The Headline Queen: President Hawthorne is Her Die-Hard Fan!-Chapter 503: Did You Hear Me

Their family has been spreading the news everywhere that their daughter is about to marry into a wealthy family, and now Jordan doesn’t want Renee anymore. Isn’t that going to make their family lose face completely?

The wealthy son-in-law who was almost in their grasp is now lost. Can they let this go?

While Mr. and Mrs. Raines were fuming, Renee spoke again, "Mom, I don’t understand, why is he treating me like this? What did I do wrong?"

Mrs. Raines said, "Don’t worry, I’m sure there’s more to this than meets the eye. When Yorke said he wanted to marry you, he was so sincere. How could he just be playing with you? Calm down first..."

"But he said it to me himself, he doesn’t want me anymore. He still thinks my family is too poor. Boohoo, Mom, I’m so sad..."

Mrs. Raines comforted her daughter, "Renee, you have to pull yourself together. You need to find out why Jordan broke up with you, so you can win him back."

Renee’s expression went blank for a few seconds, then she suddenly said, "It must be that woman named Penelope Thatcher. She must have found out that Brother Yorke was going to marry me, and her dreams of a wealthy marriage shattered. So she used some trick to force Brother Yorke to break up with me. That scheming woman, she’s so vicious!"

First, she wouldn’t leave Jordan Yorke’s home, and now she greedily wants to have Jordan Yorke?

What makes her think that she can?

Mrs. Raines also felt that it might be that woman’s doing.

Jordan Yorke is too easily swayed, and maybe that woman has a hold on him. If they don’t think of a solution soon, that woman might end up marrying Jordan Yorke.

"Renee, go and get to the bottom of it. If it really has to do with that woman, you can dispel any misunderstandings with Yorke and face the hardship together. She’s just one woman, what’s the big deal? No matter how cunning she is, as long as Yorke’s heart is with you, she can’t beat you."

Renee nodded, "Okay, Mom, I’ll listen to you..."

But in her heart, she had already hated that woman named Penelope Thatcher to the extreme.

Anyone who obstructed her from marrying into a wealthy family was an archenemy she couldn’t tolerate.

Meanwhile, in the apartment, Penelope Thatcher thought that Jordan Yorke had already left, so she called a new cleaner to tidy up the room.

Unexpectedly, Jordan Yorke returned midway.

And regardless of how ugly Penelope Thatcher’s expression was, Jordan Yorke marched straight into the guest room and flopped onto the bed without moving.

He didn’t regard himself as an outsider at all.

Now that he had broken up with Renee, Penelope Thatcher should be satisfied, right? Surely she wouldn’t force him to move out?

Seeing him so listless, with a slightly pale face, the words Penelope wanted to say about kicking him out immediately got stuck in her throat.

She entered the guest room and asked Jordan Yorke, "Jordan Yorke, are you alright?"

Seeing that he didn’t answer, she asked again, "Are you not feeling well?"

Jordan Yorke still ignored Penelope Thatcher.

For this woman, Penelope Thatcher, he had given up so much. Although he was now with Penelope Thatcher, it was all forced. He would never love this woman, and not only that, he hated her.

He hated her for breaking up a perfect couple, for forcing him to part from the woman he loved.

At this moment, Penelope Thatcher had no business being in front of him.

Yet Penelope Thatcher appeared anyway, and kept talking to him, making him feel utterly annoyed.

"Penelope Thatcher, are you done talking? Can’t you just let me be for a moment? Are you not satisfied unless you drive me to despair?"

Penelope Thatcher looked puzzled, "What do you mean?"

In her own home and daring to throw a tantrum? Where did Jordan Yorke get this audacity?

Jordan Yorke said irritably, "I’m in a very bad mood right now. Don’t bother me, let me have some peace."

"If you want peace, go outside. What do you mean by having peace in my house?"

Did he really plan to stay and not leave?

If that’s the case, she didn’t mind calling the police.

Seeing Jordan Yorke lying on the bed pretending to be dead, Penelope Thatcher went over to pull him up.

"Jordan Yorke, get up right now, pack your things, and leave immediately. Do you hear me? Otherwise, I’ll call the security!"

Jordan Yorke’s face turned ugly, was she still using this to threaten him?

He had already broken up with Renee, what more did she want from him?

"Penelope Thatcher, when will you be satisfied? I’ve already broken up with Renee, given you what you wanted, and now I have no love left. What else do you want? Just because I’ve chosen to stay by your side doesn’t mean you can do whatever you want. Let me tell you, in this lifetime, the only person I love is Renee, and no one can replace her in my heart."

Penelope Thatcher couldn’t understand a word he was saying.

"Jordan Yorke, are you insane?"

"You’re the one who’s insane!"

Jordan Yorke was furious. The thought of spending the rest of his life with such a woman made his life feel especially miserable.

"Penelope Thatcher, my patience with you has reached its limit. I hope you don’t provoke me any further. Please leave, and in the future, be more courteous to me. I really don’t like your attitude."

Penelope Thatcher: "...?"

Where did this lunatic come from? She really couldn’t understand Jordan Yorke anymore.

"Jordan Yorke, you..."

But Jordan Yorke’s voice was even louder than hers.

"Alright, Penelope Thatcher, I don’t want to hear another word from you. Please stop being unreasonable and get out of here right now, do you hear me?"

Penelope Thatcher chuckled lightly, didn’t argue with Jordan Yorke any longer, and simply left the room to knock on the door next door.

Next door, her bodyguards were staying, and she planned to have them escort Jordan Yorke out immediately.

But then she suddenly remembered, Jordan Yorke had also stolen a lot of things from her. As the victim, shouldn’t she at least hold him accountable in some manner?

After all, the Thatcher family’s money didn’t just fall from the sky. It’s one thing for her to squander it, but why should she let Jordan Yorke waste it?

While Penelope Thatcher discussed with the bodyguards how to retrieve that money, Jordan Yorke received a call from Renee Raines.

Renee Raines cried on the phone, saying she wanted to have a good talk with Jordan Yorke.

Her crying tore Jordan Yorke’s heart apart. Renee had been so good to him, never despising him for being a country bumpkin, never minding that he had no money. Mr. and Mrs. Raines were also so kind to him. He had promised to marry Renee, but he had gone back on his word.

How painful this must be for Renee right now, crying so sadly. He should be comforting her by her side at this moment.

But he couldn’t do it, not now; if he did, everything would be for nothing. He had to harden his heart and refuse Renee.

"Renee, let’s just leave it be. I’ve explained it clearly to you. I hope that from now on, we go our separate ways and have no further dealings."

His heart was bleeding.

"No, Brother Yorke, I beg you, I love you so much. How can you do this to me? I can’t live without you; I’d die..."

She sobbed her heart out, "Brother Yorke, if you really want to break up with me, at least tell me the real reason, so I know what’s wrong with me. If it really is my fault, I swear I’ll never bother you again. I’ll quietly disappear from your life and wish you and another woman happiness until the end."

Jordan Yorke: "Renee, it’s really not about you. It’s me who wronged you. Please don’t feel guilty, okay?"

"How can I not feel guilty? Brother Yorke, you’re so wonderful, there’s no way you’d do this to me for no reason. It must be my fault; that’s why you’re treating me this way."

This silly girl, still believing in him at this point, blaming herself for everything, without a hint of resentment towards him.

How could he bear it?

"Renee, I’m not the man who can bring you happiness. I can only bring you misfortune. Listen to me, forget about me. You need to live a happy life in the future, only then will I feel at ease."

The two of them went back and forth on the issue, culminating in a melodramatic scene akin to "I don’t want to hear it, I don’t want to hear it".
