Jennyfer fell silent when Albert mentioned Jackson. The man who had actually been her husband for the past two years—something she had never known. They had lived so close all this time, yet Jackson had hidden the truth of their marriage from her.It hurt. Jennyfer’s heart ached deeply.Ever since that night, after seeing how cruel and heartless Jackson had become toward her, Jennyfer had made a firm decision in her heart. Yes. She truly wasn’t worthy of standing beside someone like Jackson, who now shone far brighter than before. Perhaps he had hidden their marriage because he believed she wasn’t on his level.All those thoughts had driven Jennyfer to decide that she would never again see anyone connected to her past. She wanted to start a new life alone, in a small rented room at the edge of the city that she had found recently.She was still unstable—emotionally lost and uncertain about what to do. At first, she had thought of helping her parents free her sister, Brielle, but that

Part of his mind kept whispering that he shouldn’t care about that little girl anymore. But deep down, his heart still longed to know how she was doing—the girl who had cruelly thrown him away. That desire grew even stronger when he recalled Bramasta’s and Madam Ester’s words earlier that day.His phone had finally powered on, and Jackson started searching for Jennyfer’s number. He wanted to check whether the girl’s phone was currently active or not.His perfectly shaped dark brows furrowed together, exuding an aura of strength. The Adam’s apple on his neck moved up and down rapidly as he swallowed hard.“It hasn’t been active for ten days? That’s around the time Jenny came to the main office…”Jackson thought with a growing sense of dread. His Adam’s apple bobbed faster as he swallowed his saliva over and over again. It suddenly tasted salty—caused by the panic surging inside him.He quickly opened his message inbox.[Brother, Jenny wants to talk.]Jackson read the message sent by Je

Jennyfer truly didn’t want to see Jackson again. Everything that had happened recently had already wounded and scarred her heart too deeply.“N-no. Not yet—I haven’t told him. But…” Albert trailed off.“But what? Did something happen to Mr. President?” Jennyfer asked again, her face growing more anxious.“Y-yes.”“What happened to him? Is he sick?!” Jennyfer blurted out, worry clear in her expression.Albert smiled faintly to himself. He could see it now—how much this young lady truly loved his boss. It was written all over her face, in her eyes filled with panic and concern.“Worse than that, Miss.”“W-what?! Speak properly, will you? Don’t stop halfway like that!” Jennyfer snapped, her frustration showing. She hated how Albert’s vague words only made her more anxious.Albert gave a small, crooked smile and pulled out his phone from his pocket. After searching for something on it, he handed the phone to Jennyfer.Jennyfer grabbed the phone quickly, her brows furrowed tightly. Her che

Jennyfer grumbled inwardly, feeling that her life had truly never been peaceful since Albert had seen her there. And perhaps that was what made her head ache constantly these past few days.“Thank you, Amak. I’ll excuse myself for a bit,” Jennyfer finally said before walking away from the cashier’s counter.“What is it this time, Mr. Albert?”As soon as she reached Albert’s side, Jennyfer threw the question sharply, her voice sounding far from friendly.Albert, who was sitting with his back to the entrance, immediately turned to look at her.“Young Miss, I need to discuss something important,” Albert said nervously, especially after seeing the irritation written all over her face.“What else do you want to talk about? Didn’t we already settle everything last night?!”Albert quickly stood up and pulled out a chair.“Please, sit down, Young Miss. I really need to discuss something very serious this time.”Jennyfer let out a rough sigh and dropped herself onto the chair, her expression s

Jennyfer couldn’t say a word, her eyes widening in shock at what Jackson had just done in front of everyone. The whole thing happened so fast that she couldn’t react—let alone resist.Once she regained her senses, both of Jennyfer’s hands immediately pushed against Jackson’s chest with all the strength she had left. But of course, that muscular body didn’t even budge—not even a little. Instead, his kiss grew even more intense.Albert had been shocked when he heard the word “wife” come out of Jackson’s mouth earlier. But now, despite the blood trickling from the corner of his lips, he couldn’t help but smile inwardly. He had already guessed that his President Director wouldn’t resort to hitting the woman he loved so much. The punishment Jackson gave his young lady this time seemed quite fitting—after all, she was being incredibly stubborn.Jennyfer tried again, pushing hard against her husband’s chest while stomping her foot beneath him. She stepped down forcefully on Jackson’s shoe.S
