Chapter 271. Very Selfish
Jennyfer stayed quiet as she continued to gently rub the bruises on Jackson’s chest. She looked helpless, but she had already decided earlier that evening to start setting clear boundaries between them — limits on things they used to do so freely.The air grew heavy and awkward. A long silence filled the room until finally, Jennyfer got up and left after finishing tending to Jackson’s injuries.-“I’ll take full responsibility!”Mr. Emerald declared firmly, his tone loud and unwavering. He and his young wife were currently at the police station, where Mr. Emerald was trying to have Bramasta released so he could return home with them.“I’m sorry, Mr. Emerald, but we can’t proceed without Mr. Jackson’s approval,” said Commander Rahardiansyah politely.“You’re the officer in charge of this case, aren’t you, Mr. Hardy? Why should we need Jackson’s approval?! Who does he think he is?!”Mrs. Marina’s voice rang out sharply, startling the commander.Does she seriously not know who Jackson is
Chapter 272. Revenge Without Reason
“Hm,” Jennyfer hummed softly, nodding slightly.Jackson grew curious. Yes — he was curious to see how his girl would act, especially if he ended up arguing again with his own father.“Alright, let’s go,” Jackson said with a wide smile, taking Jennyfer’s hand and walking down the stairs together.Just as the two of them turned to descend the staircase, Mr. Emerald and Mrs. Marina were already stepping into the grand mansion.That elite estate had actually been purchased long ago by Jackson’s late mother — a preparation for her only son’s future. It eventually became her final resting place too, something Jackson himself had decided on. He had done it so that, even after death, he wouldn’t feel far away from his mother.“My goodness, it seems your wealth and luxury have made you quite the favorite among women. But how funny—out of all of them, you fell for this cheap woman?”Mrs. Marina’s sharp voice echoed through the hall, unfiltered and cutting.Mr. Emerald, who had long disapproved
Chapter 273. The Venomous Snake
Of course, Jackson hadn’t seen it coming — which was why he didn’t dodge at all. His hands were still full, holding Jennyfer in his arms.He stood still and took the slap from his stepmother, his eyes closing briefly. Never in his life — not even once, even when his late mother was still alive — had she ever laid a hand on him. Not a pinch, let alone a slap across the face like this.“Marina! What have you done?!”“I’m teaching your disrespectful son a lesson!”“Enough! Be quiet and get out of here!”It was Mr. Emerald’s voice — sharp, commanding. That voice alone eased the sting on Jackson’s cheek. At least a small part of his father’s heart still cared. Even such a small act of defense meant more to Jackson than he could express.Jennyfer, shocked to see her husband slapped right before her eyes, immediately pulled away from his arms and stood firmly beside him. Without a word, she gently touched his cheek — her eyes filled with panic. Jackson smiled faintly at her, as if to reassur
Chapter 274. Changed Mind
“Enough, enough! Stop yelling like that,” Mr. Emerald immediately blocked his wife, who kept walking toward Jackson. He held her back with one arm.“I can’t just stand here and watch your son being so rude, Pah!”“Be quiet, that’s enough!” Mr. Emerald said weakly. “Here’s the deal, Jackson. Fine, I’ll arrange a press conference to be held tonight.”Mr. Emerald knew his biological son too well. It would never be easy to change his decision, especially seeing his wife continuously arguing with his only child.“It’s too late. I don’t want that anymore, Papa. The investigation will continue, and this case will be settled properly. Everything will go according to the law.”Mr. Emerald’s face tensed and reddened. He was utterly shocked by what Jackson had just said. He had already decided to do exactly what Jackson wanted, and now his son was taking it back.“Jackson, you must be joking,” Mr. Emerald said quickly.“Jackson never jokes with people who aren’t close to him.”“I promise I’ll ha
Chapter 275. Exchange
“Unless what?” Mr. Emerald asked quickly, still hoping his only son would change his mind and return to the original condition.“Unless… Daddy gives his blessing and consent for Jackson and Jenny’s marriage. Then we’ll consider that as a trade—your blessing in exchange for the one hundred trillion. But only if you agree. If not, that’s fine too.”Calm and composed. The words flowed effortlessly from Jackson’s lips, witnessed not only by Jennyfer herself, but also by Mr. Emerald and Mrs. Marina, who stood before him—along with the maids and bodyguards who were still quietly lined up nearby.Silence filled the room.Mr. Emerald was visibly stunned by what his son had just said. The kind of barter Jackson proposed was something that had never even crossed his mind. The middle-aged man swallowed hard several times, unable to believe what he’d heard.“There’s no pressure here. If you don’t like this crazy deal, then feel free to leave—after all, it’s already late at night. Besides, in a fe
Chapter 276. The Answer
If it had been for Bramasta, everything would have been instantly approved and granted without hesitation. Unlike him, who now found himself being treated like a stepson by his own biological father.One thing was clear — he had to put his patience first if he wanted to win in the end. That was what Jackson kept telling himself to soothe the sting in his chest since earlier.“None of your business,” Mr. Emerald replied curtly, gripping the pen tightly as he began to sign the document in several places. “You can marry whoever you want. Just don’t expect me to ever change my attitude toward her, even if I’ve given you my so-called blessing!”“We don’t need it anyway!” Jackson snapped quickly.Mr. Emerald finished signing the agreement and stood up. “Let’s go home,” he said to his young wife and strode out without another glance.Jackson smiled bitterly. He had no idea what was going through his father’s mind anymore — how the man could have changed so drastically that his son’s happines
Chapter 277. Ready
Jackson set Jennyfer down and pulled her into a tight embrace, close enough that he could feel their heartbeats thumping wildly and unevenly against each other.After placing several tender kisses on the top of her head, Jackson stepped forward, opened the bedroom door, and led his beloved inside by the hand.Indeed, it was true—when a big problem was dealt with quickly and resolved with action, it became much easier to overcome. Had Jackson not moved fast enough for his trusted people to uncover the mastermind behind all the chaos, his relationship with Jennyfer wouldn’t have recovered the way it had now.That night, they seemed to have returned to the days before the scandalous news ever happened. Jackson and Jennyfer were getting ready for bed, brushing their teeth together in the bathroom.After they finished brushing and changed into their sleepwear, Jackson carried Jennyfer in his arms. She had returned to her usual self—her pain and disappointment faded the moment she saw how d
Chapter 278. Express Plan!
“Brother, don’t be ridiculous!” Jennyfer protested, her heartbeat starting to race uncontrollably in her chest.“Then stop talking. Or else…?”Jackson spoke with a teasing smile in the dim light of the night, making Jennyfer quickly shut her eyes tight.“Alright then. Good night, Love,” she murmured, adjusting her sleeping position so she was facing the grand ceiling above them.“Sweet dreams,” Jackson replied softly, pressing a gentle kiss to her forehead. He didn’t dare kiss her lips again—not until she was the one who initiated it first.Time passed quietly.Meanwhile, Brielle—who had been keeping tabs on every update she could get—remained in hiding inside Bramasta’s apartment. She never went anywhere, and no one had suspected that she was staying there.For two full days, the police had failed to track her down, which only made Jackson increasingly uneasy.Brielle now wore a hijab and a mask whenever she went out to buy food or daily necessities. Bramasta, aware of the situation,
Chapter 279. Lingering Feelings
After walking for about five minutes, still not far from Jackson’s mansion, Jennyfer stopped for a moment. She looked lost in thought.“I didn’t say goodbye to Brother… will he worry and look for me?” Jennyfer murmured softly to herself, confused. Normally, she always informed Jackson whenever she was going somewhere or doing something.She turned back, walking again toward the mansion, where a line of bodyguards stood as usual. But after just a few steps, she turned back once more and continued walking away.Even Jennyfer herself didn’t understand why her thoughts were so chaotic.Meanwhile, Jackson stirred slightly, moving his hand over the empty space beside him on the bed, searching for the girl who normally slept there. Not finding her, his eyes slowly opened.Seeing that she wasn’t there, he scanned the room. His gaze fell on the bathroom. The door was wide open. Normally, no one should have been in there with the door left like that.“Honey?”Jackson immediately got up, calling
Chapter 280. Kidnapped
After returning home, Jackson immediately went upstairs to freshen up. Jennyfer waited below to have breakfast together, as usual.After breakfast, Jackson headed to his main company to handle all his affairs before checking on the preparations for their wedding at his luxurious hotel. The grand wedding would take place on the top floor, in an open space equipped with a retractable glass roof in case it rained. Jackson, being meticulous, wanted everything to be perfect—no mistakes allowed.For the past few days, Jennyfer had been staying at home. Jackson wanted her to rest and relax in preparation for their big day. The previous scandal had been completely neutralized after Bramasta’s clarifications the night before. Netizens had turned against Bramasta, condemning and mocking him online. Jackson’s reputation was restored, and his dignity had been fully recovered. His tactic had worked. To fight deceit, he had to be just as cunning, even if it looked forceful—he was simply skilled at
