Chapter 28
Jensina knew she couldn’t avoid it. Her fingertips brushed over her palm again and again, and she spoke softly. Well be was pretty busy lately. But he said he’d try to come over as soon as he finished”
Heh
Madam Herring looked at her with a mocking smile, “Busy with work, or busy with something else?”
She lowered her eyes, “Grandma..
Forget it if you couldn’t keep his heart,”
In front of so many people, Madam Herring didn’t hold back at all and slapped her in the face, full of disdain in her words, “You even went online to clear things up for the mistress Jensina, do you know how awful the things people are saying out there are?”
She didn’t know.
But even Stanley, who had already cut ties with her, reminded her that night.
Then it must have sounded pretty bad
“Everyone was saying, it was us, the Herring family, who treated you badly! That’s why you ended up staying with the Hardwick family and putting up with all that crap!
Madam Herring pointed at her nose and yelled, “You tell me, has the Herring family ever treated you badly? You want to ruin our reputation like this‘
Jensina didn’t even try to dodge, just stared at the marble floor.
Just waited for her to finish scolding.
Then, with an order, “Get out and kneel!”
The Herring family wasn’t surprised.
Even though the snow outside hadn’t stopped yet.
Someone glanced over at Stanley, thinking he would stop it.
After all, to be serious, Jensina was the one he raised.
Even though we fell out over the years, there was still some feeling there.
But he just sat on the couch like it had nothing to do with him, absentmindedly playing with his phone.
Didn’t even look up.
It was like Jensina was a stranger.
“Grandma..
It was Wilfred, that dirty guy, who spoke up, “It’s still snowing outside. Sina’s just a girl. If she gets too cold, she might get sick for good”
If something went wrong with his legs, what fun would he have playing.
Madam Herring was frustrated. “You still haven’t learned your lesson with her, have you?
Jensina didn’t expect to get out of this punishment at all.
Wilfred was still arguing with Madam Herring, and she had already walked onto the gravel path and knelt down like she d done it a hundred
times.
Madam Hering glanced through the floor–to–ceiling window, her eyes gloomy, Tough nut.”
She was just like her parents.

Sell not eating yet?
Stanley absentmindedly spun his phone and said with a half–smile, “Every family dinner, is it just so we can come back and see how
dorsure people?
Didn’t mention any names, but everyone there knew who it was about.
The whole living room suddenly went quiet as a mouse.
1 was scared that when the gods fought, the little guys would get hurt
you
Losing Face in front of a bunch of juniors, Madam Herring tried hard to hold back her anger and said sharply, “You don’t have to come back!”
All these years, you hardly ever came back.
No one expected that he would suddenly come back today.
Sunley smiled “How could I learn if I didn’t come back?”
As he spoke, he glanced at Enrique, who was standing by waiting “Watch and learn. You and Zackary’s little torture tricks were nothing compared to Madam Herring
Except for Madam Herring, the rest of the Herring family just wanted to laugh when they heard this.
Why was everyone afraid of Stanley
It was just that he was cold–blooded and ruthless. They said he once threw people into the open sea to feed the sharks.
Enrique just answered serious, Yes!”
Madam Herring was so angry her chest kept heaving. “Stanley, do you even respect me as your elder…*
“Not serving food huh?
Stanley interrupted her, got up slowly, straightened his already neat clothes, and said calmly, Then I’m leaving.”
As soon as he finished talking, he didn’t care that Madam Herring was so mad she was pounding her chest, just stuck his hands in his pockets
and strolled off
The snow was really heavy.
Jensina knelt under the streetlight, and soon there was a layer of frost on her eyelashes.
My knee and lower leg both hurt.
But she could still handle it
The longest time. I even knelt for days.
If I hadn 1 studied traditional medicine since elementary school, my legs would’ve had problems a long time ago.
So that little bit of time didn’t mean much to her.
The phone in my coat pocket suddenly rang
as that unknown call again.
She refused the call and then realized there were some missed WhatsApp messages.
Because my hands were too frozen, I had just opened the message when I shivered and dropped my phone on the ground.
“Sina I probably couldn’t make it so let Patrick pick you up later”
The Herring family didn’t give you a hard time today, right?”
fenwina pave an awkward nug at the corner of her mouth and didn’t even feel like picking up her phone to reply.

When she made that call outside the old house, she already knew Coleman wasn’t coming
But when she got the news, she still felt disappointed.
He clearly knew and remembered that if he didn’t come, the Herring family would make things hard for her.
In the end, still didn’t come
The night wind came up, cold wind mixed with bits of snow went straight into people’s lungs.
Even breathing hurt.
She calmed herself down and bent over to pick up her phone, but a shadow fell over her. Someone was faster than her, grabbed the phone, and scooped her up by the waist at the same time.
Just put her right over the shoulder.
Walked out with steady and quick steps.
“Stanley!”
The scent was way too familiar. Jensina didn’t even need to check to know who he was.“Put me down!”
The man seemed to laugh, but his tone was still cold, “Not calling me ‘Mr. Herring anymore?”
Jensina choked for a second,“Mr. Herring, please put me down.”
Stanley’s voice was icy cold, “Haven’t knelt enough?”
She had knelt long enough.
But Madam Herring was probably just going to make her pay it back even more harshly.
Noah ran out and said awkwardly, “Mr. Stanley, you can go, Ms. Warren can’t.”
You go back and ask her, whose household register Jensina was on.”
Stanley was unfazed, walked with a sharp, intense stride, and gave off a strong sense of pressure. “If anyone slaps my face again, I swear, the next one thrown into the open sea to feed the sharks will be Wilfred.”
Speaking of the household registration book, it did remind Jensina.
Back in the day, when Stanley took her in, he also transferred her household registration over.
A few years ago, when she just got married and wanted to transfer her household registration, Stanley didn’t want to bother with her at all and didn’t even have time to look for the registration book.
Jensina wasn’t really a patient person deep down, so after a round or two, things just fizzled out.
He didn’t mention it, and she almost forgot that her household registration was still with him.
Noah went back and repeated the words exactly as they were.
