Ginny left, and for some reason, her back still looked particularly arrogant Rachel looked at the steaming tea in front of her and her brows gradually tightened.
Justin might have underestimated his childhood sweetheart’s ambitions for wealth and power. For Ginny, all the property of the Tuscan Family had originally belonged to her, so in her current situation, she didn’t consider the part where she gained. On the contrary, she was thinking about the half that she lost. “I think you should leave it alone.”
On the other end of the video call was Hernandez, and it was already night time at his place. Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows was the night view of the city center of Montenegro, which was far more prosperous than Riverdale.
Hernandez was rarely serious. “Ginny is a devil. She is crazy when it comes to her career, haven’t you seen it before? Why are you fighting. against her?” “Hernandez, I didn’t call you to hear you. discouraging me.”
“I don’t want to do this either, but the fact is that Ginny is a tough opponent. When she was still a partner in SG Pharma, I really didn’t want to confront her. She would keep pestering you and breaking you down.”
“This time is different because she’s violating human rights.” Hernandez spread his hands open. “I think it’s more appropriate for you to call the police.” “Justin still wants to leave some leeway for the sake of his dead grandfather. Ginny is the only daughter of the Tuscan Family after all.”
“Then, my hands are tied.” He was helpless as he was hoping that Rachel would finally understand where he was coming from. She sighed. “Forget it, let’s not talk about this anymore. At least she can’t locate Justin for the time being, so there’s nothing for us to do just yet. It’s getting late and you should rest early.”
After hanging up the video call, Rachel faced her desktop and fell into deep thoughts. All of a sudden, a message popped up on her phone. ‘Are you free tonight? Let’s have dinner together.’
It was a message from Julian. Rachel hesitated for a while, then replied, ‘Okay In the afternoon, she and Jolly went to the mall together. Jolly stood in front of the full-length mirror and turned around. “Does this look good on me?”
“Yes.” “Is it suitable to wear this when meeting the elders?” “Elders?” Rachel was stunned for a moment and looked at her. “Leroy is finally going to bring you to meet his parents?”
“Not yet, but I think he will soon,” Jolly said proudly. “He’s on leave tomorrow, so I decided to go to him with the newly bought clothes and ask him along the lines of ‘How do you think I will look if I were to meet your parents wearing this’. I don’t believe he won’t understand my meaning.”
“Then, what if he plays dumb on purpose?” “Impossible. Leroy is not that kind of person. He is just too busy with work and he hasn’t thought of it for the time being, so he needs my gentle reminder.”
Rachel was helpless. It seemed Jolly was also a fool in love. However, Leroy didn’t seem like someone who played with women’s feelings. As for not mentioning that he would bring Jolly to see his parents, maybe it was just like what she said- he was too busy and didn’t think of it at all.
“I’ll change to another set. It’s good to have a few more options.” After Jolly entered the dressing room, Rachel rose from the sofa and walked to the men’s clothing area. “Miss Hudson, are you going to pick out some clothes for your boyfriend?”
“I’m just looking around.” “Miss Hudson, how about this one?” The shopping guide picked up a casual shirt. It was off-white, very fresh and clean. Julian was more suited for a refreshing style like this.
Rachel looked at it for a while and said, “Looks great. Just wrap it up for me.” Her fingers ran across the hanger and eventually stopped on a gn-gray shirt. “This one too.”
And it went on for a while. Jolly came out after changing, handed a pile of clothes to the shopping guide and went to the cashier to check out. She shook her head and moved her neck. “Phew, I’m exhausted. Why don’t you try something too?”
Rachel waved her hand. “No need. I have clothes to wear.” “You mean your work clothes? Can you at least buy some outfits suitable for a date? I have to talk to Julian about you some day and tell him to take you out to buy some clothes.”
“Miss, your clothes are ready. We will deliver them to your door later.” ‘No need. It’s just a few pieces anyway. We’ll just bring them back by ourselves.” Jolly had just finished speaking when she saw the two shopping guides in front of them, each. with several large bags in their hands, and a pile more behind them. “I didn’t buy that much…
Right?” Rachel clarified, “I bought them.”
“You bought them?” Jolly looked as if she was haunted. “Since when did you buy so much? Did you try it? What did you buy?” As she was speaking, Jolly flipped through some of the paper bags. “Aren’t these all men’s clothing? Who did you buy them for?”
“Julian.” Rachel looked calm. “His birthday is around the corner, but I don’t know what to get him. I can’t go wrong buying a few clothes, right?” “You’re not just buying a few clothes. I think you’re planning to buy him all his winter clothes.”
“Nah. I don’t think so.”
Jolly shook her head again and again. “What a prodigal, spending all that money just like that. You have never been so generous even to me.” Night fell when Rachel and Jolly returned home with various bags of trophies’.
Rachel changed her shoes at the door while Jolly kicked off her high heels as soon as she walked in. After shouting that she was exhausted, she went into the room barefoot, plunged onto the couch, but raised her head to sniff the air, “What is it? It smells so good.”
When Jolly got up from the sofa, she saw that dinner was set on the dining table. At that moment, Justin also placed the washed fruit on the table. “Wash your hands and come have dinner.”
She was so shocked that she choked on her saliva because she almost forgot that there was a man at home, secretly doing all these for them. “This is amazing, Justin. I’m sure you’ll make a fortune if you open a restaurant with this level of skill.”
Jolly climbed off the sofa and sniffed the aroma of the food like a dog. She tried to eat the braised pork with her hands, but was slapped away by Rachel next to her. “Go and wash your hands.”
“Ouch!” Jolly clutched the back of her hand that was sore. “Did you have to slap me so hard?” “How are you going to set an example for the kids if you’re like this?”
“Fine. I’ll go and wash, okay?” Then, she went into the kitchen to wash her. hands and while doing so, she shouted toward the bedroom. “Where are Charlotte and Samuel? Come out! We bought new clothes for you. Come out and try them!”
Charlotte and Samuel ran out immediately. “Mommy!” Charlotte first hugged Rachel and kissed her. “Why didn’t you take me and Samuel with you to buy new clothes?”
Rachel pinched Charlotte’s nose. “Because you lazy fellows were taking a nap at home and didn’t get up.” “I’m not a lazy fellow!” Charlotte’s attention was quickly attracted by the clothes. “Wow, this skirt is so beautifull
Samuel had no interest in clothes, so he climbed onto the chair with both hands and feet while shaking his head helplessly. “I can finally eat. Women are really troublesome.”
Jolly just came out of the kitchen, glanced at him, and taught her son with a straight face. “Wash your hands before eating.” He calmly retorted, ‘I’ve already washed them, and I’ve been waiting for you to come back for dinner.”
“Really?” Jolly was suspicious, but turned around and found a positive answer in Justin’s eyes. She felt a little embarrassed at the moment. Her son was so self-disciplined that it made her feel ashamed as a mother.
