CHAPTER 445-JEREMY'S WARNING "If you think I can't punish you, Jesse, you'd be surprised at what I can do," Jeremy warned through clenched teeth, his eyes flashing with the intensity of his anger.He was practically furious that Jesse had dared to say those words to him, her eyes filled with no hint of apology.Jesse, on the other hand, stood unmoved, her eyes glowing with confidence. She hadn't been one to give up; her resilience was something her husband had always admired in her. Jeremy wasn't one to shake her."I'm not afraid of you, Jeremy. I have never been afraid of anyone, never have been and never will be," Jesse said confidently, her voice dripping with every ounce of confidence.One thing she had learned over the years was to never let her opponents feel that she was afraid of anything. She had been able to keep her emotions in check for years and had never let anyone see through her facade."You may not have been afraid of anything, but when I'm done with you, you will wi

CHAPTER 447-WARNING Immediately Jeremy ended the call, clenching his hands at his side in anger. The audacity of the so-called Senator's wife.Jeremy was so angry about what had happened. I didn't like the way Avery was so shaken by the women's foolishness.He was not happy with what the senator's wife had done. What had Avery ever done to her that she would plot something so despicable against her?He would make sure that everyone involved in what had happened would face the full wrath of the law.He was glad that Avery had called him when she did, otherwise they would have traumatized her even more with something that was actually false.He knew how long it had taken Avery to recover from his uncle's kidnapping. At one point, he thought she would never recover, but because she was a fighter, she had indeed fought through the traumatic experience.And now the Senator's wife has decided to put her through a similar experience."Who does she think she is, to pull a plan like that on s

CHAPTER 449-BUSHMAN The moment Mr Bushman uttered those words, the rest of the men looked at him with bewilderment in their eyes."What do you mean and what are we missing?" The Senator was the one who asked.He had actually expected something better from Mr Bushman than what he had just said."You can't treat him like that," Mr Bushman reminded him sternly.He knew he hadn't spoken since the men had started talking, but he needed to make some things clear to them so they wouldn't make the wrong decisions."You better be careful with your words Bushman, it's like you didn't hear the complaints he made about what Jeremy had done to him. The same thing happened to me, you know," Raymond was the one to speak up now, his voice thick with anger and the frustration boiling inside him.He had expected Mr Bushman to say things that would lift their spirits, or look for better ways to deal with Jeremy with ease, but the words he heard made him wonder if Bushman was with them at all."What hap

CHAPTER 451-REUNION Kennedy West parked his car on the sidewalk, got out, and looked around. He had never been on this side of town before. He looked at the bar, the sign above it said Relaxo Bar and Diner.Hefty looking bouncers stood at the entrance, directing people in and out. The place looked crowded and cozy, and the bar was in a good location.He looked around before entering the bar, looking for his friends. They had planned to have a drink together, since it had been a long time since they had gotten together to have a drink and discuss various life events."Hello Kennedy, over here," one of his friends Andrew signaled him from a corner of the bar.Three of them were already seated, he happened to be the last to arrive, making it four."You haven't changed, always the last to arrive at any gathering," Andrew muttered as he shook Kennedy's hand before giving him a brotherly hug. The others did the same before he took his seat."How did you find this place, it looks very nice

CHAPTER 453-MIA'S SCHOOL"Are you sure you don't want me to come with you?" Avery asked as she watched Jeremy leave, her eyes filled with emotion.She didn't understand why she felt this way since Jeremy was preparing to leave the house.It was more like she was supposed to go with him and she couldn't just ignore the feeling in her stomach that made her helpless."You don't have to come with me Avery, it's just business and I'll be back in no time. It's funny how you were the one who was surprised that I decided to stay with you," Jeremy said with a mischievous smile on his lips.Jeremy knew that Avery was a smart person and this was the best way to avoid any suspicions she might have, to reassure her that there was nothing to worry about, but rather his heart was filled with so many uncertainties, different thoughts swirling through his head about why he had been called and what it meant that Mia, his daughter, had fought someone."See you later, love," Jeremy managed to say as he f
