Chapter 1411
Hearing Jarvis say that, Hannah let out a sigh of relief, âTII send you the address right now. Iâm about to meet Daniela in ten minutes. I figure I can keep her busy during the time, so youâve got to get here in twenty or Iâll be toast.â
Jarvis said, âIf I say Iâll be there, then Iâll be on the dot.â
Hannah said, âMy knight in shining armor, all my hopes are riding on you.â
Jarvis said, âDonât worry!
Getting a solid confirmation from Jarvis, Hannah knew he would come. But what she didnât expect was what Jarvis would say in front of Daniela. Everyone thought she wasnât good enough for Steven, they all called her shameless, and even she herself thought she had sold herself to get what she had now.
Yet, there was this one guy, who defended her with a firm voice. He told her that her relationship with Steven was consensual, that no one was superior or inferior. For a moment, her image of Jarvis seemed even greater.
Danielaâs face twisted with rage at Jarvisâs words, âJarvis, youâre a man. Do you know what youâre saying?â
Jarvis said, âWhat does being a man have to do with it? Youâre a woman. Does that mean you can bully a girl?â
Daniela was furious, âYou!â
Jarvis continued, âGuys can play the field, and youâd say theyâre just having fun. But if a woman does something, youâd call her cheap and shameless. Wake up, itâs not the dark ages anymore.â
Daniela said, âThis woman seduced Steven, using her body to get things she never could have had. Isnât that cheap and shameless?â
Jarvis said, âIf you want to go there, letâs get one thing straight. When my girlfriend, Hannah, was with Steven, he was single, right?â
Daniela was speechless. Steven was indeed single at that time. In fact, he had always been single before he met Hannah. He never admitted to the arranged marriage that his and her parents had set up. He even told her early on that he couldnât marry her, and he only had familial feelings for her.
After realizing that she had no hope, she got herself a boyfriend and declared that she didnât need Steven or their arranged marriage. Because she spread false news, and Steven didnât refute it, the rumor became more real, so much so that she herself started to believe that she was the woman Steven couldnât get. Jarvis continued, âSteven was single and so was Hannah, so whatâs wrong with them choosing to be together? The problem lies with you people and your thinking. In our modern society, we emphasize equality among all individuals, between men and women. Women can also be independent. Why should they bear such heavy responsibility for the same thing?â

In Danielaâs mind, Jarvis was not a talkative person. His lengthy speech today was exhausting to her, she didnât want to hear him go on, âI donât want to argue with you anymore. Brant, letâs go.â
She immediately got up and Brant quickly followed, âMiss, if we donât take action against Hannah today, when Steven comes back, we wonât have a chance. As long as Hannahâs around, Stevenâs heart will never be fully yours.â
Daniela glared at him, âYou think I donât want to take action? Now Jarvis wants to protect her.â
Brant didnât take Jarvis seriously, âMiss, whatâs the big deal if Jarvis wants to protect her? As long as we act first and deal with Hannah, would the Alexander family really turn against us over an actress?â
Daniela stopped in her tracks. Seeing that she was wavering, Brant continued, âMiss, Stevenâs not here, and Hannah canât reach him. This is our only chance. If we donât act against Hannah now, when Steven comes back and finds out the truth, he might tighten his protection of her, or even take action against us. Itâll be a lot harder to deal with Hannah then.â
Daniela turned to look at the closed door, âThis is my only chance. I have to seize it.â
Before, she tried to take action against Hannah, but was stopped by Steven before she could start. This time, she decided to make her move while Steven was in Europe for a meeting.
