Super CEO Daddy And His Baby Triplets

Chapter 29 It Was Not Her Home Anymore

Chapter 29 It Was Not Her Home Anymore

It was because of Jocelyn's good quality that Beatrice was determined to give her the family heirloom. She trusted her judgment that Jocelyn would be a good daughter-in-law, a good mother, and a good wife. She would not put her faith in the wrong people.

Jocelyn knew well the meaning of the family heirloom, which was a recognition of identity and the inheritance of power. And it meant that Beatrice trusted and accepted her.

But Jocelyn really couldn't accept it. She felt unworthy of it. After all, her marriage with Calvin was fake, and it was a union of interests. How could she accept the heirloom of the Austin family?

Jocelyn looked at Calvin with pleading eyes, hoping that he could say a few words on her behalf and have his mother take it back. But Calvin just said, "Take it since she wants you to have this. Stop being that long-winded!"

"..."

Come on!

Jocelyn was never willing to take it, but they both asked her to keep it!

Jocelyn couldn't say no and finally had to accept Beatrice's gift. However, from the moment she received the gift, it weighed heavily on her mind.

She couldn't help but think whether Beatrice would be sad when she and Calvin dissolved their marriage in six months and gave this back to her.

Jocelyn had to go back to her room with the heirloom in her hand. What was she gonna do with such a hot potato in her hand?

It just happened that now she was very short of money. Beatrice suddenly gave her such a valuable thing, which was like giving a fish to a cat. Wasn't this a test of her humanity?

Jocelyn was thinking that if she sold this treasure, she would make a lot of money, which was enough to buy back the copyright of the new film. But... This was the heirloom of the Austin family!

Calvin probably would kill her!

Jocelyn, in order to keep herself alive, hurriedly perished the thought. She might as well keep this for now and would just figure out what to do with it some other day.

Jeffrey appeared in the doorway of the room with a restrained smile. He was very upset.

Jocelyn asked her son to come over. Fuming with anger, Jeffrey asked, "Mommy, you're lying! Didn't you say that we are getting paid by Mr. Austin? Why did you marry him?"

"Oh, son, let me tell you something. Mommy has no choice. If I don't act like this, how am I gonna get 12 million dollars? You can rest assured! Mommy's marriage with Mr. Austin is just fake!"

"I don't believe it! Mommy, you obviously have a crush on Mr. Austin, right? Did you abandon Daddy because Mr. Austin was better looking than Daddy?"

Jeffrey was just a little kid but was as imposing as adults.

Being questioned by the little kid, Jocelyn finally had no choice but to say, "Okay, mommy will tell you the truth! Mommy is not attracted to Mr. Austin's handsome face. Am I not beautiful? Mommy just wants his money! He is so rich. Look at this diamond bracelet. The money from selling this will be enough to support you both for the rest of your lives!"

"..." Jeffrey was even angrier and sighed, thinking that his mommy was money-obsessed!

She even abandoned their own father!

Poor daddy!

"Is it really just for six months?" Jeffrey asked uneasily.

"Of course. The agreement ends in six months, and mommy will take you and Tammy to your daddy. There's no downside for us anyway. We now live in a nice big house and have tasty food every day. You can see your daddy as often as you want. How about you think of it as a vacation?" All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

Jocelyn continued to soften him up a bit. If Jeffrey was not cooperative and told Beatrice about it, she would not get 12 million dollars...

Although Jeffrey didn't really want to agree with his mommy, he couldn't ruin her mommy's plan, either.

Since his mommy wanted to stay for the money, Jeffrey could only play along with her and had to barely stay here for six months.

He hoped that his mommy was really just after Mr. Austin's money!

Jocelyn had to go out to do something after calming her son down.

Marcus had a car ready for her outside the house and continued to be her bodyguard.

The car slowly drove out of the gate of Fallcastle. Jocelyn noticed a car parked near the Fallcastle, and it looked a little familiar.

She got a message on her cell phone, so she withdrew her gaze.

The message was from Veronica, and she told Jocelyn the exact time and location of the auction.

Three days later.

At Mermaidshine, Pailworth.

Jocelyn knew that she had only three days to raise money, or look for funding sources that would help her buy the copyright at auction, or find investors she could work with.

The first step of her plan was to go back to the Murray family to find a pocket watch. She heard that the Plexis Group owned by the Austin family offered a reward of 20 million dollars for a pocket watch. If the pocket watch she got five years ago was worth 20 million dollars, she would be rich!

After Jocelyn left, Todd, who was waiting in the car, woke up in a daze. Calvin wouldn't let him in the house last night, and he didn't want to leave, so he spent the night in the car.

The sound of a car engine just woke him up. He opened his eyes and moved his numb legs before opening the door and getting out of the car.

When Todd came to the gate of Fallcastle, he ran into Calvin, who was on his way out of the house, and Todd stopped him, "Calvin!"

"Why are you here again?"

"I haven't left! You're so heartless. You didn't let me into your house last night, so I had to spend the night in the car. And my legs are numb!"

Calvin frowned, and there was a hint of disgust in his eyes. He didn't find Todd so annoying before, but now he thought Todd always bothered him.

"By the way, how is Jocelyn doing? Was she hurt badly? Is it healed yet? Can I go in and see her now?" Todd said anxiously.

“She already left for her own business.”

"Huh? When?"

"She's long gone. You can get out of my face!"

Calvin said in a deep voice, bent over, and got in the car, ordering the driver to drive.

"Hey, hey, hey, Calvin..." Before Todd could say anything, Calvin's car already drove away.

Todd stood in place, scratching his head. The more he thought about it, the more wrong it seemed. What was going on with Calvin?

Did he go through early menopause?

Why was he so mean to Todd?

He had never been like this before!

The Murray family.

Jocelyn hadn't been home in five years. Standing at the gate of the Murray's again, she looked at the plaque that was hung high on the door head and felt it was a little bit of home.

Five years ago, or after the death of her mother, she never felt the love of the family.

This house was no longer her home!

Marcus waited in the car. Jocelyn walked into the Murray family's gate and first met Patricia, the housekeeper of the Murray family.

When Patricia saw Jocelyn, she gave Jocelyn a contemptuous look and deliberately yelled at the doorman, "You shouldn't have let a stranger in."

Patricia treated Jocelyn like shit as Natalia suggested, let alone someone who hadn't been back in five years. And Mr. Murray didn't take her seriously for a long time.

Jocelyn stopped in her tracks and looked at Patricia with raised eyebrows. "Are you Patricia? Don't you recognize who I am?"

Patricia said with a fake smile on her face, "Oh, I was wondering who it was. It's Jocelyn! You haven't been back for five years. Why did you come back today without telling us?"
