Upstairs, Pippa said to Jennifer, "If you don't go, Madam Aubree will have them bring the food here and eat with you." Pippa had made her point pretty clear. Jennifer watched her leaving and thought she did need to go downstairs no matter what.
Her phone rang when she was about to leave the research room.
She took out the phone, checked the screen, and picked it up, "Hello?" "We've arrived. We are now at a beautiful manor. And the kids are fine. They are just excited to be here." Ivan told her their situation the second he got off his private plane.
Jennifer said with a smile in a soft voice, "That's nice. Have fun. | gotta have dinner." "Well, okay. I'll call you tonight. We haven't settled down yet." "Okay." Ivan then hung up the phone.
Jennifer put away her phone and went downstairs.

Aubree sat straight in a white chair and glowered at the woman walking toward her with a black mask on.
Jennifer then stopped her steps and was about to say something when Aubree said coldly, "Remove your mask!" Meeting her eyes, Jennifer was frightened.
"Quick!" Aubree slammed the table hard and stood up all at once which startled everyone.
Jennifer was dumbfounded as she was worried that she had gotten caught.
Three seconds later, Jennifer was ready so she removed her mask under the gaze of Aubree.
Aubree frowned at Jennifer's stunning face and her stare got colder.
There seemed to be a pause in tand even Pippa didn't know what to do next.
Aubree walked toward Jennifer step by step and stopped in front of her.
Clap! Jennifer's face was slapped so hard that her ears were buzzing and her vision blurred for a moment.
And then half of her face started to swollen and hurt.
Pippa standing aside was astonished.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWhy did Madam Aubree slap her?! Jennifer tried so hard to hold back her anger and reminded herself that Aubree was Ivan's mother and her kids' grandma so she had to show srespect.
So she slowly turned around and looked at Aubree.
Jennifer saw the contempt and rage in her eyes through that half mask.
"How dare you trickand my son!" Aubree's eyes were flaming with murderous intent, "How long are you gonna pretend?" Jennifer then realized what was this all about and apologized for her lying to Aubree, "I'm sorry." Aubree spoke immediately without giving her any chance to explain, "You've had sex with Doctor Watson, haven't you? Alfie and Diana are his, right? Otherwise, why would he lie with you?" "What are you talking about?" Jennifer frowned and tried to explain, "Doctor Watson..." "You're still trying to lie to me?" Aubree was furious, "A bumpkin from the counrty tried to pretend to be the famous pharmacist Darcie? What do you guys want?" "They are Rowan's kids, right?" "And the DNA test is fake?" Hearing her words, Jennifer was speechless facing such a maniac, but she thought it was not the tto explain.
Having tasted the blood in her mouth, Jennifer wiped her lips with her hand and found that it was bleeding.
"If Catherine didn't telltoday, the whole Marsh family would've been hollowed out by you and Rowan Watson!" Aubree yelled at her, "What are you doing this for? For money?" Jennifer had never heard anyone talking to her with so much hatred and fury.
"He makes the medication and you get the credit? How could you? Do you really think we are that stupid?" Pippa hurriedly held Aubree as she was worried that she would hit Jennifer again.
Aubree was so enraged that her body was trembling violently and her breathing was unstable, "Jennifer Brooks!" Jennifer was just staring at her without trying to defend herself, because she knew that it wasn't the tto explain.
"Get out!" Aubree pointed at the gate, "Get out now! | don't wanna see you anymore!"
