Translator: 549690339

Inside the Jenkins family’s villa, the atmosphere was tense.

Leaning on the sofa, Zachary Jenkins listened boredly to Mr. Jenkins scolding.

“You’re a child of the Jenkins family, and you’re not allowed to take risks with your life in the future!” Mr. Jenkins slammed his crutch on the ground, “You promised me before that after returning from the Gallagher family, you would never interfere with their affairs again. You even took risks with Oliver. Those people live on the edge of danger. If you’re not careful, they’ll silence you!”

Thinking about what Zachary Jenkins had done in the past few days, Mr. Jenkins was so angry that he blew his beard and stared.

Zachary Jenkins raised his eyes slightly and lazily smiled: “It’s not that nothing has happened, I’ve been prepared, and this risk has to be taken.”

If he hadn’t come forward, how could Xavier Gallagher have exposed his trump card so viciously?

He just didn’t expect that Xavier Gallagher would be so ruthless, demanding his death and disembodied corpse.

The big brother who once saved him at the cost of his life had changed after all.

Seeing that he was in a bad mood, Mr. Jenkins scolded angrily, “People change, do you really think that the people of the Gallagher family are good eggs?”

“If it weren’t for the police arriving in time, who would win or lose is uncertain.”

Mr. Jenkins scolded fiercely, but this time, Zachary Jenkins didn’t refute.

“The girl from Thompson’s family, I heard she’s recovering at the Leaford’s.”

Zachary Jenkins pursed his lips, his eyes flashing faintly.

“She and Jeremy Norman have set their engagement date on New Year, Mr. Leaford invited us, and I agreed.” Mr. Jenkins looked at him warningly, “Now she’s part of the Norman family. You better stay away.”

If it was just a possibility before, now it was certain. The engagement date had been announced, and anyone who tries to sabotage would openly offend both the Leaford family and the Norman family.

“Don’t mess around, you hear?!” Mr. Jenkins warned heavily.

Zachary Jenkins’ lips curled up slightly, not saying anything more, but the clenched fist in his hand betrayed his suppressed emotions.

Engaged. They were engaged after all.

He had regretted it ever since the day Jeremy Norman took her away.

When she came after him, why didn’t he appear and hold her tightly, telling her he was still alive?

If she didn’t like him, then that’s another matter, but he shouldn’t have given up without any effort like he did now.

“Grandfather, she should like me.”

Zachary Jenkins suddenly spoke.

Mr. Jenkins got stuck with his breath.

“She likes me. Why should I give up?” Zachary Jenkins’ deep eyes were like a bottomless pool, “Grandfather, I may not be able to do what you ask.”

He couldn’t do it. He couldn’t stay out of trouble.

Hearing this, Mr. Jenkins suddenly coughed, his face as cold as ice.

“Michael! She’s already someone else’s wife!”

“Your moral sense will be despised if you act this way!”

“Of all the women you could like, why do you have to like someone else’s fiancée!”

Mr. Jenkins tried to scold some sense into him.

Zachary Jenkins maintained a lazy and relaxed expression, but his gaze was firm and determined as always.

Mr. Jenkins finally gave up.

He knew that no one could stop Zachary Jenkins from doing what he wanted.

Given Zachary Jenkins’ current state, it was even possible for him to steal the bride.

At the entrance of Capital City Mall, Elizabeth Aitken was holding Molly Walker’s hand, her steps lively.

“For the engagement gifts, what kind do you like? And what kind of wedding gifts do you usually like? As long as you like them, the customers will like them too.”

“I don’t mind what the bridesmaid’s dress looks like, as long as you like it.” Elizabeth was happy thinking that Molly’s happy event was near.

Last time, Molly had helped her come to Capital City from Sunnydale, not only to find suitable work but also gradually walked out of Jake Leaford’s shadow.

Jake Leaford had been looking for her all the time. If it weren’t for Molly’s help to cover it up, her days wouldn’t have been so peaceful.

“Elizabeth, Jake Leaford called me yesterday.”

Elizabeth’s steps paused, the smile on her face quickly fading: “What did you say?”

“I said I didn’t know where you were, but he didn’t believe it.”

Elizabeth nodded calmly.

She would be naïve to think that Jake Leaford really couldn’t see her. In all of Orientopia, as long as he was diligent in his search, he would find her whereabouts.

“Molly, you’ve worked hard these days, and you don’t need to cover for me later on. There must be an outcome for me and him.” Elizabeth smiled indifferently.

Speak of the devil, and the devil appears. While still talking, a person walked towards them.

Jake Leaford.

It looked like he had been waiting here for her for a long time.

Elizabeth calmly met Jake Leaford’s gaze.

In a white suit, Jake Leaford looked handsome and refined, inadvertently drawing the attention of passersby.

Seeing Jake Leaford, Molly sighed.

This Jake Leaford was really persistent. Even though Elizabeth had tried to avoid him so much, he could still find her.

She turned around and went straight into a nearby gift shop, giving them space to talk.

Jake Leaford walked up to Elizabeth and smiled gently, “Shall we sit somewhere and talk?”

“There’s no need, I have something to do later.” Elizabeth frowned, “Mr. Leaford, we have nothing to do with each other anymore, and we never will. I thought I made myself clear.”

“I know you were forced to come to Capital City.” Jake Leaford cut to the chase, “My mother pressured you again.”

“No.” Elizabeth interrupted him, “I wanted to leave on my own. We were wrong from the start, and we can’t continue down this path. Jake Leaford, let me go and let yourself go.”

Jake Leaford looked at her blankly, his eyes gradually reddening.

Elizabeth turned away resolutely, and the moment she did, tears fell from the corners of her eyes.

Let go!

There’s no need to fantasize about impossible things.

She didn’t have the background and family like Molly. Even if they reluctantly stayed together, they wouldn’t be happy.

Give up, it’s best for both parties.
