Chapter 598 What on Earth Were You Thinking?
The staffs respect for Jenny only increased upon hearing that. Jenny had a powerful background, and it took a truly selfless person to be able to not care about it all.
After dinner, Jenny brought them out for karaoke before finally going back home. It was already late when she reached Walter Castle.
Jolene spotted her in the doorway and tucked herself beside her mother, murmuring, “Wonder what shady business she’s been up to, coming home so late.”
“You’re young, Jenny, so we understand if you want to have some fun after hours. But you still need to watch yourself. The public now knows you’re Graham’s daughter, after all,” Rowena cautioned, seemingly kind.
Jenny spotted Graham sitting beside the mother and daughter too. “He must’ve stayed up to wait for me,’ Jenny thought.
“I had dinner with friends at work, Dad. Got caught up in traffic. You don’t need to wait for me to come back from now on. I can handle myself,” she explained.
“Dinner.’ Graham nodded. “Already making friends on your first day, hm? Not bad.’
Jolene instantly piped in, “I had dinner with my work friends too, Dad.’
Graham was about to give equal praise when Jenny responded, “Yeah, she did. We even ate dinner at the same restaurant.” Her smile then turned into a sneer.
“So why didn’t you tell Dad I was having dinner? Don’t you know he has to get to bed early so he can be well-rested for work? What on Earth were you thinking, Jolene?”
Jolene gaped silently like a fish, having no answer to that question. Not even after a whole minute.
Graham’s expression darkened. He had asked Jolene earlier where her sister was, but she claimed she didn’t know.
“Jolene didn’t expect you to be out so late, Jenny. She stayed up to wait for you to come back, too,” Rowena explained, much to Jenny’s irritation. eyes. She knew what this half-sister of hers was truly like.”
Really? So she didn’t stay up just to watch Dad reprimand me.”Graham hurriedly interfered, not wanting to see his daughters fight again.” Why don’t we all get some rest? You too, Jenny.” He then turned to Jolene, eyes narrowing. ‘As for you…this better not happen again.”
With that, he got up and went to his room.
Jenny scoffed, seeing Graham’s intention clear as day. He obviously couldn’t stand to see Jolene getting scolded.
She went to her room, leaving Rowena and Jolene in the living room. Their expressions were as gray as their mood.
“Jenny is really crossing the line!” Rowena gritted out. That woman hadn’t stopped or slowed even once since she arrived.
“You need to do something, Mom,” Jolene whined. “Or she’s just going to keep humiliating me!”
“I’ve already arranged something. Didn’t I tell you to avoid her?” Rowena huffed.
She had gotten more careful after the last time.
“Why does she always win? It’s not fair!” Jolene complained. If only she werenovelbin
Jenny’s match, she’d have strangled her to death by now.
Rowena caressed her daughter’s head. “Don’t rush. This city is ours, remember?She won't win forever here.
“If Jenny wants to start from the bottom, we’ll make sure she never has any results to show for it. When everyone sees how useless she is, she’ll lose their support.”
Jolene nodded upon hearing this, her hatred dissipating. She knew what she had to do now.
