Lifting his head sharply, Finley glared at Maxwell with hatred, as if he wanted to bore a hole through him.At this moment, the girls on the court were practically swooning over Maxwell.Many of them started flocking around Jennifer, asking, "Jennifer, is your brother still single?""Does he have a girlfriend? Is he married?""What does your brother do? He plays basketball so well!"Surrounded by these people, Jennifer was unsure of how to respond.Quincy suddenly realized that Jennifer was actually quite soft-hearted despite her sharp tongue. Why did she treat Jennifer like an enemy before?In the end, Quincy couldn't bear to see Jennifer being attacked by those people.She stepped forward and spoke up for Jennifer. "Enough! Jennifer's brother already has a girlfriend. You guys don't stand a chance. Now, leave us alone!"Hearing that, all the girls became dejected and walked away.Since Jennifer's brother already had a girlfriend, all their fantasies were shattered.Only af

After Rachel left, Maxwell didn't notice the pillbox she left behind.He slammed the steering wheel hard, feeling regretful and guilty.He should have gone after Rachel and brought her back. After all, they loved each other, and she had been with him since their university days.What had she done that she needed to bear his negative emotions?But for some reason, Maxwell took out his phone and instinctively dialed Jennifer's number.…In the grill house, Jennifer saw his call. She decided to ignore it, and she switched off her phone.She continued to eat the spicy beef brisket on her plate. Her nose and eyes turned red from the spice.Quincy couldn't help but ask, "Was that him? Jennifer, what's going on? I also felt that the man didn't seem like your brother at all. But then, why did a woman suddenly show up?"Jennifer smiled bitterly and said, "If I tell you my secrets, will you betray me?"Quincy was slightly surprised and said solemnly, "If you're willing to tell me your

As Jennifer said that, she ordered another plate of spicy lamb chops. People would eat a lot when they were angry.She thought Maxwell would be driven away out of anger.But Jennifer didn't expect that he, with his slight obsession with cleanliness, would pick up a fork."What are you doing?" Jennifer asked as she saw him take a piece of spicy lamb. "You're allergic to chili, don't you know that?"Maxwell calmly looked at her and said, "Either you come with me, or I eat spicy food with you. Someone has to compromise in a relationship, right?"Jennifer said angrily, "Do as you please. Don't think you can threaten me with this.""I'm not threatening you." After saying that, Maxwell ate the piece of lamb chop. Feeling the spiciness, he quickly took a sip of the soda from Jennifer's cup.Jennifer was stunned.She didn't expect that he would really eat something here and even drink the soda she had drunk.Smiling, Maxwell looked at her. "I didn't expect the food in this ordinary pl

Rachel pretended to look surprised as she quickly left his embrace. "How... No, no, you got it wrong. That's not mine. Max, you should go back. I'm really fine. Go back now."The more she acted like this, the more Maxwell felt that she was truly ill.The way she held the fruit knife and gestured on her wrist just now was exactly like the behavior of someone with depression.Maxwell held her shoulders with both hands and stared into her eyes. "Tell me. When did you start getting sick?"Thinking about how cold he had been to her these past few days when she was sick, Maxwell felt extremely regretful.Under his questioning, Rachel finally spoke in a choked-up voice. "It was probably that night after I slept with you. You know I'm quite a traditional woman. I care a lot about my virginity."I always thought that after being together for so long, you would give me an answer. But now, I dare not hope anymore. I feel like you've changed. You probably don't love me anymore."At this poi

Jocelyn tried to act nice and went over to hold Jennifer's hand, but Jennifer quickly dodged her."Oh, Jennifer. How could you speak to your grandmother like this? You really have misunderstood her," Jocelyn said with a smile that didn't reach her eyes. "Your grandmother is just worried you wouldn't be treated well in the Lance family and that you might end up wasting away your youth without getting anything in return."Jennifer was realizing all the more that these women hadn't asked her to come over for any simple reason. Jocelyn reminded her of the phrase "There was no smoke without fire". "Why did you ask me to come here today?" Jennifer asked, brows knitted together. "I'm going to leave now if there's nothing else."Agnes called after her, "Wait, you ungrateful child! I'm only upset to see you being so disrespected in the Lance family. We're your mother's relatives after all. We can't just sit and do nothing to help."Jennifer snorted and asked, "How do you plan to help me?
