Changing Only For Her Novel

After listening to what the person said on the phone, Jennifer lapsed into a glum silence.

Ha! How audacious of Sophie to think she can wipe out Whitley Group from Jipsdale! Is she tired of living? I can’t believe such shameless women still exist in this world. The ladies from other prestigious families in Jipsdale aren’t even as arrogant as her for goodness’ sake!

“There’s no need to fret, Ms. Whitley! This time around, Tanner Group is done for!” the caller reassured.

“Okay, I got it. Let me know if anything else crops up at the Department of Justice. Don’t worry. You’ll be paid accordingly. I won’t shortchange you,” Jennifer replied.

After all, there was no such thing as a free lunch, especially when she needed a member of the Department of Justice to work with her.

“But you have to remember not to let anyone get the dirt on you! Otherwise, we’ll both be dead meat!” she reminded before hanging up the phone.

Timothy had rushed back from Ospea the moment he learned about his daughter’s shenanigans, and as luck would have it, he overheard her entire phone conversation from the door.

“Jennifer Whitley, you’ve truly let me down! Do you know what you’re doing? You’re breaking the law!” Timothy scolded as he shook his head.

Try as he might, he couldn’t understand why his daughter had become so atrocious.

Despite knowing how disappointed her father was, Jennifer still failed to see the error of her ways.

“I haven’t done anything, Dad. I just—”
