Chapter 259 She Was Locked in the Basement
Timothy wasn’t a fool. He immediately figured out the crux of the problem instantly.
When Jennifer was under his roof, she never went to bed hungry or ate anything less than fresh.
The only place she could have faced such cruel neglect had to be the Hargreaves Villa.
She’d been there for several days, completely unreachable. That was weird.
Faced with Timothy’s questions, Jennifer didn’t know what to say.
She
quickly.
She didn’t respond immediately, the silence stretching out.
But Timothy stepped forward to hold her hands, and inquired with concern. “Sweetie. Tell me what happened. I need the truth.”
Jennifer knew she couldn’t keep it from him anymore. “When I returned, I planned to confront Sarah. But they took my gun and locked me in the basement.”
Timothy was super mad. “They locked in the basement?”
His voice hardened, cold as winter.

All those days, he called her many times. but failed to reach her.
He even thought she was avoiding him.

The reality was far worse. She had been trapped in the basement, starving, unable to answer his calls.
Timothy was like standing in a cold pool in the winter. His gaze was sharp and cold.
He remembered he even went to the Hargreaves Villa once during that period of time. But he didn’t get to see Jennifer and just left.
He thought, “Was Jennifer trapped in the basement at that time?”

Timothy was consumed by a profound sense of guilt, while his anger towards the Hargreaves family blazed like an inferno. How could they do this to Jennifer?
Jennifer attempted to lighten the mood, forcing a smile, “It’s over now. I got my revenge. I didn’t come out empty–handed.”
He argued, “Is that supposed to make everything okay?”
Timothy was not only mad at the Hargreaves family but also himself.
Chapter 259 She Was Locked in the Basem… “The Hargreaves family, is it? They will pay a price for this,” he thought.
Just then, the doctor cut in, disrupting their exchange with a note of relief in his voice, “From what I can see, this isn’t the result of domestic violence or mistreatment. That’s a relief to know.”

Jennifer explained to the doctor, “It really wasn’t anything like domestic abuse. I have some conflicts with my brothers.”
The doctor nodded, advising her to watch her diet and eat regularly from now on.
Jennifer nodded, a look of surprise crossing her features. It hadn’t occurred to her that a few days of not taking food could result in some stomach issues.

As they left the hospital, Jennifer glanced at Timothy. “I need to head to the studio. Can you tell Grandma I’m not pregnant? She might be waiting for news.”
Though Angelina seemed calm, Jennifer was sure that Angelina yearned more than anyone for Timothy to have kids.
“No need for me to go and tell her. Once my mom gets back, she’ll tell Grandma,” Timothy said, steering the car toward the studio.
He glanced over, his eyes locking onto hers with a fierce protectiveness. “Go ahead and chase your dreams. Don’t hold back for anything or anyone.
“If someone tries to mess with you or throw obstacles in your way, just tell me.
Chapter 259 She Was Locked in the Basem… I’ve got your back.”
As she locked eyes with his profound gaze, she was indeed touched.

Yet, she was aware that a relationship between them could never end well, because they were from different worlds.
“Okay, I’ll go now,” she said, nodding in agreement.
With renewed resolve, Jennifer made up her mind. After the show was finished, she would find a way into the lab to get the drug for nerve regeneration. She wanted to see Timothy stand up from his wheelchair.
When Timothy regained his ability to walk, the agreement between them would

After Jennifer got off and stepped into her studio, Timothy pulled his eyes away.
With a cold glint in his eyes, Timothy directed Eric, who sat beside him. “Contact the Hargreaves family. Set up a dinner for tonight at Kinglet Villa. Invite them over.”
Eric turned, clearly surprised. “Kinglet Villa? Sir, are you sure?”
That place hadn’t been used in years.
Eric had a hunch that his boss was going to stand up for his lover and teach those guys a lesson.
