Impulsive Vow to an Enigmatic Husband (END) novel Chapter 1411

Hearing Jarvis say that, Hannah let out a sigh of relief, "I'll send you the address right now. I'm about to meet Daniela in ten minutes. I figure I can keep her busy during the time, so you've got to get here in twenty or I'll be toast."
Jarvis said, "If I say I'll be there, then I'll be on the dot."
Hannah said, "My knight in shining armor, all my hopes are riding on you."
Jarvis said, "Don't worry."
Getting a solid confirmation from Jarvis, Hannah knew he would come. But what she didn't expect was what Jarvis would say in front of Daniela. Everyone thought she wasn't good enough for Steven, they all called her shameless, and even she herself thought she had sold herself to get what she had now.
Yet, there was this one guy, who defended her with a firm voice. He told her that her relationship with Steven was consensual, that no one was superior or inferior. For a moment, her image of Jarvis seemed even greater.
Daniela's face twisted with rage at Jarvis's words, "Jarvis, you're a man. Do you know what you're saying?"
Jarvis said, "What does being a man have to do with it? You're a woman. Does that mean you can bully a girl?"
Daniela was furious, "You!"
Jarvis continued, "Guys can play the field, and you'd say they're just having fun. But if a woman does something, you'd call her cheap and shameless. Wake up, it's not the dark ages anymore."
Daniela said, "This woman seduced Steven, using her body to get things she never could have had. Isn't that cheap and shameless?"
Jarvis said, "If you want to go there, let's get one thing straight. When my girlfriend, Hannah, was with Steven, he was single, right?"
Daniela was speechless. Steven was indeed single at that time. In fact, he had always been single before he met Hannah. He never admitted to the arranged marriage that his and her parents had set up. He even told her early on that he couldn't marry her, and he only had familial feelings for her.
After realizing that she had no hope, she got herself a boyfriend and declared that she didn't need Steven or their arranged marriage. Because she spread false news, and Steven didn't refute it, the rumor became more real, so much so that she herself started to believe that she was the woman Steven couldn't get.
Jarvis continued, "Steven was single and so was Hannah, so what's wrong with them choosing to be together? The problem lies with you people and your outdated thinking. In our modern society, we emphasize equality among all individuals, between men and women. Women can also be independent. Why should they bear such heavy responsibility for the same thing?"
In Daniela's mind, Jarvis was not a talkative person. His lengthy speech today was exhausting to her; she didn't want to hear him go on, "I don't want to argue with you anymore. Brant, let's go."
She immediately got up and Brant quickly followed, "Miss, if we don't take action against Hannah today, when Steven comes back, we won't have a chance. As long as Hannah's around, Steven's heart will never be fully yours."
Daniela glared at him, "You think I don't want to take action? Now Jarvis wants to protect her."
Brant didn't take Jarvis seriously, "Miss, what's the big deal if Jarvis wants to protect her? As long as we act first and deal with Hannah, would the Alexander family really turn against us over an actress?"
Daniela stopped in her tracks. Seeing that she was wavering, Brant continued, "Miss, Steven's not here, and Hannah can't reach him. This is our only chance. If we don't act against Hannah now, when Steven comes back and finds out the truth, he might tighten his protection of her, or even take action against us. It'll be a lot harder to deal with Hannah then."
Daniela turned to look at the closed door, "This is my only chance. I have to seize it."
Before, she tried to take action against Hannah, but was stopped by Steven before she could start. This time, she decided to make her move while Steven was in Europe for a meeting.
