Chapter 608
Jenna almost blurted out, “You’ve been deceived by Joseph. If you fall in love with him now, you’ll only suffer more in the future.”
She examined Yara and was able to determine that Yara was still a virgin, which meant that she and Joseph had not slept together.
It seemed Joseph wasn’t completely without boundaries after all.
Jenna felt somewhat relieved. If Joseph had really slept with Yara, she would’ve been jealous and heartbroken. After all, the fact that Joseph would rather have Yara than her would have been deeply hurtful to her.
Just then, Gemma came looking for her. So, Jenna didn’t say anything more and followed her out of the hospital
room.
Gemma lowered her voice and said, “Where’s Henry? Have him leave the hospital and lie low for a while. The first thing Skylar said when he woke up was that he wanted Henry dead. What do you think Henry did to offend him?”
“Well, he offended him in every possible way,” Jenna thought to herself.
Skylar was in this state because of Joseph. And now, Joseph was going after his younger sister too. How could he not be pissed?
Jenna said, “There’s more to Henry’s situation. It has something to do with Yara. There are people around, so let’s go back to the office and talk.”
With people nearby, Jenna remained cautious and led Gemma back to the office.
Once they got in, she said, “There’s something I haven’t told you. Yara took Henry away from me because she thinks of him as her man now. That’s the real reason Skylar was furious.”
“What? When did this happen? Why didn’t you tell me sooner?” Gemma responded, secretly feeling troubled.
She, too, had feelings for Henry. So, she felt very reluctant to let Yara take him away just like that.
Jenna said, “It only happened recently. Yara didn’t discuss it with me beforehand, nor did she give me any time to accept it. She just called me and said, ‘From now on, Henry is my man. He has nothing to do with you.’ That’s it. When I questioned her, she just brought up the Zahn family rules.”
Gemma felt annoyed. “Seriously? Yara has no shame! She’s barely hanging on to life, and she still has the nerve to piss us off! She’s always snatching up every good thing for herself. Did she even consider whether she’d be able to take it?”
As Gemma spoke, she thought about Henry’s immense natural endowment and the fact that Yara was facing the possibility of amputation. She decided that pairing Yara with Henry was a huge disservice to him.
Jenna shrugged helplessly.
Seeing this, Gemma asked, “Why aren’t you sad? You’re acting as if nothing happened.”
Jenna replied, “We’re talking about the Zahn family rules. Is that something I can defy? Being sad won’t change

anything. If I can’t fight it, I can only accept it. I have no choice.”
Gemma thought Jenna wasn’t all that attached to Henry, after all. To be fair, he was quite ugly.
Since Jenna didn’t seem particularly heartbroken, Gemma was secretly relieved. Only someone who had been through it like herself could understand just how rare and valuable a man like Henry was. If a woman met a man like him and failed to appreciate him, they deserved to burn in hell.
She had no intention of warning Jenna about it. Someone who hadn’t experienced it for herself simply wouldn’t understand.
And given Yara’s condition, she could barely take care of herself and probably wouldn’t live much longer. She couldn’t give Henry the pleasures of a woman’s body either. Sooner or later, he would be free.
At that moment, Gemma decided she would take Yara’s place later.
She said, “Whoever caused the problem should resolve it. Yara needs to persuade Skylar herself. That way, Henry will be safe.”
“Don’t worry. Henry will be fine.” Jenna wasn’t worried in the slightest.
After all, the man in question was actually Joseph.
“Where’s Henry? Where did he go off to?” Gemma asked.
“He said he was going to the state library to look something up. I agreed. He can go wherever he wants,” Jenna
