Chapter 41
But now, Jennifer could only suppress her emotions.
She took a deep breath and then said, "William, I'm outside your villa right now. Can I come in? There are some things I want to say to you in person."
"Come in."
Jennifer was already outside; he couldn't possibly stop her from coming in.
Jennifer moved quickly.
She knew Christina was in William's villa, but the moment she walked in and saw Christina, her inner resentment and dissatisfaction grew infinitely.
"Christina, are you satisfied now? You framed me and got me expelled from the architecture institute, you entered the institute yourself, and became Mr. Fisher's apprentice. Now you're even living in William's villa."
Jennifer laughed sarcastically.
Her gaze was provocative and contemptuous, as if saying to Christina, "Don't think you've won. The future is still uncertain."
Christina crossed her arms and smiled sweetly, "Yes, I'm very satisfied now. Not only did I get in, but I also removed a pest from society. There's nothing wrong with that."
"As for me living in Uncle's villa, it was Uncle who personally brought me here. If you're unhappy, take it up with Uncle. Don't sarcastically mock me."
"I didn't even want to come. This morning, Uncle specifically sent Bob to bring me here. Maybe that's the difference."
"Uncle, despite the rumors, if you want to marry me, I wouldn't mind at all."
She had no intention of marrying William.
She said this entirely to provoke Jennifer.
Jennifer was the creator of all the tragedies. What Jennifer was experiencing now was nothing compared to what she had gone through in her past life.
"Christina, go back to your room," William said with a dark expression, throwing the words at Christina.
Christina had no interest in their entanglement, but before leaving, she had to make Jennifer feel worse.
She smiled and said, "It's still comfortable living in Uncle's villa. Jennifer, if you want to come, you better hurry. Otherwise, I might really become William's wife in the eyes of others."
Christina left, leaving freely, but her words and her departure deeply rooted in Jennifer's heart.
The main thing was that William didn't stop Christina from saying those words.
What did that mean? Was he tacitly agreeing?
Jennifer was really worried that in the end, it wouldn't be her staying by William's side, but Christina!
"William, look at her. She used schemes to ruin my reputation. I can't stay in the architecture institute anymore. Now she wants to do this to me, but she's your nominal niece. Are you really going to marry her?" Jennifer was so unbalanced.
She had made so much effort over the years to stay by William's side, and in the end, everything was benefiting that bitch Christina!
William's face was cold, and his words carried a hint of displeasure, "When did I ever say I was going to marry her?"
William's expression didn't seem fake.
But if William wasn't going to marry Christina, why did he place Christina in his own villa? Like Christina had just proudly said, he even arranged for Bob to personally pick her up!
And then there were the rumors outside.
One rumor spreads to ten, ten to a hundred.
In the end, wouldn't it be said that Christina was William's kept mistress?
William and Christina, a forbidden love, and so on.
Jennifer couldn't stay calm thinking about this, "I'm afraid the situation will develop to the point where you have no choice but to marry her. William, it's all my fault. If it weren't for me..."
Jennifer lowered her head, her voice hoarse, and tears fell like broken pearls.
William didn't like people crying in front of him, but Jennifer had cried many times.
Before, William would comfort Jennifer.
This time, William frowned and said coldly, "Crying is useless. You were expelled from the architecture institute, and I can't help you with that."
"I was just momentarily confused. My previous work..."
Jennifer didn't expect William to still have this attitude. After the competition scandal was exposed, William had been very cold towards her.
She knew that William hated deceitful people the most.
She didn't dare to say much more.
But a day had passed, and she thought William would have calmed down, and she just needed to act as usual. But what was the result?
William didn't even want to hear her continue, "What you're saying is useless. In the Golden Cup Award, you plagiarized, you hired a ghostwriter. Jennifer, the architecture institute is a national institution, and the competition was live-streamed, with so many eyes watching. Do you think I have the power to get you back into the institute?"
If it were a company, he could have kept Jennifer, but this was the architecture institute!
Jennifer saw that William was angry and quickly explained, "That's not what I meant. William, I'm just worried about you. I can have no future, but should your future be ruined because of Christina?"
"You've seen the rumors about you and Christina."
William hated baseless rumors the most.
"So, you came here just to remind me that I can't keep Christina here?" William squinted his eyes, his long gaze falling on Jennifer.
Tears were still welling up in Jennifer's eyes.
Jennifer was crying miserably.
But she quickly waved her hand to deny, "Not entirely. I just missed you and wanted to see you. And I know you're very angry about the competition incident."
Her image in front of William had always been good, but now, because of this incident, her image had plummeted. She came to restore her image, which was her main purpose.
But William didn't seem to have the patience to listen to her.
At this moment, Christina's voice came from above, "Jennifer, I find you very good at talking. Why don't you just say what you want to do?"
"Your goal is to restore your image in William's eyes and see if William can help you get back into the architecture institute!"
Christina had long seen through Jennifer's intentions. Since she wanted to make Jennifer unhappy, she would make sure it went all the way.
Jennifer's face changed dramatically. She looked at Christina, who was leaning on the railing, looking down leisurely.
Christina's lips curled into a smile, even a bit smug.
Seeing this, Jennifer couldn't control her anger. She even wanted to rush up and tear Christina apart.
She gritted her teeth, "Christina, what does it have to do with you when I'm talking to William?"
