Joe's gaze grew colder. "Jenny, you're not a child anymore. You need to handle things on your own. Can crying solve the problem?"
"I…"
"I remember you made quite a few friends in college and even had a boyfriend. You could have him come to Jipsburg to work," Joe said.
Jenny looked shocked. "I… I didn't have a boyfriend in college. Joe, who told you that I did? It's true that I had someone pursue me during college, but we were just classmates, at most friends. We were never a couple, and I've never been in a relationship with anyone."
Joe was indifferent. "Whether you've had a boyfriend or not doesn't matter."
"Joe, I…" Jenny wanted to seize the opportunity to confess her feelings, but before she could finish, Edwin's arrival interrupted her.
Edwin seemed surprised to see Joe. "Joe, what a coincidence!"
Joe narrowed his eyes, his gaze sharp. "Coincidence?"
"Seeing me here and not even calling me Dad?" Edwin frowned in dissatisfaction.
Molly took the opportunity to speak. She said, "Joe, it's quite a coincidence to run into you. There are some things I need to tell you. Actually, the mistakes from the past weren't your father's fault, nor your mother's. It was all my fault. I'm responsible for the consequences from back then.
"I've been plagued by guilt all these years. It's been so long, and you and your father should not let this issue affect your relationship. I'll do everything I can to make amends."
Her words were heartfelt, filled with genuine emotion and remorse. Even after leaving the entertainment industry, her acting skills could still surpass many actresses.
Jenny watched in shock. She would have believed Molly was truly remorseful if she hadn't known Molly's true nature.
Joe's expression was cold, as if the two people before him were something repulsive. He didn't hide his disdain and simply uttered a single word, "Leave."
