My Supermodel Wife (For Sale!)

Jefferson's frown deepened after hearing what Sasha said. Seeing this, Jenny approached her husband and squeezed his hand gently. Then she turned to Sasha.

"Sasha, I appreciate your concern for Sara." Jenny said softly. "But this is a matter between the Hartanto Family and the Widjaya Family. I don't think it's good if you interfere. Everyone already knew who was right and wrong in this incident. If you defend Sara without thinking, you will just add more topics for everyone to gossip."

Sasha bit her lip, but she couldn't argue. Jenny clearly had a point and her words sounded reasonable. Finally, Sasha just smiled apologetically without saying anything.

Jenny smiled with satisfaction before glancing at Sara, who had become so quiet after this incident. The middle-aged woman said, "Sara, you need to come back to the main house of the Hartanto Family with us. There are many things you need to explain to us about today's incident."

Jefferson frowned at his wife. Why did they have to take Sara all the way to the Hartanto Family's main house just to hear her explanation? Couldn't they just talk about the matter here?

However, Jenny had no intention of changing her opinion. She said in a low voice, "Besides, our butler just called. Father has awakened from his coma and wants to see everyone."

Hearing the news, Sara's eyes immediately flashed with joy. Her grandfather finally woke up! How long had it been since she last saw that old man?

In less than ten minutes, several cars belonging to the Hartanto family had driven away from the house.

In one of the cars, Jefferson sat in the backseat with Jenny. Their son Alan followed behind them in his own car. The last car driving behind everyone was carrying Sara and her father Paul.

Though Sara was his own daughter, Paul knew nothing about the incident in the bathroom. He was too focused on making connections with other wealthy families. When Jefferson called his younger brother to return to the main house of the Hartanto Family, Paul was still busy curling up on the other guests.

At this time, there was only Jenny with Jefferson and a driver in the car. Jefferson suddenly spoke up, breaking the silence between them.

"Since you don't want to say it, I decided to ask you first." said Jefferson. He crossed his arms and tapped his fingers suspiciously. "I might be wrong, but it looks like you really like that young daughter-in-law of the Widjaya Family. Have you met her before?"

Jefferson had been married to Jenny for over 30 years. Of course he could see that Jenny's attitude towards the young woman was different from usual. His wife treated Lilia with utmost sincerity and care, almost like treating her own child. The man admitted that Lilia was indeed a smart and honest woman, but Jenny's kindness was too much.

Jenny had been staring out the window in silence before finally turning her head. She lowered her head while fixing the wrinkle on her clothes. "Of course I like Lilia. Who could hate a young woman with such manners and humility?" Jenny calmly replied.

Jefferson frowned at his wife's answer. "You know that's not what I meant." he said coldly.

The woman finally raised her face with a smile. "I know, I was just teasing you. Lilia is a good child, but I don't have any special feelings towards her. It's just that Sara was causing bigger problems than I expected. If I didn't say anything to Lilia, our family's reputation would only get worse." she patiently explained.

However, Jenny deliberately did not mention the real reason. She did all this because she had suspicions about Lilia. The woman had an uncanny resemblance with a girl from her family, the Irwan family. However, it had been decades since Jenny left her family. If she voiced her suspicions now, she would only complicate the situation.

Jenny stole a guilty glance at Jefferson. Not that she didn't believe him, even Jenny had a hard time believing that fact. It took her some time to find out the truth behind her suspicions.

Jefferson only nodded and did not go into the topic further. He changed the subject when they were far from the restaurant. "What are you going to do about Sara?" he asked. "Didn't you say that this family will be responsible for tonight's incident?"

Hearing that, Jenny smiled broadly. "Don't worry, I haven't forgotten that promise. Since Sara has made a terrible mistake, how about we get her to rewrite the Hartanto Family rules a hundred times?" she suggested.

Jefferson's eyes went wide for the first time. He looked at his wife in disbelief. "… Don't you feel that this punishment is too harsh for a young woman like her?" Jefferson asked carefully.

Jenny laughed out loud at that. "No, this is the right punishment to erode Sara's pride. Besides, I'm sure Father will agree with me."

When Jenny mentioned the head of the family, the atmosphere in the car immediately felt heavy. She knew that Jefferson was worried about what his father would say. Would that man pass Jefferson the position of head of the family? Or would his father take on Paul's side?

Neither of them knew what was coming.

*****

As soon as Lilia and Jean returned from the restaurant, they went straight to their bedroom on the third floor. Jean had told them not to have a single servant bother them tonight.

The two of them had just entered the room for about ten minutes when the sound of rushing footsteps came from the direction of the stairs. It turned out it was Claire and Andrew.

The two of them knew that there had been a commotion outside the hall earlier, but they knew nothing about it. There had to be one house member remaining in the hall to make arrangements just in case. But as a result, Claire didn't know that Lilia was being slandered by Sara and was almost humiliated in front of everyone.

As soon as Claire heard from Irene that Sara dared to bully Lilia, the woman immediately rushed away. She dragged her husband and forced him to drive her home.

Arriving at the Widjaya House, Claire headed for the stairs and climbed hastily. Andrew followed behind her while repeatedly reminding Claire not to rush. The man was worried that his wife would injure herself because of her carelessness.

Andrew could only sigh as his warning slipped into one of Claire's ears and went out of the other. If Claire kept doing this, she wouldn't listen to anyone.

"This is all your fault!"

Claire stomped her foot while climbing the stairs. She turned and glared at her husband.

"If you don't keep me in the hall, how can I let Lilia be bullied like that?!" she scolded. "How dare this ignorant creature named Sara Hartanto bully a member of the Widjaya Family?! I will teach her a lesson!"

Andrew raised his hands with a helpless expression.. It was at times like these that Andrew felt a little jealous of Jean. His brother-in-law didn't have a wife with such an explosive temper!
