Chapter 19 Big Trouble
In a retro-style villa at Kelsington Bay, the environment was elegant and suitable for recuperation.
Aubree Marsh in white stood in the middle of the living room, wearing an exquisite mask across the left side of her face. She had just read the information about Jennifer collected by her subordinate, and was so angry that her breath became ragged.
“A village head!” Aubree threw the newspaper on the table. “Ivan is out of his mind, isn’t he?”
The newspaper on the tea table was broadcasting her son’s official declaration last night.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
“I’ll never allow such a woman with no status to marry into our family.” She was so angry that she felt unsteady on her feet.
Pippa, her maid, hurried to support her, “Don’t be angry, Madam. It will do harm to your body.”
“And the unidentified children. They can’t be Ivan’s babies. It’s ridiculous!” She stared at the messy documents on the tea table and demanded, “Call that woman right now!”
“Yes.”
At this time, in the courtyard of Emerald Bay, Jennifer was basking in the sun. Sitting on the swing, she felt very depressed at the thought of the future.
She didn’t understand why Ivan sent a message in which he threatened her to make chicken soup and ask children to send it to his office.
She didn’t dare to watch TV today. The news caused such a sensation and Ivan didn’t take any action. She really didn’t know what was on his mind.
The ringtone pulled her back to reality. She took out her phone and found it was an unknown number.
As soon as the line was connected, the person on the other end of the line said aggressively, “Are you Jennifer?”
“Who are you?”
“I’m Ivan’s mother.” This middle-aged woman said in a cold and strong voice. “I have watched the news. I want to see you. Come to Kelsington Bay.”
“What’s up?” Jennifer asked calmly.
Aubree hated her attitude, “Of course I want to know what happened between you and my son. How could you give birth to his children? And you have been married to him for seven years? Liar! You just got the marriage certificate the day before yesterday. Don’t talk nonsense! Come here quickly!”
Then Aubree hung up the phone.
Jennifer didn’t seem to have any chance to refuse, but she was no pushover.
“Mrs. Marsh, here is your tea.”
Turning around, she found Jordan standing behind her. She didn’t know when he came.
Jordan handed the tea to her, “Mrs. Marsh, please tell Mr. Marsh first that Madam Aubree wanted to see you.” Jordan was worried that she couldn’t bear Aubree’s weird temper.
“Okay.”
In fact, Jennifer didn’t feel awkward because she didn’t plan to go there at all.
After Jordan left, she still dialed the number of Ivan.
At this time, Ivan was in the meeting room. Seeing her name on the phone which was muted, he slid to answer the call with his long finger.
This was the first time he answered a phone call in a meeting.
Hearing that his mother wanted to see her, Ivan said with his thin lips, “Don’t go alone. I’ll take you back to have dinner tonight. You need to make some preparations. You can learn about my mom by asking Jordan first. I’m in a meeting. Wait for me to come home.”
Hearing this phone call, all the senior executives of the company had guessed who the other party was, and their hearts were full of gossip.
At this time, Catherine’s car stopped at the gate of Emerald Bay for a while and was allowed to go in.
Sitting on the swing and drinking the ginger tea, Jennifer had a backache.
A red Bentley stopped not far away. After getting out of the car, she saw Catherine at the first sight.
With a livid face, she strode towards her in heels.
