Chapter 224 Events Four Years Ago
Jenny shook her head, feeling completely wronged.
She exclaimed, "I didn't do anything to Lillian. If she had treated you and me properly, how could I not like her? She was pretending. She conspired against you, took Wendy's position as the hostess of the Frane family, and is involved with Barry...”
"Stop!" Jackson interrupted Jenny sternly.
He rarely sounded so severe, causing Jenny to shiver and break out in a cold sweat.
The day before, Jenny's insults towards Lillian were captured on video at the coffee shop. Terry obtained the video and shared it with Jackson, who also viewed it. As a result, he detained Jenny for reflection.
Jenny had clearly missed her opportunity for forgiveness.
Lillian furrowed her brows and asked, "I have a clear relationship with Barry. What did you mean by the Halls' engagement to me and that I didn't fancy Barry four years ago?"
Lillian glanced at Jenny, unaware that Jackson was also giving her a rare surprised look.
Meanwhile, Jenny frowned and gritted her teeth, full of sarcasm and surprise, as she looked at Lillian.
The way Lillian asked seemed as if she had no idea about this matter at all.
Lillian must be pretending.
Jenny sarcastically said, "Stop pretending! Barry is the respected heir of the Hall family. Four years ago, after his car accident left him disabled, his mother, Amy Hall, suggested an engagement between you and Barry to the Frane family. Instead, you attempted to evade this marriage by drugging Jackson and seducing him...”
"Enough!" Jackson interrupted Jenny with a deep voice, signaling the bodyguards to step forward.
The bodyguards forcibly brought Jenny into the villa as Jackson put his arm around Lillian's shoulder. "Since you don't require her apology, let's leave," he suggested.
Lillian's mind was in turmoil. She furrowed her brows and instinctively followed Jackson as they walked out.
In the living room, Jenny, held by the bodyguards, appeared anxious and panicked, shouting, "Jackson, are you going to keep me locked up? Please don't leave! Lillian, I'm sorry. Please release me. When will you let me go? Are you trying to starve me? If you must keep me captive, at least send me some food!”
The bodyguards sat Jenny down on the sofa, and one of them asked, "Ms. Frane, do you want something to eat?"
Jenny scoffed, "Of course! I haven't eaten in a day and a night, and now I'm feeling dizzy! Remember, I am a Frane family member, so treat me with respect. Even if Jackson is upset and wants me to reflect, he will eventually let me go. I want American-style ribs, cheesecake, fried chicken, pizza... Get them for me immediately!”
She listed over a dozen types of food from seven or eight different places and instructed the bodyguards to buy them.
The bodyguards replied coldly, "Ms. Frane, please wait a moment."
Even if Jackson kept her confined, what power did he truly possess? As the sole heiress of the younger generation of the Frane family, what was Lillian's standing?
She didn't think Jackson would actually harm her for Lillian's sake.
The bodyguards were simply concerned for her welfare, providing her with food and drinks. Besides, upon hearing about Lillian's despicable actions, Jackson must be disciplining her and would soon free her.
However, Jenny was lost in thoughts of delicious food when the two bodyguards came in again.
Ten bottles of red liquid were placed in front of Jenny Frane with a stern warning, "Ms. Frane, these drinks were prepared for you by Mr. Frane. He expects you to finish them today. If you can't, don't even consider leaving this place.”
"What is this?" Jenny suddenly sat up, staring at the ten bottles of liquid, her face turning pale.
If she wasn't mistaken, those looked like...
"Chili water," the bodyguard's response confirmed Jenny's suspicion.
“Jackson is crazy. They'd perforate my stomach!" Jenny exclaimed.
She had been without food for a day and a night, and her stomach was empty. Could she survive consuming ten bottles of chili water?
“Mr. Frane said that you need to drink these to understand what it's like to speak nonsense. Ms. Frane, rest assured, the ambulance will be here shortly. Will you take it yourself, or should we assist you?"
"I am not drinking them!" Jenny's expression shifted dramatically as she attempted to flee, but the bodyguards apprehended her and restrained her on the sofa.
As another bodyguard approached with the first bottle of chili water, one of them restrained Jenny while the other opened her mouth and poured the chili water in.
Instantly, Jenny felt a burning sensation from her lips to her stomach, coughing and tears streaming down her face.
Jackson was torturing her like this just to vent for Lillian!
Jenny felt extreme hatred but also a deep sense of fear.
The atmosphere in the car was tense.
Jackson stopped Aiden from getting in the car.
Lillian sat stiffly, fidgeting with her fingers, still preoccupied with what Jenny had just revealed. She turned to Jackson and asked, "Did the Halls really approach the Frane family for an engagement four years ago?"
Jackson, with his intense and dark gaze, also fixed his eyes on Lillian. "Yes, they did. Didn't you know it?”
