The Headline Queen: President Hawthorne is Her Die-Hard Fan!-Chapter 496: Leaving Soon

But Renee Raines quickly calmed down. She couldn’t let Jordan Yorke see her excitement.

So Renee’s eyes reddened as she looked at Jordan Yorke.

"Brother Yorke, whose room is this? Do you already have a girlfriend? Have you been lying to me all along?"

Jordan hurried to explain, "No, no, Renee, you are my only girlfriend, there’s no one else, I really have nothing to do with Penelope. You have to believe me..."

Renee was originally just putting on an act to coax Jordan into saying the house was carefully prepared for her.

However, she ended up hearing a strange woman’s name from his mouth, and her face truly darkened.

"Brother Yorke, who is Penelope? Do you really have another woman? Have you been lying to me all along?"

Tears dropped down her face, "To think I trusted you so much, believing you were working hard for our future, but you actually... how could you do this to me?"

Faced with such tearful accusations, Jordan got really anxious, afraid Renee would misunderstand and break up with him.

"Renee, let me explain, I really haven’t lied to you, I have nothing to do with Penelope, she is just, just..."

Penelope Thatcher is the owner of this house, so she lives here, and this bedroom is also hers.

Yet he couldn’t bring himself to say that.

Telling one lie requires countless more to cover it up.

He scratched his head and said, "Actually, Penelope is just a friend, I wanted to set up a room you’d like, so I used her as a reference, and then she temporarily stayed here..."

Renee wasn’t exactly upset at being deceived by Jordan.

She felt Jordan was already wrapped around her finger and absolutely wouldn’t lie to her.

She just felt that the place Jordan arranged for her to be her castle was being occupied by another woman before she even got to move in.

There were already traces of another woman here, which made her uncomfortable.

Seeing Renee’s silence, Jordan felt she was still upset and got even more worried.

"Renee, believe me, I’m really not lying to you, everything I said is true, I, I, I..."

Seeing how anxious Jordan was, Renee finally spoke, "Brother Yorke, don’t worry, I’m not mad at you. I know you wouldn’t lie to me. I trust you."

She hugged Jordan, "But Brother Yorke, this is supposed to be my house, and I haven’t even seen it yet, but you let another woman live here first, under the same roof as you. Don’t you know I would get jealous?"

Jordan said, "It’s my fault, Penelope just, she temporarily had nowhere to go, so I let her stay here for a few days, I was too soft-hearted. Renee, please don’t be mad at me..."

Renee smiled weakly, "Brother Yorke, you’re too soft-hearted. This won’t work, especially with women. You’re so outstanding, if you’re soft-hearted, women will easily fall for you. What am I supposed to do then?"

Jordan chuckled foolishly, "Then I-I won’t be soft-hearted with other women anymore. I’ll only be soft-hearted with Renee."

Renee bit her lip, "What are you going to do about this Penelope? Are you going to let her keep living here?"

Jordan didn’t know what to do either. Should he drive Penelope out?

Although he really wanted to and didn’t like her encroaching on his territory, he didn’t have the courage to kick her out.

"Brother Yorke, I know this is difficult for you. It’s okay, I can endure a bit of grievance..."

This woman called Penelope might have seen Jordan as a potential prospect and therefore clung to him, refusing to leave. Now living in his house, spending his money, using everything he prepared for her, how can this be?

If she doesn’t come up with a plan, she might let this woman win.

After working so hard to make Jordan love her, how can she let another woman cut in?

Seeing Renee still very concerned, Jordan couldn’t care less about anything else and just wanted to make her happy.

"Renee, don’t worry, once she finds a place, I’ll have her move out. From now on, this house will only be for you. I won’t let another woman step in here."

With Jordan’s promise, Renee felt somewhat relieved.

She no longer held onto this matter and said, "Brother Yorke, can I touch the things inside?"

Since it was all claimed to be prepared for Renee, could he stop her?

So Jordan nodded, "Of course you can, all this was intended for you. I’m glad you like it."

"Thank you, Brother Yorke, I have never seen so many clothes and shoes. You’re so good to me."

Saying this, she started browsing the closet, touching things as she went.

The materials were all high-quality, and the clothes were all designer brands.

Jordan indeed dedicated himself to her, but knowing these clothes might have been touched by that woman called Penelope made her a bit disgusted, thinking she must throw them all away once she marries Jordan.

If Penelope liked them, she could gift them to her.

Jordan followed behind Renee, making her promises.

"Renee, in the future, I’ll earn much more money for you, so you can buy the clothes you love most!"

Since he had promised Renee, she probably wouldn’t mind his deception today.

Besides, he would eventually be able to give everything to her.

Renee knew him and would understand.

But Renee sensibly said, "What are you saying, Brother Yorke? While I do like pretty clothes, it’s enough as long as they are wearable. Earning money isn’t easy. How can I squander your money like that? I am with you for who you are and how well you treat me. I wouldn’t care even if you didn’t buy me clothes."

She added, "Moreover, these clothes are too expensive. Earning money to buy these would make you very tired. How could I bear to have you exhausted like that? As long as we can make ends meet, I don’t care about the rest."

Jordan was deeply moved.

He always knew Renee wasn’t someone who cared about material possessions.

"Okay, Renee, I’ll do as you say."

After finishing her tour of the closet, Renee flopped onto the big bed.

"Wow, this bed is so soft, Brother Yorke. If we could sleep in such comfort in the future..."

Saying this, she realized her words might be inappropriate, and her face flushed red.

"Brother Yorke, don’t misunderstand. I just misspoke, I didn’t mean anything else..."

Jordan nodded, "I know, Renee..."

Renee was a good girl, he should respect her.

So as long as Renee wasn’t willing, he wouldn’t have any premarital relationship with her.

However, Renee’s red, blushing cheeks made him feel restless, though he dared not act on it.

Suddenly, Renee asked, "Brother Yorke, was this bed also bought by that woman Penelope?"

Jordan nodded, "As a man, I don’t understand these things, she bought everything."

So wasn’t Penelope decorating this bedroom entirely according to her own wishes? Weren’t all these things what Penelope liked?

Renee was a bit upset again.

She had never seen such a shameless woman, knowing this was Renee’s room, yet Penelope had decorated it without consulting her?

Jordan was too honest to have delegated everything to a woman like that.

"So, Brother Yorke, how long are you going to keep her here?"

"Not for long, Renee, rest assured, she’ll leave soon."
