She stopped, her gaze landing on Jenna in his arms. "What's wrong with her?"

Every time Jenna claimed something was wrong, Hunter would drop everything and rush to her side. the night Mia had called him for help, he had accused her of lying

As expected, the person who was favored felt like they could do anything without consequence

"Mia, stop making a scene! If anything happens to her, you can't bear that responsibility Hunter's cold voice carried a heavy pressure, making it clear he wasn't in the mood for games.

Mia couldn't help but recall how he always spoke to Jenna so gently. The difference was stark. "There's a driver at home. Let him take her to the hospital! She just caused a scandal last night, and now you want her in the headlines again?" Mr. Jasper Sr.'s commanding voice boomed from behind, catching Mia off guard. She hadn't realized he was standing there, his expression ice cold

"Hunter, you promised me you'd spend your life with Mib, and you better stick to that! You gave your word. and you need to honor it!"

Hearing this, Jenna nearly fainted on the spot from anger.

Hunter actually promised Mr. Jasper Sr. he would stay with Mia for life?

How could that bel

Hunter's cold gaze landed on Mia, completely ignoring Mr. Jasper Sr.'s words as he asked her, "Aren't you going to explain last night's trending topic?"

He was certain that Mia had complained to Mr. Jasper Sr. about it.

Mia's heart tightened with pain, but a mocking smile curled on her lips. "Why not ask Jenna to explain it instead?

After all, she wasn't the one behind it. What was she supposed to explain? Make something up? "Mia, what are you implying? Are you suggesting I'm the one who bought the trending topic?" Jenna peeked out from Hunter's arms, her eyes red with tears, looking at Mia with shock and hurt.

"I never said you did. But if that's what you think, there's nothing I can do about it." Mia's expression remained calm.

It was clear that Jenna had orchestrated everything and was now playing the victim. If Jenna wasn't in showbiz, it was a missed opportunity. She could easily win an award for this performance.

"Mia, did you forget what you promised me?" Hunter's sharp gaze was intense, practically during her to back down

"I'll handle the trending topic! Mr. Jasper Sr. cut in shooting a fierce glare at Hunter. "Now, have the driver take her to the hospital. 1 need to talk to you in by study immediately?" with that, Mr. Jasper St grabbed Mia's hand and led her inside

calculating, always with a plan up her sleeve.

Jenna, still in Hunter's arms, was sobbing dramatically Hunter, put me down I'll go to the hospital myself. Otherwise, Grandpa will get mad again."

She knew Mr. Jasper Sr. had faked his fainting spell earlier to get rid of her, and she had cursed him under her breath countless times.

"Old man, why won't you just die already? You're nothing but an eyesore she silently remarked

Hunter's expression darkened. "You're pregnant. Stop crying all the time. It's not good for you or the babym

He couldn't understand why Mr. Jasper Sr. disliked Jenna so much, to the point of pretending to faint jost to avoid seeing her.

With a pitiful expression, Jenna continued, "Grandpa is so unfair! It's all Mia's fault, and yet he still takes her side!"

Even though Mr. Jasper Sr. no longer had control over the family business, his word was still law within the Jasper household. Even Hunter had to listen to him.

Back when Jenna first married into the family, she had gone out of her way to please Mr. Jasper Sr, but he had remained indifferent. Yet Mia, who had joined the family later, received all his affection. She could never figure out why. Since Mia genuinely cared for Mr. Jasper Sr., it was only natural that he favored her

"if you can talk this much, I guess your stomach isn't hurting that bad, huh? Hunter's tone softened as he glanced at her.

Immediately, Jenna let out a pained cry. "It hurts! Please, hurry and take me to the hospital The drama was written all over her face, too obvious to be real.

Just as she finished her performance, Mia's voice rang out, "Hunter, Grandpa asked you to hurry up
