Chapter 4 Juanita's face froze . Seeing the familiar car outside , she panicked . She stared accusingly at Jensina . " You planned this , didn't you ? " " Juanita , what are you talking about ? I was just upstairs getting a gift for Cole . Why are you still blaming me … " Jensina's eyes were misty , as if she were feeling wronged . Kenton Pugh , the Hardwick mansion's butler , entered and saw the scene . Menu Frowning at the mess , he turned to Juanita . " Mrs . Juanita Hardwick , Madam Hardwick asked me to tell you . Since you can't discipline Joshua , she'll have to discipline you first . " Juanita's lips curled . " What ? " Kenton gestured for her to follow and said , " Please go to the yard and kneel for three hours . " " Kenton … " Jensina began , but he kindly cut her off , " Mrs. Jensina Hardwick , no need to plead . You've done your part at Mr. Lyman's funeral . Take care of yourself . " She didn't intend to plead for Juanita . Instead , she wanted to ask if Eliza Hardwick was feeling any better . She wanted to pick a time and talk about the divorce . Even though Coleman led the Hardwick Group , Eliza was the one who decided the family matters . Juanita didn't want to submit , but she had no choice but to kneel in the yard amidst the ice and snow . She deserved it . Jensina didn't give her another look and prepared to go upstairs . Susana worried . " Mrs . Hardwick , what about the painting ? " " Don't worry . Someone will collect it later and return it once it's restored , " Jensina replied calmly . She kept to herself that the one at home was a replica . The real painting was safely displayed at her friend's gallery , where it belonged . Efren Hardwick would've wanted his work seen by more people , not just hidden away . It was such a waste to just keep it at home . " Bad woman ! " Joshua shouted as Jensina was about to head upstairs . " I called Uncle Coleman . When he comes back , you're in trouble ! " " I'll wait , " Jensina said . ' He's going to divorce you ! You'll be a loose woman no one wants ! " Joshua continued . Jensina smiled , " He won't listen to you . " Coleman still needed her as a fig leaf with Juanita . Once he divorced her , it would ruin Juanita's reputation if he lived with Juanita . Coleman wouldn't allow that . Coleman returned swiftly . Juanita had been kneeling for less than twenty minutes when he arrived . Tall and commanding in his black cashmere coat , he exuded an air of nobility . He rushed from the car to Juanita , scooped her up , and carried her into the house , placing her on the couch . As he applied medicine to her cold , red knees , the concern in his eyes was palpable . " Are you daft ? They asked you to kneel , and you just did it , " 10:22 AD GoodShort - Movies & Dramas GoodShort a must - have ann for original dramas and movies . 1.5 % Install > < Chapter 4 he chided . Menu " Eliza insisted . What could I do ? " Juanita said, tugging at his sleeve , her eyes welling up , her voice trembling . " Cole , can you divorce her ? She's terrifying … " Coleman's brow furrowed . " You mean Jensina ? " he asked . " Yes . " Juanita bit her lip . " Do you know why Josh broke Efren's last painting ? She deliberately led him to do it . " " Mom was right ! " Joshua added , pouting with tears in his eyes . " Uncle Coleman , Auntie Jensina scared me on purpose today . She said the monster that would eat my arm was in that painting , so I … " " No way , " Coleman dismissed the idea . Then he affectionately patted Joshua's head . " Josh , maybe you misunderstood . Jensina has the kindest heart in our family . She said last night she wasn't upset with you , so she wouldn't frighten you again . " * Plus , Grandpa adored her. She wouldn't harm his paintings , " Coleman added , looking at Juanita . Juanita was incredulous . " You're saying Josh and I falsely accused her ? " " Coleman ! " she exclaimed . " You've changed so much ! " This accusation stirred a flash of anger in Coleman , but seeing the disappointment in her eyes , he held back . " Juanita , I've always been the same . " Juanita stared at him . " You swear you never had any feelings for Jensina , that you never slept with her ? " Coleman always felt he had never let Juanita down . Yet , he heard the question but couldn't bring himself to answer . His posture stiffened , and his long lashes cast shadows . " I never touched her . " Coleman owed Jensina an apology . " I didn't sleep with her for once . " Jensina descended the stairs , one hand on her back and the other holding a gift box , catching these words . It was a simple statement . She gave a wry smile and approached . " Cole , there's a family dinner at the Herring's villa tomorrow night . Grandma asked if you could come back . " Vanessa Huber and Jensina's parents were old friends . After their accident , Jensina was raised by Vanessa . To others , she was practically part of the Herring family . Even after she married into the Hardwick family , the business ties between the Herring family and the Hardwick family continued . Hearing this , Coleman , likely feeling guilty , agreed immediately , " Sure , I'll pick you up tomorrow night . We'll go together . " " Okay . " Jensina glanced at the gift box and then at Juanita and Joshua beside him . She wisely said no more and turned to leave . Gertrude nailed her case today , so she invited Jensina to go shopping . Hearing her leg was hurt , they settled for dinner instead . " Sina , Coleman called out without thinking , " what's that you're holding ? " Jensina turned and waved the box . A gift . " " A gift ? Did a friend have a birthday today ? " " It's for our third wedding anniversary . It's for you . " " Sina , I'm sorry … 10:23 1.5 % AU GoodShort Movies & Dramas Install > GoodShort , a must have app for original dramas and movies < Chapter 4 " It's fine . You are busy . It's normal to forget .
