Jennifer stared coldly at Kelly, her gaze unyielding.
Her voice dropped to a low warning. “You heard me right. I am warning you.”
Kelly’s face turned red with anger, but she bit back any retort, her appetite vanishing completely.
After lunch, Jennifer returned to the studio, focusing on wrapping up her work.
By the time the city lights began to glow, Vivian emerged from her office. “Let’s call it a day, everyone. Get some rest. We’ll pick up again tomorrow.”

Most of the team packed up and left, but Jennifer stayed behind. Since she couldn’t be around all day due to classes, she wanted to make up for lost time.
When the studio finally emptied, the silence was calming until suddenly, the Alights went out.
Jennifer grabbed a flashlight, intending to check the breaker, but her phone rang before she could move. The caller ID showed Timothy.
“Hello?”
“Where are you? You’re not at the studio?”
Timothy had just pulled up outside and noticed the lights were out, prompting his

concern.

“I’m here,” she replied, glancing around. “Looks like there’s been a power outage.”
Navigating through the dark, she headed for the door but misjudged her step and knocked over a vase. The loud crash
startled her, and she let out a small
scream.
“What happened?” Timothy’s voice sharpened.
“I accidentally broke a vase.”
“Don’t move,” he said, his tone was firm.
She froze, hearing some sounds
approaching outside.

Moments later, a beam of light flickered through the doorway, followed by his silhouette.

Timothy wheeled toward her and reached out to her. “Babe, come here.”
After a slight hesitation, Jennifer leaned down and settled onto his lap.
As they moved, the crunch of glass beneath the wheelchair made her wince. “Won’t the wheels get damaged?”
“If they do, I’ll replace them.”
She placed her hands lightly on his shoulders, and within moments, they were outside.
Looking back at the darkened building,

Jennifer frowned. “It must be an issue

with the wiring. We’ll need the lights fixed for tomorrow’s work.”
“I’ll have someone take care of it,”
Timothy said simply.
“Thanks,” she said sincerely.
The upcoming show was looming, and lighting was crucial.
Once in the car, Timothy’s phone buzzed again. He answered, his expression darkening as he listened. “Got it.”
“What’s wrong?” Jennifer asked, noticing
his furrowed brow.
“Grandma found out about what happened in the Kinglet Villa.”

Jennifer pressed her lips. “That’s on me. I should have told Grandma yesterday, but I just forgot it.”
Yesterday’s drama with that old dress had thrown her off track.
“How did Grandma find out?” she asked carefully.
“Mary told her,” Timothy said flatly. “She probably led Grandma there on purpose, knowing she’d see the cage with the Hargreaves inside.”
Jennifer could vividly imagine the scene, like Angelina’s fury and Mary’s smug satisfaction.
“Is Grandma furious?” Jennifer said
Chapter 286 Be Discovered
softly.
“She’s demanding us to go to the villa
now.”

“Then let’s go there,” Jennifer said without hesitation. “I’ll explain everything to Grandma.”
Jennifer didn’t want Timothy to take the blame. It was her mess, and he was only trying to stand up for her.
Timothy frowned. “You don’t need to clean up my mess.‘
“No, it’s my family issue,” she argued.
“It’s on me. I was the one who locked them up. I don’t need you to step in.” His tone was resolute, leaving no room for

debate.
Jennifer sighed, “You stood up for me. Why can’t I do the same for you? Isn’t that fair?”

His frown deepened, but before he could respond, she pressed on. “This time, listen to me. Grandma is usually kind to me. She won’t scold me.”
She knew if Timothy took the heat, Angelina wouldn’t hold back her anger.
When they arrived at the villa, Jennifer pushed Timothy inside. Her heart sank at the sight of the empty cages on the lawn.
She tried to look tough, as there was a battle waiting for her and Timothy.

In the living room, Daniel was seated stiffly on the sofa. The rest of the

Hargreaves were likely already sent to the hospital.
On the opposite sofa sat Angelina and Mary.
The moment Jennifer and Timothy entered, the air grew tense.
Mary wasted no time striking. “Jennifer, how could you be so cruel? Locking up
your own family in a cage like that? Are you a monster?”
