In Every Life [Jenlisa]

Chapter 1

The sky was filled with a gloomy gray.

Jennie dazedly sat at her desk, staring at the fine rain outside the window.

There was a light knock on the door, and Housekeeper Song's voice came from outside: "Madam, Lawyer Zhou is here."

Upon hearing the sound, Jennie was stunned for a moment before lowering her eyes, covering her bloodshot eyes, and wearily straightening her wrinkled clothes.

She then whispered, "Please let him in."

Lawyer Zhou entered the room under the guidance of Housekeeper Song. He carried a briefcase, wore a sharp suit, and had meticulously combed hair. He exuded an air of sophistication with every gesture.

"Mrs. Manoban, hello."

The room was filled with a pleasant aroma of incense, a cool scent with a hint of bitterness.

Despite her haggard appearance, Jennie's beauty remained intact. Her peach blossom eyes, slightly reddish, her pale cheeks, and even the few strands of hair scattered on her forehead, all added a touch of pitiful charm to her already stunning features.

This was the first time Zhou Zhong had met Mrs. Manoban, but with just one glance, he suddenly understood Mr. Manoban's obsessive and crazy thoughts towards her.

"My condolences, Mrs. Manoban," Zhou Zhong pursed his lips and spoke softly.

Suppressing the strong bitterness in her heart, Jennie replied softly, "Thank you, Lawyer Zhou."

Rubbing her forehead wearily, she continued, "May I ask what brings you here today?"

For several consecutive nights, Jennie's already fragile nerves were pushed to the brink of collapse due to her insomnia.

At this moment, all she wanted was to get some sleep, even if it was just a few shallow hours.

But even as Jennie lay on her soft bed, her racing thoughts were like the rain outside, growing stronger and stronger, sweeping through her heart like a storm.

As her vision gradually blurred, she thought of what Lawyer Zhou had said: "Mr. Manoban had written a will before his untimely death, stating that all his assets would be transferred to your name."

Why?

Why was he so good to her?

Tears finally fell from Jennie's eyes, and the tension in her heart was broken by this sudden news.

She sobbed uncontrollably, unable to hold back her tears.

The raging rain outside beat against the windows with a loud sound. Jennie tightly closed her eyes, but tears continued to seep out and flow onto the smooth silk pillowcase.

Lost in thought, she suddenly remembered the car accident.

It was also on a rainy day like this.

On that rainy night, the street was desolate and the dim streetlights barely illuminated the roadside.

They sat in the car, polite and distant, as if separated by the Chu River and Han Border.

Suddenly, a blinding beam of light flashed by, and before she could react, Lisa pressed her tightly to his chest.

His strength was terrifying, as if he had used all his strength to protect her at all costs.

Jennie only felt her shoulders ache and her feet being pressed down, a piercing sensation.

The car lights illuminated the entire road, and she endured the pain and looked up, only to see Lisa's deep, dark eyes. Fresh red blood slowly trickled down his forehead, and his usually cold and pale face was now covered in bloodstains. But he seemed completely unaware, staring at her without blinking, as if he wanted to engrave her into his soul.
