"I heard that you are Uncle Jonathan's lover. How about you do it in his place?" Jenny said while looking at Sherry.
As soon as Jenny arrived, the atmosphere became a little awkward and uncomfortable, making it hard for everyone to breathe.
Sherry tried to keep a friendly smile. "Right, I'll drink for Jonathan."
"Jenny, Sherry can't drink much. Let me drink it," Jonathan immediately took the glass in Sherry's hand.
Jenny looked at the two of them coldly. Her eyes were fixed on Jonathan but her mouth spoke to Sherry, "You dare to snatch the person I like, but not to drink even a few glasses of wine."
"I'll drink it. Jonathan, let me drink," Sherry didn't want to cause any trouble nor did she want Jonathan to be humiliated like this.
Aiden just watched all this from a distance. In his opinion, without any need to compete, Sherry had already won her competition with Jenny.
By doing this, Jenny would only end up hurting herself.
Anya wanted to get up and lighten the mood, but Aiden stopped her. "Just sit. Don't interfere."
"Aiden, Jenny is your own niece!" Anya tried to remind him.
"Once she feels really hurt, she will give up," Aiden took a deep breath.
Sherry actually drank the wine in her hand. After a few glasses, she finally couldn't go on anymore.
Jonathan tried to protect her and said, "I'll drink for her."
"Jonathan, why are you doing this? Is there something wrong with your brain?" Rudi was annoyed. He felt like he was dragged into Jonathan and Jenny's troubles. So in the end, he vented his frustration on Jonathan.
"Is this your way of protecting her?" Jenny looked at Jonathan sadly.
"Jenny, it's not Sherry's fault. Don't blame her." Jonathan knows that Jenny is heartbroken and wants to hurt Sherry.
Sherry, who had already drunk a few glasses, could only lean on Jonathan's shoulder. "I am fine."
Jenny could only hold her glass while watching how Jonathan treated Sherry so gently. She rose to her feet and looked at the man. "Don't think that just because I like you, I'll let you do what you want. Just like this glass, I could have kept you, or…"
Suddenly, she let go of her grip and let the glass fall to the floor that it got shattered into pieces.
The deafening sound when it hit the surface of the cold floor gave everyone goosebumps. Seeing this, Tara knew that Jenny was already deeply hurt this time.
Rudi walked over to Jenny and held her by the shoulders. He knew that her mouth was sharp, but her heart was actually very soft.
The glass wasn't the only thing to break into pieces at that time, but also Jenny's heart.
"I'm sorry for making trouble. You guys just go on. I'm going home." Jenny turned and walked toward the door.
"I'll take you," Rudi chased after her.
"No need. Let the driver take me. Get back over there!" Jenny walked towards the front garden and told Rudi to leave.
"Get in my car. We will talk after this!" Rudi took Jenny's hand and led her to his car.
He drove in front, followed by Bima's driver who took Jenny to Diana's house earlier.
"Jenny, Jonathan…"
"It's all over. When will we get engaged?" Jenny said it while looking at Rudi and smiling, but the smile didn't reach her eyes.
"Ha ha…" Rudi just laughed awkwardly, but couldn't say anything.
"You are quite handsome and likable. With you, I have nothing to worry about. Our life will be rich and enjoyable," Jenny said seriously.
Rudi felt like he had a fishbone stuck in his throat. He could not answer her.
He wanted to live in peace with a gentle woman as his wife, someone who would take care of their household and children later at home. He wanted a woman who wouldn't bother him or annoy him, so that he could do all his work and business in peace.
But he and Jenny were always arguing. Their lives would not only be well-off, it would only be filled with endless debates and fights. Just thinking about it was enough to make Rudi feel anxious.
"You wanted to get engaged to me because you wanted to lure Jonathan. But now that you've seen it, whatever you do won't do any good. This engagement…"
"If you don't want to be engaged to me, you can tell your father or my grandfather," Jenny leaned against the window, pretended to sleep and ignored Rudi.
"Jenny, I was thinking about you. Listen…"
"I like you. If you have the ability to break this engagement, I won't force you. I will go. But if we can't, we'll get married," Jenny said calmly.
"What did I really do wrong? Can I not make up for it?" Rudi feels that maybe he did something wrong to Jenny so that she doesn't want to cooperate with him.
"You are wrong because your face is quite handsome. You have a lot of money. And your background is much better than Jonathan's. And you know Jonathan. If I were engaged to you, Jonathan would come to the engagement party. That's why I chose you," Jenny replied.
"I… I can't deny it," Rudi could only conclude that Jenny still felt angry at Jonathan and wanted to use him to get back at Jonathan.
However, what can Rudi do?
His father wouldn't listen to him and Jenny wouldn't help him either. He could only follow all of this without being able to object.
…
Time passed very quickly. At the end of January, Rudi and Jenny would be engaged.
Nico was on set so no one told him about his sister's engagement.
It wasn't until two days before the engagement party that Tara informed him Jenny was getting engaged to Rudi.
Without a second thought, Nico immediately returned to Indonesia, trying to break the engagement.
But of course, no one cared about him. The engagement party would still continue as planned.
"Uncle, tell me. Why would Jenny want to be engaged to Rudi? I don't like it!" Nico complained in annoyance.
"I don't like it either. But Jenny wanted it," Aiden said calmly.
"Auntie, why did you let Jenny get engaged to this man? Is she being conned?" Nico immediately thought of Rudi as a swindler because he couldn't believe that Jenny wanted all of this.
"You can ask Jenny everything yourself," Anya couldn't help but take a deep breath. Currently, she is busy preparing for the engagement party. She didn't have time for Nico.
Seeing Anya and Aiden ignoring him, Nico decided to go to his grandfather.
Bima and Triawan were talking while drinking tea when Nico suddenly burst into the house.
"Don't you have any manners? Did you forget how to knock on the door?" Bima yelled at him loudly.
"Grandpa, how could Jenny make such a reckless decision? Do you know who Rudi is? I disapprove of this engagement! I won't let Jenny get engaged to him!" Nico said angrily.
Bima immediately put his cup on the table quite hard. "Get out of here!"
Triawan, Rudi's father, just smiled with an understanding look. "Bima, there's no need to be angry. Nico just misunderstood Rudi. It's just a small problem."
Nico turned his head and realized that there was another figure in the room. He saw Triawan who was unpretentious, wise and charming.
How could a great man like him have a playboy like Rudi as his son?
