Fall in Love After the Flash Marriage

After that night, Jenny felt like she had crossed a hurdle, and wanted to live a good life with Luke. What happened afterwards would be left for the future. When she woke up the next day, Luke had already left. A note was left by her pillow, reminding her to eat. The Luke Up Group had recently been too busy with the merger and acquisition, so she had no chance of meeting him for a few days after that. On the day of the birthday banquet for the son of the HY Group's young master, Jenny finally got changed and attended the event.

Daniel had been waiting at the entrance. The moment he saw Jenny, he wished he could poke his finger into her skull, "Well, my lady, is it you who are asking for my help or is it me who ask for your help? You know what time is it now? If I didn't go in to dress Mrs. Sapphire up, these socialites from the high society would eat me alive!"

"It is all my fault. Let's go. Hurry up."

Jenny urged him repeatedly. Before she moved on, she looked around the entrance and didn't see Allen. She got butterflies in her stomach and felt uneasy and anxious.

After they entered the banquet hall in the hotel, Jenny didn't want to follow Daniel around, but Daniel had been dragging her and wouldn't let her go, for fear that something unexpected would happen to her. Finally she was dragged into the dressing room.

The dressing room was furnished in a European style. The first things that caught the eyes were those pieces of white and golden furniture. This hotel belonged to the HY Group. Once entering the dressing room, they saw Mrs. Sapphire, who was in simple loungewear, sitting in the sofa impatiently, while a few luxuriously dressed ladies stood next to her, keeping her company.

Mrs. Sapphire's face brightened up at the sight of Daniel, "Finally you're here. Come on and help me choose a gown. The dinner party is about to start."

Daniel immediately went to the gowns.

Sapphire got a glimpse of Jenny from the corner of her eyes and frowned, "Daniel, who's she?"

"Oh, she's my assistant. She's here to help."

"She looks familiar..."

Jenny's heart missed a beat. She deliberately put on no make-up today. She was wearing baggy clothes and a hat, so she thought nobody would recognize her.

Although Sapphire and Allen were old acquaintances, Sapphire didn't know Jenny because it was Allen who had turned up for the Jin family's activities all those years. The outsiders only knew that there was a lady in the Jin family who didn't like showing up in public, but few knew that Jenny was from the Jin family.

"She has a popular face and is far from being familiar. Mrs. Sapphire, how about this gown? Open back is on trend now."

"OK. Whatever you say!"

Sapphire's attention was distracted by Daniel soon and she threw herself into Daniel's style design.

When Jenny was wandering around in the dressing room, someone came in suddenly to look for Sapphire. In a suit, he looked like an assistant.

"Mrs. Sapphire, Allen's here."

On hearing the name of "Allen", Jenny was startled. She turned to Sapphire and stared closely at her.

Her face changed unsurprisingly, "Why is he here? Throw him away."

"But..." The assistant seemed a little bewildered. After a while, he said, frowning, "But Mr. Lachlan Hopkins has already seen him and thus let him in. He said that he is a guest after all. Since he's here, we should treat him properly."

Sapphire's face turned pale immediately as if she had heard something terrible. She urged Daniel, "Are you done? I have to go out once you're done."

Daniel was putting her hair in an tight updo. After pinning the hair with the last hairgrip, he was done.

Sapphire seemed to be in a hurry to leave. Daniel asked someone next to him, "What happened to Mrs. Sapphire?"

Gathering up her skirts, a lady who had been watching aside sat on the seat which had been occupied by Sapphire, and touched her own hair.

"It has already been three years and Sapphire's son is three now. Ex-boyfriend, or, ex-backup guy came here. If he isn't a spoiler, who is he? Come and fix my hair now. I just saw it getting a little loose." While Daniel was working on the hair, Jenny sneaked out of the dressing room, walking along the row of lounges on the second floor when she heard Sapphire's voice.

"Who told you to let him in?"

"Don't you want to see your old lover now?" A man's voice came through. It sounded resonant, and one could tell the speaker was at his prime time.

"Lachlan Hopkins, what's your attitude? Let us be clear. If it wasn't me playing along with Allen back then, would it be so easy for you to pull it off?"

"You don't have to mention the past to me. If not for the support of the HY Group, your family would have lost everything! You did a great job back then, and climbed into his bed!"

The sound of a heavy slap in the face came through from the room. Suddenly, Jenny's face froze.

"Bitch, how dare you slap me! You are courting death."

"I would rather die than live with someone shameless!"

"Who is shameless, you or I? Who is the son's father? Do you really think that I protect your dignity in front of everyone, you fucking whore?"

"He is the son of your Hopkins family!" Sapphire said with absolute certainty and coldness, "Whether you acknowledge him or not, he is the son of your Hopkins family, unless you don't want your dignity anymore!"

"Well, the dignity of the Hopkins has long been ruined by you..."

Jenny heard the footsteps coming closer, so she escaped into the opposite room. She closed the door and took a peek from the cat's eye. She saw a man in his 40s walking out from the room. According to their quarrel, this man was Lachlan Hopkins, the young master of the HY Group.

Her heart felt like it had swallowed a pin, and she didn't recover her composure for quite a while.

Every wealthy family had its own issues. It was believed that Lachlan was not a womanizing man. It seemed he was not interested in women at all. As for who was the real father of Sapphire's son, Jenny was confused. Was her uncle really the father of their son?

It was not until Sapphire left that Jenny went out of the lounge. Hardly had she taken a few steps, she was called to stop.

"Who are you?"

The sound of the man's footsteps came closer and closer. He took a few steps further and sized her up, "Are you working as a temporary help? Why haven't you got changed yet?"

"I'm going to get changed right now..." Lowering her head, Jenny dashed away.

"Don't be so rash. You're going in the wrong way. This way..."

Jenny was dragged into the changing room. She put on the waitress uniform and was thrown into the kitchen to help. Having been buzzing around for a while, she finally managed to carry a tray and go out, bu meanwhile, the dinner party had already started.

The dinner parties thrown by the Hopkins had always been spectacular. Almost all business moguls from all walks of life in the city were invited. If she hadn't manage to cajole the fact that Luke wouldn't attend a dinner party like this out of Tom, Jenny wouldn't have dared to hang out in the banquet hall so boldly.

Jenny saw Allen sitting in the corner from a distance. Allen had been glancing around, and apparently was looking for someone.

At the thought of the quarrel, Jenny had a sort of feeling that Allen shouldn't stay here for long, so she walked to him and wanted to persuade him to leave immediately.

She didn't expect that the issue of the Hopkins family would be so complicated. She just wanted to teach Allen a lesson and give up on Sapphire, but it seemed that the matters had to be handled slowly. What she worried about most was whether her uncle was the father of Sapphire's son.¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶☐☐☐☐
