Timothy hurried over. “Where to?” he asked Johanna after getting in the car.

“To the Jensen residence.”

“Why are we going to my house?” Timothy looked sideways at Johanna, but she was staring outside the window with her chin in her palm without paying him further attention.

There was nothing to do but start the car. He exited the residential area before heading toward the direction of the Jensen residence.

Along the way, Timothy shot frequent glances at Johanna in the passenger seat.

“I know you went drinking at the bar with Genevieve that night accompanied by a guy from public relations. I was jealous, and I went over to bring you home. I didn't intend to quarrel with you. Can you forgive me?

“Yes, I admit that Hector might be better than me. But do you know him well? The better one's character appears, the more frightening they actually are.

“You promised me that you won't take Asel away.”


Johanna's ears throbbed from his incessant chatter. Unable to take it anymore, she turned around to glare at him. “If you won't shut up, stop the car and let me get down.”

Timothy did not utter another word after that.

Meanwhile, the housekeeper of the Jensen residence glanced at the surveillance cameras when she heard the doorbell ring. Upon seeing that it was Timothy and Johanna, she threw open the entrance doors and headed to the living room to inform Jeremiah.

“Mr. Jensen, Mrs. Jensen. Mr. Timothy and Mdm. Johanna are back.”

Vanessa was reading international news on her tablet. Her finger on the tablet froze upon hearing the housekeeper's announcement, though she appeared otherwise imperturbed.

Timothy and Johanna soon arrived in the living room.

“Mr. Jensen,” Johanna greeted him before her gaze fell onto Vanessa. “Mrs. Jensen.”

Jeremiah nodded at Johanna. “Why isn't Asel with you?” he asked her.

“It isn't suitable to bring her as this isn't a family gathering.” Johanna smiled lightly. “I'm not here today to visit you. I'm here specifically for Mrs. Jensen.”

Vanessa put her tablet aside and met her gaze calmly. “What can I do for you?”

Johanna took out her phone and selected a photograph before placing it before Vanessa.

Timothy's sharp eyes caught the account number and found it familiar. He quickly recalled that it was the overseas account that had remitted money to Mindy. As he himself had been investigating the account, Timothy was shocked that the account belonged to Vanessa.
