After Alvin’s death, Jaelynn rarely returned to the military base, and her impression of Glenn was limited.
The most memorable moments were when she personally carried him off the operating table and when he looked at her with hatred after someone broke his leg.
In the blink of an eye, Glenn underwent a complete transformation. He became colder, more dangerous.
“Aunt, this will be the last time I address you as my aunt.”
“From now on, Glenn and the Weaver family are at odds!”
There was a sudden thud.
Iker, who was standing beside them, deliberately glanced at Glenn. He had heard of the name “Master Glenn” before, but as someone in the military and someone in business, they had no overlap, so they were not familiar with each other.
If it weren’t for the fact that he was Cheyenne’s friend’s husband, they might never have met in their lifetime.
Strictly speaking, this was Iker’s second time meeting Master Glenn, and this time… he was surprised and also admired him.
To risk everything and defy the family for the sake of love, that kind of courage was commendable. As someone with a similar temperament, Iker was actually quite envious of him.
At least Glenn still had a chance to fight for love. In comparison, his own situation was more miserable because even if he wanted to take a chance, he didn’t have the opportunity.
Cheyenne and Kelvin had such a good relationship that he was destined to only be a spectator in his entire life.
Just as Jaelynn was incredulously looking at him, about to erupt in anger again, Iker, who had been silent, suddenly spoke up, “Master Glenn, you have boldness. I admire you!”
They weren’t familiar with each other, so Glenn was surprised and grateful that Iker spoke up for him and nodded lightly.
Iker walked expressionlessly in front of Jaelynn, his narrow, sharp eyes piercing her face as he disdainfully sneered.
“You don’t have to thank me. The reason I said that is entirely because of Cheyenne. And Jaelynn, daring to go against her… has thoroughly provoked me!”
Although Iker was explaining to Glenn, he was actually intentionally speaking for Jaelynn to hear, revealing his intention as the young master of the Todd family and the youngest general who wanted to support Cheyenne.
In terms of age, Jaelynn was undoubtedly Iker’s elder.
But in terms of position, the two of them were on equal footing. Moreover, Iker personally led the special forces that the President personally named, so he held real power.
Jaelynn was subtly being overshadowed.
If it were someone else, they might have understood the situation and apologized before leaving.
Unfortunately, the women of the Weaver family had been brainwashed over the years and truly believed they were invincible.
Jaelynn was still immersed in her past achievements, and when facing Iker, she still felt that this menacing young man respected her!
She was the only female general in Chulae, and also his elder!
“Young man, be respectful! Your father and I were comrades-in-arms back then. I respected him and called him Mr. Todd. Don’t you think you should address me as your elder?”
Upon hearing this, a hint of displeasure flashed across Iker’s cold and cool face.
“To be able to treat my father, a fickle old mane, as a comrade. It seems you don’t have any ambitions. Or perhaps you still fantasize about being my stepmother?”
Though Mr. Todd had passed away, Iker still held a grudge against the former.
Jaelynn was infuriated and even a bit embarrassed after hearing these words.
The fact was indeed as Iker had guessed. Years ago, the Edwards family and the Harrison family had intentions of a union to prevent the Weaver family from being in a passive situation.
Violet had considered a union between the Weaver family and the Todd family. At that time, the Todd family was a rising star in politics. Mr. Todd was handsome, capable, and had just become a widower, attracting many women.
Within the Weaver family, only Violet and Jaelynn held similar status and age.
As the head of the family, Violet was already married with children, so the hoLibbyble task fell onto Jaelynn’s shoulders.
Moreover, since she was in the military, as a female soldier, she had more opportunities to meet Mr. Todd than other women.
Proximity to power leads to opportunity.
Unfortunately, Iker’s father saw himself as a tough man who preferred delicate beauties over strong women like Jaelynn, as evidenced by the types of his four previous wives.
Jaelynn, proud and lofty back then, believed herself to be a strong woman of high status, thinking it would be an honor for Mr. Todd to marry her.
It made no sense for Mr. Todd not to like her.
They had one meeting, but nothing came of it, which enraged Jaelynn.
Thus, she intentionally targeted Iker’s father in training, causing him to be injured, which indirectly led to him bringing Erica back to adopt.
In the end, Mr. Todd married three women without considering her, and Jaelynn never became Iker’s father’s wife.
She remained unmarried, now a woman in her forties.
If she had married Mr. Todd back then, she would be Master Iker’s stepmother now.
In that case, Iker would not be as arrogant in front of her.
Of course, this was her own speculation. To Iker, there were only two kinds of people: those he approved of, and those he didn’t.
Unfortunately, Jaelynn belonged to the latter.
But she was unaware of this, still holding onto the matchmaking event from years ago as a way to teach the younger generation some respect.
“Disrespecting your elders, no wonder you mess with women like Cheyenne, because you are just like them.”
In his mind, Cheyenne was the best person, and Iker wouldn’t allow anyone to disparage her.
“What’s wrong with Miss Lawrence? Isn’t she much better than you with a bad temper, unattractive appearance, and malicious heart?”
“If you want to be my elder, go marry my father in the heavens first.”
“You!”
The men from the Todd family were the people Jaelynn hated most in her life. Iker’s father abandoned her, and now his son dared to bully her. They acted as if she was a pushover.
Before she could act, Iker was faster, swiftly disarming her in the blink of an eye.
“I suggest General Jaelynn think twice. We are equals, if you harm me, you may end up behind bars for life!”
With that, Iker handed her the gun.
The humiliation made Jaelynn feel ashamed. Without a word, she coldly left, not even wanting the gun anymore.
“I’ll remember this humiliation!”
The man leisurely took out a cigarette from his military coat and lit it.
“Oh well, whatever.”
