Chapter 294 Oh, Shut Up!

Over lunch, Felicity's eyes were glued to Alec, which embarrassed her father to no end. David struck up a conversation to suppress his anger. "Jenny, how long will you stay?"

Jenny looked up at him. "Uncle David, I'm here to pick up Justin and Lilian. We'll head back to Parrington tomorrow."

"Oh, that's a little rushed! Don't you want to stay a few more days since you've traveled all the He sounded disappointed. way here?"

Before Jenny could reply, Hannah scoffed, "She's a city girl now. She wouldn't want to live in the village." "Oh! Shut up!" David bellowed. "Jenny isn't like that."

"Aunt Hannah, no matter where I live now, Orchid Village will always be home." Jenny smiled at her, ignoring the mockery.

Hannah smirked but fell silent after David glared at her. Still, she was spiteful at Jenny's success. She was unhappy at how her father-in-law raised Jenny by his side, nurturing her and paying for her studies and talent classes. Not only that, he had arranged Jenny's marriage to an allegedly rich family in Parrington before his death. Meanwhile, Hannah stewed in resentment and jealousy as Felicity received nothing. After lunch, David requested Jenny to bring Alec around the village. Felicity interjected, "How about! bring him around? Jenny's looking for the two kids, isn't she? She can go ahead." During their short meeting, Felicit looked into Alec's background online because he seemed familiar. Her jaw fell at the search results. She learned that Alec was the CEO of Faust Group and the wealthiest man in Parrington. She'd wallow in regret if she let this handsome and rich man slip through her fingers.

Jenny glanced at Felicity and immediately knew what she was up to. She agreed, "Sure. You should bring Alec around." Her words made Alec whip his head and shoot her a warning look. Jenny chuckled dryly and shrugged. "Well, Alec, Felicity is just being nice to you. I can't possibly turn her down. What do your think?"

"Let's go together." Alec ignored her excuse. He had absolutely no interest in Felicity Wilkins; he wouldn't have given her the time of day if she wasn't Jenny's cousin.

"Alec..." Felicity purred.

"Let's get moving. We'll look for Justin and Lilian." Refusing to listen to another word from Felicity, he stood up and walked out of the house. Jenny was next, and Felicity followed behind her with gritted teeth. With the three gone, only David and Hannah were left in the house. "Look at your daughter!" he chided." She's drooling at the sight of men! How inappropriate!"

"And whose fault is that?" She rolled her eyes at her husband, thinking that Felicity was not in the wrong." Your dad is to blame. Why didn't he arrange a marriage for Felicity while he was at it? Jenny's younger than Felicity, so why did she get married before Felicity? That's pure favoritism!"

David felt a headache coming on. "How many times do I have to tell you? My dad did not arrange Jenny's marriage. Jenny had been engaged to the son of that family early on! Got it?"

"I don't care! Anyway, you need to put in more effort for Felicity's marriage. You'd better ask Jenny to find her a rich family from Parrington. Felicity's destined to be the wife of a rich man-she's not going to marry a useless bum as I did!" Hannah was blunt and rude, and her words were filled with her disdain for David.
