Love me or leave me (Rebecca and Theodore)

Chapter 238

Hayden was stunned for a time before nodding and replying with a smile, "Yes, my grandparents said so. But I wasn't home last time. Next time, we'll celebrate Christmas together. Come to my house, and I'll extend my welcome."

Hayden's invitation made Stacey's heart race instinctively. After a while, she nodded, saying, "Okay."

Hayden grinned, glowing with excitement when he heard her reply. They conversed in the dark. It was already late before they realized it. He didn't ask her and the children to go home together until about nine o'clock in the evening.

Stacey unknowingly kept pace with Hayden. She couldn't even understand why someone like him knew so much about the trivial stuff in life.

She pondered, 'Don't housekeepers frequently manage the daily lives of wealthy CEOs and scions, as portrayed in TV shows and novels? Apart from work, they take part in a variety of exquisite programs. Ordinary people's lifestyles should be vastly different from theirs, right? Like Mom and Dad, they rarely cook in person. Grace and other housekeepers are usually in charge of these tasks. As a result, they struggle to behave like ordinary people in front of Isabella. Adrian is always concerned that they will be exposed. But...'

Stacey then couldn't help but swivel her head and steal a glance at Hayden, wondering, 'Although he can accomplish many small things in life, it should be difficult for him to play an ordinary individual.' Hayden exuded a noble aura that set him apart from others. As a result, she felt reflexively nervous every time she met him.

Stacey would occasionally remember that he was only two years older than her, making them roughly the same age. Although they were about the same age, she had always thought there was a significant difference between them. Because she thought about it too much, she began to doubt Hayden about what he liked about her and what she possessed that earned his liking. She left the residential area park unwittingly with a chaotic mind, and the bodyguards stationed nearby to protect them secretly also followed them.

At the same time, Jenny slowly emerged from the spot where they had previously rested, unbeknownst to Stacey or the bodyguards. She looked at their backs, her gaze drawn to the three children who were following them. Carrying her purse, She stared at the three children's backs with loathing, her eyes narrowing slightly. She mused, 'Stacey... She certainly keeps her close eyes on the two kids. I don't even have a chance of harming them.' Even though Jenny wasn't fully prepared, she had to give it a try. The documents she stole from Theodore the previous time were phony, causing her and Dorothy's scheme to fail and costing them a lot of money. However, she wouldn't give up so simply and had to get the Edwards family project back because it was important for her and Dorothy's new company. But Theodore was difficult to persuade and even contacted the cops, wanting her arrested. Fortunately, she was a Menterra citizen and could use several legal loopholes in Zentiscape to escape.

However, if Jenny still intended to get that project from Theodore, her previous plan wouldn't work. Some men had always upheld a sense of dignity in front of women. Many women would admire him for his superiority. Occasionally, when a woman approached and lightly flattered them, they trusted everything. But once it was revealed, the man was also the cruelest, never trusting her at all.

Yet, Jenny no longer considered these to be the most important because she didn't want to return to him anymore. For the past two years, she had been miserable trying to please the pompous Theodore every day. She mused, 'He should look at himself in the mirror. What a psychopath. With his attitude, how could he expect many women to be drawn to him and fall for him? Barf!'

From Jenny's observation over the

past years, she had found out about Theodore's weakness, which was Rebecca. Men were scumbags. He didn't appreciate Rebecca's devotion to him and the lovely life they shared When Rebecca was

heartbroken and left him, he realized how much he loved her and couldn't let her go. Every time he got drunk, Theodore would clamor for Rebecca to remarry him, which was the best proof of his feelings for her.

Therefore, his care for Rebecca had become his weakness. Content

As long as Jenny could find a way to catch Rebecca, or Lillian and Kevin, and threaten Theodore with the children, he would undoubtedly guarantee that he would let her off the hook for the past and provide her the project she desired.

While Jenny was pondering, her mother, Dorothy, appeared out of the corner and called out, "Jenny."

Looking back at Dorothy, Jenny was surprised and asked, "Mom? Why are you here?"

Dorothy stared at Jenny and lowered her voice, saying, "Jenny, I've asked someone to look into the man with Stacey. His name is Hayden. How about we give up on this project? It'll be the same if we switch to another project."

Frowned, Jenny replied unhappily, "No way. I can't allow failure to happen to me."C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.

Dorothy felt worried and added, "But... We can't afford to mess with the Hoggard family given their status. If Hayden is truly willing to defend Stacey, it'll be difficult for us to flee even if we are Menterra citizens."

Jenny, annoyed by Dorothy's words, snapped, "Mom, are you getting so old that you've started to become timid? I've never seen you be timid when Dad was powerful. It was due to your courage that you were able to become the lady of the Smith family and achieve the prominence you have today." She then looked Dorothy in the eyes and continued seriously, "Mom, I won't give up." Then, she turned to gaze at Carter Villa. This time, she contemplated for a long time before saying, "I think it's fine if we have no choice but to give up on this project. I..."

Dorothy knew Jenny so well that she could tell what she was thinking right away, and she quickly stopped her, saying solemnly, "Jenny, you can't. Hayden won't like you. I looked into Hayden. He lacks emotion in a love connection. He took over the company at the age of 18, and every year, innumerable ladies wanted to sleep with him and marry him, but none of them were successful."

"I don't think so. Can't you see he has some feelings for Rebecca now?" Jenny retorted.

As Dorothy heard it, she said anxiously, "Jenny, you..."

Jenny stared in the direction of Carter Villa and snorted. "Mom, don't worry. I know what to do."
