Chapter 700 I Must Endure It
Jenny put down her cutlery and looked at Jolene with a sympathetic look." Have you ever
considered the possibility that he abhors you?"
"No! That's impossible! It must be you!" Jolene refused to admit it.
Jenny shook her head, thinking that Jolene was hopeless, and got up to leave. Before she
left, she reminded Jolene, "Remember to go back early. If you go back late and upset
James, you won't be able to return to Walter Castle, and you won't be able to stay with the
Windsors as well."
With that, Jenny left, ignoring Jolene's angry shouts behind her.
Jolene was furious and helpless. She cursed Jenny vehemently in the dining room, but
what good would that do? Anyone who saw her behaving like that wouldn't think much of
her. Even Rowena, who was sitting beside her, looked indifferent.
Rowena dismissed the servants and let Jolene curse until she was out of breath before
asking, "Do you feel better now?"

"Perhaps I've protected you too well all these years, which has made you incapable of
controlling yourself now. You can't even solve problems independently."
Rowena regretted how she raised Jolene. Since Jolene was her only daughter, she
pampered her since childhood, thinking it would be good for her daughter. But now she
realized that maybe letting Jolene suffer a little when she was young would have been
better for her growth.
There was no turning back time. What she could do now was let Jolene grow up and make
her understand that no one could handle everything for her forever.
Jolene was still upset, but fortunately, she didn't cry anymore. "Mom, I understand what
you mean, but...James is deliberately tormenting me."
"Didn't I warn you about this before you went over? And how did you respond at that
time?" Rowena's expression became cold. She had reminded Jolene last night, but she
didn't listen and even mocked her.
Jolene pursed her lips and remained silent.
At the end of the day, Jolene was still her daughter, so Rowena couldn't bear to see her
suffer too much. She reached out and patted her shoulder." Learn to grow up. It's just a
little suffering. It's okay."
"Mom..." Jolene was unwilling. She had the feeling that there were even worse things
waiting for her.
"If you don't want to do that, I'll go to the Windsors and ask them to cancel the
engagement." Rowena looked at her indifferently.
Upon hearing this, Jolene hesitated.
Although James had been tormenting her, she didn't want to cancel the engagement. Now
that her relationship with James was made known to everyone, she most probably
wouldn't be able to marry someone better if their engagement was canceled. Even
Brandon wouldn't want to marry her.
If she couldn't get married to anyone...

The thought of this made her shake her head immediately. "No, I don't want to cancel the
engagement."
No matter what, even if James treated her badly after she married him, she could still be
the wife of the head of the Windsor family and have a higher status than Jenny.
"Since you're unwilling, then just bear with it." Rowena sighed with relief. She was really
afraid that Jolene would insist on canceling the
engagement. If that happened, even she would be disappointed in her daughter.
Jolene gritted her teeth and nodded. "Mom, please help me convince James to marry me. I
want to get married as soon as possible."
She thought maybe James wouldn't treat her that way after they married. If he needed
time to unwind now, she would let him do so. After he was done venting his
dissatisfaction, they would still be husband and wife.
"Okay, I'll take care of this matter for you." Rowena agreed, thinking it would be best for
them to get married as soon as possible, given the current situation.
On the one hand, things might change if they were delayed; on the other hand, she
believed James would change his mind after officially marrying Jolene and not torture her
as he did now.
After mother and daughter agreed on what to do, Jolene left Walter Castle.
She told herself that no matter the challenges, she had to endure them.
