An Unbreakable Addiction

Chapter 0038

"Why should I be so fixated on what I gain or lose here? Jenna thought, suppressing her frustration

Mr. Jasper Sr. let out a cold hum, pulling out a handkerchief from his pocket and meticulously wiping the bracelet. The sight made Jenna feel utterly humiliated All she wanted was to leave as quickly as possible

"I've returned the bracelet. I'll head out now," she said, her voice soft and gaze tender as she looked at

Hunter.

"Till walk you out," Hunter offered.

"That's not necessary. Stay and spend more time with your grandfather, Jenna replied, though she secretly hoped he would accompany her

But as long as this stubborn old man was around, any attention Hunter showed her would only worsen the situation. She was pregnant, counting on staying in the Jasper family for a comfortable future Antagonizing Mr. Jasper Sr. would do her no good. Taking a breath, Jenna thought, "It's fine. I'll endure for now, but one day, he'll pay me back tenfold

Hunter frowned, "Why do you always put others before yourself? Can't you stand up for yourself a bit?

Jenna glanced at him, lips ready to spill some sweet words, but Mr. Jasper Sr. our ner off. "If you're leaving, then go already. If Mia sees you here, it'll only make things uncomfortable

Seeing her putting on an act only annoyed him more

Jenna's eyes filled with tears, and she replied softly, "T be going now."

Hunter noticing her watery gaze, frowned slightly, "Fine, let's go. I'll walk you outContent property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Jenna bit her lip and shook her head pitifully, hurrying toward the exit as if she were bearing the word's greatest grievance.

Lowering her head and walking quickly. Jenna bumped right into Mis at the doorway. With Mis standing taller, Jenna's head collided with Mia's chest.

Jenna quickly apologized, "I'm so sorry!"

Mia winced, letting out a soft hiss of pain. Recognizing Mia's voice, a glint of calculation flasted m Jenna's eyes. She clutched her stomach, slowly crouched to the floor, and tears began to well up "t hurts

Mia glanced down at her, a faint, mocking smile playing on her lips. Her voice was calm but tinged with amusement, Dh? Trying to play the victim again? Just so you know, this time I have it on video." She then raised her phone slightly.

Mia was indeed holding a phone, though only she knew whether it was actually recording Aher Jenna's previous stunt, Mia wasn't about to let her get away with it again.

The words Jenna was about to say caught in her throat, stifled by the frustration building up inside. Tears streamed down her cheeks in a pitiful display

Seeing Jenna on the floor, Hunter finally snapped to attention and hurried over

Mr. Jasper Sr., on the other hand, waved happily at Mia, "Mia, come over here, my dear"

Mia greeted him warmly, "Hello, Grandpa."

She was about to step forward when Hunter grabbed her wrist, his tone angry, "You're not going anywhere. Apologize."

Mia pulled her wrist free and turned to him, frowning, "And why should I apologize?

Hunter had not even bothered to find out what actually happened before demanding an apology. Did he really think she was that easy to push around? With her head down, Jenna allowed a sly smirk to play on her lips.

"You knocked her down. Shouldn't you apologize?" Hunter asked, not having seen what really went on at

the doorway.

All he saw was Jenna on the floor, and he immediately assumed Mia had pushed her, considering how cold Mia usually was toward Jenna.

Mia let out a disbelieving laugh, looking down at Jenna. Her lips curled into a sharp smile as she asked, Are you sure you want me to apologize?" Chapter 4099
