Chapter 235 What Exactly Do You Want to Do?
The burning pain on her face seemed to pull her back overnight to that night in the hospital five years ago.
He hit her, called her dirty, and told her to get out of the Jenner family, not to sully the Jenner family.
"Always remember who you are. Without me, where would you be? How dare you speak to me with that attitude?" Eugene's eyes were devoid of any familial affection or warmth, his tone cold and severe. "Even if you're no longer registered in the Jenner family, the blood running through your veins is still Jenner blood. Do I need to teach you the hierarchy all over again?"
Jessica abruptly turned her gaze. Under the light, her face was clearly red with no visible fingerprints.
"When did you ever teach me?" She looked fearlessly at the scumbag who had the nerve to pose as a father. "Stop flattering yourself. We severed ties five years ago. My life was returned to the Jenner family in that fire. I have nothing to do with you!"
Eugene was about to raise his hand to slap her again, but Jessica stood there coldly staring at him, not intending to dodge. "You told me to get lost back then, and I did as you wished. So what? Are you using your authority as a father now? What right do you have?"
He didn't land slap her. For some reason, he seemed to consider something and lowered his hand, simultaneously giving a signal to the two bodyguards beside her.
Jessica warily looked at the two bodyguards approaching her. Before she could step back, they pressed down on her shoulders and quickly took her phone from her pocket, turning it off.
Before coming up here, she had assumed that Eugene just wanted to warn her, tell her not to mention the Jenner family outside, and maybe humiliate her a bit.
After all, the Jenner family never wanted her presence, especially Eugene, who would only want to keep distance from her. Under normal circumstances, he would never use any unnecessary means against her.
But clearly, this wasn't the case now.
"What are you doing?" She glanced warily at Eugene, then at her confiscated phone, and finally at the two hands firmly holding her shoulders. "Let go!"
Eugene said nothing, just gave another signal to the two men. Jessica's eyes darted between them, and she heard one of them say, "Sorry, Ms. Jenner."
Mrs. Jenner?
What did that mean?
She had never heard that title in the nineteen years she spent in the Jenner family!
Jessica wanted to speak, but one of the men suddenly covered her mouth with his large hand, rendering her unable to make a sound. She could only stare in disbelief at Eugene, who turned and walked away.
She struggled.
She had just gotten out of the car temporarily to shoot a scene in the hotel banquet hall, leaving her bag behind. Naturally, she didn't have her pepper spray with her. Besides, with these two strong bodyguards, even if she had it, it might not be useful.
Mackenzie and Zoey probably thought she was still filming and were still waiting for her in the trailer, not realizing she was missing yet.
Especially since Eugene was her biological father, if she were really taken away, unless Eugene was up to something illegal, even if they called the police, it would likely end in nothing.
Jessica tried to bite the man's hand, but he held her so tightly that she could barely breathe. As she started to feel faint from lack of oxygen, she was suddenly dragged into an elevator at the end of the corridor and forcibly taken away.
When the elevator doors opened, they led to the hotel's underground parking lot, far away from the banquet hall.
Jessica was forcibly taken into a black business car by the two men. Once inside, they sat on either side of her, continuing to hold her down. Apparently, they were afraid she might suffocate, so they released her mouth once they were in the car.
Jessica struggled continuously in the back seat to no avail. She took a few deep breaths and looked outside the car, only to see Eugene getting into another car. Both cars left the parking lot simultaneously.
"Where are you taking me?" Realizing that struggling was useless, she calmed herself and warily looked outside the car.
The two bodyguards remained silent, pressing her shoulders firmly, giving her no room to move or any chance to escape.
"In a lawful society, the Sunroy Group values its reputation. Does Eugene not care about his anymore? What does he plan to do by having you forcibly take me away?" Jessica instinctively twisted her shoulders while glancing down to see which pocket held her phone, but she couldn't spot it. She wasn't sure if it had been thrown away or placed in another pocket.
The bodyguards did not respond.
She suddenly took a deep breath, closed her eyes, and said, "Eugene wouldn't be so inhumane as to silence me, would he? Am I such a threat to him? Or is he so ashamed of my existence that he wants me to disappear again?"
"Ms. Jenner, Mr. Jenner just intends to bring you back to the Jenner family." One of the bodyguards finally spoke, but his tone was distant, clearly not intending to explain further.
Jessica glanced at him, clearly not believing it.
Someone who couldn't wait to kick her out of the Jenner family suddenly wanted to bring her back?
However, as the car drove away from the hotel, she noticed in the dim night that it was indeed heading in the direction of the Jenner family residence.
What exactly did they want to do?
Bringing her back to the Jenner family for no reason?
Jessica remained silent throughout the journey, realizing she had no way to act out. The two bodyguards were like mountains pressing down on her, but they didn't harm her; they just prevented her from resisting.
When the car stopped at the Jenner family villa, the familiar house she hadn't seen in five years was right in front of her. Jessica closed her eyes. As she got closer, she felt a weight pressing down on her heart, bringing back the suffocating despair of her youth.
When she was taken out of the car, she didn't even bother to look around the front yard of the Jenner family for any changes. The two bodyguards almost mercilessly threw her inside.
She stumbled a few steps into the house. The maids inside were startled by Jessica's sudden appearance, standing there with shocked expressions, as if they had seen a ghost.
Jessica barely managed to steady herself and turned to Eugene walking in. The two bodyguards stood at the door, not entering but clearly ensuring she couldn't escape.
"What exactly do you want to do?" Standing in the Jenner family living room, her every instinct rebelling against the very essence of the place. Even breathing the air here felt suffocating.
"My daughter has been missing for five years. Now that I've finally found you, of course, I'm bringing you home. What else would I do?" Eugene's tone and expression were far from sincere, sounding more like he was reciting lines.
