The substitute bride is a mute novel Chapter 26

Jenna was over the moon after returning from the Reid residence. As soon she entered the house, Matthew stopped her.

"Jenna, where have you been?" She hadn't noticed her father sitting on the sofa when entering, so she jumped in surprise.

"I-I went to the Reid residence. Didn't you want me to get close to Clark?"

"Nonsense!" Matthew slammed the table and stood up abruptly, saying, "I did ask you to get close to the Reids, but did I ask you to cause any trouble? What's the deal with the news?"

Feeling guilty, she replied, "What news? I-I have no idea."

"Stop pretending," he scolded, his expression filled with anger. "You're my daughter. I'd never let you marry someone like Clark Reid.

"You haven't seen his methods, so you don't know how treacherous he is." Having had multiple encounters with Clark, Matthew knew well what kind of person he was.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have risked offending him and married Judy off to him.

However, Jenna didn't think so.

Seeing Matthew's expression softened slightly, she immediately took advantage of the situation and held his arm while saying coquettishly, "Dad, don't worry. Clark treats me really well.

"Today, he even stood up for me against Judy. No matter what I say, he believes me. In my opinion, Judy will not be useful staying in the Reid family."

Exaggeratedly, Jenna told him about what happened at the Reid residence. Matthew became more uneasy as he listened.

"Jenna, listen to me. He's not a simple-minded person. Do you think he couldn't see through your tricks?"

As someone experienced in the business world, he had seen all kinds of cruelty. Could he be easily played by a woman?

"Oh, Dad, just rest assured. I promise that if I marry into the Reid family, Clark will definitely help our family business."

"Jenna Blake!" shouted Matthew, his expression changing instantly into a stern look.

He reprimanded, "Let me tell you for the last time, this will never happen. If you insist on getting involved, I will send you abroad to continue your studies, and you can forget all about Dominic too."
