Chapter 703 Last Wish
After Jennifer left the restaurant, she did not immediately head back to her office. Instead, she simply chose to walk around while carrying her designer bag. She stared at the cars bustling about on the main road as she seemed a little dazed.
A car suddenly stopped in front of her. The window was wound down to reveal Amelia’s face.
“What a coincidence, Ms. Larson. Would you like a ride?” Amelia offered politely.
Jennifer stared at the woman in the car as she started to feel conflicted. Every single tragedy that had been brought upon her was caused by Amelia.
Therefore, she instantly rejected, “No need for that.”
Upon speaking, she continued walking ahead.
Amelia shut the window and turned to look at Jolin, who was driving. “I’ll get out for a moment.”
“Mrs. Clinton, it’s obvious that she doesn’t like you. There’s no need for you to be so friendly to a person who wants nothing to do with you,” Jolin replied as he looked at Jennifer’s silhouette through the car windows.
“Drive the car and meet me at the front. I just want to chat with her for a while.” Dismissing Jolin’s advice, Amelia opened the door and got out of the vehicle. Having no other choice, Jolin could only drive next to her at the speed of a snail. He was afraid that Jennifer would harm Amelia, who only had good intentions. If that were to happen, she would make sure that Jennifer would not be let off the hook that easily.
Amelia chased after Jennifer. “Ms. Larson, I would like to chat with you. Is that all right?”
Jennifer turned around and stared at Amelia frostily. With a sneer, she replied, “I don’t think you and I have much to talk about, Amelia.”
“I just want to talk to you about Carter. Are you free right now?”
“Are you really that pretentious, Amelia? Because of his love for you, Carter basically ignored me during the two years that I spent pursuing him. He did not even spare me a glance. I don’t think there is anything to talk about when it comes to Carter. Or are you trying to boast about the number of men who are head over heels for you?” Jennifer taunted mockingly.
Amelia frowned. It seemed that Jennifer was very emotional at that moment. She was probably deeply affected by that tape and that was why Amelia could feel the annoyance radiating off Jennifer’s being.
“Please calm down. Ms. Larson. I just want to tell you that Carter cares about you. He even talked to me about you. I can tell that whatever he did toward you was not intentional. Therefore, I was wondering if you could give him another chance. After all, it’s always saddening to see two people, who were made for each other, splitting ways,” Amelia advised.
Jennifer reacted like she had heard an incredibly insulting joke. “You said that he cares about me? I think you should practice your script before trying to lie to me, Amelia. How would you, an outsider, know about what Carter thinks of me?”
Amelia pursed her lips.
“Stop acting like you genuinely care, Amelia. I don’t need an outsider like you to comment on my love life. Both of us were never friends and never will be. Don’t you know how much I hate you?” Jennifer gritted her teeth as she glared at Amelia with such ferocity.
Amelia was taken aback.
She was smart enough to notice the hatred oozing out of Jennifer’s eyes.
Does she really hate me so much?
“Ms. Larson, we—”
“Enough! There’s nothing left to say between us, Amelia. I will definitely get revenge one day, be it for my mother’s sickness or my tarnished reputation. I will make sure to return it tenfold. Just wait and see. I’ll be there to witness your tragic downfall,” Jennifer spat.
Upon speaking, she turned around and walked with her head held high.
Amelia frowned as she stared at Jennifer’s disappearing figure. She then sighed. It seemed that Jennifer really hated her.
The reason why she schemed against Jennifer and June was that they had plotted her downfall first. If it were not for them, Amelia and Oscar would not have retaliated. She was not a saint, after all. She would not be able to go on with life with a smile after knowing that someone was out to get her.
Amelia entered the car, and Jolin looked at her with a frown. “Shall I teach her a lesson, Mrs. Clinton?”
“There’s no need for that. She didn’t do anything to me.”
Jolin’s mouth twitched, but she did not say anything.
She drove Amelia back to the office, and the latter pushed the recent encounter to the back of her mind and focused on her work.
It was six in the evening when Amelia was packing her things. Just as she was about to get off work, she received a call. It was from the relatives of the young child who donated his cornea to Amelia. They had come all the way from Anglandur just to meet with her.
She naturally agreed to that.
