Jenny drifted away from his grandfather the moment she heard Those unpleasant words coming out from his mouth. She was frightened to find out the reason behind what he did. “But father, you promised to give me everything I wanted! You promised to give the world to me so why have you given the company to Stefan when you know how much I cherish it”. Kendrick couldn’t disagree that he had raised Jenny to be one of a spoiled brat. He couldn’t ignore her or leave her to his useless father who goes around womanizing women after the early death of her mother, his daughter. Jenny’s mother died when she was a child, leaving her for Kendrick to take care of since he couldn’t leave her to meet her useless father who had another wife. So from that day, he promised to give her a better life by raising her to be one of the most successful business women the country could ever know. “I’m sorry that I couldn’t fulfill your wish this time around but you can ask for another thing sweetie, and I make sure I grant you everything you ask for this time around apart from the company which I had already given Stefan, your blood cousin and…..!!!
“Point of corrections grandpa, Stefan isn’t my cousin okay! I don’t even know him! I have no business to deal with his father so please don’t call his name again because I will do everything I can to take that company from him”. Jenny interrupted him as he sat down frustratedly, not knowing what to do. He doesn’t just know why Jenny can’t just understand that he can’t give her everything. She should understand that he has other grandchildren from his child, so she shouldn’t be the only one to inherit his property.
“Jenny!!!” He held her hands as he bellowed at her, causing waves of emotions to run down her spine. “You know how much I treasure you and how I’m willing to give you anything you want but you should understand that I have other children and grandchildren just like you! I can’t abandon them Just to please you, okay?! Stefan was the son of Smith, my First child who died three years ago. So how do you expect me to abandon Stefan after all those years he had been living in the street with no one to care for himself before Alexander Black came to adopt him into marrying his granddaughter”. Jenny only burst into tears when Kendrick roared those words at her in anger.
“I think you should thank Stefan gracefully for saving your Life by agreeing to donate blood for you instead of being envious of him because of the company he inherited from me”. Kendrick retorted those words at her then walked away the moment he noticed the sympathy and remorseful look on her face. He didn’t give her the chance to apologize because he couldn’t stand her actions right now.
Jenny cried silently then cleaned off her tears as she got up from her feet. She can’t let this kill her spirit. She gotta cheer up, at least she still has a food company which she raised by herself.
