Chapter 1371: Chapter 1584

Prison is where you belong.

”

“ihat?” Dr@per broke down, pleading through tears, “I’m sorry.

If you’re not pleased, I can apologize to the Turner family again.

ALL I ask for is to be given one more chance!”

Presley interjected fiercely, “Get lost! We will never accept your apology!”

Hilliard chimed in, “You heard that, right? Mrs.

Turner has refused to forgive you.

Leave this place immediately.

”

“Mr.

Simmons…”

The police officers promptly handcuffed Dr@per and escorted him out.

As his voice faded, an eerie silence enveloped the Turner family’s living room.

Hilliard cleared his throat and cautiously addressed Mario, “Mr.

Turner, now that Jennifer is single again, what are your plans regarding her marriage?”

Mario and Presley exchanged knowing glances.

They understood that Hilliard had gone to great lengths to sever Jennifer’s engagement with Dr@per because he had feelings for her.

With a sly smile, Mario replied, “I haven’t made any plans for that at the moment.

If you have any recommendations, please feel free to share them.

I will certainly consider your input.

”

Everything played out exactly as Cyrus had planned.

Hilliard’s normally cold countenance broke into a rare smile.

He gazed at Mario with determination and said, “Sir, truth be told, I have feelings for Jennifer…”

“Dad.

”

Before he could finish his sentence, Jennifer stood up and interjected, “I’m in low spirits after ending the engagement.

I’m not in the mood to enter a new relationship.

Dad, I hope you won’t pressure me.

”

Clearly, Jennifer was conveying her reluctance to marry Hilliard with her words.

This made Hilliard’s expression shift slightly.

Mario, known for his ability to read people, chimed in, “Jennifer, it’s just an engagement.

I’m not asking you to marry Mr.

Simmons immediately.

First, get engaged to him, go on dates, and build a bond.

You can get married whenever you’re ready.

”

“But I’m not interested in a relationship at the moment.

” she said in a firm tone, “This past year has been overwhelming.

Right now, I’m focused on working hard to become a competent successor to the Turner Group.

”

With that, she turned and ascended the stairs without turning back.

She went into her room and slammed shut her door.

The living room was completely quiet again.

Mario and Presley exchanged glances, then turned their attention to Hilliard, who bent his head in deep thought.

“Mr.

Simmons, do you truly like Jennifer?” Presley asked.

Hilliard replied in a hushed tone, “Yes, I do.

But my past actions deeply hurt her.

She hasn’t forgiven me, and I understand.

”
