Chapter 816: Chapter 816: What dream are you having?_1
Everyone in the living room turned to look, curious as to why Victoria Wheeler would say such a thing.
Then they heard Victoria say, “This young lady thinks she can cause a rift among the Zhekova Family elders all by herself.”
“For her to cause a rift among the elders, they would have to take her seriously. But do we take her seriously?” Victoria asked, rolling her eyes.
Maverick Zhekova watched as his wife’s eyes rolled so far back, they seemed to reach the sky.
He quickly massaged Victoria’s eyelids, worried that if they rolled back too far, her eyes would become uncomfortable.
Victoria continued, “She believes she can turn the Zhekova Family upside down all by herself. Does she think she’s some sort of enchanting beauty that can cause national disasters? Isn’t this the definition of being overly presumptuous?”
Everyone: “…”
Initially, they didn’t think Jenny Kirk was that presumptuous.
But after hearing Victoria’s words, they suddenly realized just how presumptuous Jenny Kirk really was!
Does she think too highly of herself?
She even believed that due to her involvement, the Zhekova family might have a conflict.
What is she dreaming about?
Jenny Kirk: “…”
That wasn’t what she meant at all!
She was just trying to play the sympathy card by pretending to retreat.
How did it become ‘being presumptuous’ when it got to Victoria Wheeler?
Victoria Wheeler…
Just thinking about this name made Jenny’s heart ache.
She was Adrian Zhekova’s mother!
Since she liked Adrian, she had to win not only his favor but also that of his mother.
But now, leaving Adrian aside, his mother Victoria already seemed to dislike her.
This made Jenny Kirk feel that the road ahead would be tough.
She had watched the video that Adrian Zhekova posted on Facebook before.
Not only Cindy Clarke posted that video, but Adrian did too.
Not to mention that so many people were sharing it.
It was at the top of the hot topic list, how could she possibly have missed it?
Of course, she also noticed the support the elders in the Zhekova family showed Cindy in the video.
However, this contradicted what Gabriel Zhekova mentioned today.
Jenny Kirk only returned to China before the Spring Festival.
She wanted to take advantage of the festival period, hoping to reconnect with Adrian Zhekova.
She had been overseas for a long time and naturally didn’t know that Adrian was married.
Moreover, Adrian did not announce it widely at that time.
He just appeared at various events with Cindy without hiding it.
Only the folks inside their circle knew about it.
When Jenny Kirk came back, she couldn’t immediately rush to find Adrian.
So when she found out, it was on the third day of the New Year when she saw the video posted by Adrian and Cindy.
She saw all of Adrian’s friends sharing it.
Including Maverick Zhekova and Victoria Wheeler, they specially logged onto their official Facebook account to share it, showing their support.
Even the Old Master and Old Madam shared it as well.
The elderly couple may be old, but they always keep up with the trends and never let themselves fall out of touch with the modern era.
They are competent with all the social networks that young people commonly use online.
Including Facebook and Whatsapp.
Of course, there are fewer users on QQ now, but they used to use it a lot.
They often browse short videos on TicToc.
Old Madam would watch various videos uploaded by original creators on CouTube.
They are familiar with the mainstream platforms that young people play with online.
Therefore, they all logged into Facebook to share the post in no time, expressing their full support with words.
At that time, when Jenny Kirk saw these posts, it felt like she was dreaming, lacking any sense of reality.
How could Adrian… have gotten married so quietly?
Because she had returned to China before the festival, her university classmates had organised a reunion to welcome her.
During the dinner, Adrian Zhekova’s name was brought up.
They were questioning her about whether she had kept in touch with Adrian over the years
They hadn’t been following the events of the Cooking Competition.
After all, the Cooking Competition are within its niche, and did not make it into mainstream news.
It’s like how celebrities might be well-known, but their fan group activities are mostly just circulated within the fan groups.
Often, what seems like big news within these groups goes unnoticed by outsiders.
These classmates did not usually care about cooking events either.
So naturally, they didn’t know about the Cooking Competition.
Even less so about Zoe Silverstone, Iris Doone and the others creating a fuss.
They hadn’t even heard about the rumors between Adrian Zhekova and Cindy Clarke.
What they remembered was that during university, Jenny Kirk seemed to be the only person who could hold a conversation with Adrian.
Of course, to be able to “hold a conversation” meant having the courage to greet Adrian Zhekova directly.
No one else even had that courage.
Moreover, they all remembered Jenny vaguely implying at the time that her family had business dealings with the Zhekova Family.
So she had privately met Adrian and even chatted with him.

Although they weren’t very close, she had marked her presence around Adrian.
Jenny Kirk even played a cunning game back then.
After all, she had only implied it, not stated it outright.
How it was interpreted was based on the classmates’ own understanding.
If the classmates thought she was close to Adrian, that was their understanding.
She had never explicitly stated it.
If Adrian were to investigate this matter, she had the right to deny it.
Besides, she thought that Adrian wouldn’t waste his time investigating such a thing.
As Jenny Kirk speculated, Adrian didn’t investigate.
Because no one dared to gossip around Adrian or ask him if he was really close to Jenny.
However, after all these years, when these classmates questioned her again, their intentions weren’t entirely good.
After all, they’d also witnessed the moments when Adrian had ignored Jenny.
Therefore, while they wouldn’t say it publicly,
behind Jenny’s back, there was a lot of gossip about whether she was just boasting.
Maybe her relationship with Adrian wasn’t as good as she claimed it was.
Otherwise, why wouldn’t he even acknowledge her?
Later, Jenny Kirk went overseas.
After Adrian graduated, he naturally had no further contact with these junior classmates.
They weren’t close when they were in school, let alone after graduation.
Thus, they had no idea of Adrian’s current circumstance.
That’s why they would ask Jenny Kirk about Adrian at the reunion.
On one hand, they were curious about Adrian.
They had nothing better to do, might as well gossip!
On the other, they also wanted to see Jenny embarrass herself.
Didn’t she say she knew Adrian?
If she really knew him, had a real relationship with him, how could she not know about his ongoing affairs?
At that time, Jenny Kirk had no choice but to put on a brave face and make up some news.
For instance, she was studying overseas and didn’t come home every year.
Unlike regular international students who took every opportunity to go home during holidays,
whenever she had holidays, she would go out and travel the world with classmates.
She did not come home very often and hence didn’t come into contact with Adrian a lot.
However, she knew more about Adrian than her classmates did.
But how could Jenny Kirk not detect the mockery in her classmates’ words?
