Cutie, Please Marry Me Again (Jenna and Hansen) novel Chapter 248

After eating, Jenna bid goodbye to Meroy before going to the hospital to visit Trevor and Sara in the afternoon.

When she got into the car and was about to set off to Green Jade Garden, she saw Minnie walking towards her from afar.

Unlike in the past, her eyes were not narrowed in a cold- eyed stare upon seeing her. Her expression did not feign arrogance and contemptuous stares were not thrown to her as well. This time around, she avoided her like the plague and immediately turned around in an attempt to leave. It seems that she did not want to meet her at all.

"Stop right there," Jenna yelled as she got off the car.

Now that there was no way to avoid her, Minnie froze in her tracks with her back facing Jenna.

"What's the matter, Jenna?" she turned around in an unwavering manner as she asked mockingly.

"What are you doing here in Ink Garden?" Jenna asked sternly, paying no heed to the sarcasm in her tone.

Minnie stiffened slightly as her expression tensed up. Soon, she asked coldly, "Jenna, although you are now managing the household, you can't restrict me from visiting Ink Garden after all. Ink Garden is palatial, why can't I come here for fun?"

"For fun? Are you really here merely for fun?" Jenna frowned and asked her angrily as she sensed that she was obviously brushing her off.

"What else could I be here for? Perhaps, did you think that I came to get money?" Minnie retorted sarcastically.

"If you have actually come to get money, it would be much easier to handle. I'm just worried that it would be miserable if you failed to get money here and sacrificed your lifelong happiness in the process though," Jenna replied coldly with a sneer on her face.

"What are you trying to say?" Minnie asked anxiously. She trembled as panic was evident in her eyes.

"What could I try to say?" Jenna snickered coldly as she continued, "For the sake of the Murphy family, I have the responsibility to remind you that there is no such thing as a free lunch. It is only right to make money with your own ability through legal means. I suppose you understand that dishonesty will not bring you anywhere."

"No, I don't understand. What exactly are you trying to imply?" Minnie seemed unnerved as she took a step back and asked sharply.

"Don't you understand what I mean? Have your years of education gone down the drain along with Grandpa's teachings? You don't even know what you're actually doing and you lack basic moral judgments. Why did our family bear such an idiot like you?" Jenna took a step forward and questioned sternly.

"Jenna, you are ridiculous to think that you're much better and wiser than me. Everything that you're facing right now just proves you're oblivious to the danger that you are in. You might not even know what actually happened when things tear you apart someday. It's really hilarious that you believe you are qualified to educate me like this," Minnie said as she gritted her teeth in hatred. Soon after, she broke into wild laughter.

Jenna's face turned pale upon hearing her words. She bit her lip and shot daggers at her.

"Minnie, it's pathetic how you totally ignored my advice and tried to mock me instead. If you insist on committing wrongdoings despite my kind reminder, don't regret it then. I am doing this solely for the sake of our family's reputation and it is your own business whether you choose to listen or not," Jenna remarked disappointedly.

"Oh, so I should thank you for your kindness then?" Minnie scoffed as she continued, "You're probably begging me just because you feel bad. Sorry to break it to you but it's impossible for you to remarry Mr. Richards and become the Young Madam once again. Since Aria can get Mr. Richards to divorce you, don't expect to remarry him. Even if you are in charge of the household now, so what? Your life in honor would not last long. Old Madam is in her dotage and once she meets her end, you will be nothing."

Contempt and disdain were evident on Minnie's face as she glared at Jenna with a piercing gaze.

Her words made Jenna's heart skip a beat. She squinted at Minnie. Could it be that she has really done something?

"What are you looking at me for?" Minnie asked alarmingly when she saw Jenna's piercing stare on her.

"You do seem guilty apparently. Perhaps, you've done something disgraceful?" Jenna's stare at her intensified. She didn't plan to let her off the hook just like that as she questioned again.

"Absolutely not. What could I possibly do?" Minnie retorted harshly after being forced to take a step back due to her interrogation.

"Minnie, I would like to remind you once again to leave Aria alone. Please don't violate the law and hurt lives in any way. What goes around comes around and the evil you do remains with you as well. I suppose you understand how the law works and know basic common sense," Jenna exhaled deeply, almost earnestly speaking.

"Nonsense! I did not do anything at all, b*tch. Mind your own business. You will be kicked out of Richards Manor soon anyway, therefore stop being pretentious when your days are ending soon." Feeling disturbed by Jenna's words, Minnie couldn't stay any longer. Chills ran down her spine as she took in Jenna's menacing glare. After she retorted viciously, she turned around and left the scene in a hurry.

Watching her flee the scene in panic, Jenna felt as if her heart was sewn tightly by piercing needles that it eventually suffocated her, making her feel nauseous with dread.

She got into the car once again and drove to Green Jade Garden.
