Bramasta spoke with a smile hidden in his heart. At that moment, he began to come up with a plan to take advantage of the situation—it turned out not to be as difficult as he had imagined. But of course, he would have to wait for the right time to use the leverage he would gain later in exchange for his help.With Jennyfer’s current predicament, Bramasta started planning his grand scheme—one that would surely enrage Jackson, maybe even push him to the point of hitting him. And if that really happened, his stepfather would finally witness the brutality of the biological son he had trusted so much. Yes, that was Bramasta’s main goal—to get closer to the person dearest to Jackson. The man was now pleased to see a small opening he could exploit.“Thank you, Brother. Honestly, I feel bad for troubling you. But I really have no other way to help Sister Brielle escape the punishment she’s facing.”“Jackson? Why didn’t you ask him for help?” Bramasta asked impulsively, curious to know the rea

As usual, today when Jennyfer finished her classes, she had lunch again with Bramasta at a luxurious restaurant. For several days now, they had been having lunch together there.“Jenny, have you thought about what I said last night?”They had just sat down when Bramasta immediately attacked Jennyfer with the same question she had yet to answer since last night.“Does Brother Bram really have to meet my parents first? Can’t you just go ahead and take care of it—to help Jenny get Sister Brielle out of prison?”Jennyfer repeated the same question she had asked the night before, though their conversation had been cut short because she had already arrived at Jackson’s luxurious mansion, which was tightly guarded and didn’t allow outsiders to enter.Each time, Bramasta could only stop at the terrace. Of course, several guards were always on duty there, monitoring the security without rest—even at night and into the early morning, as they worked in shifts.“Of course I have to,” Bramasta rep

Suddenly, Jennyfer came up with an idea. At least she had to try first—whether it worked or not would come later. What mattered now was that tomorrow, she would not go through with that insane engagement she had never even imagined before.“Preparation? No need. I’ve taken care of everything. You just need to show up. Tonight, I’ll take you home after we collect all your clothes from Jackson’s place.”Her heart pounded again, faster and heavier. Bramasta was really going to take her home to her parents’ house tonight. But she hadn’t told or asked permission from Jackson yet. After all, right now she was still a guarantee under his care.No. Jenny can’t go home before saying goodbye to Brother. When will Brother come back here? I have to call him tonight.“I-I can’t do that. I have to talk to Brother Jackson first. Right now, I belong to him because I’m being held as Grandma’s loan guarantee. I have to take responsibility until the end, and I won’t break my promise to Grandma Hima.”“H

“Hmm. There’s Brother Bram who will help Jenny.”Jackson clenched his jaw tightly as he once again heard Jennyfer glorify that despicable man who had stolen his happiness all this time. Even his mother had managed to take his father away not long after his mother passed away.The pain in his chest burned hotter, and with his emotions spiraling out of control, Jackson decided to stay silent rather than risk yelling at the girl who was, in fact, his own wife.“Jenny wants to rest now.”Without waiting for Jackson’s response, Jennyfer stood up and walked straight into her room.Jackson sat motionless where he was. His thoughts were in complete disarray. The problem he faced wasn’t as simple as he had imagined. It turned out Jennyfer’s heart had never once held his name in it. And now, that little girl of his had the audacity to say she was dating Bramasta and didn’t need him anymore?!What the hell?!I knew it. Fine then... let’s see if there’s really another man who loves you more since

Jackson rose from his bed and immediately got ready to start his new day. Today, there were plenty of tasks that required his attention. Because of last night, a lot of work that only he could handle had been neglected—and all due to personal matters that, as of this moment, were finally settled.Most importantly, there was something essential he needed to establish today.“Good morning, Young Master.”The servant greeted Jackson as he came downstairs and walked straight toward the dining room.His handsome face had changed. The usual smile he wore in past days was gone. The light of life that once shone in his eyes had vanished. What remained was a cold, stiff face exuding a chilling aura of sarcasm and intimidation, making everyone lower their heads, too afraid to speak.After eating just enough, Jackson left his plate still half full—something he never did before.His car sped down the crowded morning streets. Jackson drove fast with a serious face, focused entirely so he wouldn’t
