Jennings Family.
Since the incident happened that day, Yvette has been hiding at ho, not daring to go out.
The pressure from public opinion online was overwhelming, and Yvette was once again thrust into the spotlight.
She didn’t dare to go anywhere, only dared to hide.
Holly Ziegler called her several tis, but she didn’t dare to go out.
"Have you eaten?" Henry Jennings ca back, carrying dinner.
Yvette ca out of the room, shaking her head.
She didn’t dare to look at her phone or even step outside.
She was afraid those people online would block her at her doorstep again like six years ago, throwing trash at her, cursing her to die, saying she deserved all the suffering.
"Eat sothing." Henry Jennings opened the porridge and let Yvette have so.
Yvette sat by the dining table, her hands sowhat numb.
"I’ve already suppressed the online public opinion. Soon, no one will rember this incident." Henry Jennings reassured Yvette.
Yvette remained silent. Would it really be suppressed soon? The internet has no mory, but she does.
"In these few days, try not to go out. Don’t go to the club either. After the Chamber of Comrce banquet, I’ll take you out to relax." Henry Jennings didn’t want Yvette to go out because the Bell Family was looking for her for a private settlent.
It wasn’t just the Bell Family looking for her, even the Aston and Grant Families were looking for her.
Yvette looked up at Henry Jennings, waiting for his answer.
But Henry Jennings never gave her a definite answer.
"If Claudia Bell gets into criminal responsibility, the Bell Family certainly wouldn’t agree. They will do everything they can to find . Claudia Bell, after all, is your fiancée. They’ll eventually find ." Yvette knew well, there is no wall without cracks.
Staying at Henry Jennings’ place didn’t necessarily an safety.
"With around." Henry Jennings just wanted Yvette to feel reassured.
Yvette said no more, taking a deep breath.
She hadn’t eaten much, feeling nauseated, she got up and walked back to her room, her figure thin and lonely.
Henry Jennings had countless urges to pull her into a hug, but Yvette always had an aura of aloofness.
He actually knew well that if he hadn’t broken off the engagent with the Bell Family this ti, Yvette might find it hard to open her heart to him.
But he was confident enough to keep Yvette by his side.
He just needed so ti...
The old man refusing to relinquish power ant he couldn’t annul his engagent with the Bell Family.
The Bell Family had been searching for him these days, urging him to rescue Claudia Bell.
He had done his best to dodge everyone, letting Claudia Bell learn a good lesson, as those who make mistakes always need to pay a price.
But Henry Jennings also knew that this couldn’t be dragged on for long.
The phone rang again, and Henry Jennings glanced at it, knowing it was Grandpa Bell once more.
Rubbing his temples, Henry Jennings answered the call.
"Grandpa Bell." Grandpa Bell and Henry Jennings’ grandfather were comrades-in-arms, maintaining a good relationship over the years.
"Henry Jennings, how are you handling the situation with Claudia being bullied in Montville?" The old man ca with an accusatory tone.
"Grandpa Bell, Claudia made the first mistake in this matter." Henry Jennings frowned.
"Claudia is your fiancée. It’s what your grandfather promised personally. We don’t care how many won you have outside, but if Claudia finds out, she has every right to hit whoever she wants."
Henry Jennings remained silent, only rubbing his temples.
"I’m with your grandfather here. I’ve co personally to Montville. My granddaughter was bullied and jailed. I want to see who has such capability."
On the other end, Henry Jennings’ grandfather spoke. "Bring that woman back."
"Grandfather, that’s impossible." Henry Jennings frowned.
He could never bring Yvette back to the Jennings Family.
"Henry Jennings, I see your wings have stiffened." The Jennings Family patriarch was very angry.
"I’m going ho now, but as for her... don’t you touch her." Henry Jennings checked the ti, his expression grave.
Grandpa Bell coming to Montville in person changed the nature of things.
Yvette persisting could lead to very unfavorable outcos for her.
Hanging up the phone, Henry Jennings subconsciously looked back.
Yvette was standing at the doorway, evidently having heard their conversation.
"Yvette..." Henry Jennings wanted to explain.
Yvette’s eyes reddened, clenching the hem of her dress tightly. "Go ho..."
Henry Jennings felt a pang in his heart but still spoke. "About Claudia Bell... Give her a lesson, and then drop the case? Grandpa Bell coming to Montville, dragging this out will be detrintal to you."
Yvette’s gaze trembled, taking a deep breath, suppressing the grievance in her heart. "I won’t..."
She would never compromise.
"Even if it involves Sumrs and Caden Sumrs?" Henry Jennings didn’t want to tell Yvette, afraid it would worry her.
"What do you an..." Yvette stepped forward nervously, looking at Henry Jennings with fear.
"The Bell Family has already reached out to Caden Sumrs. Sumrs has also been ostracized by classmates, and has temporarily suspended her schooling."
Yvette helplessly took a step back. She knew... knew the Bell Family wouldn’t let Sumrs and Caden Sumrs off.
"Even if I compromise, they won’t spare !" Yvette cried out, losing control.
"Yvette..." Henry Jennings stepped forward to hold her, trying to calm her. "First, drop the case. I’ll handle the rest. Trust , okay?"
"Henry Jennings... you’re not going to call off the engagent, right? You’re not going to!" Yvette pushed Henry Jennings away, retreating helplessly.
"Tomorrow is the ridia Chamber of Comrce banquet, your answer, it’s already clear..." Yvette trembled all over, her heart pounding.
Henry Jennings wouldn’t call off the engagent with the Bell Family, she knew.
As long as Henry Jennings didn’t call it off, she absolutely could never choose Henry Jennings.
Even as a ploy, it was unacceptable.
She would never be soone else’s mistress, giving others a reason to continue hurting her, absolutely not.
"Yvette..." Henry Jennings didn’t know how to explain, it was very complicated. "Calling off the engagent isn’t as simple as you think. The marriage between businesses and families involves many entanglents."
Yvette smiled wryly, taking a step back.
To put it bluntly, it was because she wasn’t important enough.
In fact, she knew she wasn’t important, utterly insignificant.
"At most two years, once I fully take charge, Claudia Bell and I are just in formality, nothing more." Henry Jennings wanted Yvette to understand that he didn’t love Claudia Bell, marrying her was just for power.
Yvette continued to retreat, shaking her head continuously.
Henry Jennings wasn’t the person she wanted to choose.
The phone rang again and again, Henry Jennings irritably tugged at his tie. "Rest well at ho, hide for a while during this period."
After saying that, Henry Jennings left.
With Grandpa Bell coming to Montville, he inevitably brought all the Bell Family mbers along.
This matter, he needed to stabilize the old man’s emotions for now.
Moreover, the old man’s health hadn’t been well for years, with high blood pressure; he was truly afraid it might lead to sothing worse.
As for Yvette...
Before leaving, Henry Jennings looked back at Yvette.
She now had no one to depend on, only relying on his protection.
He could hide her away for a few years... then decide.
Yvette stood numb in place, watching Henry Jennings leave.
She couldn’t... stay here any longer.
The Bell Family calling Henry Jennings away was surely to find her.
Being with Henry Jennings wasn’t safe.
In a panic, she ran back to the room, grabbed her phone, wrapped herself tightly in a coat, and hesitated for a mont before going to the kitchen to fetch a fruit knife, quickly running outside.
But it was still too late.
As soon as Henry Jennings left, three black sedans had already stopped outside the door.
It was clear that Henry Jennings coming here had already exposed her location.
From the car, Jayden Grant and Stellan Aston got out.
The other cars were full of Bell Family mbers.
