The closer we got to the Jennings family home, the more anxious I felt inside. My nerves were getting tighter
with every mile.
It was as if fate itself was an invisible hand, shovingtoward a future | couldn't see.

The Jennings family estate was protected by layers of guard posts, each one heavily manned.

As soon as we stepped into the living room, Fiona and Ryan were there, sipping coffee. It looked like they'd been
summoned too, but neither of them expected that the person they were waiting for would be me.
Fiona’s face fell the moment she saw me.
Ryan’s grip on his coffee cup grew tighter with every second, his brooding, dark eyes fixed onin utter
disbelief.
Edward glanced at them coolly and asked, “Where's your grandfather?”
“Upstairs,” Ryan replied, his eyes locked on me. “Why'd you bring her here?”
| met Ryan's gaze, my brow furrowing. ‘Ryan’s look made it obvious he didn’t wanthere,’ | thought.
Fiona, meanwhile, looked like she was about to enjoy a show. She flashed a fake smile and said, “Isn’t this Ms.
Murphy? What brings you to the Jennings family estate? Ryan, don’t tellGrandpa wanted us to meet her? Is
she... really going to end up with Uncle Ryan?”
Ryan's eyes grew cold as he gave Fiona a frosty glare.
Fiona instantly shut up, sank back into the couch, and pressed her lips together, silent.
Upstairs, Jeffrey Jennings was slowly making his way down, step by step, with the help of a man who looked like
the butler.
“Dad,” Edward called out, moving forward.
“Grandpa!” Ryan called, right after.
Fiona quickly walked over to the stairs, and as soon as Jeffrey reached the bottom, she reached out to steady
him. “Grandpa, slow down.”
Jeffrey smiled, clearly pleased with Fiona’s thoughtfulness. “Alright, everyone's here.”

Ryan's face went stone cold, his fists clenched tight. His voice was low and heavy as he asked, “Grandpa, why
did you call all of us here? What do you want to say?”
Jeffrey turned to me, clearly annoyed. “Didn't | tell you to cby yourself? Why can’t you follow instructions?”
My heart skipped a beat.
Edward's face grew serious, his tone firm. “Dad, if you have something to say to Victoria, you can tell me. You're
going to scare her.”
“Is she really that timid?” Jeffrey snorted. “I think she’s got enough guts to take on the whole world.”
| flinched, quickly stepping forward. “Mr. Jennings, | think you might have the wrong idea about me.”
Ryan immediately spoke up. “Grandpa, she really is timid. You'll scare her.”
| shot Ryan a quick look-didn’t expect him to speak up for me.
Fiona looked like a thundercloud, shootinga hateful glare.
| ignored her glare, just wanting to know what was really happening here.
Jeffrey Jennings’s face clouded over. “Ms. Murphy, how did you end up with Edward? Last twe had dinner,
you were still with Ryan. Stringing both uncle and nephew along-does that give you skind of satisfaction?”
| blanched, my voice trembling as | rushed to explain, “No, I... that’s not—"
“Dad, don’t blher. | was the one who went after her,” Edward said, stepping forward and putting himself
betweenand Jeffrey, his tall frcompletely blocking that sharp, commanding stare.
| finally managed to catch my breath.
“So you're the real shameless one,” Jeffrey barked, his eyes blazing as he glared at Edward. “Out of all the
women in the world, you had to pick her? Why her, of all people?”
