Jenny probably hadn't expected such a chaotic situation to await her on her first day back in Jipsburg.
"Joe wouldn't fall for someone so easily. In addition, Mrs. Martin Senior was responsible for this marriage. It wasn't Joe's choice," Jenny argued.
Rowan was speechless. He knew that nothing he said would be able to convince her otherwise. He'd give her time to make sense of things. When one locked themselves in a dead end, no one could help them.
"I think Mrs. Martin Senior doesn't like me. She didn't even want to try the necklace I'd gifted her.
"Rowan, would you think that I'm an unlikeable idiot? I've been thinking about this often. I'm just the daughter of a nanny. Many people must've been laughing at me and looking down on me in your circle. You… Do you secretly look down on me as well?" Jenny asked. Her face was devoid of color.
There was something else she didn't understand.
Skylar had grown up in the countryside. Even if she did turn out to be from a wealthy family, her biological parents had gone bankrupt. Word on the street was that they were doing horribly for themselves. She came from a similar background as Jenny, right?
Why did Gloria adore Skylar?
She'd never seen Gloria so close to anyone else. She did not behave in that fashion, even with Joe. It was like she was Gloria's biological granddaughter.
Rowan's heart throbbed. He parked their car by the roadside.
Then, he scolded furiously, "Jenny Scott, you never used to behave like that! Look at what you've become. You're a resentful woman who doesn't dare to face reality. In addition, you've got extremely low self-esteem.
"Is that really necessary? Can't you survive without Joe? As long as I'm here with you, no one will dare to make fun of you! However, if you proceed down this road, I guarantee that you'll be scorned by everyone. You'll be the punchline of their jokes!"
If he hadn't known Jenny since they were children, he would've kicked her off the car without a second thought.
Jenny came to her senses. Her face paled even further.
Before leaving Jipsburg for university, she had been cheery, confident, and filled to the brim with self-love.
