Jennifer snapped out of the daze and chuckled, "Yeah, Daphne, you're right. Dad should be very happy. His death anniversary is coming next week. Let's visit him together!"

... Daphne fell into silence.

"Okay, since you don't want to go, I won't force you." Jennifer consoled her sister.

"I'm sorry! I really..." Daphne choked with sobs but soon put on a smile, "Jennifer, it's the day of your marriage today, so let's talk about happy things."

"Hmm... such as?" Jennifer asked.

"Such as your wedding dress, what style do you prefer? Such as your wedding, how are you going to hold the ceremony? I'm really looking forward to it! And..." Daphne paused suddenly.

Because she saw the ring around Jennifer's finger.

"Wow... Jennifer, you're so blessed. This should be the ring that Ethan spent 100 million yuan to customize." Daphne then landed her eyes on her wrist, "And this jade bracelet, I heard it was the highest-priced item at the auction. Surprisingly, Ethan won the bidding and presented it to you. This is wonderful!"

Jennifer lowered her eyes and saw the jade bracelet she wore days ago. As far as she could remember, she took it off before leaving, so...

Without doubt, Ethan put it back on her while she was asleep.

It was okay. Since he loved to give, she would accept.

During lunch, Daphne and Jennifer did most of the talking. Ethan just had his meal silently and gracefully. From time to time, he would pick up dishes for her.

"Jennifer, let's go shopping this afternoon! You didn't tell me about your marriage earlier, so I didn't have time to prepare my gift." Daphne suggested.

"Sure!" Jennifer nodded her head.

"Well, I'll make a call and change my schedules." Daphne took out her phone and went out of the booth.

The room became quiet again. Jennifer broke the silence, "Well... Daphne is lively and rowdy. I know you prefer tranquility and hope you don't mind."

"No!" Ethan replied.

His deep eyes suddenly gazed at her, "You and your sister are alike!"

Indeed!

She used to be livelier and more unrestrained than Daphne. Only... the four years had worn off her horns.

She was no longer her father's little princess, and her prominent background was no more. In others' eyes, she was just a young lady from a broken family. Now she had nothing to be proud of.

Jennifer was no longer that capricious girl. She became quiet and elegant.

Sometimes... when she was alone in a large room, people could hardly notice her presence.

What happened four years ago?

Why was her past a blank? Ethan mobilized his connections but failed to get any information. She was like vanished.

"Jennifer, tell me, what happened after I left four years ago?" Ethan found their cold interaction unbearable and asked painfully.

"Those four years were like hell. I lived in darkness every day. There was no sunlight nor hope and only painful suffocation. Heh heh... do you believe me?" Jennifer deliberately smiled brightly.

However, the more brilliant her smile was, the more desolate and despondent she felt. Ethan, I was living in hell four years ago but... would never let you know.

Ethan closed his eyes and recalled the good old days.

Back then, she was fearless, brave, pretty, quirky, and lively.

"Ethan, I like you. Will you be my boyfriend?"

"Ethan, I have a good appearance, a curvy figure, tiny waist, and big breasts. Why don't you like me?"

"Ethan, are you seduced by any coquette? You haven't come to me for days."

"Ethan, my foot hurts!"

"Ethan, I have a stomachache!"
