"Mom, why aren't you driving this wicked woman away? Is she going to marry Dad?" Jerry was extremely disappointed right then, as he asked in a tearful and angry tone.
Jenna breathed a sigh before saying solemnly, "Jerry, go home with Aunt Ella first and don't come out again. Stay at home obediently."
After that, she handed Jerry over to Aunt Ella.
Aunt Ella also knew that it wasn't suitable for Jerry to show up on such an occasion. So, she took his hand and was about to leave immediately.
Jenna heaved a sigh of relief. Her whole face was tense, and she felt very uneasy.
What kind of tricks did Liya have up her sleeve? Who was that man? What exactly did he say to her?
It seemed that that day was destined to be an eventful day.
"Jerry, Jerry, come back." When Jenna was about to head to Central Island, Aunt Ella's scream of panic came from behind.
Jenna was shocked and turned around.
She saw that Jerry was running towards the electric vehicle and was stunned for a moment, but she quickly understood what was happening.
It turned out that the little guy wanted to leave home in desperation.
She felt a stab of pain in her heart. Just as she was rushing over, Jerry was wiggling his butt as he tried to get up the electric vehicle.
It seemed that if she didn't try to talk some sense into him that day, she really couldn't get away. Jerry really was stubborn!
"Jerry, be good. Mom wants to talk to you for a bit, alright?" She stepped forward to embrace him and coaxed him.
"No. I don't want to listen to you. I don't trust you anymore." Jerry swung his hands and legs at Jenna. "I don't want that kind of woman to be my stepmother. No."
Jerry cried out in despair, as he spoke with his face covered in tears.
Jenna's heart felt as if it was torn apart by a sharp knife. She had no choice but to lift Jerry up forcefully and turn around. Her tears started to fall without her realizing it.
"Haha. The struggle between the first wife and the second wife, and the pain between mother and son. It really is enjoyable and sad to watch." Crisp and loud laughter sounded from the side, and the words were said in a joyful tone. Jenna and Aunt Ella were shocked to hear that and turned around at the same time.
A woman with exquisite makeup, dressed in a fashionable, noble, European-style dress, came out from under the shade of a tree on the side, followed by a smart and capable woman in professional attire.
Zoella Yates?
She actually came!
Jenna's face changed drastically, as she was shocked.
Did she invite her? She frowned as she recalled that her name wasn't on the invitation letters she had sent the day before.
It seemed that she really was there to watch the fun. She should have also seen what had happened just then. That woman definitely came with bad intentions.
Aunt Ella did not know her. So, she inspected her with curious and vigilant eyes.
The aura that the woman emitted wasn't friendly. Her intuition told her so.
Jenna clenched her fist with no expression on her face.
"Why are you here?"
Zoella slowly approached her, and her fragrant but not particularly strong perfume quickly drifted into her nose.
"How can I miss such a big event? Won't it be a pity if I miss it?" Zoella's crisp voice sounded like a gloat. Her astute eyes were full of sarcasm, disdain, and even incitement. She lifted her chin slightly and didn't seem friendly at all even though she was smiling. The aura that was emitted from her body seemed to be mixed with sharp thorns that could pierce through one's skin.
Jenna clenched her fists even tighter, and her face tensed up. Her white skin was glowing with a layer of red light due to her desperately trying to suppress her anger. Her face was cold and expressionless.
It seemed that she didn't like Zoella any more.
There were many times where she would wonder if it was her marriage with Hansen that had attracted so many enemies, or because of her reputation as Mrs. Richards, or because of the wealth, power, and status she possessed that had brought her a lot of trouble.
If it was said that Liya only wanted money, then Zoella's intention wasn't as simple as just wanting money. Her thoughts were unpredictable.
"Mrs. Richards, I still remember that you once said that a woman who only compromises is cheap. Aren't you very cheap then for letting your husband marry a mistress generously and even hosting their wedding in person?" Zoella saw Jenna's red eyes as she approached her. The pain she was feeling could not be hidden in the depths of her eyes. She then smiled quietly and asked in a low voice with contempt.
Jenna's face instantly turned pale. As if she had lost her balance, Zoella's words caused her to take a step back, and she even almost let go of Jerry.
Endure, she had to endure no matter what! She tried to cheer herself up in her heart, so as not to lose confidence.
"Mom, this woman isn't a good person either. I don't want to see her. Drive her out." Jerry also clearly sensed the unfriendly aura emanating from Zoella. He hugged Jenna's neck tightly in fear and shouted.
"Miss Yates, if you're here to attend the wedding ceremony, please go to Central Island and take your seat. If you're just here to watch the fun, I'm sorry, but you're not welcome here." Jenna was worried that Jerry would be triggered, and she was even more unwilling to talk with Zoella. Thus, she spoke coldly in the face of Zoella's piercing gaze.
With Jerry present, she didn't want to argue with her. That woman was smart and capable, so she probably couldn't get the upper hand. Moreover, she would leave a bad impression on Jerry's heart if she did so. That was why she coldly refused to talk to her. She only wanted to send her away as soon as possible.
Zoella smiled coldly. "Jenna, I thought you were different, but I didn't expect you to be so unrefined. You can even compromise in front of a man for fame and fortune. Not only can you accept your husband cheating, but you can also accept a second wife openly. It seems that I've really misjudged you. Surely enough, all women can't live without a man. Even if they lose their self-esteem and dignity, they will not hesitate to do anything not to leave one."
At that moment, Zoella truly felt the sorrow and pain Jenna and Jerry were feeling, and at the same time, she also looked down on Jenna from the bottom of her heart. The reason a woman personally held the wedding of her husband and his mistress was that she wanted to please him and not be abandoned by him, right? Zoella looked down on such women, and she thought that Jenna couldn't even be her opponent.
She was relieved!
One day, if she succeeded, then she would never be the second Jenna.
