Chapter 70
Catalina’s smile froze on her face.
Lunch time has come.
Marcel loved to eat specialty dishes, and so did his friends. That’s why Jennifer prepared all specialties that Marcel usually enjoyed.
“Marcel, your daughter–in–law’s cooking skills could make her a world- famous chef.”
“So. like I said before, Marcel doesn’t have any good qualities, he just has a good eye for picking daughters–in–law.”
“Yeah, no kidding! Look at Jenny, then look at my daughter–in–law who can’t even crack an egg, sigh!”
Marcel’s friends couldn’t stop praising Jennifer.
“Nowadays young people are all the same, few can cook, busy with work, you know!” Davon said on the side.
“Yeah, Jennifer didn’t have a job…”
Donna got cut off by her husband before she could finish speaking.
“Do you have a job? Still can’t cook, right?”
Donna couldn’t

Marcel liked Jennifer. It
first suggested that Brayan marry Jennifer.
“Jenny was harder working and more resilient than most young people. That’s why they say children from poor families grow up faster!”

If it were in the past, Jennifer would have been moved to tears when she heard Donna say that, feeling her mother–in–law acknowledged her efforts and understood her struggles.
But now, she only heard Donna mocking her for her poor conditions, so she could only be a housewife.
“Jenny is now working at the LeBlanc Group, still as Brayan’s secretary…” Marcel picked up on Donna’s implication and spoke up for Jennifer, “Brayan, isn’t Jenny also very capable at the company?”
Brayan answered casually while serving soup, “Her main job is to assist Jamie, we don’t interact much.”
“You dare to say that Jenny has lost weight, it must be because you have been bullying her in the company.” Marcel defended Jennifer.
Brayan chuckled, “Grandpa, no way.”
He placed the hot black chicken soup in front of Jennifer.
Jennifer whispered a “thank you“.
Only in the old house could she drink the soup that Brayan served her with his own hands.
“It’s none of your business, old man. Stay out of the couple’s affairs.”
Marcel’s old comrade couldn’t help but say.
“Yeah, you see how considerate Brayan is to his wife.”
“Brayan and Jenny, they were a match made in heaven… When they got married, I said they really looked like a perfect couple.”
Jennifer was a bit embarrassed by all the compliments.

Brayan’s charming smile had a slight curl of his lips.
From an outsider’s perspective, no one could imagine that these two people were actually going through a divorce and had been living separately for a while.
During the meal, someone also asked, “Who is Catalina?”
Brayan introduced him as his high school classmate.
Ever since she returned to her country, whenever someone asked Brayan about her identity, Brayan always answered that she was a high school classmate.
They did break up when they graduated.
If it were a normal day, Catalina wouldn’t have been so unhappy with this title.
However, at this moment, compared to Jennifer, his wife, she seemed like the only outsider.
“Catalina, why haven’t you eaten anything? Not feeling hungry?” Donna asked Catalina.
Catalina forced a smile and said, “I wasn’t not hungry, I was just a little worried… I don’t know if grandpa will like the gift I gave.”
As soon as Catalina said that, Donna immediately told Whitney to bring Catalina’s gift over and opened it on the spot.
Catalina gave Marcel a birthday gift. It was a top–grade sheep fat white jade ornament, exquisitely carved and visibly expensive.
“Catalina, you’re really splurging this time. This ornament must cost at least a few million!” Donna exclaimed.

“This craftsmanship is amazing, it must be a masterpiece.” Davon couldn’t stop praising the gift prepared by Catalina.
Seeing everyone’s attention back on her, Catalina awkwardly flipped her hair.
“I had a domestic carving master Tanya Kline spend three months carving it, the design was done by myself, just don’t know if grandpa likes it or not.”
After listening to Catalina, Marcel’s friends also started praising her for her thoughtful efforts.
“Hey Jennifer, what did you get for your grandpa’s birthday gift?”
When Catalina asked her that, Jennifer suddenly felt that Catalina put so much effort into her grandfather’s birthday gift not just to please him, but also to use her as a comparison.
“Jenny is family, no need to be so polite with family,” Marcel’s words. clearly categorized Catalina as an outsider.
“But Brayan also gave a gift, can Jennifer be more family–oriented than Brayan?” Ruby couldn’t help but interrupt.
Brayan did give Marcel a birthday gift, a Richard Mille watch worth 30 million.
Before Marcel could retort to Ruby, someone suddenly rang the doorbell of the LeBlanc’s manor.
