The Wife He Dumped, The Queen She Returned As novel Chapter 161

Jenna suddenly picked up her bag from the chair beside her and smiled brightly.

"Mr. Shaw, it's too crowded over there. Come sit with me!"

Quentin didn't even glance at her. His long, elegant fingers gripped his fork, transferring a piece of food to Chloe's plate.

Jenna's smile froze, humiliation washing over her.

She glared resentfully at Chloe. Just as she was about to speak, Preston cut in.

"Jenna."

He placed a slice of salmon sashimi on her plate. "Eat first."

"Wow, thank you! You're so sweet to me!"

Jenna's voice was exaggeratedly loud as she instinctively glanced at Chloe.

Unfortunately, Chloe was too busy talking to Quentin to even notice.

Jenna bit into the salmon with unnecessary force.

Preston's expression remained dark and unreadable.

The others at the table racked their brains for conversation topics, trying every trick in the book to suck up to Chloe.

"Are you an actress, Ms. Reed? You're even more beautiful than a movie star!"

"Ms. Reed, I have a few VIP cards for a top-tier luxury spa. I'd be honored if you'd accept them."

"Ms. Reed carries herself with such calm elegance. You can tell at a glance she's meant for great things."

Chloe quietly ate her meal, her movements graceful and relaxed. From start to finish, she didn't acknowledge a single person.

Right then, Quentin spoke up in a cool tone.

"It's best to keep quiet while eating."

As soon as the words left his mouth, everyone awkwardly snapped their mouths shut.

The rest of the meal passed in a tense, cautious atmosphere.

After dinner, Jenna used the excuse of going to the restroom to chase after Quentin.

"Mr. Shaw! Mr. Shaw, wait!"
