Mrs. Marsh's Revealed Identities novel (Jennifer and Ivan) novel Chapter 172

In fact, Aubree had been watching Jennifer leave through the window of her bedroom. She didn't stop Jennifer as she was certain Jennifer would definitely return.

Once stepping out of Kelsington Bay, Jennifer felt the air was fresh. Her mood became better instantly.

She hailed a cab to Sunshine Village. Shortly after, she returned downtown.

Jennifer wanted to have a cup of coffee in a quiet cafe to relax.

As soon as she got off the taxi, she saw Mya leave the shopping mall. The latter also saw her with a glance.

"Jennifer? Ah!"

Mya trotted to Jennifer as if she had found a treasure.

Jennifer flinched out of start. Mya instantly stopped mid-step. "Why are you here? Long time no see!" Then her gaze fell on Jennifer's right cheek. Mya put away her smile and asked, "What happened to your cheek?" She looked shocked and worried.

"What?" Jennifer was surprised, wondering if the bruise was THAT evident. How did Mya notice it instantly?

"Tell me. Did Ivan hit you?" Mya's eyes were full of angry flames. "How dare he! Why do you look so haggard? What on earth has happened?"

"No, no, no." Jennifer took her arm and stopped her, "Shush." There were lots of people passing by.

On the LED screen outside the mall, a commercial just finished. And as the next video started to play, it showed to the public for the first time about Alice Edison's coming-of-age ceremony, the daughter of the successful businessman Mr. Edison.

Upon hearing the sweet voice of the news broadcaster, all the passersby were attracted. They looked up at the LED screen.

Jennifer and Mya were not exceptions.

The ceremony was grand. The vast castle manor looked just like those in the fairytale from the aerial view. It was grandeur.

The anchor added, "The president of the Marsh Group, Ivan Marsh, attended the coming-of-age ceremony with the vice president of his company, Catherine Collin. They are certainly eye-catching. They also brought along two lovely children. The two are like the supermodel duo in the business world. Mr. Marsh once praised Ms. Collins for her competence and mentioned she was his indispensable assistant. They just look harmonious together. But it's a pity that she isn't the mother of Mr. Marsh's children. However, the four looked like a family in the following photos. Those photos also raised a lot of attention in the foreign media."

Then, several photos were shown on the screen.

Jennifer looked at them. The four didn't just look like a family, but a happy family! They were smiling at the camera, including the children.

"What does he mean by this?" Mya couldn't bear it anymore, boiling with rage. "Did he cheat on you?" As she spoke, she fumbled for her phone in the handbag. "I must ask him. This jerk!"

"Mya!" Jennifer seized her wrist calmly. "You misunderstood him. The media loves stirring up rumors. That's how they attract more attention."

"Look at the photos. Are these rumors?" Mya couldn't calm down. "Those were shot in public. What about behind the curtain? Who knows if they have slept together on the same bed?"

Jennifer reasoned with her, "Would he take the children with him if he wanted to cheat on me? He went to their kindergarten and asked for leave in person. He insisted on taking them with him. If he did like Catherine, why haven't he married her when he's already 38 years old?"

Mya couldn't retort as her words made sense.

Jennifer added, "If there was something between them for real, they would've been together long ago, and I wouldn't have the chance to marry Ivan."

Mya was convinced.

"What happened to your face, then?" Mya felt sorry for her. "Also, the corner of your mouth. Not even the concealer could cover the bruises."

"Are they that evident?" Jennifer was worried as Ivan would return the following day.

"Tell me, Jennifer!" Mya was so anxious. She asked, "What happened? Does it have anything to do with him? Who bullied you? Tell me. I'm gonna avenge you."
