Jennifer scrolled down the page. As she read the accusations and false information in the article, her hand trembled.She'd never thought that a normal person like her would end up being exposed in public like this.Even though she thought she was mentally strong and generally carefree, she didn't know what to do in the face of the rumors. How was she going to stop them?A while later, her doorbell sounded.Jennifer opened the door to Laura, who was panting. "Jennifer, that article was written to slander you, wasn't it? Did that homewrecker write it? I don't believe you'd do such a thing. I refuse to believe it!"Laura's unwavering trust in her touched Jennifer. She felt like crying.Laura was the first person after her father who believed in her.Maxwell, on the other hand, pitied the villain!In a low voice, Jennifer told Laura about how she had saved the old woman.In the end, she sighed tiredly. "I just didn't expect her to be Rachel's grandmother. Her heart was already fa

Jennifer smiled. "What do you want to eat? I'll cook."She wasn't the best cook, but she could whip up something edible with no problem."Anything will do. I'll go and get a shower first."Still smiling dumbly, Jennifer went into the kitchen.Maxwell had been on a business trip. He hadn't been spending time with Rachel at all.Moreover, the first thing he did when he returned was to follow her to Haven University to protect her.Her husband was warming up to her.Once she got the food ready, she went upstairs to get Maxwell.When she got to the door, she heard him talking gently."Rach, are you really okay? You have to eat something," he said. "Your blood sugar is low. You should take better care of yourself."He paused as Rachel spoke on the other end. "It's not you, I know. I know it's your relatives that did this. You're not like them, Rach."I'm sorry I can't be there when you need me the most, but I've been really busy these few days. I also have to deal with this who

Maxwell walked over to the door.When he saw Rachel, his expression turned into one of guilt.Rachel stared at him. He had clearly just woken up as well.Had the two of them slept together the night before?No wonder he hadn't gone over to her place last night. That wench, Jennifer, had stopped him.Covering up her negative thoughts, Rachel exclaimed, "Max! What happened? Why are there so many rashes on your arms and neck?"Tears began running down her face. "No wonder you weren't picking up your phone last night. You were sick, weren't you? Why didn't you tell me, Max? Thank goodness I came, or I wouldn't have known!"Maxwell thought she was making too much of a fuss out of this. "I'm fine. It was just an allergic reaction.""An allergic reaction?" Rachel said. "You're only allergic to peppers, so I've always avoided putting peppers in your food. Did you not know that, Ms. Yale?"Jennifer stood at the side, feeling like a stranger in her own home.She had no answer to Rachel

Jennifer realized that things had escalated too far immediately. "Laurie, stop it. You're going to get in trouble."Laura still retained her rationality. She had just wanted to teach Rachel a lesson; with that done, she flung Rachel toward the driveway. "Get lost!" She pointed a threatening finger at Rachel. "If I see you harassing Jennifer here, I'll beat you up again!"After Rachel left, Jennifer clutched at her chest. "You scared me, Laurie.""That's nothing." Laura pounded on her chest. "If my future husband ever cheats on me, I'll make sure the bitch regrets being born!"Jennifer laughed as well. "That was rather vindictive, to tell you the truth. If I knew this would happen to me, I would've taken martial arts classes when I was young as well!"As she spoke, she went into the kitchen and got Laura a glass of water.After fighting and sweating so much earlier, she must be thirsty."Why are you here so early, Laurie?" she asked curiously."Sorry, Jennifer," Laura said glo

"Who said you could come here and spout nonsense, Jennifer Yale?" Maxwell said darkly. "Why are you announcing your status to everyone now? Are you trying to use public opinion against me?"Jennifer hadn't expected him to think of her that badly.She suddenly realized that he had fired the receptionist not because he was standing up for her, but because he needed to shut everyone up. It was a subtle threat.She felt cold all over.Maxwell was a ruthless man. She would never understand what was going through his mind."I just hope you can let Laura off lightly. I didn't want to announce our relationship either," Jennifer said meekly. "Laura only did it because of me. She's hot-tempered."Maxwell turned suddenly and stalked over to her. "Do you know how badly you hurt Rach?" he roared. "She's a dancer. You dislocated her arm. This is going to be detrimental to her career! You hate Rachel, don't you, Jennifer Yale? You told Laura to beat her up!"Jennifer almost cried in grievance.
