Chapter 425 No Escape
"How would I dare?" Reina smiled mockingly.
Jaylon had been like a madman recently. He would never allow anyone to touch anything that he touched.
Vincent had lived a smooth life and had not suffered much. She couldn't
involve him in the matter between her and Jaylon.
Today, Vincent sent her back only because the last bus had stopped running. He just gave her a ride on his way
home.
Jaylon pursued, "You said you don't dare. But you're still thinking about it in your heart."
Reina didn't answer his question.
She didn't answer, which meant that she had tacitly agreed. She was still thinking about the Mercedes-Benz owner.
The surrounding air seemed to freeze. Jaylon said forcefully, "Quit your job tomorrow."
He meant what he said.
A few nights ago, he felt that Vincent looked at Reina with a complicated gaze. Now that he knew that the two had
dated before, he could no longer let Reina work in Vincent's company.
Reina clenched her fists, wishing she could slap him directly in the face.
"I just started working a few days ago. If I quit, I won't get paid."
"How much? I'll give you ten times."
"I don't want your money!" Reina was a little annoyed.
"Then just resign."
"Jaylon!"
"Reina! If you don't want him to have an accident because of you, be obedient!" Jaylon grabbed her jaw hard and
warned.
"I gave you a month to adjust your mood and come back, but you flirt with your bullshit first love!"
Jaylon looked serious and tough, and when he did not speak or laugh, he gave off an extremely strong sense of
oppression, and when he was angry, it was even more terrifying.
"In short, there is no choice, right?" When Reina heard his words, the strong anger in her eyes gradually became
doused by the transparent liquid. "Jaylon, you used an innocent person as a bargaining chip to threaten me. Do you
have to force me like this?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLooking at her aggrieved and helpless appearance, Jaylon felt his heart ache a little. The hand grabbing her jaw
slowly loosened as he pulled her into his embrace. His voice unconsciously softened a little. "Reina, I didn't force
you.
"Be good. I can give you anything you want."
Reina looked up and forced all the emotions in her eyes back. "I only want you to quit my life."
"Impossible." He tightened his grip on her.
Reina stared blankly at the tall sycamore tree by the roadside. Among the leaves, an insect accidentally touched a
spider web and could no longer break free.
The energy in her seemed to have been taken away all at once. She said weakly, "I will quit my job tomorrow."
"Okay."
He lowered his head, wanting to kiss her as he did in the past.
"Don't touch me." She turned her head to avoid his kiss.
"I'm disgusted."
Jaylon frowned, but Reina was like this now. He couldn't bear to throw a
tantrum at her anymore. He could only release her.
Not long after, she would return to him. He wanted to be close to her, so he
was not in a hurry.
On the way home, Jaylon received a call from Anaya.
"Jaylon, why haven't you been here for so long?"
Jaylon casually said, "I met a lost cat on the road. I'm sending it home. You guys have fun."
Anaya heard that Jaylon was perfunctory, but he did not want to say it, so she did not ask further. "Okay, be careful
on the road."
"Don't worry."
After hanging up, he arrived at Reina's house.
He stopped the car. Reina opened the car door without saying a word and
got off. Jaylon finally warned, "Don't meet Vincent again."
Reina did not answer him and left directly.
Jaylon did not chase after her.
He only wanted her to hear it.
He knew her personality. If she wanted to protect Vincent, she would not
take the initiative to contact him again.
When Jaylon thought of the relationship between Vincent and Reina in the
past, his eyes darkened.
Reina probably still loved that man.
But he would make her forget about him.
In her future life, having him in her eyes was enough.
Reina saw Jaylon drive away through the window at the end of the corridor.
She was still expressionless as she turned around and entered the house.
Pushing open the old gray door, she was greeted by the smell of alcohol in the room.
There were several empty beer bottles on the coffee table in the living room. Several takeout boxes were lying on
the ground next to the trash can.
The boxes didn't have a lid. The thick and disgusting soup filled the ground.
A man tattooed walked out of Reina's mother's bedroom. His restless gaze fell on her a few times before he picked
up the scattered clothes on the
ground and went out.
After the man left, her mother, Lacey Zeiss, came out wearing a low-cut silk nightgown. Her exposed skin was full
of ambiguous marks.
Reina only glanced at her before she retracted her gaze. She silently walked
into the bathroom, grabbed a broom, and began to clean up.
This was not the first time she had encountered such a scene.
Lacey was an unemployed vagrant who had been poorly educated and had
stepped into society early on.
When Lacey was eighteen, she coveted her father's money and got pregnant with Reina through improper means,
and married into the Harward
family.
Lacey thought that she would embrace wealth after marrying into the noble family, but the Harward family
declined, and Reina's father also suffered from cancer. The cost of treatment almost ate all the savings in the
family.
The year her father was diagnosed with cancer, she was still a college
student.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLacey did not want to be dragged down by Reina and her father who could not make money. One night, she ran
away alone.
Reina went to school while paying her father's bills. When she heard that
more achievements were made in the field of cancer abroad, she did not hesitate and was admitted into a
postgraduate school abroad. She went abroad with her father.
She secured the financial aid project by Riven Group for overseas talents, and there were thousands of dollars of
tuition subsidies every year.
However, everything was expensive abroad, and the medical expenses were several times higher than they were at
home. The money she made through her part-time job and the financial support was far from enough to pay for
her father's medical expenses.
In desperation, she met Jaylon and won a sum of money with her beauty.
But in the end, her father still died.
No matter how hard she tried, she could not save her father's life.
The doctor said that if her father could be hospitalized half a year earlier, he might not have died so quickly.
However, half a year ago, she was trapped in the country because she had
no money and could do nothing. She could only stay by her father's side
after she had finished her schoolwork and her part-time job. Her father could not sleep due to his illness and
moaned from night to dawn. After her father died, she graduated and returned to the country to work at
Riven Group.
Reina didn't know where Lacey got the news and knew that she was well- paid. Lacey immediately came to her.
Lacey was jobless and squandered the money Reina had worked hard to
earn. She messed around with a group of hooligans all day long, drinking and gambling, and sometimes even
bringing men home.
Previously, when Reina chased the men Lacey had brought back out of her house, Lacey would come back soon,
refusing to leave.
Reina moved house twice, but in the end, she gave up resisting.
She would probably be like this for the rest of her life.
Unable to get rid of Lacey, she could only work harder and avoid everything
in the family.
However, she could never escape.
Whether it was this damned life or Jaylon.
