The Wife He Dumped, The Queen She Returned As novel Chapter 378

Wyatt immediately chimed in. "Exactly! You know Jenna cut ties with her family after moving abroad, their relationship was already bad. Now some cousin pops up out of nowhere—what could that possibly have to do with her?"

"As for paying him off, can you really trust a kid's words? Who knows who put him up to it, intentionally throwing dirty water on Jenna!"

The two of them tag-teamed him, speaking while carefully observing Preston's expression.

In the past, the person Preston cared about most was Jenna.

Even though he never said anything to anyone's face, anyone with eyes could see his feelings for Jenna.

You could even say that if Jenna hadn't insisted on going abroad, the position of Mrs. Hayes would definitely be hers right now. Where did Chloe fit into any of this?

Preston set down his glass.

He leaned back into the sofa, picked up his phone, casually typed a few words, and hit send.

Seeing this, Mason breathed a sigh of relief and struck while the iron was hot. "Preston, you know Jenna's personality better than anyone. She's so straightforward, she's the easiest target for a setup. If you don't protect her, who will?"

Wyatt quickly agreed. "Right, since you both care about each other, why bother..."

He didn't get to finish.

The private room door was pushed open.

A few men in black suits walked in.

Before Mason and Wyatt could react, they were grabbed by the arms and dragged straight out.

"Hey, hey, hey! What are you doing—"

They struggled, looking back at Preston.

Preston lowered his eyes, slowly pouring himself another glass of liquor.

From start to finish, he didn't give them a single glance.

The door closed, and it was finally quiet.

But this quiet carried an indescribable chill.

Staring at the amber liquid in his glass, Preston suddenly felt profoundly annoyed.

He set the glass down, picked up his phone, and dialed a number.

It rang for a long time before connecting. The voice was groggy, carrying the weariness of someone woken from their dreams.

"Mr. Hayes... it's so late, do you need something?"

"Is my wife back?"

Wendy Mason froze for a few seconds, yawning as she said, "What? Hasn't she not been back at all... Why would she suddenly come back?"
