Jenny didn’t want to be Edwin’s lover. He was older than her father, for god’s sake. She didn’t want to give herself a hard time bending to Edwin’s every will to please him.
Edwin looked horrible. He chuckled coldly and promised, “Alright, you’ll be begging me for it in the future.”
He threw that statement out and left mercilessly.
Jenny watched Edwin leave at a moment’s notice. She froze for a second before laughing coldly. She mumbled to herself, “Beg you? I’ll never do that. If you? Content © NôvelDrama.Org.
“I’ve got to come up with an idea so Joe trusts me again!”
Many people were crowded in Denton’s room. His three children and a bunch of grandchildren were in the room.
Everyone who was available had shown up. Those who weren’t available were more or less on their deathbed.
Hector had gotten into an accident today. He was Denton’s favorite grandchild. The news weakened Denton greatly. Everyone else was terrified.
The Ruells were one of the most powerful families in Jipsburg. They’d never encountered crises like what happened the past two days.
In the beginning, they thought it was just an accident. However, when accidents happened one after another, it was unlikely that it was a coincidence.
Buck walked in. Denton asked immediately, “How’s Hector doing? Did the operation go well?”
He nodded and answered, “It succeeded. However, he’s still unconscious. The doctor said his right hand won’t be as flexible as it used to be.”
“Dad, I heard someone from the Doherty family say that there’s a negative item at home. That antique caused a slew of accidents for our family.
“In the past, I thought that the explanation for that car accident was nothing
more than a conspiracy theory. Such bullshit. However, I’m inclined to believe that there is indeed a negative item. In the past few days, it’s been nothing but car accidents and fires. Dad even got a stroke. He used to be so healthy.
“Today, Hector has become the latest victim. A kid committing suicide fell on top of him. He could’ve died,” said Pamela Hale, Hector’s mom.
They knew Denton was extremely stubborn. He found fault in everything his children said. In the past, people had suggested that it was a more complicated issue and not just an accident. In the end, Denton talked them down mercilessly. He threatened that such words better not appear before him again.
In the end, her child nearly lost his life in a few days! Perhaps the rest of them would suffer the same fate in due time.
Vera was the only one present from her family. Her parents were in a ward. They couldn’t make the trip. Upon hearing what her uncles and aunts said, she wrung her hands.
Negative items…
After Hector suffered, she asked someone from the Doherty family for advice. She knew one of Frank’s granddaughters.
She learned about what happened. Once she heard that the dress was a negative item, she began believing that there might really be a negative item in their family. Whether it was one of the antiques she purchased remained to be
seen.
They’d better not…
Denton furrowed his brows. However, he’d relaxed slightly. He must’ve
internalized what Pamela told him. His sons and daughters said so too. The number of accidents that had occurred influenced his decision too.
After a brief moment of thought. He took a deep breath and said, “Get a master of divination to look over the house.”
He couldn’t embarrass himself so Alexander could laugh at him about it.
