Don't Fall For Me, CEO-Chapter 1187: The Thorny Rose

The doctors and nurses rushed over as soon as they heard the alarm, and Jennings was also trying hard to persuade Joseph.

"Dad, you can’t get agitated now; it could cost you your life."

"If the Marsden Estate is gone, what’s the point of my life?"

Joseph completely lost control.

Because Marsden Estate was the face of the Marsden Family, the place he had lived in since birth, and the pillar of his spirit.

If even this is taken away by July Quinn, what’s the meaning of living?

"I want to be discharged right now. I want to fight July Quinn to the death."

Joseph ignored the doctors and nurses’ attempts to stop him, tossed off the covers, and tried to run out of the ward.

No matter how Jennings tried to restrain him, he couldn’t, so he had the doctor give Joseph a sedative.

With the injection, Joseph finally calmed down.

But as he slipped into slumber, tears trickled from the corners of his eyes.

He had lived his entire life at the pinnacle of power and wealth, and couldn’t accept being defeated so thoroughly, especially by a young girl so much younger than him.

Jennings felt terribly distressed watching Joseph shed tears.

He never imagined that their thriving Marsden Family could fall so completely.

His once proud father now wore a hospital gown, unable to do anything in the hospital, relying on various instruments to sustain his life.

And the cause of all this was July Quinn.

She was beautiful!

In his memory, every feature of hers matched his aesthetic taste perfectly, making him, who never considered marriage, contemplate it for the first time.

But reality proved that roses have thorns.

For his foolish idea of marriage, he paid a painful price.

At this moment, Jennings also recalled his father Joseph and Laura Quinn.

Joseph claimed it was to secure the Quinn Family’s fortune, spending almost half his life dealing with Laura Quinn, forcing her to move into the Marsden Estate.

He had once mocked his father in his heart for such foolishness — there were plenty of women with good family backgrounds, so why cling to Laura Quinn?

Clung to her for so long, without even a chance to get close.

But now thinking back, he and his father were actually not much different.

They both dreamed of reaching for the impossible; his father at least dealt with the swan, while he didn’t even touch the swan’s feather and got swallowed whole by the swan.

Jennings, in front of Joseph’s hospital bed, painfully covered his head with both hands, repeatedly reflecting in the intertwining of tears and despair.

Between love and family interests, he had to choose.

A whole day passed like this, and Jennings did not drink a drop.

When he stood up again, the confusion in his eyes had completely vanished.

His father’s illness, the imminent danger facing the Marsden Family, took away all of Jennings’ love and humanity.

Jennings chose family interests, so he became another Jennings.

He took out his phone and contacted Anna immediately.

"How far along is the plan my father discussed with you?"

"Good! I’ll arrange for manpower soon; make sure nothing can go wrong!"

"Pleasure working with you, Anna!"

Because the Marsden Family indeed lost quite a sum on several projects, causing the investor "Earl" to suffer significant losses, the court ruled that the Marsden Family compensate by giving the Marsden Estate to the "Earl."

As soon as the verdict was issued, almost everyone in Desrozin City sighed.

Who could have imagined that the Marsden Family, which had stood tall in Desrozin City for hundreds of years, would end up losing even its iconic residence?

On the day the Marsden Estate was handed over, July Quinn and Jennings met...
