Chapter 130
Jenson’s expression turned ice–cold in an instant the second Seline brought up Suzanne. He snapped, “You have the nerve to bring her uph
Seline felt like she’d been punched in the gut. What just happened? Why was he yelling at her?
Her eyes welled up immediately, her voice trembling with hurt. “Jenson, 1-“But before she could even finish, her throat tightened with a sob. Usually, the moment she teared up, Jenson would soften and coax her like he always did. But not today.
Today, her crying only made him more imitated
His frustration boiled over as he demanded, “Why did you lie to me about Suzanne not being Jane?”
If it weren’t for Seline’s lies, things wouldn’t have escalated between him and Suzanne the way they did.
Seline was caught off guard by the sudden accusation. What was Jenson talking about?
Before she could gather her thoughts, Jenson’s voice cut through the silence again. It was even colder this time. “Seline, I’m so disappointed in you.”
He had once thought she was useful. Now, it was clear–she was nothing but a liability.
Panic surged through Seline. She hurried to explain. “Jenson, what are you saying? don’t understand. Did I do something wrong?
Her voice trembled as she cried harder. There was no way she could let jenson hate her. He was her only ticket into the Lambert family.
“Jenson, if I did something wrong, just tell me, okay? I’ll fix it. Flease, don’t be mad at me… You’re scaring me..” Her voice was a perfect mix of pleading and vulnerability, the kind that would make anyone want to protect her
But not Jenson—not anymore. He once thought she was delicate and innocent, but now, be only felt exhausted and disgusted by her.
His jaw tightened as he said, “Fine. Since you insist, let me spell it out for you.”
The very thought of it made his chest tighten with anger. He took a deep breath before continuing, “I can into Jane today. The real Jane.”
Jenson’s mind flashed back to Suzanne’s mocking tone and the way Shane had insulted him right to his face. They hadn’t said it outright, but he had heard them cuss him out for being a blinddol
row.
Seline’s face was drained of color. She thought she must’ve misheard it. But then, Jenson’s voice came again like a thunderclap.
