Barret quickly found the shop with the details provided in the message, thus identifying Jenny’s location. When he pushed open the door and was about to go to Jenny Carey walked in to report a very urgent matter. After it, Barret frowned and commanded, “Arrange a meeting with the board members immediately”
“Yes, Mr. Smith.”
So, finding Jenny was put on hold for now.
Jenny and Penny continued shopping, except for the jewellery section on the ground floor, they had already shopped in all other shops.
In fact, Jenny wasn’t very crazy about jewellery.
She took Penny’s arm and looked a little embarrassed. ‘Penny, I don’t want to go.”
“Why?”
“Those jewels are all very expensive, I feel bad splurging his money like this.”
Jenny had been frugal since she was young, and even after she went to the Smith family, she had never developed the habit of being extravagant.
“Splurge?” Penny looked at Jenny in surprise and tugged her little ears. “Jenny, what are you thinking? If you think this kind of money from your husband is squandering, then you are too much of a downer on him.”
“Just this amount of money is a mere fraction of the Smith family.”
Jenny blinked, with her eyes goggling at Penny. “Does he make that much money?”
Although Jenny knew that the Smith family was very powerful and fabulously wealthy, she had always felt that there was an element of exaggeration, plus she had never enquired about it, so she literally had no idea how much money the Smith family could make. All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.
Then let me ask you, Mrs. Smith, do you think I make a lot of money?”
Jenny immediately nodded. “Of course.”
“Well then, just imagine Barret makes hundreds, thousands of the money I make, would you say he makes a lot. of money?”
As soon as Jenny heard this, she immediately raised her fingers and began to calculate.
At the end of the calculation, she was at a loss.
Penny grabbed her hand. “Okay, don’t do the math, you just need to know one thing, your husband is rich, very. very rich, and not just any rich, it’s super obscenely rich, so just spend it as you please.”
“I’m telling you, you’ll be sorry for him if you don’t spend a few millions today
Penny’s words instantly made Jenny laugh.
Moreover, she felt that what Penny said was very reasonable.
“Then let’s go, I’ll pay for all the jewellery you fancy today. Jenny said, patting her chest.
Penny smiled slyly “Aren’t you afraid that I’ll blackmail you?”
“Didn’t you say that Barret makes so much money? So much money that it is just a bunch of numbers, and I’ll just make the numbers move a bit today.”
“Well, if you insist.”
With that, they walked happily into the jewellery shop, arm in arm.
With the shop assistant’s enthusiastic recommendation, they got their eyes on a pearl necklace.
The pearl necklace was not very conspicuous compared to other diamond necklaces, and the pearls were all strung together in white.
However, the pearls on that necklace were very exquisite and lustrous. Both Penny and Jenny fell in love with it at first glance.
Moreover, when they put it on around their necks, it made their necks look slim and long, and matched their skin tones. It was like specially made for them.
“We’ll take this one, two of them.”
Jenny then handed the bank card directly to the shop assistant.
Well, at this moment, it seemed like she enjoyed the thrill and privilege of being a rich person.
It turned out that she did feel different to spend money on herself.
Penny smiled as she handed over her own card. “Pay it separately.”
Jenny looked at her dissatisfiedly. “I said I would pay for our bill. How come you regret it now?”
“Forget it, what if I spend Barret’s money and then he’d have leverage in case he wants me to disclose your information and upset you?”
“So, I’d better not give him the chance to buy me off.”
Seeing her say this, Jenny no longer insisted.
She knew Penny so well, that as long as she made her decision, it would be final and difficult to change. They paid the orders and put on the necklace for each other.
Just as they were about to leave the shop, they suddenly saw two familiar figures.
Jenny held Penny in her arms and tried to avoid being seen by them.
It wasn’t that Jenny was afraid of them, it was just she didn’t care to talk with them, and she felt that wasting her time on such people was a waste of life.
On the contrary, Laura Hill, one of the two people, called out to her, “Jenny, what a coincidence, I didn’t expect to see you here.”
“Really, I didn’t expect that either,” Jenny responded indifferently.
At that moment, Lucy Smith ran up to Jenny in a huff, tilted her head and looked at her angrily. “You’re Jenny? It was so hard for me to cover you last time!”
“When grandpa was around, all the people gave in to you and listened to you, now that grandpa is gone, who else still can protect you?”
Laura immediately saw that there was a story between Jenny and Lucy, and then she looked at Lucy, asking warmly, “What’s wrong, Lucy? Mrs. Smith is a very nice lady, is there any misunderstanding between you two?”
“There is no misunderstanding,” Lucy said firmly.
Then she looked at Laura. “Laura, do you know, that last time she was the reason why I got kicked out of the
Smith family by grandpa and Barret? I was such a mess and became a joke to everyone.”
“What?” Laura was in astonishment.
Then with a shocking look at Jenny. “Jenny, you wouldn’t do something like that, would you? Lucy is just a little girl, she doesn’t know much, if she did something that has offended you, I’ll apologise on her behalf.” “Then Laura you’re being way too kind. Apologize on behalf of someone else? Unfortunately……” Jenny looked at her and spat out word by word. “I don’t accept it.”
“Jenny, do you have to be so pushy? I know you don’t like me, but Lucy is Barret’s sister after all. They are the only siblings in these generations in the Smith family. Even if Barret is angry at Lucy, he would not hold at grudge in his heart, in the end, they’re brother and sister.”
Upon hearing this, Lucy nodded. “Laura is right, Barret will always be my brother, and I will always be his sister, this is the blood relationship, it cannot be erased. But you are different, you are just an adopted daughter brought back to the Smith family by grandpa, once grandpa passed away, there will be no one to acknowledge your existence. You are nothing but a watchdog now, do you think you can still bite people?”
Lucy’s words were very harsh to hear.
However, Jenny didn’t take it seriously.
If she couldn’t even get over what Lucy said, as the daughter-in-law in the Smith family, how else could she do the things her grandfather had entrusted her with and how could she hold up the Smith family in the future? Jenny smiled, looked at Lucy and gently said, “You’re right, of course, I can’t bite.”
“Dogs are not like people, and it’s inevitable that they don’t understand much. If I was bit by a dog, do I have to bite the dog back for revenge?”
Jenny calmly replied in a subtle way.
Lucy was so angry that she rushed straight toward Jenny, and she raised her hand and slapped it straight down.
