Devoted Love:The Billionaire's Precious Wife-Chapter 599

At that moment, a noticeable commotion arose from the first floor. freēnovelkiss.com

A good number of people turned towards the noise, only to see Jennifer striding into the cafeteria entrance, a designer handbag swinging from her arm, exuding an aura of undeniable presence.

Several veteran employees greeted her, their voices filled with a warm familiarity:

"Ms. McMillian."

"Ms. McMillian, it’s been a while since you last visited the corporation."

"Have you had lunch yet? I can get a few of your favorite dishes."

"It’s been a long time, Ms. McMillian—"

"What brings you here today?"

"We’ve missed you."

Jennifer’s face was icy, her eyes colder still.

"I heard someone’s taken a fancy to my son. Thought I’d come and see."

She had her insiders within the corporation, and she’d heard of a woman who’d stirred up the entire corporate security. It seemed to be related to her son.

Since the incident took place in her son’s office, no one could really explain what happened.

She had been shopping in the nearby boutique district when she heard about it. She tried calling her son, but he didn’t pick up, so she decided to come in person.

She wanted to see who this person was—who’d turned the corporation upside down.

What audacious wench had the nerve!

"Where is she?" Jennifer asked coolly.

The surrounding employees hurried to smooth things over.

"Ms. McMillian, Mr. Romeo is such a catch. It’s normal for women to be attracted to him."

"Don’t be upset, it just shows how outstanding Mr. Romeo is. Otherwise, he wouldn’t attract so many girls."

"Let the kids handle their own affairs. Ms. McMillian, why don’t we sit down and have lunch?"

"There can only be one daughter-in-law for me." Jennifer’s gaze swept over the crowd.

"Where’s the girl?"

She was determined to have a talk with her today!

Everyone felt her overpowering aura and instinctively looked towards a certain direction on the second floor.

Jennifer followed their gaze and saw a young girl on her phone. From this angle, she could only see the back of the girl, but from her attire, she seemed to be quite young.

A young chick causing such a commotion in her corporation.

There could only be one daughter-in-law for Jennifer: that was Rosemary of the prestigious Collins family!

No one else could get close to her son!

As she ascended to the second floor, the first floor of the cafeteria buzzed with whispers.

"This is bad. That girl is doomed. Did you hear what Ms. McMillian just said? She said there could only be one daughter-in-law—it must be Rosemary of the Collins family. She’s here to back Rosemary!"

"So, this girl couldn’t catch Ms. McMillian’s eye?"

"No matter how pretty, she can’t compete with a match of equal social status. What a pity."

"Ms. McMillian is a formidable woman—shrewd and capable. Her tactics are unparalleled. This is going to be interesting."

"Do you think Mr. McMillian would side with his girlfriend, or would he adhere to his mother’s advice and call it quits?"

"Who knows? I’m on pins and needles, just waiting for the next scene to unfold."

Romeo had just ordered a handful of dishes and was carrying them to the table when he heard the elevator ding. He looked up to see Jennifer stepping out, her designer handbag slung over her shoulder.

"Mom, what are you doing here?"

Rosemary turned at the sound of his voice and was equally surprised.

Upon seeing Rosemary, Jennifer’s face lit up. She hurried over and enveloped her in a warm hug.

"My darling girl, what are you doing here? Did Romeo invite you?"

She had never expected to run into Rosemary here!

"I had some free time today, so I came to see him," Rosemary explained.

"You rascal, why didn’t you pick her up? Did you let Rose come here all by herself?" Jennifer chided her son.

"Where are the manners I taught you?"

"I wanted to surprise him," Rosemary said.

"Oh, my sweetheart, you’re so thoughtful." Jennifer, gleeful, took a seat next to Rosemary.

"Did Romeo show you around? Are you getting used to the place? Is there anything that needs improvement in the company? How’s the food?"

Before Rosemary could answer, Jennifer turned to Romeo.

"Couldn’t you have ordered more dishes for Rose? Or taken her out to eat? And the table—it’s too small. Rose, sit tight. I’ll get you more food."

"No need. There’s already plenty. I can’t finish it all," Rosemary said, holding Jennifer back.

"I’ll get you some utensils. We can eat together."

Jennifer glanced at her son.

"Why should you have to do that? Isn’t there someone here who can?"

Romeo stood to get the utensils.

"My sweet girl, you finally came to visit your home. Come more often when you have the time—explore the place.

If Romeo is busy, you can always call me. I know this place like the back of my hand."

The employees on the ground floor were all staring in disbelief.

Just moments ago, Jennifer was ready to drag the woman seducing her son out of the building. But now, she was hugging Rosemary, chatting and laughing with her. It was clear she held a great deal of affection for her.

"I don’t want to trouble you," Rosemary said, her words endearing her even more to Jennifer.

"You wouldn’t be a bother at all! I have nothing to do at home. Call me whenever you need anything!"

"You talk too much. It’s too noisy," Romeo said, setting a set of utensils in front of Jennifer.

"Rose prefers quiet."

Jennifer huffed at him, then turned back to Rosemary.

"Did you just arrive, or have you been here since morning?"

"This morning."

"Did you hear about the incident then?" Jennifer was clearly angry.

"I heard from my subordinates that a woman caused quite the uproar here, disturbing hundreds of security personnel. Which vixen would dare cause such a fuss when we’re not around?"

Rosemary admitted, "It was me."

"You?" Jennifer was taken aback. She turned to Romeo.

"What on earth happened?"

Romeo briefly explained the situation. Jennifer was about to explode with rage when her phone rang.

Seeing who it was, she picked up immediately.

"Adrian."

"Jennifer, have you had lunch yet?"

Adrian hadn’t finished his sentence when Jennifer cut in,

"I couldn’t eat because of the children’s issue. You know, Myrna keeps throwing herself at Romeo despite knowing about the engagement between the McMillian and Collins families. It puts Romeo in a difficult position, and it’s not good for our image. I wonder how the Collins family would react to this"
