette with his slender fingers and lit it. The smoke coming from the cigarette made his eyes seem dim and inscrutable.Stella and Alexa followed Chris out of the bar. They looked smug when they saw the two men in the car.Chris took a few steps forward to the car. Through the car window, the corners of his lips hooked up into an unruly and playful smile. "Mr. Martinez, it was just a bet, so don't take it to heart. We're still friends, right?"Mark's body shook with anger. 'Hmph! simple for you to say, you're not the one that ran out n*ked! I'm afraid my name will become the laughingstock of
Early morningJenna opened her eyes in the warm morning light. It felt so cozy and mellow that she curled her lips into a sweet smile. Someone knocked on the door right on time. A maid asked in a soft voice, "Miss, are you awake?"Hearing this, Jenna answered in a lazy voice, "Mm...Come in."Last night, Gino's driver brought her to the Anderson mansion.Two maids pushed in a huge clothing rack and spoke respectfully, "Miss, theseare the clothes prepared especially for you. Master and Eldest Young Master arewaiting for you in the dining hall."Jenna was slightly shocked. 'Dad is so extra... bet he wanted to buy out all my favorite brands so that I 'm the only one who can wear them."There were several pieces of the same style in different colors. Although there was no logo, Jenna could tell from the familiar workmanship and fabric that these were from Prada's private collection.Some of them were this season's latest limited edition pieces, so they were invaluable.She certainly had
Jenna looked like she had a headache. "Stella, who the hell is so dumb to send me flowers?""Of course, it's Chris. He instructed me to deliver it to you by hand."'Chris? That Young Master is capable of making things happen!'Stella laughed. "Old Master Avila sent Robert to study abroad. I heard that if he fails this time, his grandpa will break his legs.""Awww...... It's a pity that we didn't get to send him off. I guess we'll just have to wait for him to come back and throw him a nice welcome-back party!"Jenna was helpless and got her assistant to take the flowers out of her office.She felt a lot more comfortable without the strong scent of flowers in the air.Stella nodded. "Yup, my thoughts exactly. By the way, I've looked into PH Corporation like you asked me to last time."Jenna looked up at her. Stella laughed and said, "PH Corporation has long since become a shell company. They keep asking for loans everywhere and owe the bank a large sum of money they can't even pay off. T
