Chapter 939 Morning Rounds
"You can take a taxi here. Rhys' car is downstairs," Kamden said after thinking for a moment. He emphasized, "Don't tell Mrs. Williams."
Jenna nodded; she doesn't have the habit of tattling.
She tiptoed out of the villa, hailed a taxi, and quickly arrived at Kamden's house.
Kamden opened the door and looked at her, saying directly, "You married Rhys just for money, right? Mrs. Williams is not in good health, so you better cooperate with Rhys and not think about impossible things."
Those who were Rhys’ good buddies had basically figured it out.
Rhys married a woman so quickly who had an ordinary family background and a gambling father. It was easy to see that she was definitely after money.
Jenna nodded and admitted it straightforwardly.
"Mrs. Williams gave me five million."
Kamden was shocked by her. Doesn't she cover it up a bit?
"I never thought that I could be so valuable. Mrs. Williams and he are both my benefactors, and I will take good care of him."
Jenna walked up to Rhys and helped him walk out.
Kamden stood dumbfounded in place, his mind replaying Jenna's words over and over again.
He had to admit that Jenna wasn’t annoying though she was after money.
Jenna personally drove and carefully helped Rhys up the stairs when they arrived home. After entering the bedroom, she took off his jacket and covered him with a blanket.
After finishing everything, Jenna slept on the ground with her own blanket.
The next day, Mrs. Williams came over to invite them for lunch. Jenna quickly bounced up from the ground and placed her blanket and pillow next to Rhys before lying down beside him.
The two of them would habitually lock the door after entering the house, but Mrs. Williams had the key in hand, and if she wanted to come in, she could just open the door.
"You two seem to be getting along well. Are you planning on sleeping in a little longer or getting up now for breakfast?" Mrs. Williams smiled a bit as she took in the scene inside the room.
The two of them were lying together, with Rhys still sleeping. Their expressions were very natural and not forced.
"Let's take it easy and eat after we wake up," Jenna said.
"Okay, young people need more sleep, especially since you're trying to conceive. I'll have the servants heat up some food for you so you can eat when you wake up," Mrs. Williams replied with satisfaction as she left the room. During breakfast, she ate a whole extra bowl of food.
The servant who witnessed this scene couldn’t help but exclaim, "Mrs. Williams, it's been a long time since you've eaten this much."
"Yes, Rhys has finally settled down and everything is heading in a good direction. My heart can finally rest easy," Mrs. Williams laughed.
She didn’t have to worry about anything now except taking care of herself and waiting to help take care of her grandchild when the time came.
"When my daughter-in-law gets pregnant, I'll give you a big gift as well so that we can share in the joy together! The doctor said my health wasn’t good before but if I went for another check-up now he would definitely change his mind."
The more Mrs. Williams talked about it, the happier she became until her entire being was filled with joy.
When Rhys woke up and went downstairs, he saw his mother like this and couldn’t react for quite some time.novelbin
He couldn’t remember how many years it had been since his mother had smiled like that before.
He held Jenna’s hand as they walked downstairs together and greeted Mrs. Williams.
"You two are awake? Hurry up and eat breakfast then because I have an appointment today for skin care on myself so I won't be staying here as a third wheel." Mrs. Williams got up laughing.
As newlyweds, Rhys was willing to try accepting Jenna into their family; naturally his mother wouldn’t keep nagging them anymore either.
After Mrs. Williams left, Rhys quickly finished eating because he had an important meeting later in the morning which he couldn’t afford to be late for.
"We'll leave together later; I've arranged a driver who will take us wherever we want to go today. If Mom asks, just tell her we’re working together."
Jenna nodded appreciatively at her benefactor’s thoughtfulness.
Coincidentally, today, she wanted to visit her mom and younger brother.
"I'll be back at work before closing hours; let's come back home together," they agreed before going their separate ways.
Jenna sat in the car while calling her brother’s teacher telling him that she would visit him at school soon enough.
"Are you talking about Keaton Stout?" The teacher's tone was surprised. "Keaton dropped out a long time ago. His father took care of the paperwork, and I tried to persuade him to just take a leave of absence, but from what I gathered, his father doesn’t plan on letting him continue his studies."

Jenna couldn't believe her ears.
Before this, their family was in debt and creditors were constantly pressuring them. Her dad had mentioned wanting Keaton to drop out and work.
But now that they’ve paid off their debts and she's given them so much money, why did Keaton still drop out?
"Are you Keaton's sister? Please talk to your dad. What can a young kid do by working outside for some measly cash? If it were because of poor grades, then it'd be one thing, but he consistently gets top marks on every test he takes; he could easily get into a great university." The teacher earnestly advised her.

It would be such a waste if they let go of such potential talent like him.
In this day and age, what could kids do without an education?
"I understand," Jenna nodded with a bitter smile before signaling the driver to turn around and head straight home.
Compared to before, their home looked even more rundown than ever; there wasn’t one window or door that wasn't damaged in some way. Jenna stood at the doorstep as tears streamed down her face.
She heard her mother’s voice coming from inside. "Is it those debt collectors again? I told you already that we don’t know them! We don’t have any money either! Just leave us alone!"
"Mom!" Jenna couldn’t hold back anymore as she rushed inside.
Standing before her was an unkempt woman with swollen red hands and peeling skin on her face who looked worn-out beyond belief.
"You're back?" Mrs. Stout hugged Jenna tightly while sobbing uncontrollably. "I’m sorry for everything Mom has done wrong by you... How are the Williams family treating you? If things get too bad here, then we can always run away together." Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org
The three of them could move somewhere smaller where there were jobs available, then they wouldn’t starve.
Jenna shook her head – run away?
After taking so much money from the Williams family, how could she possibly run away?
"The Williams family has been treating me well... And what about my little brother?" She remembered what his teacher said earlier about him taking time off school, which made Jenna very anxious.
She didn’t want him repeating the same tragedy as herself nor did she want him struggling through life later on in life.
