Chapter 010 Jenny Got a Bellyache and Bled

Lillian’s barrage of questions annoyed Barret a little.

He tugged at his tie and said lightly, “Mom, Jenny has been calm. It’s not as serious as you

make it out to be.”

“It’s not serious?”

Lillian tried to calm herself down and looked at Barret again. “Your grandpa doesn’t know about this yet. If he finds it out, you won’t get away with it, so behave yourself.”

“Well, I can tell what you’re thinking. If you want to hide it, hide it well. Grandpa’s health has been very poor lately and he’s not what he used to be. If he notices anything wrong with you and gets worse, I’ll teach you a good lesson as your mother.”

“And don’t think we’ll agree if you tell Jenny to ask for a divorce. I advise you to give up already. You’re my son, so I know you well enough.”

“Laura is not as innocent as you think. She had left decisively and came back like that after two years. Do you know what she’s up to?”

While Barret sipped at his tea, he wasn’t as calm as he looked.

How did his mother know all this?

On the way home, Barret didn’t say a word as he sat in the car, simmering with rage.

Even the driver in the front was holding his breath, gingerly.

“Jenny?” Barret called her by name just as he got home, trying to hold back his anger.

“Where is she?”

Just as he finished speaking, he saw Jenny on the couch.

As he approached, Jenny happened to wake up.

Seeing him come back, Jenny immediately rubbed her eyes and said sleepily, “You’re back? By the way, I have something to tell you. I think Mom has found out that we are getting a divorce.”

“Didn’t you tell her?” Barret asked angrily.

Jenny was confused by his question.

It took her a moment to get what he was saying and she looked incredulously at the man standing in front of her. “What do you mean? You mean I told Mom that we’re getting a

divorce?”

“Didn’t you?”

“No, I didn’t.”

Barret sneered, his dark eyes turning sharp and cold.

The coldness shot straight into Jenny’s heart, simply hurt worse than a knife. “I’ve only ever
