Helena also gave Savannah, who was behaving strangely, a strange look and said, “Savannah, what
are you doing? Sit down, you are scaring Ophelia.”
After Savannah heard it, she subconsciously glanced at Zachariah. Seeing that Zachariah’s face was
also very unpleasant, she shuddered subconsciously, obediently put the apple back on the plate, and
laughed and said, “Mom, I just thought that I had done too much wrongly before. I wanted to take
action and let sister-in-law know that I’ve really repented, and it’s not just a casual remark.”
When Helena heard it, she became even more suspicious, and subconsciously turned to steal a
glimpse of Zachariah. Zachariah walked over and sat next to Ophelia, while Savannah avoided him like
a frightened bunny.
Helena asked suspiciously, “Zachariah, did you bully your sister?”
Zachariah gave a warning look, and Savannah immediately defended, “Mom, brother has been nice to
me. I just suddenly wanted to feed you apples. Mom, have a piece, is it sweet?”
Helena’s mouth was rudely stuffed with an apple from Savannah. Steffan frowned when he saw it, and
scolded, “Savannah, what are you doing?”
Savannah stood still like a frightened little rabbit and glanced at Zachariah which made her eyes panic
even more.
Zachariah pretentiously coughed twice, and Savannah, who seemed to be like a robot that had
received instructions, immediately apologized, “Mom, are you okay? I didn’t do it on purpose. Have
some water, I just want you to try if the apple was sweet or not. I had no ill intention.”
Helena snatched the water from her hand, pointed solemnly to the sofa on the other side, and said,
"Savannah, sit down.”
Savannah sat down.
“Savannah, be honest, what’s wrong with you? You haven’t been quite like yourself today. Come clean
about it, with me and your dad, no one can bully you.”
Savannah immediately shook her head.
The speed at which she denied it was too fast, which meant that something was amiss.
Helena glanced at Zachariah who was extremely calm and asked, “Savannah, be honest with Mom.
Did you argue with Zachariah? Ever since you two came back together, you haven’t been quite right.
Did your brother bully you?”
Savannah wanted to say yes, but she didn’t dare to? She knew very well who the head of this family
was. This family seemed to be Helena who’s talking, but in fact, it was Zachariah who has have the
power behind her back. If Zachariah really wanted to do something, even her parents won’t be able to
protect her.
Savannah was willful but she is not stupid/ Especially after being mercilessly taught twice by Zachariah.
If she dared to speak nonsense, Zachariah's previous warnings of sending her to the drug lord in the
slum might become a reality.
She cherished her life too much that she didn’t dare to risk it.
“Mom, it’s fine. I just suddenly figured out a lot of things. I used to play around and didn’t spend much
time with you and Dad. I feel a little guilty about it and wanted to make up for you two. Yet, you
regarded my filial piety as being weird. To be honest, I quite sad about it.”
Helena was still suspicious.
Steffan said, “It’s good that Savannah is sensible, don’t be so dubious over it.”
“We are very happy that you have such thoughts. Just don’t be so sloppy in the future.” Helena was
relieved and smiled.
“Got it, Mom,” Savannah said obediently.
Helena looked at Ophelia, and wanted to say something else when a young helper walked in from the
outside and said politely, “Madam, the Jenkins family has arrived.”
Steffan and Helena got up together, and Helena smiled and said, “They’re finally here, just in time for
dinner.”
Ophelia got up with the help of Zachariah.
There were five people from the Jenkins family this time. In addition to the Jenkins couple, there were
also three young adults, a man, and two women. The man looked like he was around 27 to 28 years
old. He was wearing casual clothes and looked very energetic. There was a seemingly endless smile
on his face and a pair of glasses on his face, which gave others the impression of a gentleman. As for
the two girls, they were between the ages of 24 to 25. They are dressed very stylishly, and they looked
good. The taller one was very gorgeous, while the shorter one was very pure and cute. All three of
them look a bit like each other. At first glance, you can tell that they should be siblings. As for the
Jenkins couple, they gave others the impression of being knowledgeable. The family gave off a good
first impression.
Steffan and Helena stepped forward and said with a smile, “Bruno, you are here.”
Mr. Jenkins smiled and said, “There was a traffic jam on the road hence we are a bit late.”
Helena smiled and said, “The time is just right, it’s not too late. You’re just the time for dinner.”
Both Mr. Jenkins and Mrs. Jenkins laughed.
Mrs. Jenkins pulled her two young and beautiful daughters and said, “Helena, these two are my eldest
daughter and second daughter. The eldest is Claudia and the younger is Ciara.”
Helena glanced at them and was full of praise, “This is Claudia and Ciara. They are really pretty, and
much better-looking than my Savannah.”
Claudia and Ciara were definitely girls who knew how to please the elders. They enthusiastically kissed
Helena’s left and right cheeks, and said in unison, “Auntie, you look more beautiful and gentler than my
mommy said you were. We really adore you.”
Their compliments made Helena laugh.
The two families introduced their children to each other.
When they introduced Ophelia, Cayden subconsciously stole more glances of her, but he also politely
withdrew his gaze after just one glance. Instead, he focused more on Savannah. It was unfortunate that
Savannah was feeling uncomfortable. She was also afraid of Zachariah. Her expression displayed that
she was a little under the weather and she couldn’t lift her spirits up.
Helena secretly poked her, motioning her not to go overboard. After all, Jenkins family members were
their guests, and it was not good for the guests to see too much of their displeasure.
While Savannah endured the pain, she had already become faintly impatient. If it weren’t for
Zachariah’s presence, she would definitely stop pretending the very minute and go straight back to her
room.
The Chambers family and the Jenkins family sat at the dining table together. The servants very
diligently served the dishes to the table. In just a couple of minutes, the huge dining table was filled with
all kinds of dishes. It could be said that it was filled with all sorts of expensive delicacies. It was a feast.
The food looked appetizing which spurred their appetite.
