Chapter 1396


    Lena’s nose tingled, wanting to cry, but she held back tears. Even in front of her beloved, she aimed to


    keep her strength.


    Chris smiled, his finger brushing her cheek, and gently kissed her forehead.


    Lena whispered, “If you learned about my past someday… would you see me differently?”


    “Why? Was your past that of a fairy reborn?” Chris teased.


    Lena gave him a yful punch.


    Chris nuzzled her forehead. “Even if you were a monster, I’d let you devour me.”


    “Why do you trust me so much?”


    “Because you’re Lena,” he said without pause. “Because… I trust my judgment.”

    Renee walked into the Thompson Group’s cafe once more. Sitting across from her, Jacquelin appeared


    submissive, offering frequent apologies.


    Renee’s expression remained chilly, her eyes tinged with a touch of scorn, apanied by a subtle


    smirk.


    “Ms. Renee, I’m really sorry!” Jacquelin might have knelt to Renee if they were not in a public ce.


    “I… I just really wanted to secure the deal with Ms. Bayerst time. I went right over when she came in,


    but I didn’t mean to ignore you. Ms. Renee. I’m just a salesperson. Please understand my difficulties!”


    Renee sipped her coffee and snorted. She knew exactly what kind of person Jacquelin was—always


    changing, trying to please whoever was in charge. These words barely scratched the surface.


    Renee also knew Jacquelin wasn’t sincere with her. Jacquelin wouldn’t bother with her if she didn’t own


    shares in the Thompson Group or wasn’t Nichs’ niece.


    Jacquelin only wanted to use her because her backer wasn’t reliable. He had a family to go back to.


    His interactions with her were just for fun, with no real feelings involved.


    Still, Renee believed there were areas where Jacquelin could be helpful.


    “I understand all of this and am fine with it.”

    “I just hope that you won’t repeat this mistake in the future.” Renee looked at her coldly. “You want to


    achieve sales, and I can help you with that.”


    Jacquelin did not expect it to be this easy. Overjoyed, she hastily showed her loyalty. “Ms. Renee, you


    truly are magnanimous! I didn’t misjudge you! As long as youmand, I’ll get it done for you, even if it


    means going through hell!”


    “It’s not that serious.” Renee chuckled. “Jacquelin, you’re a smart person. You should also realize that I


    really dislike Lena, right?”


    Jacquelin looked around before she nodded firmly.


    “It’s quite a pity that I couldn’t drive her awayst time, so…”


    “So, I’ll be your eyes and ears!” Jacquelin smiled. “And find Lena’s faults!”


    Renee nced at her and stayed quiet for a while. Finally, she spoke softly. “You should not only focus


    on finding her ws but also observe her closely.”


    “What?” Jacquelin was puzzled. “Ms. Renee, do you suspect something about her?”


    “I don’t know either.” Renee frowned and mumbled, “I just feel that there’s something strange about


    her. She’s not rted to the Thompsons, yet…”


    Jacquelin stared at her. She did not catch all of Renee’s words but could read Renee’s expression


    clearly.


    The look on her face clearly meant to crush Lena and erase herpletely! How much did these two


    women hate each other to cause this reaction?

    But Jacquelin couldn’t think about that now. She would do whatever Renee told her to do, and she


    would do it right away.


    “Sure. Ms. Renee, you can count on me. I’ll watch her closely.”


    Lena came to deliver chicken soup to Lina again. She took advantage of her lunch break and discreetly


    slipped in, using the service elevator at the side to avoid anyone’s attention.
