Don't Fall For Me, CEO-Chapter 1045: Total Control?

Jennings thought that July Quinn might have had the intention to marry him.

After all, when she flirted with him before, she seemed quite sincere.

But soon, Jennings dismissed this idea himself.

Because Laura Quinn appeared with some food she made herself.

Looking at the similar yet different faces of Laura and July, Jennings suddenly realized July’s elaborate actions were probably all for Laura.

"Jennings, this is for you. After you finish eating, rest early."

Laura Quinn was quite considerate towards Jennings.

Even though Jennings was now their hostage, she still prepared a portion for him at dinner.

After all, they’ve had quite a pleasant relationship over the past twenty years.

"Dad, July! This is tonight’s dinner."

Laura also apologized to July, "Sorry, I haven’t learned your preferences yet, so I temporarily made some dishes I’m good at."

Braised fish and steamed pork, dishes that Laura excelled at.

And while making them today, Laura put in a lot of effort, hoping to present the best to July.

"I’ve never had a meal cooked by my mom. This is already very precious to me."

July’s words once again deeply pierced Laura’s heart.

"Elder Cole mentioned before that you didn’t live well with your adoptive parents in the country. But I’m sorry, I still didn’t bring you back to my side, because Marsden Estate is a place that devours people without a trace."

As Laura spoke, tears couldn’t help but fall.

"So Marsden Estate was a cage to you? My father treated you so well, how could you be so ungrateful?"

Jennings couldn’t help but criticize upon seeing Laura sobbing.

Indeed, in his eyes, Joseph was already good enough to Laura.

Whatever Laura wanted, Joseph gave her unconditionally.

Even the freedom to come and go from the estate was given the utmost permission by Joseph, as long as she reported where she was going, she could leave as she pleased.

This kind of freedom was something even Jennings’ biological mother never had.

But Jennings never imagined that all these touching gestures by Joseph were seen by Laura as utterly worthless.

"I haven’t even married him yet, and he controls everything so tightly, even where I go needs to be reported. No woman would enjoy such a life without dignity!"

That’s why Laura had been maneuvering for so many years, still remaining in the fiancée status.

Besides this, she was also aware that Joseph’s politeness and friendliness to her now were solely because she hadn’t married him, and he couldn’t access the Quinn family’s assets.

According to the laws of Desrozin City, if Laura married Joseph, he would have the right to utilize the Quinn family’s property.

So once she married Joseph, that man would undoubtedly ruthlessly seize all the Quinn’s assets.

At that time, what Laura would lose wouldn’t just be the assets, but also her personal freedom and dignity.

Knowing these interest dynamics, Laura was very resistant to Joseph.

But Jennings still held a different opinion.

But before he could speak, July gave Susan Carter, who was busy watching TV shopping in the corner, a look. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

Susan immediately stepped forward and slapped the back of Jennings’ neck: "Why are you butting in while others are talking?"

Jennings, who was ready to argue with Laura, instantly collapsed to the ground as if his soul had been extracted.

After dealing with it, Susan went back to watching TV shopping on her own.

Laura and Old Master Quinn’s gazes then wandered between July and Susan.

Especially Laura, she suddenly couldn’t figure out whether her son-in-law was Susan or the descendant of the Kanes she saw today.
