Chapter 20

Time passed very quickly, and it was quiet in the morning. At noon, Jenna tidied her desk and gotready to head out for lunch.

There was a staff cafeteria at Richards Group, but Jenna didn't want to go there. She didn't want tostay too long in this troubled place, so she took the elevator and went to eat at an outside eatery.

She went to the employees' elevator and waited quietly. There was an employee elevator and aspecial elevator in Richards Group. The latter was reserved only for Hansen, Aria, MarissaSotomayor who was Hansen's mother, and the other higher-ups.

The elevator quickly arrived from the top floor. When the elevator came from the top floor, it wasusually empty. She worked on the 86th floor, and the only floor higher than that was the 88th floor,where Hansen's office was. The 87th floor was not numbered due to superstitious reasons.

Jenna walked in when the elevator doors opened. When she looked up, she saw Minnie wearingthe pale red secretary's suit of the Richards Group. She was playing with the latest iPhone in herhand. She looked down at the phone screen with a smile on her face.

Jenna's heart skipped a beat. She blurted out, "Minnie, why are you here?"

Hearing the question, Minnie raised her head and saw Jenna, who was full of curiosity. She smiledand said with disdain, "Why, can't I be here? If you can stay at Richards Group, why can't I? I amyounger and more beautiful than you are. Ms. McAdams trusts me and Mr. Richards likes me verymuch. Of course I have to join Richards Group. Is there anything wrong with that?"

She was straightforward and incomparably arrogant.

Jenna felt sad. After what happened last night, she already knew what Minnie's intentions were.She felt a chill in her heart, then she smiled coldly and said, "Minnie, if you are that ignorant, then I

have nothing to say. However, as your cousin, I want to remind you that at your age now, your focusshould be on completing your studies in school rather than trying to climb up to a higher place andtaking shortcuts. I'm worried that you'll lose everything in the end, and it will do no good to you."

When she finished her words calmly, the elevator bell rang. She turned around, stepped out of theelevator door, and walked outside.

"Jenna, stop," Minnie shouted angrily from behind. "You're just jealous of me because you can't getMr. Richards' love. Anyone who thinks like you will only end up like you, a woman that men wouldeasily abandon."

Her words humiliated Jenna, who stopped and turned around to face her. Her eyes were gloomyand cold. She stared straight at Minnie; her eyes were fixed on her as she approached her.

When she was a child, Minnie was afraid of her brilliant cousin who excelled in every aspect.Although she was upset about it, she did not dare to show it. Now, however, she was the one whostarted to talk rudely, and when faced with Jenna who was stronger and more competent, she feltintimidated and guilty. She was forced to step back as Jenna stepped forward. She was in a panicas she stammered:

"What's the use of studying? There is no guarantee that you can replace a job after graduation. It'severy scholars' dream to get into a company with good benefits like the Richards Group. My choiceis the right one. Moreover, Ms. McAdams thinks highly of me. With her support, what should I beafraid of? Who are you to control me?"

As she said this, Minnie felt confident again. She stood up straight, plucked up her courage andlooked back at Jenna's eyes fiercely.

"What, what do you want? Let me tell you, if you want to get your family's money back by usingHansen, stop dreaming. Mr. Richards won't help you. You only have a beautiful face. If you can do

it, then I'm sure that I can too. I'm much younger and more beautiful than you are."

Jenna's heart felt like it was pricked by a sharp needle, but she would no longer feel sad for such ashallow woman. She waved her hand that was wrapped in white gauze and said coldly, "Minnie,which path you want to choose is your business, but let me warn you, behave yourself and don'tplay tricks in front of me, otherwise, I won't let you go. I'll remember this."

As she was touching her injured hand, she felt as if a cold light had shot straight into her heart.Minnie stared at her indignantly, but she didn't dare to say anything more.

Jenna sneered and turned to walk toward the round floating platform.

A gentleman stood outside the building; he looked sophisticated and elegant. The sun was high inthe sky, illuminating him with a layer of gold, and he looked dazzling in the sunlight.

He smiled slightly, and his pleasant voice was full of charm.

"Jen."

Rayan stood next to an expensive Rolls-Royce and looked at her with a smile.

"Mr. Whalen." Just as Jenna walked down, she was stunned for a moment. Then she reacted andwalked quickly to him. "Brother Rayan, why are you here?"

She raised her head slightly and looked up at him. There was a hint of playfulness on her face, andshe smiled faintly.

Rayan laughed heartily. He looked at Jenna's hand and asked with concern, "Jen, how is yourhand? I couldn't replace you anywhere last night."

Last night?

Jenna felt uncomfortable and shook her head. "It's fine. I'm alright."

"Of course, you have to be fine." Rayan's eyes were full of pity. "I still want to listen to you playingthe piano."

"No problem!" Jenna laughed, the dark blue tint of his car reflected her red lips, revealing a row ofneat crescent-shaped teeth. The sun penetrated her face, but it did not prick her eyes. It turned herface into a charming red color, and all the sad emotions faded away. She looked at the light in thedistance with curved eyebrows. "Young Master Whalen, as long as you want to listen, I'm willing tooffer my services at any time."

"Haha!" Rayan laughed heartily again. "Jen, let's go. I'll bring you to try some French food. Let's trythe French cuisine in A city and see if it tastes good."

"This..." Jenna was a little hesitant as it was her lunch break. There was a meeting at three o'clockin the afternoon too.

"Don't worry, it's not far away. It's just nearby and it won't affect your work." Darkness flashedthrough Rayan's eyes. Fie glanced at the towering building, and a sense of loss rippled through hisheart.

Fie really did not expect that Jenna, who had returned to A city, would actually return to work atRichards Group. Fie was very upset and he wanted to know why she had done so.

Why would she choose this place where she had suffered so much humiliation? Was it only forFlansen?

"Don't worry, let's go," Rayan smiled gently and opened the door.

Jenna no longer hesitated and got into the car.

She was grateful to Rayan from the bottom of her heart. When she left A city three years ago, shehad escaped without a single penny from Flansen. In the three years she spent abroad, shedevoted herself to study car design. The savings she brought from her mother's family were all usedup. After that was gone, she had to go out to replace a job to support her studies.

When she was looking for jobs with her car design model, however, she was disappointed that noone would appreciate her work.

It was dark that day when she stood by the river, holding her car design. She was disheartened,cold, and hungry. She didn't know what to do, and her expression was gloomy.

Not far away, stood a man dressed in a casual denim T-shirt and a cap. He was dressed casually,but there was a brilliant aura about him.

He was calm and elegant, and he had a faint smile on his face.

On that day, after seeing Jenna's design, he had a long chat with her and encouraged her with hiswords.

Then, her luck changed. The company called, and from that point onwards, she became thedesigner for the Whalen Group.

In less than a few months, the car model she designed climbed to popularity all over the world!

Just when she had a taste of success, something happened to her family!

She had no choice but to rush back!
