I Became His Sweetheart

Chapter 75 The slap hit Jennifer hard, catching her off guard and sending her tumbling to the ground.

“You're such a jinx, bringing disgrace to our family! How did | end up with such a foolish child like you?” Kennedy shouted angrily as he pointed at her.

Jennifer wiped the blood from her lip, enduring the pain as she tried to get up. After trying twice but failing, she settled on sitting down.

“Dad, what do you mean?”

“Are you still trying to play dumb?” Kennedy was enraged. “Did you think | can’t figure out the truth? You bought the knockoff gown and sent it to Sheena, and you were also the one who planned the online assault! What’s your problem with Sheena? Why do you want to frame her so badly?”

Jennifer sat weakly on the floor, staying silent.

Seeing her stay quiet, Kennedy grew angrier. “I'd let it slide if your little scheme succeeded, but now you're exposed and in turn tarnished the reputation of our family. You’re such a bumbling buffoon!”Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

Vanessa watched the scene with amusement, chiming in every now and then. “Oh dear, calm down. It’s not worth getting yourself worked up and letting this affect your health. After all, Jennifer is your illegitimate daughter, so she only knows how to use those lowly schemes. You can’t compare her to our clever Hannah.”

Kennedy’s disdain for Jennifer deepened upon hearing Vanessa’s words. “I should have never let you live!”

As Jennifer listened to their verbal abuse, a bitter irony filled her heart. Kennedy was her biological father, yet he seemed to wish for her immediate demise.

Jennifer struggled to stand. Despite her swollen left cheek, she lifted her chin proudly and her eyes flashed with a sinister glint.

“What a shame. Even though you hate me, you still need me to help the Moore family. Does the thought of that infuriate you even more?”

“Jennifer!” Kennedy's eyes widened in fury, raising his hand to slap Jennifer again.

Instead of flinching, Jennifer leaned forward and mocked, “Go ahead and hit me! It would be best if you killed me. That way, the Moore family can eagerly await its fall from grace among the elite. Remember this! The downfall of the Moore family rests squarely on your shoulders. | can only imagine how you would feel!”

Kennedy was caught off guard by her piercing words. His face flushed in anger, and he found himself unable to utter a single word.

The impending slap lingered, suspended in midair. Jennifer smirked coldly, shifting her gaze toward Vanessa, who was still leisurely enjoying her fruits.

“It seems that the person you dislike the most will inherit the Moore family. What about your precious daughter? Well, she might never wake up! You despise me and my mom, yet you have

to put on a facade of a caring mother in public. That must be exhausting,” Jennifer said with a sneer.

Bang!

Vanessa slammed her hand on the table and exclaimed, “You! You wicked little bitch! How dare you curse Hannah! The Moore family is only temporarily in your hands! Once my beloved Hannah wakes up, you'll have to give it back! Don’t be so smug!”

Jennifer was unfazed and retorted, “You should pray harder for the gods to hear your prayers then! Instead of standing here arguing with me, you might as well hurry up and deal with my online scandal. If | have to suffer, the Moore family will be suffering with me!”

She finished and stormed upstairs, deliberately slamming the door loudly behind her.

Vanessa was seething. “Jennifer! You finally revealed your true colors, and now you're even threatening me!” She turned to Kennedy and cried, “Look at her! What did | do to deserve this?”

Upstairs, Jennifer locked the door, effectively shutting out the noisy commotion below. She walked over to her vanity and swept the valuable cosmetics aside, creating a loud clatter.

However, she could not fully vent her anger. Hence, she proceeded to make a call.

The call was quickly answered, and Jennifer said rudely, “You said this would tarnish her reputation, but not only did it fail, it brought her more attention online instead!”

Katie was in the midst of her skincare routine and did not seem to be bothered by Jennifer’s words. “Calm down. It’s no big deal. Just wait quietly for a while, and your problem will blow over. I’m here to help you. What's there to worry about?”

Jennifer felt a bit more reassured, but she still felt indignant. “What about Sheena? We can’t just let her off the hook like this, can we? She'll only become more arrogant!!!

Katie remained composed and confident. “Don’t worry. If the public approach doesn’t work, we'll resort to unlawful methods.”
