Chapter 846 Let Her Go
After hanging up on Jolene, Jenny immediately dialed James' number without any delay.
The call took a while to connect, and James' voice came through, saying," Jenny, why are
you calling so late? What's the matter?"
At James' question, Jenny didn't know what to say for a moment and fell into silence.
"Jenny?" James called her name, sounding worried.
Taking a deep breath, Jenny decided it was best to be direct instead of beating around the
bush. "James, Jolene just called me.'
James' face immediately darkened upon hearing that, though Jenny couldn't see it. "She
said she wants to go abroad with Rowena, but you won't let her."
"That's right. She had plotted against me, and we're not even yet. Of course I won't let her

wasn't worth getting emotional over a woman like Jolene.
Jenny frowned, her intuition telling her that this wasn't the real reason James was stopping
Jolene from leaving. "James, that's enough. She's my sister. Just let her go."
She didn't want the two of them to continue to be in each other's lives.
While Jolene thought James kept her around so that he could torment her, Jenny didn't see
it that way. It was clear to her that James had other feelings for Jolene, although he hadn't
realized it and thought it was pure hatred against his schemer.
Then again, Jenny could see it wasn't hatred. Based on how James and Jolene their recent
interactions, she was sure James no longer held any grudge against Jolene. The anger he
had felt toward her initially had dissipated overtime.
James was genuinely surprised that Jenny would plead on Jolene's behalf again. "Jenny, did
she threaten you again?'
"No. I think it's better for her to leave with Rowena. We won’t have to see each other in
the future, and it's better for us to act like she doesn't exist."
Jolene didn't matter to her anymore. She only spoke up because she didn't want James'
judgment to be clouded by his confusion.
James didn't say anything, clearly showing his reluctance.
At that moment, Jenny's heart skipped a beat. Could her speculation have come true? Had
James fallen for Jolene?
Although it was easy for two people to develop feelings when they cohabited and kept
seeing each other day in and day out, Jenny had believed that based on James' dislike
toward Jolene, it was impossible for any feelings to develop. However, reality was proving
her wrong.
"James, you don't want to let her go?" Jenny’s tone changed slightly, becoming stern.
James was equally alarmed, wondering what got into him. Why couldn't he let Jolene leave
even after Jenny had spoken up?
He wasn't a fool, and he had already noticed that something was off. He quickly

not. The reason I don't want her to leave is that I want to avenge you. After all, she treated
you so badly before."
"That's all in the past. Let her go," Jenny said.
"Fine. Since you've said so, I naturally have no reason to refuse," James agreed and then
hung up the phone.
Jenny breathed a sigh of relief on the other end of the phone. If James gave his word, he
would see it through. Jenny thought maybe she was just being too sensitive.
After hanging up the call, James got out of his study and walked straight to Jolene's room.
He kicked the door forcefully and shouted, "Jolene! Come out this instance!"
"W-what do you want?" Hearing the commotion outside, Jolene dared not come out. She
cowered in her room, trembling in fear.
"Open the door!" James bellowed angrily, his anger level visibly rising every second.
