“Thank you. Brother has always been so kind to Jenny. Jenny feels very lucky to know and be close to a ‘Brother’ like you.”Jackson smiled faintly, though deep inside his heart ached.Yes… his little girl only saw him as a brother.“All right, everyone. Please enjoy the dinner and the variety of drinks we’ve prepared. I hope you’ll all be entertained by the rest of tonight’s performances.”After saying those few brief words, Jackson took Jennyfer’s hand, and they both stepped down from the stage. The MC immediately took over again, announcing the next segment that would feature several top singers.To most of the guests, Jackson and Jennyfer looked like a perfect match—a handsome man standing beside a beautiful woman who carried herself with elegance and grace. Only a few pairs of eyes in the crowd looked at them with envy and resentment.The dinner continued. Everyone enjoyed their meals while listening to performances from some of the city’s most popular singers.Jackson and Jennyfe

Too late. Inspector Rahardiansyah and Bernard were already right behind the two women, while Albert had also jumped into the pool to assist his president.“Where do you think you’re going?!”Inspector Rahardiansyah’s loud voice echoed through the area. In an instant, he and Bernard grabbed Brielle and Siska by their wrists.Without hesitation, Rahardiansyah cuffed Brielle’s hands, then turned and did the same to Siska, both of whom were now completely powerless.The commotion immediately sent the guests into a panic. They rushed outside to see what was happening — including Madam Ester and Mr. Andreas. The moment Madam Ester saw her eldest daughter in handcuffs, her eyes widened in shock.“What’s going on?!”“What happened?!”Questions burst out from every direction, voices trembling in disbelief as they witnessed the two women restrained before their eyes.Meanwhile, Jennyfer — who couldn’t swim — had already sunk deep beneath the water’s surface. Under the dim lighting, visibility w

Albert was still waiting outside for Jackson’s next order after finishing the arrangements for Miss Jennyfer’s private hospital room.“Nurse, let’s get ready to transfer Miss Jennyfer to the upstairs suite,” the doctor instructed, asking his nurses to prepare for the move to the VVIP room that Albert had just arranged.Jackson, who had been sitting quietly, gently stroking Jennyfer’s fingers, was only waiting for his beloved girl to be moved so they could finally rest.“Brother?”Jennyfer suddenly called out in surprise, breaking the silence.“Hmm? What is it?”“Brother, your arm is bleeding?!” she asked, still startled.“It’s nothing, just a little.”“What do you mean a little?! Doctor, please treat Mr. Jackson’s arm first,” Jennyfer said quickly, calling to the doctor nearby.“Oh, alright. Please, Mr. Jackson, have a seat.”The doctor gestured for Jackson to sit down on the chair next to his equipment.Jackson smiled faintly, realizing that even after everything, Jennyfer still noti

If my hug tonight can make you feel better and help you heal, then fine… I’ll hold you all night long. Even though Jenny knows Brother already has the woman of his dreams out there, still… let tonight be the most beautiful memory of my life, Jennyfer thought, her heart pounding uncontrollably.Slowly, she lifted her arm and wrapped it around Jackson’s broad chest. Jennyfer closed her eyes tightly, trying to hide her embarrassment at what she had just done.“Your arm will hurt,” Jackson whispered when he felt Jennyfer hugging him, noticing the IV line still attached to her hand.“It doesn’t hurt. Let’s just sleep.”Jackson lowered her head into his warm embrace, pressing her face against his bare chest until her cheek brushed against his neck.At that moment, Jennyfer caught a scent she had never smelled before—the natural scent of Jackson’s skin, even though he wasn’t wearing any cologne. That faint masculine scent drew her in, making her keep sniffing it like it was something she wan

“That’s right, Mr. Jackson.”“All right, Inspector. Thank you for handling everything.”“Yes, Mr. Jackson. If anything happens, don’t hesitate to contact me.”“Understood, Inspector.”Click.“Who’s getting five years in prison, Brother?”Just as the call ended, Jennyfer’s voice came from right beside Jackson’s ear.Startled, Jackson fell silent, letting out a slow breath. He hesitated, unsure how to tell his little girl what had happened to her own sister.Bzzz... bzzz...Before Jackson could reply, Jennyfer’s phone rang. He felt slightly relieved—at least it gave him a moment to think about how to break the news gently so that she would understand.“Yes, hello, Mom?”Jennyfer answered hesitantly when she saw her mother’s name on the screen. It had been days since the drowning incident, yet neither her father nor her mother had come to visit her at the hospital. Her heart had been full of questions, though her lips had stayed silent.“Jenny! How could you accuse your sister of being b
