Andreas spread a wide smile, just as he opened his arms to welcome his youngest daughter—whom he had worried about so much while he was away.Jennyfer ran straight into her father’s warm embrace, something she had longed for all this time. When she was little, she used to wait eagerly for her father to return home from his office, which wasn’t far from their house—so she could finally escape her mother’s scolding and her sister’s bullying. Now that she was grown and her father had to work abroad, Jennyfer had been counting the days, yearning for this reunion after so long without being able to talk or see him at all.Inside, Brielle watched the touching scene with narrowed eyes, a mocking smile tugging at one corner of her lips.Enjoy this warm welcome first—before the other kinds of “welcomes” leave you speechless and helpless later!“What time did you arrive, Dad?”“Not long ago. I was supposed to arrive this afternoon, but the flight was delayed.”“Have you eaten yet, Dad?”“Not ye

At first, Mr. Andreas had already nodded in understanding. But after hearing Brielle’s accusation just now, the middle-aged man furrowed his brows again.“Of course not. We never did anything like that. Sister, don’t compare Brother Jackson to Jacob! He’s a bastard and insane! Brother Jackson is nothing like him—he’s kind and selfless!”Jennyfer spoke angrily in response to Brielle’s words.“Oh really? You say that—then what exactly did Jacob do to you?!” Brielle asked casually, yet her tone was probing.“Maybe Sister Brielle knows better what kind of man Jacob really is. Didn’t you use to be very close to him? Even when you were still Brother Jackson’s wife, there were times you didn’t come home because you were out with him. Isn’t that right? Maybe that’s why Brother divorced you all of a sudden?!”Normally, she would’ve stayed quiet, but this time Jennyfer wanted her father—who had just returned home—to know at least a little about what her sister had done when she was still Jackso

“If Jackson wants to, what can we do? Have you even treated him well all this time?! I think he left because he couldn’t stand being our son-in-law anymore.”Crikk, crikk!Silence.Madam Ester’s face immediately turned red. Apparently, Mr. Andreas didn’t need to see things firsthand to reach that conclusion. After living so many years with his wife, he already knew her inside and out—he didn’t need any explanations.“Excuse me...”Suddenly, Albert walked into the house and bowed respectfully toward Jennyfer.“Young Miss, the President Director has requested that you return home immediately,” Albert said politely, his tone full of respect.Brielle froze upon hearing Jackson’s trusted man call her younger sister “Young Miss.” That was supposed to be her title—one reserved for someone of high standing. A mix of hatred, anger, and jealousy ate away at her heart, leaving her deeply wounded.Just like Brielle, Madam Ester was equally stunned to see Jackson’s right-hand man treating her youn

From the beginning, Joan already knew what kind of relationship his best friend had with his older stepbrother — the son of his stepmother from her previous marriage. He also knew very well how much Jackson hated and resented his father back then, and that was exactly why he hadn’t informed him yet that his stepbrother had suddenly started working there as a lecturer. He thought maybe his friend would find out himself on the day Bramasta began his job.Jackson froze in disbelief when he heard that it was his father’s doing. Instantly, his mind wandered back to what Albert had once said — that his father, stepmother, and stepbrother had all visited him when he was hospitalized. Suspicion filled his mind; he began to wonder if all of this was a setup, another trick by his stepbrother to get rid of him again.Without another word, Jackson hung up the call and immediately opened the car door.“I’ll be going first, Mr. Bram,” Jennyfer said politely as soon as she noticed Jackson walking to

Jennyfer stared at the three familiar faces in front of her with utter bewilderment. She couldn’t comprehend why her family members were present in the middle of an event held at Jackson’s luxurious residence.“Just a moment ago, Jenny. We were picked up by the same man who brought you that day,” said Mr. Andreas, his face glowing with joy upon seeing his daughter.“Oh, Mr. Albert.”“Yes, Father, Mother. I’m sorry I couldn’t pick you up myself — my schedule has been a bit too tight,” Jackson said politely.Thump!His words stunned Jennyfer again. The way he called them Father and Mother sent her heart into confusion.Meanwhile, Mr. Andreas looked relaxed and genuinely happy to hear that greeting from his son-in-law — or perhaps, still his son-in-law, based on what he just heard.Madam Ester’s smile stretched even wider after hearing Jackson’s address. She was now certain that she would remain Jackson’s mother-in-law forever. And with that, her social standing would rise. It no longer
