Chapter 341:
“Isn’t Maisie pressuring you p>
Growing impatient, Ryan asked, “Why does my marriage matter so much to you? Are you jealous p>
He watched her closely, not wanting to miss any reaction.
Deep down, he couldn’t help but hope for a “yes p>
He hoped Jenessa still harbored feelings for him.
But with evident disgust, Jenessa retorted, “Are you out of your mind? I couldn’t care less about who you marry p>
She sighed deeply and stated coldly, “I just want to know when I can stop playing the charade of being a couple with you. It’s truly exhausting p>
Instantly, Ryan’s expression turned icy. He clenched his fists, and the light in his eyes faded.
“Well, you might be disappointed. If it weren’t for Grandma’s health, do you think I’d willingly play the part of a loving husband with you p>
Jenessa felt a pang in her heart upon hearing his words. She took a deep breath, determined not to let him see her humiliation.
Negotiating with Ryan had been a mistake.
She remembered how irritating he had always been, and that he hadn’t changed at all.
“Since we can’t come to an understanding, I’m leaving.” With an icy look, Jenessa stood and exited.
Ryan made no move to stop her; he, too, was in a foul mood.

Their meeting ended in complete discord.
Jenessa stormed out of the café, boiling with rage. She inwardly cursed Ryan for a long time, yet her anger remained unquenched.
She hadn’t gone far when a group of men dressed in black suddenly blocked her path.
They confronted her aggressively.
“Are you Sloane Todd p>
The men in black exuded menace, their expressions steely and resolute.
Jenessa, sensing their hostile intent, cautiously retreated a step.
Her eyes narrowed as she demanded with caution, “Who sent you to harass me p>
One of the men responded with a gruff, intimidating tone that sent chills down her spine, “You’re overthinking it. We’re not here to harass you. Our boss simply wants to meet you because of your reputation as a distinguished designer p>
“Tell your boss I’m not interested,” Jenessa retorted firmly.
Given their unfriendly demeanor, she was not about to compromise her safety.
One of the men scoffed coldly and advanced, his voice stern.
“You don’t have a say in this p>
As Jenessa recoiled in shock, she lost her footing in her haste to escape.
She almost let out a scream.
At that critical moment, she felt someone stabilize her from behind.
“What’s happening?” Ryan asked, his hands steadying her.
His eyes then turned icy as they fixed on the men in black.
