Chapter 965
Fenna returned to Elio and Philip, offering each of them a glass of wine. It was customary for the men to socialize over drinks at the banquet.
By the banquet’s end, Sean noticed Elio still hadn’t shown up. Worried, he went inside to search for Elio, but there was no trace of him anywhere. Unable to reach Elic by phone, Sean grew frantic and immediately called Jasper.
Half an hour later, Josie received a call. She hurried outside and spotted Fenna’s car parked by the roadside. Climbing in, she was shocked to find Elio unconscious in the back seat.
“Aunt Fenna, what’s happening?’ Josie asked.
As Fenna drove away, she said, “I brought him here for you. The rest is up to you.”
Confused, Josie replied, “I don’t understand, Aunt Fenna.”
Fenna glared at Josle. ‘You fool! I’m taking you both to a hotel. Your responsibility is to watch over him. If he shows any reaction, be prepared to spend the night with him.
Tomorrow morning, I’ll arrange a police raid targeting illegal activities, with the press in tow. You’ll be front-page news as his girlfriend who spent the night with him at the hotel.”
Josie was awestruck by Fenna’s audacious plan. “Oh my goodness! Aunt Fenna, that’s amazing!”
Fenna smiled with a hint of satisfaction, saying, “After this, he’ll have no choice but to marry you. If he tries to shirk responsibility, it could harm his business.
“His parents won’t tolerate such a scandal. They’ll do everything to ensure he marries you into the Hoffis family.”
“And that’s not all.” Fenna’s smile grew wider with pride as she continued, “A month later, whether it’s true or not, you’ll announce that you’re expecting.”
As Fenna revealed more, Josie became increasingly thrilled. She couldn’t help but smirk. saying, “Aunt Fenna, you’re brilliant.”
Fenna responded with a smug smile. The car pulled up to another five-star hotel. As Fenna turned off the engine, she glanced through the glass and found Jasper standing in front of the car. Both she and Josie were stunned.
With hands casually tucked in his pockets, Jasper stood tall and imposing. He possessed the strikingly handsome features of his parents, Nathan and Wanda, enhanced by a roguish charm. His eyes flickered with a teasing mockery, almost as if daring them, saying, “Run! Let’s see where you can go!”
Josie’s voice trembled with nervousness as she stammered, “A-Aunt Fenna, how did Jasper find out we’ll be here? What should we do?”
Fenna turned to check the back seat. Elio remained unconscious, hidden from the view on the outside. “Stay calm. Don’t panic. I’ve got this.” Fenna reassured Josie before stepping
out of the car.
As she approached Jasper, the door of the adjacent vehicle swung open. Mila emerged, her expression stern, her stride confident and commanding.
Fenna was taken aback once more when she saw Mila. She couldn’t understand how Wanda
and Jasper had discovered her careful planning and arrived so swiftly.
Without a word, Mila walked up to Fenna and delivered a resounding slap across her face. The sharp crack echoed in the quiet. The slap was powerful and ruthless, laden with long- standing and recent grievances.
Stunned, Fenna held her throbbing cheek. Once she recollected herself, she glared at Mila, her eyes blazing with anger. Emphasizing each word, she snarled, “Wanda Hoffis, how dare you-l’
Before she could finish her sentence, Mila raised her other hand and delivered another sharp slap, striking Fenna’s opposite cheek. The crisp sound of the second slap reverberated through the air.
