Devoted Love:The Billionaire's Precious Wife
Chapter 387

Chapter 387: Chapter 387

Phillip nodded in satisfaction. "That girl, whether in looks or personality, doesn’t have a single flaw."

Jennifer glanced at George. She had originally thought that if Romeo didn’t like her or if Phillip wasn’t satisfied, she could take the opportunity to recommend Melody. But it looked like Romeo and Melody just weren’t meant to be.

"Dad, we’ve never seen you praise someone like this before," George said. He didn’t expect that a young girl could earn such praise from his father.

"She’s really outstanding—pretty and well-behaved, talented and modest, filial and kind." In short, she was satisfactory in every way. Every time Phillip thought of her, he couldn’t help but smile.

George glanced at Jennifer. He didn’t expect his dad to be so satisfied with that girl.

"We also met a very talented girl on our way here. We really liked her, but unfortunately, she already has a boyfriend," George said regretfully.

"No kid we meet on the street can be as good as our own," Phillip replied.

Just as Phillip finished speaking, George’s phone began to vibrate. "It’s Romeo."

After answering the call, George announced somewhat unexpectedly, "Romeo says he wants to book a private room tonight, and he’s bringing that girl to meet us."

Was this their icy son actively suggesting this?

"Jennifer, pinch me," George said, clearly unable to believe it. Not until Jennifer pinched his arm and he covered it in pain. "Jennifer, be gentle."

"If I don’t make you feel pain, you’ll think this is a dream," Jennifer replied. She didn’t expect their son to actually like that girl, and he even proactively suggested bringing her to meet them.

A girl that can satisfy both Romeo and Phillip must either be very excellent or not simple.

The next afternoon.

As Jennifer was trying on clothes, George knocked on the door and entered, helping her zip up the back.

"Jennifer, it was confirmed—it was indeed your friend who poisoned you," George said.

He deliberately observed his wife’s reaction when he mentioned this. Seeing that she didn’t seem sad at all, he continued, "The person has been brought here, and she’s on the basement level."

"Got it," Jennifer replied. Dressed in a beautiful fishtail dress, looking slim and dignified, she told George’s parents before heading to the basement, "I have some issues to deal with. Don’t panic if you hear any noise."

Phillip, aware of someone trying to poison her and that the person had been brought to the basement, nodded. "Don’t worry, we’re old, so we won’t hear."

Jennifer arrived at the basement level.

The light coming in through six skylights made the lobby look brighter and more imposing. Four bodyguards stood in a row, and the lady standing in front of them looked a bit panicked.

Jennifer, slender and elegant, walked towards Wendy Brook step by step.

"Hello, Jennifer!" the four bodyguards greeted in unison.

Seeing the woman walking towards her in a beautiful long dress with her face noble, Wendy was taken aback. Over the years, Jennifer had always maintained such refinement and elegance.

Jennifer was already very beautiful before marriage, and life after marriage made her even more mature and charming. Her every move was full of grace.

"Wendy has been my good friend for twenty years. Why did you tie her up as soon as she arrived?" Jennifer said to the bodyguards with a smile. "Untie her quickly."

"Alright, Jennifer," the bodyguard said, untying the rope from Wendy’s hands.

Wendy rubbed her wrists and hurriedly stepped forward. "Jennifer, you know you can always just call me if you need anything. But by doing this, people might think I’ve done something to piss you off."

Jennifer laughed elegantly. "So, have you done something?"

Wendy paused, feeling uneasy. "Jennifer, I don’t know what you’re talking about."

"After you arrived, I didn’t offer you a coffee. I suppose you’ve tasted enough good coffee. Today, I had a fruit wine made for you with C30."

Upon hearing C30 and fruit wine, Wendy became more uneasy.

No way.

It’s been a few days. How could Jennifer suddenly find her and know that she used C30 in the fruit wine?

"I heard this stuff enhances the taste of the fruit wine," Jennifer said, smiling charmingly.

She glanced at the servant, who promptly brought the fruit wine on a tray to Wendy.

Wendy was scared. "Jennifer, you must have misunderstood something."

"It seems our twenty-year friendship does mean something to you; otherwise, you wouldn’t have spent half a million on this stuff and mixed it in the fruit wine. Don’t worry, as a friend, I won’t take advantage of you. I understand the concept of reciprocation."

At this point, even Wendy had enough sense to realize she was in danger.

Jennifer must have enough evidence; that’s why she brought her here. It was pointless to argue now!

"Jennifer, listen to me. It was all an impulsive decision. My son told me that Romeo wouldn’t give him the land in Oakridge City. I thought, with our years of friendship, why would Romeo rather give it to someone else than to us."

Tears welled up in Wendy’s eyes. "I always thought our friendship was stronger than gold, but I was wrong. My son approached Romeo several times, but he wouldn’t budge and didn’t explain why. I even talked to you, but you said the kids are grown up and you can’t intervene too much, so I felt resentful."

Since Romeo was always cautious and surrounded by powerful people, Wendy could only take her revenge on the innocent Jennifer.

At the wedding of Wendy’s son, Jennifer was dressed simply, but her beautiful face and unique charm made Wendy feel inferior. This made her even more uncomfortable.

"It was those servants who gave me the idea, so I..." Wendy tried to hug Jennifer to express their deep sisterhood, but four bodyguards immediately blocked her.

All she could do was wipe her tears. "Jennifer, I was wrong."

"Of course you were wrong," Jennifer said, her eyes bright and calm. "The land has issues. Romeo used it to deceive his competitors. Actually, he was doing it for your own good."

She only found out about this today.

But at that time, Romeo didn’t tell his family or the Brook family. He was worried the news would spread and his competitors wouldn’t fall for it.

"If you truly trusted our twenty-year friendship, you should know that Romeo and I are both very sentimental people."
