The Heiress' Savage Comeback

Chapter 133 This Is Quite Intriguing

Gwen glanced at Simone, who nodded and pointed to the phone. Gwen made an OK gesture in response. Then she said to Adam, "Dad, I'm back this time, and I don't plan to go abroad again." Adam, showing more patience with Gwen, asked, "Did you have another conflict with Harold?" Gwen replied, "We broke up." Adam asked unexpectedly, "How did you break up?" Gwen told the truth. "He was flirting with his secretary while leading me on. I've had enough, so I won't play with him anymore. There are plenty of men in the world, and I can live without him." She couldn't help but add, "There are also good women everywhere. No one can't live without someone else. Don't be obsessed with love." Adam chuckled from the other end of the phone. "It seems like my daughter has grown up. It's good that you're happy now. I can't imagine that Harold is playing both sides, and with the complexity of the Jenners, it's not going to end well. "I told you before that he's not a good match, but you didn't listen and insisted on going abroad with him." If it were in the past, Gwen would have argued and said that he was no different from Melinda. But thinking of Adam's situation, she held back. She said, "I understand now." Adam smiled and said, "You're so beautiful and capable. You will find someone better than Harold." Gwen raised her chin and agreed, "That's for sure." Then the topic changed. "Dad, I'm not interested in love right now, but I'm very motivated in my career. How about arranging for me to work at the Foster Group? After all, I also have shares." This was what Simone asked her to inquire about. Adam obviously didn't expect Gwen to say that. He remained silent for a moment before saying, "It's not the right time yet, wait a little longer." Gwen pretended to be unhappy. "You're just like Melinda, always favoring the eldest."Adam didn't get angry, but instead said, "Don't worry, you will have what he has too." He continued, "There's something urgent in my company, so let's not talk about it for now." Gwen knew that he didn't want to continue the previous topic. "Okay, but you have to promise me one thing." Adam asked, "What is it?" Gwen acted coquettish and said, "You have to take me out for a meal tomorrow, and I've set my eyes on a set of jewelry. You have to buy it for me." Adam said with a helpless and indulgent tone, "Alright, little girl. I'll take you to buy it tomorrow." Gwen smiled and said, "That's perfect. Bye, Dad!" After hanging up the phone, Gwen looked at Simone and asked, "Simone, have you noticed anything? Otherwise, why would you suddenly suggest that I go work at the Foster Group?" She never liked Skyler before, and now she didn't want to see him even more. Simone honestly replied, "I feel like your dad knows something, and when he called you, it wasn't really about the mystical tool. He even gave you advice and told you to go find your grandmother." In the Fosters, Old Mrs. Foster was the person Melinda feared the most. Hearing her say this, Gwen also realized it. She thought carefully and said, "That's true. Every time Melinda asks my dad to deal with me and Leon, he always handles it lightly. It seems like it's all for show in front of Melinda." Gwen then asked with a strange expression, "You're saying that my dad already knows he's being cheated on?" Simone said, "It's not impossible. Especially with what he said earlier, it always feels meaningful. Like it's not the right time yet, or like Skyler has something that you definitely will have too. I feel like your dad isn't really in love." If he was in love, he would prioritize love above all else, and what would his children mean in front of the woman he loves? If he truly loved Melinda, he would listen to everything she said. Just now on the phone, he would have used a stern tone or even commanded Gwen to bring out the mystical tool. The most surprising thing was that Adam took the initiative to advise Gwen and suggested she go find Old Mrs. Foster. He couldn't possibly know that Melinda feared her the most. This was very intriguing. The more Gwen thought about it, the more she felt that Simone's words made sense. She asked in confusion, "So, what is my dad planning? Is he trying to make Melinda jealous? He's not crazy." Simone thought for a moment and said, "There must be hidden motives behind this. "And haven't you noticed a coincidence? Skyler, Jodie, and Freya are half-siblings with the same father. They have the same father, but three different mothers." Gwen couldn't help but comment, "Is he a boar that only knows how to mate? But it does feel strange, how can things be so coincidental."She added with disdain, "Is Melinda blind? How could she steal such a man and even have his illegitimate child?" Simone saw further. "She knows that Jodie is that man's daughter, otherwise she wouldn't take care of her so much. There are secrets here that we don't know about." Gwen agreed, "Definitely." She then asked, "Should I remind my dad to not be naive?" She had planned to remind Adam during dinner tomorrow to be on guard. Simone thought for a moment and suggested, "Yes, remind him. It's a good opportunity to see if your dad knows. If he doesn't know, it's still good to have him prepared and guarded against Melinda and Skyler. But if he does know, then you shouldn't get involved in this matter anymore." If Adam knew but continued to act clueless, there must be hidden motives and preparations. Gwen trusted Simone a lot and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you." During their conversation, Gwen's phone finished downloading the document. She opened it and looked at it, revealing a surprised expression once again. "Simone, the detective found out about Harold and Freya. You would never guess what their relationship is." Curious, Simone asked, "What is their relationship?" Gwen looked up and said, "They should be considered siblings." Simone was taken aback and remarked, "They're siblings? But I recall reading that they aren't related by blood." Gwen struggled to explain, "Freya is the daughter of Harold's stepmother and her ex-husband. She married into the Jenners along with Freya. However, Freya's true identity was kept secret, and she stayed in the Jenners as that woman's niece." This revelation took Simone by surprise. She pondered and remarked, "Harold must have kept her close to him for a specific purpose." Gwen had previously mentioned that Harold's life within the Jenners was challenging. Not only did he have to deal with a stepmother, but also a stepfather. The stepmother gave birth to a son and sought to compete with Harold for the Jenners' inheritance.Harold was raised by his grandparents; otherwise, he might have been destroyed or harmed by the stepmother. It was also thanks to his grandfather's support that Harold was able to go abroad, establish a company, and confront his biological father. The shares held by Harold's grandfather became a battleground between Harold and his biological father. Every family faces its own difficulties. No wonder Adam had previously commented that the Jenners were too complicated and that Harold wasn't a suitable match for Gwen. Or perhaps Adam was aware of something else.
