Chapter 3


    At the ke mansion,ughter upied the building.


    Jenna was yfully clinging onto Matthew''s arm. "Can''t you just get me that Masaretti, dad? With


    the 10 million dors we''re getting from the Reid family, we don''t need to worry about money in the


    future anyway!"


    Matthew sat in his chair, engrossed in the newspaper. When Jenna made her request, he turned


    sharply, his gaze piercing.


    "How can you still ask for a luxury car? Turning down that marriage was foolish. The Reids are


    wealthy beyond measure. They could have given you anything you desired."


    Jenna scrunched her nose, clearly displeased.


    "Dad! rk Reid is hideous, and his personality is as odd as theye. The thought of marrying


    him repulses me. Why would I want that?"


    She added, "And besides, that mute Judy married him on my behalf anyway."


    Jenna paused, her eyes rolling before a devious smile spread across her face. "I''d dly marry


    Dominic, though. He''s a doctor in Fulgaria, handsome, and sessful. Men like that are more to my


    liking."


    Matthew had always indulged Jenna, but her upbringing had made her unreasonably spoiled. He


    sighed deeply before gently tapping her on the nose. "Dominic Helps is Sally''s son, not an heir to


    the Reid family. What good is he?


    "And rk is no fool. If it weren''t for Judy, where else would we find a recement for you?"


    Jenna lifted her chin defiantly. "If not Judy, then someone else. Maybe she desired to marry into the


    family. Joining a wealthy family like that would be a stroke of luck for a mute like her!"


    Matthew chuckled but said nothing. Only he knew that he had used Judy''s grandmother''s medical


    expenses to coerce her into taking Jenna''s ce. But such matters were of no concern to his


    princess.


    Although Judy was also his biological daughter, a mute he''d onlye in contact with recently was


    nothing inparison to the one he''d spent years coddling.


    Moreover, Judy couldn''t possibly bring honor to the family like Jenna could.


    Their conversation was interrupted by a call from the office.


    Matthew''s expression turned grave as he spoke into the phone. "What do you mean the capital


    chain from the Reid family is null? This can''t be happening!"


    After that call, his expression remained grim, leaving everyone wondering what had been said on


    the other end of the line.


    Jenna, standing nearby, overheard the conversation about the missing money and looked visibly


    distressed.


    "Dad, what are we going to do now?" she asked, concern evident in her voice.


    Matthew furrowed his brows, a glint of anger in his eyes. "That bastard rk Reid!" he eximed.


    "How dare he betray me like this? He''s reneging on our deal after I sent my daughter to marry into


    his family?"


    "He''s such an eyesore!" Jenna chimed in, her expression a mix of irritation and relief. "Thank


    goodness I didn''t end up marrying him. A man who can''t keep his word is worthless!"


    Then, turning back to her father, Jenna asked hesitantly, "What''s our next move, Dad?"


    Matthew took a moment topose himself, his mind racing with ns for revenge. "I''ll teach him a


    lesson he won''t forget. And let''s not forget, Judy is still with him," he replied with a determined tone.


    Jenna smiled, reassured by her father''s confidence. She knew he was resourceful and cunning, and


    rk wouldn''t know what hit him.


    Meanwhile, Judy was busy mopping the floor in the Reid household.

    Sally sat on the sofa, sipping her tea, her gaze critical as she watched Judy work.


    "Make sure it''s spotless. A Reid family wife should be diligent, always tending to the house. You


    should clean the rooms daily," she instructed, her toneced with judgment.


    "Lora is our senior housekeeper. We shouldn''t overburden her. You should assist wherever needed.


    The Reid family doesn''t toleratezy daughters-inw."


    Sally''s disapproval of Judy was palpable, but she couldn''t outright dismiss her from the household.


    Her priority was upholding the Reid family''s reputation, so she aimed to make Judy''s stay as


    ufortable as possible, hoping she would leave voluntarily.


    "And if you find this treatment uneptable, you''re free to leave," Sally added before grabbing her


    purse and exiting the house.


    Once Sally was gone, Judy let out a long sigh of relief. Dealing with Sally was exhausting, to say


    the least.
