Chapter 422
Jennifer was stunned for a moment. Before she could speak, Constance continued, "Since you like kneeling so much, you can just stay here and kneel."
For someone who tried to kill her the first time they met and later constantly opposed her, Constance couldn't bring herself to forgive.
After getting in the car, Felix glanced coldly out the window and said indifferently, "Was that Jennifer?"
"You know her?" Constance was a bit surprised.
"No, but I heard Mr. Drake went to the Chambers Group today to help you. By the time I got the news, he was already back at the Drake Group. I didn't have a chance to intervene," Felix replied.
Sitting in the passenger seat, James couldn't help but glare at him. He thought, 'Didn't he still intervene a bit?'
Thinking about the document Felix had him send to the police, James silently felt sympathy for the Chambers Group.
That document contained a lot of evidence of the Chambers Group's illegal activities. The Chambers Group was already struggling, and this might just push them into bankruptcy.
Constance raised an eyebrow. "My dad has always been like this; he can't stand to see me suffer any grievance."
Felix pressed his lips together. "It seems I haven't been a good enough husband."
"You'll have plenty of opportunities to back me up in the future," Constance said.
Hearing this, a touch of tenderness flashed in Felix's eyes, and he couldn't help but smile. "Thank you for giving me this opportunity. I promise I won't let you down."
Seeing the relaxed atmosphere between the two, James couldn't help but feel happy for Felix.
If Constance weren't still alive, he wouldn't know if he could ever see Felix smile like this again.
The two returned home, and after dinner, Felix went to the study to look at documents while Constance sat in the living room watching TV.
Not long after, the doorbell of the villa suddenly rang.
Constance got up to open the door and saw Eric outside. A look of surprise flashed in her eyes, but she quickly guessed his intention.
"Mr. Chambers, if you're here to plead for Jennifer, there's no need. I don't want to forgive her right now," Constance said.
"Ms. Drake, I know what Jennifer did made you very angry. I couldn't believe the harm she caused you when I found out. I'm here to invite you to dinner to apologize. I will keep her at home from now on and never let her appear in front of you again," Eric spoke seriously.
Constance was silent for a few seconds and then said softly, "Mr. Chambers, you can't keep Jennifer at home forever. And this isn't the first time she's hurt me. The first time we met, she tried to kill me, and later she repeatedly made things difficult for me at Luminary Ventures Group."
"As long as Miss Drake is willing to give her another chance, I will discipline her properly."
Constance looked at Eric calmly and said slowly, "Mr. Chambers, you're saying this because Jennifer's actions have already affected the Chambers Group, right?"
Being exposed so bluntly, Eric's face turned extremely ugly.
After a long while, he finally spoke, "Ms. Drake, regardless of the reason, Jennifer has truly been punished this time. Can you show some mercy?"
Before Constance could speak, a cold voice sounded behind her. "Eric, you've only met Constance a few times, yet you allowed Jennifer to do those things to her. How dare you ask her to show mercy?"
Eric's face changed, and he looked past Constance, a hint of darkness flashing in his eyes.
"Mr. Clinton, isn't the punishment you and Mr. Drake gave the Chambers family enough? My dad has already been taken for investigation, and we don't know if he'll go to jail. The Chambers Group is in chaos. I just don't want the family to fall apart. Is that so wrong?" Eric retorted.
Hearing this, a look of shock flashed in Constance's eyes. Eric's father had been taken by the police?
She took a deep breath and said softly, "Mr. Chambers, I'll pretend the past never happened, and the conflict between Jennifer and me is over."
"Really?"
Seeing the disbelief in Eric's eyes, Constance nodded. "Yes, but if Jennifer does anything to me again, I won't be lenient."
"Don't worry, I'll send her abroad tonight. You won't see her again. Tomorrow, I plan to invite you to dinner at Fragrant Tower Restaurant to apologize. I hope you will come!"
Constance was about to refuse, but Eric had already turned to leave.
If it weren't for Jennifer, she would have had a good impression of Eric.
"Reluctant? He's already gone far. Do you want me to call him back?" Felix's deep, dangerous voice sounded in her ear. Constance turned her head and met a pair of cold eyes.
Seeing Felix's serious expression, Constance couldn't help but laugh. "You're angry about this?"
"You can't look at other men!"
"What about my dad and my brother?"
"They're off-limits too!"
Seeing his domineering look, Constance couldn't help but say, "There are so many men on the street. If I glance around, I'll see several. Should I blind myself to avoid seeing other men?"
"Just don't stare at other men!"
"Okay, I got it. But Eric said he wants to invite me to dinner tomorrow night. Should I go?"
"Why not? He might bring Jennifer to apologize to you."
Constance frowned. "Even if she apologizes, it won't be sincere. I don't want to see her again."
"It's up to you. If you don't want to go, then don't."
"Okay, I'm going upstairs to take a bath and sleep."
"Go ahead."
Outside Luminary Ventures Group.
It was already past nine in the evening, and the Luminary Ventures Group building was dark, but Jennifer was still kneeling at the entrance.
She knew very well that if she didn't kneel until Constance forgave her, Preston would really cut ties with her.
A black Range Rover was parked by the roadside. Eric lowered the back window and looked at Jennifer coldly.
If Jennifer weren't his biological sister, he would have strangled her because she was not only stupid but also unaware of her stupidity!
After a long while, he finally opened the car door and got out.
Hearing footsteps, Jennifer turned her head and saw Eric walking towards her with a cold face.
"Eric," Jennifer called out.
Because she had been kneeling for a long time, her voice was very weak.
Eric stood in front of her, looking down at her with no warmth in his eyes.
He took out a card and threw it in front of Jennifer, saying coldly, "Take this card and go abroad. From now on, you have nothing to do with the Chambers family."
Jennifer's body trembled violently, and she gritted her teeth. "No! I won't leave!"
If she really left, she would never have a chance to come back.
A look of impatience flashed in Eric's eyes, and he said coldly, "If you don't leave, what will you do in Thundertop? Be laughed at by those socialites? Will you still have the dignity to attend those parties?"
