Chapter 222 Unyielding Defiance
When Jennifer woke up, she felt lightheaded and did not feel hungry at all.

She turned her head and saw an IV still in the back of her hand.
She thought, “It must be glucose, right?”
Jennifer glanced at the only small window in the basement, which allowed her to see the sky outside. She thought, “It must be daytime now.”
She remembered what Sarah had said. She thought, “Had Timothy really come to Hargreaves Villa for a meal?
In my past life, he never even set foot in the villa.
But this time, was it because of Sarah?”
A bitter feeling rose in Jennifer’s heart. She thought, “I never had this kind of treatment before.
It seemed like, to Timothy, it did not matter who his fiancée was.”
Jennifer’s mood sank. The time she spent with Timothy felt like a dream.
She thought, “Why should I let the Hargreaves family thrive on
Chapter 222 Unyielding Defiance
my sacrifices?”
Not long after, Daniel came in with food. “If you are awake, cat something. The doctor said if you keep starving, it will be dangerous.”

“I would be better off dead, wouldn’t I? It would be a good thing for the Hargreaves family.”
“What nonsense are you talking about? You are the Hargreaves family’s precious daughter, my only sister. How could I want you to die?”
Daniel placed the food on the side and continued to speak. “Since Timothy has agreed to marry Sarah, why are you still being stubborn? Do you like him or something?”
Daniel could tell that Timothy had treated Jennifer quite well.
Aside from his disability, Timothy had other qualities that were attractive to girls. There were always plenty of girls around him.
Jennifer’s expression stiffened. “I do not like him.”
“That is good. I would not want you marrying someone like him, even if his family is wealthy.”
Jennifer gave a sarcastic smile. “But when I was engaged to Timothy, I did not see you opposing it.”
Daniel avoided Jennifer’s gaze, feeling uncomfortable.

After a moment of silence, he muttered. “Back then, if the Hargreaves family went bankrupt, we would all be in trouble. Sorry, I did not stand by you.
“At that time, you all stood with Sarah, leaving me as the only option.”
Jennifer knew very well that her brothers all liked Sarah. They considered Sarah as their real sister.
As for Jennifer, she was nothing compared to Sarah.
Daniel, looking guilty, said, “That is all in the past now. It is over. Since you want freedom, just agree to let Sarah replace you. Tell the Clark family you agree.”
“Why should I agree?”
Jennifer stared at Daniel, her temper flaring after days of hunger.
“If you agree, the Hargreaves family will be fine, and you will be free. Is that not a good thing?”
Daniel could not understand why Jennifer was making such a fuss.
“No, I would rather die than let the Hargreaves family go on like this.”
Jennifer’s face was pale, and she looked ghostly pale, as if she were barely alive.

Daniel grew angry. “Look at you! You cannot even get out the front door. How are you going to drag the Hargreaves family down with you? I know the family wronged you, but let Sarah suffer for you. You can enjoy life at home.”
“In the end, you are still thinking like the Hargreaves family. You have never considered my feelings. You are afraid the family will go bankrupt, that you will not have a good life, right?”
Jennifer thought, “People were selfish, and the Hargreaves family, especially, liked to cover their selfishness with the pretense of family.
Just like now.
Daniel was also worried about the Hargreaves family’s
bankruptcy, so he spoke gently, but his purpose was the same as Asher’s–no different.”
Daniel was furious, his face red with anger. “Jennifer, I am just trying to help you, and this is how you see me?”
“Why are you so mad? Are you feeling guilty?”
“You are impossible!”
Daniel stormed out angrily.
Jennifer sneered. She thought, “Nothing had changed.”
But Jennifer’s refusal to agree was not good for the Hargreaves
Chapter 222 Unyielding Defiance family either.

Asher was busy all day and did not get back to Hargreaves Villa until late. Due to the broken engagement, many business deals. had fallen through.
Sarah brought Asher a midnight snack. “Asher, is the company in a lot of trouble?”
“Yeah, if we do not resolve things with the Clark family soon, the Hargreaves family will face another financial crisis.”
Asher rubbed his temples. “How is Jennifer doing?”
“Daniel tried to talk to her, but she is still stubborn. She said even if she starves to death, she will drag the Hargreaves family down with her.”
“She really said that?”
Asher was furious. He stormed to the basement, determined to leach Jennifer a lesson that night.
