Danika cut him off, her expression indifferent.
Graham sighed and glanced at Danika, then at Jolene.
Shaking his head helplessly, he said nothing more and left the room.He silently thought that Danika was right.He couldn’t keep helping Jolene forever.
No matter what awaited Jolene when she moved in with James this time, she should bear the consequences herself.
After Graham left, Jolene suddenly felt a little doubtful.
She looked at Danika and asked, “Why didn’t you stop me from moving in with James?”
“Why should I stop you? You’re already engaged.It’s not wrong to live together.”
Danika smiled.
If they were an ordinary engaged couple, nothing would be wrong with it.But were Jolene and James an ordinary engaged couple? Clearly, they weren’t.
Can’t Compare to Her
Jolene became even more suspicious when she heard that.She felt that something was off.
“I’m telling you, I’m James’ fianc茅e now.He won’t let you off if you dare to plot against me behind my back.” Danika smirked.
“You’re overthinking it.I have no intention to plot against you.”
Danika knew James’ personality quite well and knew that Jolene would be in for a miserable time after she moved in with him.
As such, Danika didn’t need to plot against her at all.
“Really?”
Jolene couldn’t believe it.
Danika nodded and said, “Hurry up and pack.Don’t keep your fianc茅 waiting.”
“Okay.”
Jolene nodded, thinking it made sense as she turned to continue packing her things.
Throughout their conversation, Rowena silently stood on one side, staring at Danika suspiciously.
Under normal circumstances, Danika should have stopped Jolene.
After all, if Jolene and James’ relationship escalated, it wouldn’t be good for her.
Could it be that she was quite certain that Jolene and James wouldn’t develop feelings for each other? Thinking of it, Rowena felt pensive.In fact, it had always been her concern.
After Danika left, Rowena couldn’t hold back any longer and said, “Jo, why don’t you consider this more carefully? I have a hunch that James is up to no good by asking you to move in with him right now.”
“Mom, we’re already engaged.He wouldn’t think of harming me, would he?”
Jolene asked as she continued to pack her things.She thought that her mother was overthinking it.
Now that she was James’ fianc茅e, it was reasonable for him to ask her to move in with him to show that he cared about her.
“But you saw his attitude during the engagement banquet.He clearly doesn’t like you, but he asked you to move in with him out of the blue.Isn’t that strange?”
When James messaged Jolene and asked her to move in with him, Rowena was very shocked.
But her daughter was stubborn and wouldn’t listen no matter what she said.
Jolene fell silent for a moment.She also felt that James’ attitude had changed too quickly.
Nevertheless, she gritted her teeth as if she had made up her mind.
“No matter what his reasons are, I only have one goal: to make him fall in love with me.Mom, I know you’re worried, but if I don’t move in with him now and be with him, how can we develop feelings for each other? I don’t want to end up like you and Dad.You may be husband and wife, but you treat each other like enemies.”
Jolene’s words pierced right into Rowena’s heart.
She said it without any consideration for her mother’s feelings at all.It made Rowena a little upset.
“Suit yourself then.Don’t come crying to me when you’re mistreated in the future,” Rowena said, tired of talking.
After all, Jolene wouldn’t listen to her now and even said hurtful things to her, so it wasn’t worth her time.
She thought she should prioritize herself now since Jolene had found somewhere to settle down.
There was nothing worth staying for in the Zellweger family anymore.
Jolene quickly finished packing her things and left.
Danika sat in the living room and watched her leave with a smile on her face.
Not to mention Graham, even Rowena didn’t seem to have the intention to see her off.
The scene was quite interesting.
After making sure that Jolene had really left, Danika stretched her body.
With one annoying person gone, her mood improved a lot.
However…
Her gaze fell on Rowena, who was sitting opposite her.
There was still another person here, and she was the more difficult one to deal with.
Danika felt she couldn’t let her guard down so soon.
Sensing Danika’s gaze, Rowena looked at her and said, “You must be happy now that Jo has moved out.”
“In terms of happiness, I think I can’t compare to her,” Danika replied with a smile leisurely, wanting to see what Rowena was going to say.
We Shall See
Rowena snorted coldly.
It was obvious to her that Danika had some ulterior motives.
“Don’t be too proud.Even if Jo moves out, you won’t be the one calling the shots here.As long as I’m here, I’m the lady of this house!”
“It’s okay.That won’t be the case soon.”
According to Graham’s plan, he would soon hand over the Zellweger family to her.
At that time, Rowena wouldn’t be the lady of the house anymore.
Rowena’s expression changed slightly as she struggled to control her anger.
“Is that so? We shall wait and see.”
“Sure, let’s wait and see.”
Danika wasn’t afraid of her either.
Both of them returned to their respective rooms.
Just as Danika was curious about what Rowena would do, she heard footsteps downstairs.
She walked to the balcony and happened to see Rowena leaving Zellweger Castle.She wondered where she was going at such an hour.
After some thought, Danika took out her phone and made a call.
“Help me keep an eye on Rowena.I want to know who she’s meeting.She was definitely meeting up with someone at this hour, but who could it be? Meanwhile, at James’ villa, Jolene arrived at the door with her luggage.
The driver helped her unload the luggage and left.She rang the doorbell, and it took a while for someone to open the door.It was an old maid, probably one of the staff at the villa.
“Are you Miss Jolene?”
“Yes, where’s James?” Jolene asked.
“Mr.Windsor hasn’t returned yet,” the maid answered.
Jolene frowned, feeling unhappy.
Today was the day of her engagement with James.
Why wasn’t he back when it was so already late? “Take my luggage inside, and then prepare some soup so we can have it when James returns.”
She gave orders like she owned the place and proceeded to walk in.
But the maid didn’t move, and she said to Jolene, “Mr.Windsor has instructed that since you want to be the lady of this house, then you must do everything yourself.”
“What?” Jolene thought she must have misheard.
The maid ignored her and continued, “After I give you the key, I’ll leave.From now on, only you and Mr.Windsor will live here.”
“Hey, hold on—“
