Devoted Love:The Billionaire's Precious Wife-Chapter 600

"Yes, yes, indeed, Myrna was out of line. She just got home and I gave her a good scolding. She knows she messed up now—causing all that ruckus at the McMillian Corporation, disturbing all the security officers, and wrecking Romeo’s office."

Jennifer dismissively stated, "Well, that’s not the issue. What bothers me is how Myrna kept accusing my daughter-in-law of being a thief, tarnishing her with allegations of theft. What would the Collins family think?

They are wealthy and influential. Would they need to resort to theft?"

"Yes, yes, it’s all Myrna’s nonsense. I’m here to apologize. That girl’s been spoiled since she was little."

Adrian was about to express his apology, but Jennifer cut him off with her leisurely voice.

"We, the McMillian family, don’t need your apologies. I heard from others that when Myrna was apologizing to my daughter-in-law, she glared at her, as if warning her. My daughter-in-law is innocent. She’s never been through anything like this. Look at the mess that has been caused now."

"That damned girl. I’ll discipline her later and bring Myrna to the Collins family to apologize to Ms. Collins."

Adrian hadn’t expected his daughter to be so reckless and foolish, nearly ruining the relationship between the two families. He quickly tried to make amends.

"Adrian, you know how much the Collins family spoils their daughter. If you show up with Myrna, and Kenneth and Louisa find out that someone has been bullying their darling daughter behind their backs... You know the consequences as well as I do."

"Yes, yes, this was all Myrna’s fault. I feel guilty too. How about this—Is Ms. Collins still at McMillian Corporation? I’ll bring Myrna over this afternoon to apologize to Ms. Collins in person."

"No need. My daughter-in-law is still shocked," Jennifer said, her voice casual. "I’m going to comfort her now. Goodbye."

After hanging up, Jennifer broke into a smile, confident and triumphant.

"Let them stew in their panic for a few days, then we’ll deal with them properly. Rose, eat, darling. The food’s getting cold. Why don’t you try the cafeteria’s food?"

The tone she used when talking to Adrian was vastly different from how she addressed Rosemary.

Rosemary, witnessing Jennifer’s swift change in demeanor, couldn’t help but laugh. She took a bite and said, "It’s delicious. You should eat too."

"Being able to share a meal with my darling daughter-in-law makes me so happy!" Jennifer kept loading Rosemary’s plate with food. "I really made the right choice coming here today."

Rosemary also served her some food, leaving Jennifer touched.

"My darling Rose is really considerate and thoughtful—unlike having a son who’s as wooden as a log." freёnovelkiss.com

"Who brought you your utensils just now?"

"What? I’ve raised you with so much effort, and you’re complaining about bringing me utensils?"

Romeo turned to his beloved wife, seemingly seeking her help.

Rosemary laughed, "Jennifer is right. She raised you with so much effort, getting her utensils is the least you could do."

Jennifer grinned triumphantly, as if she’d just been backed up, and her spirits lifted.

"Whatever Rose says, goes." Romeo couldn’t argue back. "You’re always right."

At this point, Rebecca had sent Jennifer several voice messages, which Jennifer deliberately ignored. Rebecca switched to typing, sending message after message, expressing her remorse and her desire to make amends.

Jennifer was busy pampering her daughter-in-law with food and drinks, completely ignoring Rebecca—shocking all the onlookers on the first floor.

"Mrs. McMillian was supposed to be here to drive away the flock of women around Mr. McMillian, but it looks like a family enjoying a meal together."

"Did anyone notice that they really look like a family? Mr. McMillian and that girl look like a married couple, and Mrs. McMillian seems like the mother-in-law."

"Wouldn’t it be great to have a mother-in-law like that? Look how she keeps serving that girl, as if she already approves of her. Who is that girl anyway? She’s so lucky."

"And what about Serena?"

"Yeah, what about the bond between the Collins and the McMillian families? Is Mr. McMillian disregarding it? Does the engagement of Serena and Mr. McMillian mean nothing?"

While they were gossiping, they noticed the Deputy Director of Procurement approaching. Everyone quickly hushed and pretended to be engrossed in their meals.

The Deputy Director glanced up at the second floor and found it strange too. By all accounts, Romeo and Serena were engaged. He shouldn’t publicly dote on another girl.

And on top of that, Jennifer was there—treating the girl as if she were her future daughter-in-law.

The Deputy Director sent a text, then left.

"She’s gone. Phew. Her daughter and Serena are best friends. Do you think she’s going to tell her daughter about this?"

"Maybe. If Serena hears about this, won’t she be devastated? Is their engagement still valid?"

"Who would’ve thought that this girl’s first visit would cause such a stir?"

"Isn’t this her second visit? The other day, I was discussing work with Carl when he received a phone call. He looked surprised and pleased, then told the garage security to look out for a red sports car arriving in five minutes."

"Then what?" Everyone immediately gathered around the speaker, eager to hear more gossip.

Seeing the interest, the woman continued, "That day, Mr. McMillian was in a meeting, and Carl personally went to Mr. McMillian’s private garage to meet her. They were originally going to take Mr. McMillian’s private elevator up, but a new employee didn’t know that only Mr. McMillian could use it and pressed the button. When the elevator rose from the basement to the first floor, the doors opened. Carl was very respectful and polite to the girl, who was stunningly beautiful. I remember her clearly—and it’s her!"

"So she’s visited the company before? We just didn’t know because she was so discreet."

"Last time, she had a document in her hand. I thought she was from another company to discuss cooperation with Mr. McMillian. I didn’t expect her to be Mr. McMillian’s girlfriend."

Upon saying this, the woman sighed, feeling as if she had just suffered a breakup. She had always secretly had a crush on Mr. McMillian. She fancied herself as the heroine in a drama, hoping to catch Mr. McMillian’s eye.

But now her dreams were shattered.

"Well, at least they’re both attractive and well-mannered. Unlike the celebrity I like, who suddenly ruined his reputation. He seemed pure and charismatic, but it turned out he was a womanizer."

"Oh, I know who you’re talking about! The guy who was trending on Twitter today, right?"

"You saw the news too?"

"Let’s hug it out, girl. Some celebrities just don’t value their reputation. We just need to find someone else to admire!"
