Captivated by the Ruler of the Underworld

Jennifer laughed. "Don't worry. If he doesn't like Scarlett, I'll help you make him like you."

Actually, she didn't need any help.

Trenton had already fallen for Scarlett.

Phoebe felt that this was the most suffocating breakfast she had ever had.

How could Jennifer do this!

Phoebe didn't believe that Jennifer didn't know she liked Trenton.

Her deep affection must not be trampled upon by them.

Scarlett, however, shook her head and looked at Jennifer very seriously, saying with a

voice sweet, "No need. I can handle it myself. Forced feelings won't last long."

Jennifer was amused by Scarlett. "You actually understand that principle!"

Nova also laughed.

Scarlett pointed at Nova, and murmured with a tone soft, "Nova taught me."

Scarlett was very smart, able to apply what she learned immediately.

Phoebe felt as if a knife had been stabbed into her heart.

After the meal, Phoebe didn't go back immediately but waited for Trenton in the estate.

In the afternoon, Trenton's subordinate drove a military vehicle into the estate. The guards, armed with guns, were about to conduct a check, but upon seeing Trenton's resolute and handsome face, they all saluted and quickly let him pass.

Trenton had spent the entire day dealing with the troubles at the Greafury City Police Department, like reporting to his superiors, dismantling wreckage, and drafting commerreraitin krafter perrarites: ti laer Jeerra Jusy' udy; artrite was eanly, utier Fortunately, the car accident in Greafury City had been resolved, and the next step was to thoroughly inspect the border for the preparations at Ironfist Holding Center.

He planned to check on Scarlett before heading to Flame Sands Valley tonight.

The military vehicle passed through several layers of security and entered Jennifer Estate.

As the car pulled over, Trenton opened the door and stepped out with his long legs. Dressed in his military uniform, he looked even more tall and handsome.

Scarlett and Phoebe were with Jennifer in the garden feeding the fish when they saw Trenton approaching with his adjutant.

Phoebe looked at Trenton, restraining her admiration, but the joy in her eyes was unmistakable.

It had been a long time since she last saw him.

But at that moment, Scarlett ran over to Trenton, calling, "Trenton."

Trenton reached out, took off his gloves, and patted Scarlett's little head, smiling, "Scarlett, you've grown quite a bit since I last saw you."

Scarlett looked up, still not reaching his shoulder, and blinked. "Trenton, I want to marry you."

Trenton's adjutant almost burst out laughing at this.

A trace of discomfort crossed Trenton's face. He scolded his adjutant and took Scarlett's hand, leading her inside. "You're too young to talk about marriage. What nonsense."

Scarlett innocently replied, "It's not nonsense, but forced feelings won't last long, so I have to work hard. I'm just informing you."

Trenton's lips twitched, helpless yet amused.

Phoebe watched this scene, feeling much worse than just a knife twisting in her heart.

Hey there! Just a friendly reminder that if you're not reading this book on nel5s.com, you might be missing out on the complete story. Head over there to dive into the next chapter-it's all free!

She had made efforts to pursue Trenton, but the result was that he became more and more distant from her.

Phoebe gradually clenched her hand, and the veins on the back of her hand bulged. Her eyes were filled with uncontrollable venom.noveldrama

Jennifer glanced sideways, startled by Phoebe's expression. She took a deep breath and stood beside Phoebe, speaking earnestly, "Phoebe, love is something that cannot be forced. If a man is meant to be yours, he will be. If not, don't force it. There are many things in life besides love. You are a good girl, and I believe you will find the right person in the future."

Jennifer's meaning couldn't be clearer.

Phoebe wasn't slow; she understood what Jennifer meant.

But how could she know if Trenton wasn't the right one without trying?

Forced feelings might not last long, but Phoebe didn't care about longevity; she just wanted to have him.

Even though she thought this way, Phoebe still smiled obediently. "I understand, Mrs. Salazar."

"That's great," Jennifer said.

Phoebe didn't feel like watching any longer. She turned to Jennifer, saying with a smile, "Mrs. Salazar, I have something to do. I'll visit you next time."

Jennifer nodded.
