Chapter 023 She Might Give Up After Heartbreaking
And it’s the same for Mr. Smith’s father who also left his excellent wife alone and went outside to find another
woman.
But the Old Smith treated Old Mrs. Smith well. Since they were married, they respected and loved each other very much. They never quarreled because Old Mr. Smith always gave way to Old Mrs. Smith in everything. So even if the Old Mrs. Smith had passed away for so long, the Old Smith always loved her and had never
remarried, only her a wife.
More than ten minutes have passed.
Jenny made several phone calls to Barret.
But the last call was answered by Laura.
What’s happened?
Wasn’t he already on his way back?
Why was the phone answered by Laura?
Was he going to bring Laura to Grandpa’s birthday?
Jenny was in turmoil and she suddenly didn’t know what to do with herself?
Did he mean that he didn’t want to wait anymore and he was going to introduce Laura to everyone by bringing
her here?
What about her?
What position did he put her in?
Jenny’s face turned pale instantly, and with a snap, the phone fell from her hand.
Seeing this, Kay hurriedly picked it up, “Mrs. Smith, what’s wrong? You look pale. Did Mr. Smith say something?”
Jenny nodded blankly, “No. Excuse me, I’ll go to the bathroom.”
Standing by the sink, Jenny suddenly looked like she was going crazy, desperately pouring cool water to wash
her face.
After a long time, when Jenny’s face was so cold and her hands were turned red with cold, Jenny lifted her head,
ruffled her hair, and looked at herself in the mirror.
Jenny was wearing the most gorgeous and beautiful clothes, the most gentle and beautiful makeup, with the
most expensive jewelry and necklaces, but at this moment, she felt like a clown, so wretched.
She had promised that she would mention the divorce to his grandpa tomorrow as soon as his grandpa’s
birthday was over.
Just half a day left.
He couldn’t even wait for half a day.
Seeing that Jenny took a little longer to go to the bathroom and the water kept running inside, Kay was afraid that something had happened to Jenny and knocked worriedly on the door outside, “Mrs. Smith, are you ready?”
Not hearing Jenny’s answer, Kay got a little anxious and shouted again, “Mrs. Smith…”
At that moment, Jenny opened the door and looked at Kay with a gentle smile, “I’m ready. Let’s go!”
“Are we waiting for Mr. Smith?”
Jenny shook her head, “No, he’ll be back soon.”
Besides, he didn’t need her to wait anymore.
In the bathroom, Jenny thought many times about whether she would go to the banquet or not.
If she didn’t want to go there, she could refuse, but she came downstairs anyway.
One reason was that she did not want to disappoint her grandpa and leave him with regrets on his birthday; as
for another reason.
By going, when Barret introduced Laura in front of everyone and denied Jenny’s existence, she might give up
completely.
She could only give up completely if she was refused officially and was heartbroken.
When Jenny went down, Grandpa was already seated and the table was basically full of guests, with only two
empty seats.
Jenny took a glance and found that the remaining seats were for her and Barret.
It seemed that Barret had not yet arrived.
Seeing Jenny, Grandpa took her hand happily. “Jenny, come on, sit next to me.” Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
“Okay, grandpa.”
Jenny nodded obediently and sat down next to Grandpa Smith.
At this time, Grandpa Smith saw the empty seat beside Jenny and immediately frowned unhappily and asked,
“Where is Barret? What the hell is he doing?”
Jenny smiled and tugged on Grandpa Smith’s arm, smiling sweetly, “Grandpa, you really wrong my husband.
Something urgent happens to the company and he has to deal with it. We all know that Grandpa’s birthday is definitely the most important thing, but the company’s your life’s work. If there’s something wrong with the
company, you won’t be happy.”
After Jenny finished speaking, Grandpa Smith looked much better.
“You are a sweet-talker and Barret can piss me off when he speaks.”
Across the round table, when Lucy saw Jenny talking to Grandpa Smith and making him smile widely, she was
very angry. Plus, when she realized that Jenny was the girl being pushed into the swimming pool by her, she
flew into a rage.
Gemma tugged on Lucy’s clothes, “Lucy, who is she? I’ve never seen her before. Why does she sit next to your
grandpa?”
“Look at you, sitting so far away from your grandpa, as stupid as a pig. That seat is close to your grandpa and
you can talk to him, so good. You don’t sit there, but let an outsider take advantage of It.”
Lucy was so aggrieved, “Mom, don’t talk nonsense. How do you know I didn’t go to that seat?”
“What do you mean?” Gemma obviously sensed that something was wrong.
“As soon as I knew where Grandpa would sit, I immediately sat down next to his seat. But Grandpa kicked me
away as soon as he came, saying that it’s someone else’s seat and letting me sit here.” “You’re stupid. Isn’t there another seat next to your grandpa?”
Gemma finished and looked intently at the seat on the other side of Grandpa Smith.
Lucy beamed and said impatiently, “Mom, you don’t know anything. That’s Barret’s seat. Who dares to sit
there?”
“Speaking of Barret, why isn’t he here yet? He’s late for his grandpa’s birthday and really shows no respect for
his elder.”
Before Lucy could finish her sentence, Moore ran over happily, “Mr. Smith is back.”
The next moment, Barret’s handsome figure appeared at the entrance to the hall. He was dressed in his morning.
black suit, made his way through all the tables, finally walked over to Grandpa, and took the seat to his left.
Jenny froze.
Why did he come back alone?
Hadn’t he brought Laura with him?
As soon as Barret arrived, lunch was served.
Although grandpa always scolded Barret on the surface every time, he was still very favorable to him in fact. Plus, as the only grandson approved by him, grandpa definitely favored him.
Jenny was eating absentmindedly at the table, constantly thinking in mind, “Where is Laura? Didn’t they come. together? Or did Barret want to wait until the banquet was over and the guests had left before calling her out?” The phone rang. Jenny looked at it and it was a text message from Barret, “Why don’t you eat properly? What
are you thinking about?”
Thinking about Laura.” Jenny messaged back.
Barret, “?”
