Chapter 31 Don’t Spill the Beans
Chapter 31 Don’t Spill the Beans
“That is true. I swear.”
Then Jessica vows, raising her tightly-clenched right fist, with a certain countenance rather than the
former nervous, hesitant one.
That is true and Jenny’s skeleton can’t be erased.
The daughter of a drug addict and an embezzler.
Luke takes his hands back from the door handle. He frowns and looks at Jessica in the distance. She
remains her grace and popularity as a movie queen while she doesn’t look pleasing even with her
pretty face.
“Who else knows about that?”
Jessica interprets Luke’s words as his trust in her, and instantly breathes a relief, “The news about Mr.
and Mrs. Jin was massively discussed in Xicheng, but no one knows Jenny is their daughter except
Frankie and I, because they had few relatives.”
Jenny’s colleagues only know she keeps a family secret and gossip sometimes about it without much
interest in the details for she is not famous. So only Jessica and Frankie know the whole story.
“I hope it’s a secret among just the two of you and me.”
Speaking of that, he looks up at Jessica and threatens her who then shudders, “Don’t spill the beans,
or else you’ll lose what you have now.”
At the end of his words, he takes a glance at Jessica with contempt and raises his arm to open the
door. The creak echos in the empty corridor and ends as the door shuts.
Jessica remains where she is for a long time with an insanely jealous look in her eyes.
What on earth does Jenny do to make people offend her?
...
On the second floor of the hotel, the balcony owns good views with stars up in the sky and warm light
down there in the garden.
All of a sudden, Jenny recalls her old house. Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
It was a two-floored garden villa built of red bricks. Comparatively speaking, it was not quit big but quit
cozy, partially similar to this place but without advanced glass enclosing the balcony.
As the door creaks open, Jenny turns around and sees a familiar man with a touch of coldness.
The temperature inside the balcony seems a bit higher than the outside.
Luke walks to Jenny and teases her, glancing at the empty plate, “Aren’t you on a diet?”
“I wasn’t going to finish it, but you come late.”
She speaks it out confidently to make it sound reasonable.
“Enough of cake?”
“Time to go?” hearing that, Jenny bounces up from the sofa and walks past it, pulling the hemline, “I’m
full. Let’s go.”
Just now, she read all the news of the past two days and realizes one banquet may not be able to save
her acting career. She’s got to think deeply about what to do in the future.
Moreover, it’s inappropriate to live in the Lu’s for a long time. She has a lot in mind to tell Luke.
Mr. Wang, Frankie and other managers keep Luke and Jenny’s company to the front gate. As Jenny
feels Frankie’s eyes at her, she escapes them by lowering her head down.
Since they broke up in a disgraceful and unpeaceful way, she can’t face him peacefully.
Frankie drags Jenny to an empty place when Mr. Wang is talking to Luke.
“What are you doing?” says Jenny in a lower voice, shaking Frankie’s hand off. She looks around to
make sure reporters are gone.
“They’re gone. They knew they wouldn’t get anything from a banquet.”
“Just in case.” says Jenny in a cold voice, “And we should keep distance, sir.”
Hearing that, Frankie’s voice turns cold, “We should keep distance, and then what’s that with Luke?
Public display of affection? Where’s the subtle Jenny I used to know? Oh, I see, Luke is rich and
powerful.”
He intended to talk to her nicely but he says ironically when seeing Jenny’s cold expression.
Jenny gets angry with more than one reason. He cheated on her first but why does it sound like she is
the one to blame?
“Yeah, I’m a double-dealer. I even had an affair with my girlfriend’s boyfriend. I feel sorry for your
meeting such a person like me, okay?”
Frankie has already felt sorry for cheating on her. When she brings it up, his guilty is aroused. He
calms himself down and says in a gentler tone, with a contrite look on his face, “Jen, I apologize for my
bad attitude. We know each other for long, you know me well enough, don’t you? I take the hurtful
words back, okay?”
As shown on her face with her eyebrows lifting, Jenny sees through him. She turns around to leave.
“Jenny,” Frankie grabs her arm, saying, “I know you don’t like me. Just one more thing.”
“Spit it out.” says Jenny, frowning more tightly, as she shakes his hand off.
Frankie is shocked by the impatient look in Jenny’s eyes, which suddenly makes him feel empty as if
he lost something valuable.
“Are you going to say it or not? I’m leaving if you’re not.” Jenny urges him.
“Stay away from Luke.”
“Huh?” Jenny looks up and laughs with contempt, “Are you jealous?”
“I’m serious. We’ve known each other for years, I won’t lie to you. Luke is able to purchase Jade
Picture on his own. Obviously he’s not a simple guy. I just don’t want you to get hurt.”
“That’s it?”
Jenny looks away and glances over his shoulder indifferently, “Then I got to go. I got something to do.”
“Jen, don’t cross with me...” Frankie drags Jenny’s arm and moves her to the corridor nearby, “Come
over, we need to talk.”
As a man, Frankie has greater strength, and he loses control of it after Jenny makes him lose the
patience.
Jenny grits her teeth and argues with him in a lower voice in case they would arouse others’ attention,
“Let go of me. Or I’ll yell for help.”
“Go ahead. I won’t let you go with such a man like Luke anyway.”
Frankie looks at her, looking resolute and decisive with his eyebrows lifted.
Even though they broke up with each other, Frankie treats Jenny as a sister since their families were
close. So he has to keep her away from that complicated man.
“Frankie, are you insane? Let go of me...”
“What kind of man am I?” a cold voice asks behind the two of them, which is like a cold knife that
penetrates the smoke and leaves a gash on the lake.
