Chapter 964 Forced Apology

Her time was running out, and she needed to plan ahead.

"We, the Williams family, are a prestigious family. I don't want any scandals that could affect not only us but also you," Mrs. Williams said coldly as she looked at Jenna. If Jenna refused to leave when the time came, Mrs. Williams wouldn't hesitate to use some means.

"It's best for you to part ways amicably. I don't think you want to offend me," Mrs. Williams continued, thinking that she had been kind enough towards Jenna already.

But if Jenna didn't know what was good for her...

Dealing with someone like Jenna was easy for her since she had so many weaknesses that didn't require much effort on her part.

"I understand, Mrs. Williams," Jenna replied with her head down and wanting nothing more than to replace a quiet corner where she could calm herself down.

As she passed by Mrs. Williams, however, the latter suddenly spoke up beside her.

"I used to have high hopes for you too until now when you're dirty and unworthy of being Rhys' wife." Her condescending tone made it clear that there was no place in their family for an impure daughter-in-law like Jenna who should stop having any ideas about Rhys or anything else altogether.

Jenna shuddered all over as tears welled up in her eyes while biting hard on her lip as though trying not to cry out loud from the pain inside of herself.

She once thought that happiness would be within reach; but now all those hopes were shattered into pieces like fragile glass underfoot.

All her struggling seemed pointless now; what did it matter?

Jenna felt lost and confused.

How did she even get back into this room? She couldn't remember anything until Mrs. Williams called out again from the living room where an eerie silence hung thickly around them all...

Mrs. Williams had a dark expression on her face and didn't say anything when she saw Jenna. She just threw her phone at her.

Jenna looked down and saw a very familiar face on the phone.

It was a video, or rather an accusation.

The person in the video was crying so hard that she couldn't catch their breath, making anyone who heard it cry and feel heartbroken. That person was Lorelai...

"I never thought that my good friend for so many years would end up like this. I really don't know why she did this!"

Lorelai sobbed as she spoke about her experience intermittently.

"I didn't mean to owe so much money either. Who wouldn't come across scumbags in their life? I just wanted her to help me out. Though she refused me, I wouldn't have said anything!"

Lorelai wiped away tears while the gossip reporter next to her immediately asked questions eagerly after hearing what she had said.

"So does this mean there's more to this story? According to what you've said, your relationship with Jenna is very good. When Jenna didn't have any money before, you would share half of your food with her?"

Lorelai nodded.

She seemed to become stronger in that moment and looked towards the camera direction confidently.

"I'm sure everyone knows about those photos circulating online about me now. I just want to tell everyone that those photos are all fake; all made by Jenna through photoshop! She did it first because she wanted to ruin me without letting others know how ungrateful she is! Here's some audio evidence as proof!"

Jenna felt like her head buzzing; everything went blank for a moment even though Lorelei's words kept coming out from speakers loud enough for everyone else around them to hear clearly..

It was all just one big misunderstanding; Jenna never asked anyone online to post such pictures nor did she ever think of ruining Lorelei's reputation..

Besides, 500 thousand dollars was simply too astronomical amount for someone like herself.

Jenna's hand trembled slightly as it became difficult holding onto the phone.

"I never thought you'd be capable of doing something like this, especially since I always believed you were smart." Mrs. Williams' tone carried disgust along with furrowed eyebrows showing how repulsed by everything going on right now..

She chose Jenna in the first place because she thought Jenna was honest, kind, easy to handle, and her family was in a difficult financial situation. That's why she felt sympathetic towards her.

But she didn't expect that Jenna would do such a thing behind her back!

"I didn't do it," Jenna immediately retorted. This wasn't something she did!

"If it wasn't you, then who else could have done it? The recording on the video is crystal clear."

Bad people never admit to doing bad things.

Mrs. Williams shook her head disappointedly and didn't want to argue with Jenna anymore about this matter. "I won't say anything else. The Williams family won't protect someone like you."

The recording on the video made this matter a foregone conclusion, even if Jenna was truly innocent, it would be hard for her to clear herself of suspicion.

"I haven't done anything like this and I don't need protection from the Williams family," said Jenna as she lifted up her head and looked straight at Mrs. Williams.

She knew that even though she was living under the roof of the Williams family, but still as an individual person with dignity.

"Don't worry about this matter, Mrs. Williams. I will take care of it myself."

Jenna gently put down her phone after taking one last glance at that video clip.

This matter had caused quite a stir online because it involved the Williams family.

Even without reading any comments online, she knew very well that people wouldn't have anything good to say about this incident.

"Take care of it?"

After hearing these words from Mrs. Williams, she sneered. To be honest, s he didn't look down upon Jenna but given such circumstances, Jenna simply couldn't clear herself off easily. The best way out was for direct apology which could calm down public anger online. Otherwise, this issue would only get worse over time.

"You better think carefully how you should apologize quickly without involving our company," pointed out Mrs. Williams bluntly.

"I've already asked our PR department at the William Group prepare everything. You just need to apologize, they will handle the public opinion."
