Domineering Mr. CEO and His Impudent Love-Chapter 2238 - 2250: She Thought It Was Just Polite Distance, But It Was Even Worse Than That
Too much bullying, and too despicable.
Skye Brown and Lily couldn’t stand listening anymore.
Skye Brown asked directly, "Are the Jenkins family not saying anything about this? Don’t the elders and Sophie Jenkins’ parents care?"
"Ha, care... they’re probably too happy to care."
Mrs. Johnson sneered before slowly explaining the Jenkins family situation.
In Mrs. Johnson’s generation of the Jenkins family, there are four siblings.
Mandy Jenkins has an older brother and a younger sister, making them three siblings.
Below them is a brother seven years younger than Mandy Jenkins, Jonathan Jenkins, who is Sophie’s father.
Mandy Jenkins: "Jonathan is my father’s child with his second wife. The three of us siblings were raised with care by our stepmother. Honestly, our stepmother treated us well, without any abuse or favoritism. Instead, it was my father, Ian Moore’s grandfather, who favored Jonathan, the youngest son, since he was a child."
"Later, we each started our own families. Because of the family’s expectations and my position as the eldest sister, I was married to Marie Wellington to represent the union of the Jenkins and Wellington families. Even though I didn’t love him, and he didn’t love me, we both knew this marriage symbolized the union between our families. The Jenkins family gave me a wealthy and luxurious upbringing, with the best education and lifestyle. I knew I had to marry a man of equal standing to repay the Jenkins family, which is what a daughter of the Jenkins family must do."
She couldn’t just receive and not give back.
So when her parents proposed she marry Marie Wellington of equal standing, she agreed without hesitation.
When she was young, Mandy Jenkins read the book ’The Last Emperor.’
It contained a famous warning: ’At that time, she was too young to know that every gift from fate has long been marked with its price in secret.’
At that time, she was just like the protagonist in the book.
The young her didn’t understand the meaning of this sentence and felt it was alarmist.
She was born into a wealthy family, wore the finest clothes, received top-notch education, ate the most exquisite food, and lived a life of luxury.
She had loving and highly regarded parents, harmonious siblings, and a marriage that was envied and praised by everyone.
Proud Mandy Jenkins believed that even if she married a man she had only met a few times, she could still make him fall in love with her after marriage with her charm.
However, life always likes to play jokes on people.
Just like the protagonist in ’The Last Emperor,’ she thought she had received everything, but never realized those gains had already been marked with a price.
Everything she received would require future payments and deductions.
So, shortly after the honeymoon period, during her pregnancy, Mandy Jenkins discovered that Marie Wellington was unfaithful.
By the time she gave birth to Dylan Wellington, Marie had already changed his female companions several times.
It wasn’t that Marie Wellington didn’t love Mandy Jenkins. Mandy was young, beautiful, nobly born, and elegant, which he naturally loved.
But his heart was too large, his love too abundant, and his love... too shallow.
It came easily and left quickly. Every woman seemed to be showered with his affection, but no woman was his ’true love.’
And so, the two entangled, pulled, and fought with each other until Joan Wellington was born, and Mandy Jenkins lost all hope.
"From the moment Joan was born, I completely gave up on this man... I thought I could never warm his heart, I thought he had none, and I accepted my fate to live as a wealthy couple without feeling. But who would have thought... that at this time, he would suddenly discover true love. And that true love, ironically, is Sophie Jenkins!"
