more interested to find out about my relationship
Jennifer was extremely displeased by Melinda’s attitude, but she was indeed interested to hear about it!
“Go on.” Jennifer did a good job of hiding her true emotions as she stared coldly at Melinda.

“Stanley and I don’t have any feelings for each other, but the children are indeed his. He has already done the DNA test.” Melinda got straight to the point. “He was drugged at a charity dinner seven years ago and mistakenly used me as his antidote. That’s how I got pregnant.”
Jennifer’s eyes flashed ever so slightly in shock.
Melinda continued, “Our second
meeting seven years later wasn’t premeditated in any way. I’m not scheming to get anything from him. If I was going to do that, I would’ve sought him out during the first three years which had been the hardest for us.”
What Melinda said made total sense, and Jennifer was lost in her thoughts.
“The children want to have him in their lives. They want to have a father just like all the other children. Stanley wants to be in the children’s lives and to give them a complete family too, so that’s why we - registered our marriage. Truth be told, I had no say in the marriage. I had to sign a bunch of contracts that put me at an extreme disadvantage. I don’t have the power to divorce your son, Mrs. Fox,” Jennifer calmly declared. “I want a divorce too. After all, I’m still young. Your son is more than a decade older than me. Therefore, you’re barking up the wrong tree here if you want this marriage to be over. You should talk to him instead.” Melinda surveyed Jennifer with her dark eyes and announced with confidence, “If he’s willing to get a divorce, I promise that I won’t get in his and Monica’s way. I wish them well. May they have a blissful marriage!”
Jennifer was furious! How dare she make it sound so logical and irrefutable?! She’s acting as if she’s entirely innocent after having benefited from the whole situation!Is there any woman in the whole world who wouldn’t want to be Mrs. Fox?!
Fox Group basked under the sunlight as it towered over the rest of Riverdale. It was one of the city’s landmarks and a symbol of power.
Lydia walked into the office. “Your working space is ready, Miss Keller. There are so many people in the design department. Why do you insist on squeezing into the office with them?”
“When it comes to design work, the continuous exchange of ideas is an essential part of the process. Everyone will feel more motivated when we’re all together.” Monica was sitting at her desk. Her white suit jacket and skirt made her look even more professional. She had a faint smile on her face as she said, “Just help me move my computer over. I don’t need anything else.”
Lydia passed her an eye cream. “Did you not go home last night? Did you stay up all night again?”
“How did you know?” Monica took the eye cream from her. “Thanks.”
“Your car didn’t move at all.” Lydia’s heart ached for Monica. “Miss Keller, work is important, but your health is even more so.”
“Yes, I know. Mr. Fox cares a lot about this design project. I have to give it my fullnovelxo.com fast update attention and I want to be able to turn any inspiration I get into a proper design.” Then, Monica paused before asking awkwardly, “Do my eyebags look that bad?” She was going to see Stanley later.

“No, it’s not that bad.” Lydia felt bad for her. “You’re always gorgeous.”
Monica smiled and took out a mirror to put some eye cream on.
Miss Keller works so hard and she’s so accomplished too. Why can’t Mr. Fox see that? Lydia felt sorrowful on Monica’s behalf.

“That’s enough now. Don’t get caught up in all sorts of silly thoughts.” Monica stood up. “I’ll take good care of my health. Come. Let’s go to the design department.”
As the vice president of the company, Monica was a senior executive who held a lot of power.
She had a large office to herself, but she chose to move into the design department with the rest of the employees. That made everyone think of her as someone down–to–earth. They were thrilled as well.
Being able to work with the company’s vice president boosted the designers‘ morale! They were ‘convinced they would come out on top!
They were determined to create a design that the Queen of Brundela would fall in love with at first sight.
Meanwhile, Jennifer was on the road heading back to Repulse Bay. She sat by the window, but the curtains were drawn and not a single ray of light came in.
She stayed silent throughout the entire car ride.
Stephanie was sitting beside her. Her braided hair fell on both sides of her shoulders. After mulling it over and hesitating for quite a while, she finally took Jennifer’s arm and said, “Don’t be upset, Mrs. Fox. Don’t let it affect your health.”
“I didn’t think she’d be that type of woman. She was neither overbearing nor self–effacing, and she spoke with such logic and precision.” Jennifer had been taken aback. “She even made it sound as if she were the victim!”
“Mrs. Fox, I keep getting the feeling that Ms. Paisley isn’t just an uneducated woman from the countryside. She didn’t cower in your presence at all.” Stephanie couldn’t describe what she felt. “She’s not like the others.”
As it was, after the conversation Jennifer had with Melinda just now, the former had the same feeling.
