《My Love My Hatred (Jennie and Lance)》 Chapter 1 Chapter 1 Chapter 1 Break-Up Tomorrow is my boyfriend Leo¡®s birthday. I flew all the way to surprise him, but ended up surprising myself instead. Getting off from the ne, i hopped on to the cab I rented. Unfortunately, the cab got into an ident and I ended up having some minor scratches on my arm. The police helped send me to the hospital to get my injuries cleaned and treated. I was about to call my boyfriend when I saw a man and a pregnant Thedy was obviously 4 to 5 months pregnant. However, it wasn¡®t thedy who caught my attention. The man beside the pregnantdy, who is now looking at her with care and love, is my boyfriend Leo. Seeing how Leo is taking care of her carefully, I¡®m pretty sure they are in some sort of close rtionship I walked towards Leo and calmed myself, asking: ¡°What are you doing?¡± Leo looked surprised, he must be thinking why I would be here. Thedy looked at me with a smirk, then I suddenly understood what is happening. ¡°Leo, answer me.¡± My tone was getting harder. Leo didn¡®t answer me immediately. Instead, he nced at the woman beside him and pulled me to a side where there¡®s nobody around. I pulled my hand away and screamed: ¡°What is your rtionship with thatdy? Is it your child inside her?¡± His furrowed his brows, eyes filled wit guilt. I have known him for 18 years, I know what he¡®s thinking with just one look. ¡°Kinsey, I¡®m sorry.¡± Leo said these 3 words. These 3 words were like knives cutting my heart. He felt as if he hasn¡®t hurt me enough and added: ¡°Kinsey, let¡®s break up.¡± I stepped back a few steps, I couldn¡®t believe what he just said. Then, I gave him a hard p across his face. He didn¡®t dodge and instead epted the p. ¡°You......you!¡± I couldn¡®t take it anymore and my tears started rushing out my eyes. We started officially dating 3 months ago, yet thedy is already 5 months pregnant. This means that he confessed to me 3 months ago at the same time knowing he made another woman pregnant 2 months earlier. It¡®s my fault, I was the foolish one. He¡¯s someone that I love so much. He treated me the best in the 18 years that we know each other, but yet he lied to me, yed with my feelings. I couldn¡¯t describe the anger that i¡®m feeling right at this moment. I raised my hand and pped him again. Like just now, he didn¡¯t dodge. Instead, thatdy walked towards us and pped me hard. ¡°Me and Leo were together before you, who gave you the right to p him? You¡¯re the third wheeler.¡± Is that woman telling me that I¡®m the rtionship wrecker instead? I covered my face with my hands, Leo was also shocked that thisdy pped me. ¡°Lia, what are you doing? This is between me and her, go back first!¡± Leo shouted at the woman. Lia noticed Leo getting angry and tried to leave, but I pulled her arms, not letting her go and said: ¡°Nobody leaves until this is settled.¡± Exclusive ? content by N(?)ve/l/Drama.Org. ¡°Alright, I have no problem telling Ms Jennie Gomez who¡®s the third wheel here. Seems like Lia is not an easy woman too. ¡°Enough! Shut up, Lia.¡± Leo growled at thedy. ¡°Jennie, I¡®m sorry, I¡®ll exin everything to you slowly. Which hotel are you staying at, let me send you back.¡± Leo looked mentally tired. Tired of the 2 women beside him. ¡°I want you to exin now.¡± Right now, I¡®m on the verge of be mad. I¡¯m furious. I stepped forward to hit him again. Leo didn¡®t move away but Lia stepped in front of him to protect him. ¡°Ahh!¡± Thedy screamed. ¡°Lia! What¡®s wrong?¡± ¡°Leo, my stomach hurts, I might be having a miscarriage! LEO! Our child!¡± Leo pushed me away hard and I fell onto the floor. I looked at him. He was very worried about Lia. He carried her up and rushed towards the emergency room with his hands full of blood. My knee was scratched, but it doesn¡®t hurt like my heart. The floor was also full of blood. Then I realized what I have done. Inside the hospital, Leoy against the wall, smoking his cigarettes. He has been studying overseas for few years now, I have flown here to visit him a few times yet I didn¡®t notice him taking up smoking. After a brief exnation I finally understood his rtionship with Lia. He attended a gathering with Lia and they had a one night stand. Lia got pregnant but didn¡®t tell him. She waited until she¡®s 3 months pregnant only she told him. This means, when Leo confessed his feelings to me, he had no idea this woman was pregnant. He didn¡®t lie to me, he didn¡®t y with my feelings too. ¡°Jennie, go back. I¡®m sorry.¡± He finished his cigarettes and looked up at me. He still wants to break up with me, but I don¡®t agree to this. I love him so much! I can¡®t live without him. I could hear my voice trembling when I speak: ¡°You ......you can let her keep the child, you can raise the child with her too, I don¡®t mind, I will help you take care of the child too. I can also sacrifice by not giving birth to any child, as long as you marry me, not her. Okay?¡± I begged, kneeling in front of him. I have never been so low before. He knows me well. He knows I¡¯ve never begged anyone like this. Leo raised my head with his hands, looking utterly shocked. He wiped my tears away and said: ¡°Jennie, I¡¯m sorry. I don¡¯t deserve you to treat me so well! I¡®m trash!¡°. ¡°You deserve it, you know how much I love you. You know it better than anyone else in the world. I waited for you for so many years and you finally confessed. I don¡¯t want to just give up like that, please, don¡¯t leave me!¡± My fierceness disappeared and right now I¡®m just a weak woman, begging him not to leave me. He pushed me away softly. I couldn¡¯t stand it, I hugged him from the best and buried my face on his back. I cried: ¡°I really don¡¯t mind her and the child!¡± Yet, Leo still pulled me away: ¡°Even if Lia wasn¡¯t pregnant, we still can¡¯t be together! Don¡¯t forget that we are blood rted siblings!¡± Chapter 2 Chapter 2 Chapter 2 We Meet Again I just woke up wen my mom called me.¡® My mom said: ¡°Your second eldest brother is getting married next month, apply some leave ande back to help out with the wedding.¡± He is getting married, and me, his ex¨Cgirlfriend, should go back and help? He told me we were somehow blood rted, but the truth is, also we are siblings, we are not blood rted. How ironic. With one hand holding my phone, I used another hand to hit my own head, replying mom with a hoarse voice: ¡°I¡®m noting back, i¡®m busy.¡± Mom raised her voice after hearing me reject her request. ¡°How can you note back? Uncle Mason will be upset, plus, your brother Leo treated you so well, if you don¡®te back for his wedding, he will be very sad.¡± Mom said my second brother will be upset if I don¡®t go back, I wanted so badly so shout back at her, to tell her that if I go back, both me and Leo will feel ufortable. At night, after work, my colleagues asked me if i¡®m free to join them for an activity. Since i¡®m free, I said yes. When I reached home and started packing, Uncle Chin called me. He is my stepfather. Uncle Chin said: ¡°Jennie, your eldest brother is working in California, why not you meet him there and fly back home together?¡± My eldest brother, Lance Mason, who is also Leo Mason¡®s brother, is the CEO of the Mason¡®s Company. He¡®s one of the most sought after bachelor in the business world. The thing is, I really don¡®t like this guys, I even hate him. He always look at me with judgmental eyes. He looks down on me and my mother. My rtionship with my stepfather is also very formal. I respect him, he treats me formally. Since he called to tell me this on purpose, there¡¯s no reason for me to reject anymore. ¡°Alright.¡± The next day, I was brought to the VIP lounge of the airport by Lance¡¯s drivers. There were a few people standing in the lounge, only Lance was sitting. He wore ck suit and had his hairbed back. He was reading a sports Scanned with CamScanner We Meet Again magazine on the sofa. Although I hate him, I must admit he is very handsome and is born with a noble aura around him. I think i¡®m the most unlucky person in the world right now, being forced by my own mother to attend someone¡¯s wedding. Someone that I still have feelings for. Plus, I still have to fly in Lance¡¯s private ne. What a joke. He¡®s a jerk. I always try to not see him, thest time I saw him was during New Year¡®s Eve. If it was few years ago, to avoid any gossips I would still call him¡®brother¡® or ¡®Mr Mason¡®, but now, I don¡¯t even want to call him o greet him, let alone see him. We truly hate each other. Since this is a mutual feeling, then there¡¯s no need to pretend anymore. Lance took a nce at me and didn¡®t say anything, his eyes were filled with disgust. Then, he continued reading his magazine. I looked for a ce at the corner and sat down, ignoring his arrogant ass. Just when I was about to turn my body around , Lance¡®s female personal assistant was walking by me. I identally knocked her and she spilled the coffee. The coffee spilled onto Lance¡®s chest area and onto his pants. I screamed internally, asking God why the hell am I so unlucky today. I forced myself to apologize. ¡°Sorry.¡± I try looking for a tissue for him but he waved his hand and forced out 3 words coldly: ¡°Don¡®t touch me.¡± ¡°Don¡®t touch me!¡± This is the only sentence he said to me in 10 years. I pulled back my hands. I noticed the assistant and him giving each other looks. Hm, something must be going on between them. The nended at the International Airport of Denmark. The two people who came to pick us up made me really ufortable. Leo, who is the person that I love, and also my second stepbrother, holding on to Lia, who is probably 9 months pregnant now. I felt a pang of heartache and my tears rolled down my cheeks and onto my phone screen. I quickly wiped away my tears, afraid to let anyone see my weak side. ¡°Ms Gomez is here too! What a coincidence!¡± Lia said, raising her voice. I didn¡®t look up, I kept looking at my phone. I won¡®t allow anyone to see my red eyes. Exclusive ? content by N(?)ve/l/Drama.Org. Lance was obviously angry that I did not greet his sister-inw politely. He opened his mouth to speak to me, for the second time in 10 years: ¡°Go sit at the back and stop making problems.¡± My head remained low staring at my phone. Tears kept rolling down. I hate myself for being so weak. I don¡¯t even have the courage to take a nce at Leo, i¡¯m afraid to let anyone see my weakness. Lance saw his only brother in a good mood, smiled and said: ¡°Not bad, little one! Getting married and having a child so much earlier than your older brother! I¡®m really happy for you, truly.¡± Leo didn¡¯t look very excited. ¡°Brother, make it a simple wedding, I don¡®t like too much problem. ¡°How can my only brother have a simple wedding? Even if our family agrees, will Lia Sanderson agree? Will her family agree? Plus, you two are a very matching couple. We are all very happy that the person you like is from a good and powerful family too.¡± Lance¡¯s voice was not very loud, but I know he made sure I can hear him. Everyone in the Mason¡®s family know about me and Leo, i¡¯m pretty sure Lance knew too. Perhaps i¡®m just being too sensitive. His words, in fact, did wake me up. Leo was right, even if Lia was not pregnant with their child, there¡®s no way me and Leo could have continue down the path as a couple. I¡®m born into a low status yet Leo is the second master of the family, my mother is his father¡®s second wife. Stating my mother as second wife is already a a name or status. Not even an engagement certificate. That time, Grandma Mason agreed to let my mother be in the family but on one condition, which is my stepfather can never marry my mother legally. This also means me and my mother has nothing to do with them except for being under their care. In the Mason¡®s household, the servants call Leo and Lance master and young master, yet they don¡®t call me mistress, they call me Lady Gomez. This makes a huge difference between me and them. Ever since the beginning, I shouldn¡®t have let myself develop any feelings for Leo, now I have to take all the judgements from them. I took a piece of tissue from my bag and wiped my tears away. What¡¯s the point of crying? Will Leo Of course not. I was still in my own thought when Lia Sanderson called out my name. I did not reply her, she called out again: ¡°Jennie,e sit here and let us all talk a little, don¡¯t just sit there all by yourself! No fun!¡± I looked up at her and rejected: ¡°No it¡®s fine, i¡®m a little tired, I need some rest alone.¡± I noticed Lance¡¯s eyes staring at me, filled with irony and sarcasm, while Leo still wouldn¡¯t look at me. Then, I heard Lance said: ¡°Lia, there¡¯s a difference between masters and servants in the Mason¡¯s family, everyone should know where their seats are, to let them know their own status and position.¡± Lia pretended to be innocent and unaware: ¡°Isn¡®t Jennie considered as a daughter of the Mason¡¯s family? She is your sister too right? And also Leo¡®s sister. Why is she a servant?¡± Lance nced at me with the back of his eyes and said: ¡°Since when did the Mason¡¯s family adopted a daughter? Lia you must have misunderstood.¡± He said. ¡°Really¡± Lia asked. ¡°That¡¯s enough, shut up.¡± Leo said, his tone rising. Chapter 3 Chapter 3 Chapter 3 Fight I heard their conversation, but I chose to close my eyes and pretend to sleep. Once we reach the Mason¡¯s Mansion, Uncle Mason and his mother, which is Grandma Mason were already standing at the door, weing the future daughter inw to the family I try to act invisible and wanted to go to my room, this is not my ce to be. My mom pulled my arms and forced me to greet my stepfather and my step-grandma. ¡°Uncle Mason, Mrs Mason, I¡®m home.¡± I can¡®t call her grandma like how Leo and Lance greet her because she doesn¡®t allow me to. Well, I don¡®t want to call her grandma too. Uncle Mason smiled at me nicely and said: ¡°You had a long trip, go rest with your mom then!¡± Then, I followed my mom into my small room. Mom held my face in her hands and said: ¡°What have you been doing to yourself? Why are you so thin? And why are your eyes so red, did you cry?¡± I pulled her hands away and simply made up an excuse. ¡°Who said I cried? I had too much work the past few days and stayed upte a lot. It¡®ll get better after some rest. Why not you let me have some rest alone?¡± Mom patted my head, seeing that I have alreadyid on my bed: ¡°Sleep then, i¡®ll wake you for meal ¡°Mom, don¡®t wake me for meal, just say I have motion sickness from the ne. I don¡®t feel like eating.¡± I really don¡®t want to face the Mason¡®s family. ¡°How can this be? Uncle Mason will be upset.¡± Mom walked out after saying this, she only cares about Uncle Mason¡¯s feelings ad never asked about my feelings. I went for dinner anyways. Uncle Mason seems happy. Well, his second son is going to marry ady from a nice Fight family, ad she¡®s pregnant, of course he is happy He spoke to Lance: ¡°Your younger brother is ahead of you, you need to catch up too, you¡¯re already 31.¡± Lance chuckled softly and said: ¡°It¡®s not easy to find a girl from a nice family background and have mutual feelings.¡± I scoffed internally, filling up my mouth with rice. ¡°Leo, take some dishes for Lia, don¡®t just sit there!¡± Lance¡¯s voice echoed through the spacious dining room. ¡°Dear, I want some soup, can you please get it for me?¡± Lia said softly. Her words cut deep into my heart. ¡°Karen, Jennie is not young anymore, right?¡± Uncle Mason asked my mom. My instincts tell me he¡®s going to arrange marriage for me. ¡°Jennie is already 23 this year, she sure is not a kid anymore. I was thinking if you or Mrs Mason can help find her a suitable partner?¡± My mom replied softly. ¡°The son of the vegetable seller is almost the same age as your Jennie, plus they are born in the same status, very matching. I agree it¡®s time to marry her off. There are two grown men in the house, a grown woman staying together with them is inappropriate.¡°my step-grandma said. Both she and Lance are the same, they look down on me and my mom. My mom¡®s face turned ugly. She wanted to let Uncle Mason arrange someone nice for me and yet his mother wants me to marry a vegetable seller¡®s son. ¡°Grandma, Karen, Jennie is still young. Plus, it¡®s the 21st century now, who likes blind dates? Don¡®t worry too much about her.¡± Leo took a glimpse at me, helping me. But I don¡®t need his help. How depressing, he can marry a rich family¡®s daughter, yet I can only marry someone of low status. After dinner, everyone of the family sat in the living room, chit-chatting about Lia and Me and my mom will always be an outsider here, no matter how long we¡®ve been in this household. I went back to my room in the third floor. There¡¯s a pure ck smartphone at the stairs. I picked it up, wondering whose this is. I was about to had it to one of the servants when one of the older maid shouted at me: ¡°Why is master¡®s phone in your hands?¡± I never expected this pure ck phone to be Lance¡¯s. Seems like it must be custom made to be this dark. ¡°I found it near the stairs, I didn¡®t know it was his. Here, give it to him then. Bye.¡± The maid took the phone. Lance appeared and demanded coldly: ¡°Throw the sim card away and crush the phone.¡± Once again, Iughed sarcastically to myself, does he have to do this? I barely touched the phone. Haha. I must be very filthy to him for him to act like this. I recalled when he asked his assistant to change my seat at the ne further away from his. When we had dinner just now, I never ate anything that his spoon touched. I turned around to go upstairs. Suddenly, he spoke to me again, the third time: ¡°Have you forgotten which stairs you are supposed to use?¡± Their mansion is gigantic, there are 2 sides of stairs. The right side is for the Mason¡®s family while the left side is for servants. He¡¯s being way too obvious that he hates me. He should tattoo on his face ¡®I hate Jennie Gomez¡®. I stayed at my school¡¯s hostel when I was in middle and high school. I tried not toe back home to avoid seeing him. After a long time, I finally realized that I should not see myself as one of the family here. Today, he reminds me once again that i¡®m even lower than a servant. I walked towards him, looking at him straight in the eye for the first time in 10 years and said: ¡°Oops sorry, master, I forgot.¡± Scanned with CamScanner Chapter 3 Fight This was my first sentence to him in 10 years. ¡°Now you know. Hmph!¡± He scoffed and walked away. I go down the stairs and use another side. Leo and Lia¡¯s wedding will be held at the mansion, my mom is currently being scolded like a dog by step-grandma. I hate her, but I can¡®s do anything. I hide into my own room but the butler came and told me Mrs Mason wanted to see me. I went out of the house. She saw me and red at me: ¡°We don¡®t take in useless people. Stop standing around and get up thedder to decorate!¡± There are so many male servants here but she wanted me to climb up. I don¡®t want to do it but before I could reject, my mom sad: ¡°Jennie, you have a petite body, why not you go up and do some stuff, as a little reward for your brother¡®s marriage.¡± I didn¡®t have breakfast, so I got a little dizzy high up there. I identally stepped into the air and fell down, I was so in shock that I forgot to even scream. There are marbles and stones beneath me, if I fall down, I might die, but it¡®s not a bad thing. My blood will help decorate Leo¡®s wedding venue. I didn¡®t fell onto the ground, but yet onto a man¡®s body. A man screamed. ¡°LEO! Are you alright?¡± Lance asked with concern. Leo saved my life during, he will always be the only one helping me in the family. Lance grabbed me from Leo and pushed me to the floor. Mrs Mason noticed her grandson getting injured and pped me hard across the face. ¡°Useless!¡± Theld my face in my hands, I can¡¯t even cry out. I was embarrassed like this, yet my mom still apologized to them. Am I wrong? No. 1 didn¡®t force Leo to help me. Lance helped bring Leo to his room. Lia followed behind, worried. I am also worried about him, I n to go see him once everyone leaves.N?velDrama.Org owns this. I haven¡¯t even reached Leo¡¯s room when I felt myself being pulled into another room. The person who pulled me is Lance Mason. I wonder if he doesn¡®t think that my hands are dirty anymore? ¡°Jennie Gomez, you better know your own ce. If you still have any intentions for Leo, I will not forgive you.¡± Lance pointed at my forehead and warned. I looked at him with surprise. How does he know? ¡°Jennie Gomez, look yourself in the mirror and remember what kind of person suits you.¡± His words were really harsh and ugly. Although we haven¡¯t talked in ten years, I still know how harsh his words can be. He is very gentleman towards others, just not me. I was 5 years old when I enter this family. He said my mother is a slut, and i¡®m a bastard child. When I was 12 and he was 20, during his birthday, my mom made him a cake to make him happy. Instead of eating it, he threw the cake onto the floor and said: ¡°You sessfully made my father like you, now you¡®re trying to make me like you? You¡®re just a free nanny to this family, don¡®t even think about being thedy of the house.¡± He embarrassed my mom in front of everybody, twelve year old me couldn¡®t take it and picked up a pair of scissors beside me. I rushed towards him wanting to kill him. The adults pulled me away and I only managed to scratch his mid¨Ceyebrows. Until now his scar is still there. That scar is by me. Of course, I paid the price by getting thrown into jail for half a month. My mom begged and begged Uncle Mason until he let me out. I nearly blinded him, so there¡¯s a reason why he hates me so much. ¡°Finish speaking?¡± I asked coldly. Perhaps my over-calmed posture made him ufortable.¡°Get out!¡± He shouted. I turn around to leave. ¡°Wait!¡± He suddenly called out. Scanned with CamScanner Chapter 3 Fight lignore him and continue walking. He rushed towards me angrily and grabbed my shirt. He pulled hard and my shirt tore from the cor down to my waist. My breasts were revealed. I got really angry, I have been trying to tell myself to bear with it for years, not days, years! I raised my hand preparing to p him. This son of a b*tch, i¡®ve been wanting to hit him for so long. I regret not killing him when I had the chance to. Lance learned martial arts since he was a kid, so he easily defended himself and pushed me onto the floor. I wanted to fight back but my ripped shirt was hanging lose on my body. Lance¡¯s eyes stared at my breasts. I shouted: ¡°Shame on you!¡± Then, I covered my breasts with my hands. Lance suddenly kneeled down and pulled my hands that were covering my breasts away. He even ripped my shirt further and stared at my breasts longer. It was as if he hasn¡®t had enough, he dare touched my red birthmark on my breasts with his thumb. He used his thumb to massage my birthmark. I got so angry that I started swearing: ¡°You¡®re a f*cking pervert Lance Mason! Let go of me!¡± I rarely swear, people even think that i¡®m a polite girl, but he forced me to swear. Lance hesitated a little and let me go. He looks a little surprised and he took a few steps back. Tredo my bra and used what¡®s left of my shirt to cover up. The man that I love is getting married and the bride isn¡®t me, this is already more than upset to me. Yet Lance still embarrassed me like this. This increased my hatred for him. I entered the Mason¡¯s family at 5 and stayed in this house with Lance until 12. 7 years together. He never ceased to torture or verbally abuse me. He putxative into my drinks, put snakes on my bed...... After that time when I nearly killed him, I started to live in fear, afraid that he might Scanned with CamScanner Chapter 3 Fight get his revenge. Thankfully he was flying overseas to study. But nobody expected him to find a gang of gangsters to try to rape me right before he fly off, if not for Leo, I could have been raped. I got up from the floor and red a him with daggers in my eyes:¡±Lance, didn¡®t you say that i¡¯m just a piece os trash? You touched this piece of trash, now you¡¯re way lower than me!¡± Chapter 4 Chapter 4 Chapter 4 Bully Chapter 4 Bully I had a nightmare during the night, in my nightmare there¡¯s man, but I couldn¡¯t make out his face clearly. He¡¯s above me, like an animal trying to rip my shirt off. I¡¯m terrified and kept screaming out for Leo to help me. The man was heavy, I couldn¡¯t even breath properly, my lips were bitten by him and he wouldn¡¯t leave my lips alone. The dream is too real, I can really feel the sensation on my lips, and the man¡¯s palm is massaging me. When the man¡¯s hand insert went under my night-gown, I realized this is too real to be a dream and woke up in the middle of the night. The moonlight shine through the window and I can see the man¡¯s face. He looks a bit like Leo, maybe I just woke up so my thought aren¡¯t clear enough, for a split second I thought it was Lance. I hugged the man¡¯s neck and kissed him back, my lips mumbling: ¡°Leo, is that you? I know it¡¯s you, you can¡¯t leave me, right? Leo I love you.¡± Just when I was kissing him back passionately, second brother stopped kissing and pushed me away. My head banged against the bed and I heard the bedroom door bang shut. I shouted for him, but Leo never came back in. He kissed me just like that, out of nowhere and confused me even further. The next day, mom woke me up for breakfast but I didn¡¯t want to face Leo and Lance so I told her that i¡¯m sick and that I need more sleep. Mom said the same thing again, your uncle Mason will be upset. To be honest, I really look down on women like my mom. For love, they can put down their pride and ego. But, am I different from my mom in front of Leo? Tomorrow is Leo¡¯s wedding, Lance and Uncle Mason started to discuss about the wedding at the dining table. The Mason¡¯s family is a rich and powerful family, of course they have to make sure the wedding goes ordingly and perfectly. Liaid on Leo¡¯s shoulder, looking cute and innocent. She hurts my eyes. ¡°Jennie, did you not have a good night sleepst night? Why are your eyes swollen?¡± Lia asked, pretending to care. I forced myself to smile and answer her: ¡°I was drawingst night, I sleptte.¡± I was actually crying, I¡¯m hurt that Leo gave up on me. Mom knew my work is hard, I¡¯m an interior designer, a lot of things are done by me, physically. Even during holiday I still need to draft out designs and designs. ¡°America is a good country and ce to work in, I don¡¯t understand why you would fly so far away to work and can¡¯t even have proper 3 meals a day. Why not you stay in America to work? What do you think about this, Robert?¡± My mom asked Uncle Mason. Timmediately understood my mom¡¯s intention. Lance is managing the biggest propertypany in America, and he also owns a famous interior designingpany. Mom wanted me to work under the Mason¡¯s family so that I might have a chance to et upper-ss people and marry someone powerful. She¡¯s doing this for me, but her kind of love, is wrong. Uncle Mason looked at Lance and said: ¡°Lance, Jennie is one of the top achievers in this designing area, I think it¡¯s a good idea to let her work in Elegance Interior Designing Enterprise.¡± Lance hated me, he wouldn¡¯t be willing to let me wrk in his ownpany, Uncle Mason knew this, but he talked to Lance about it out of formality. I remained silent, because I knew L¨¤nce will confirm reject me and might even try to embarrass me. ¡°Alright, since Elegance is also hiring new interior designers now, after holiday she can go for interview.¡± I looked up at Lance, who was sitting opposite of me, with surprise. Since when did he be so kind? Lance¡¯s eyes met mine, his eyes were dark and cold. ¡°Jennie, thank your brother!¡± Mom cried out happily, pulling my arm. Thesitated for a brief moment and said: ¡°Thanks brother, but i¡¯m fine in my currentpany, I still don¡¯t have ns to changepany.¡± ¡°Jennie, what are you doing?! Your brother¡¯spany is globally famous, isn¡¯t that way better than your current littlepany?¡± Exclusive ? content by N(?)ve/l/Drama.Org. Mom heard what I said and got angry. ¡°If Jennie doesn¡¯t want to go, then don¡¯t force her. I know she¡¯s been working hard, of course she wouldn¡¯t want people to think that she entered apany using rtions, don¡¯t force her, Karen.¡± Uncle Mason said softly. I scoffed to myself, seems like not only Lance hates me, Robert Mason doesn¡¯t really like my existence too. I go to other ces to work which means he doesn¡¯t get to see me a lot, he just Chapter 4 Bully doesn¡¯t like the fact that my mother gave birth to another man¡¯s child. ¡°Mom, Uncle Mason is right, you should stop worrying about me too much, i¡¯m an adult now.¡± I haven¡¯t even got the chance to finish my sentence when Lance got up from his seat and left, saying: ¡°Ungrateful woman!¡± What? Tomorrow is Leo Mason¡¯s wedding, ording to their family tradition, Lia was sent to stay in a luxurious 5-star hotel a night before the wedding. Tomorrow, the Mason¡¯s Family will wee her to the family from the hotel. The person that I love most is getting married and I haven¡¯t gotten him a gift. Looking at my own reflection in the mirror, millions of insane thoughts crossed my mind. The man I love is marrying someone else, and i¡¯m still a virgin, i¡¯m not willing to lose my virginity to another person. I think I must be crazy to even imagine giving my virginity to my second brother as a wedding gift. I sent him a message and asked him to meet me at the spot where he celebrated my birthday with mein secret. I asked him to meet me at Romance Hotel, room 520. In the same hotel, same room that time when I was 17, we were still innocent step-siblings.
