Chapter 759
Jennifer paused when she got to the part about what they had offered her.
Hearing that money had been involved, Stella asked, “How much?”
“One hundred.”
“One million?”
Jennifer let out a bitter laugh.
“No. One hundred dollars.”
Stella went still.
“One hundred dollars?”
Was that supposed to be a joke?
“It’s ridiculous, right?” Jennifer said. “I thought so too. Apparently, I’m worth a hundred dollars.”
Maybe she had heard too many absurdly large numbers in the past.
But being offered a hundred dollars by the Redson family had still shocked her.
And once the shock wore off, she understood exactly what it was.
They were humiliating her.
Stella’s expression darkened.
“They were insulting you.”
“Yeah. I know. You think I don’t know that?”
Anyone would understand what it meant to be offered a hundred dollars to walk away.
“Does Leon know?”
“The Redsons were out of line,” Stella said. “But from what I saw of them before, it does sound like their style.”
“I haven’t told him.”
Stella fell silent.
Something this serious, and Jennifer had not told Leon?
They were already humiliating her like this. What would happen later?
“So don’t tell me you still want to stay with Leon after this.”
Jennifer said nothing
Would she keep going with Leon?
Before Jennifer could answer, Stella continued
“You saw what happe ed between Evan and me. When his family oppose something, forcing the relationship to continue rarely leads anywhere good
Jennifer went quiet.
It was true.
Back when Stella had been treated that way by the Wright family, Jennifer had always called her foolish.
In Jennifer’s eyes, Stella was capable.
She could make money and build a life for herself.
She never needed to put up with that kind of humiliation.
Without Evan, Stella could still have lived well.
Jennifer had never understood why Stella stayed in the Wright family for so long.
But now that it was happening to her…
Jennifer took a slow breath.
“I think I finally understand why you stayed.”
“Does that mean you’re going to make the same mistake?” Stella asked.
She had only woken up after learning the hard way.
Did Jennifer have to go through the same kind of pain before she could walk away too?
Jennifer said nothing.
Stella continued, “You’ve seen it. Making that mistake didn’t lead me anywhere good.”
“Evan was good to me once too.”
Jennifer went quiet again.
That made her even more afraid.
Before meeting the Redson elders, she had already begun having doubts.
Now, hearing Stella say this, she wanted to retreat completely.
Stella was right.
Evan had been good to her once.
Truly good.
But what did that matter in the end?
