In truth, for the past two days, Mr. Emerald had learned another shocking fact—one that only he and his closest friend knew. That friend was none other than Dr. Charly, his personal physician and best friend, who turned out to be his biological son.After discovering that truth, Mr. Emerald began to act more cautiously and plan a subtler way to trap those involved even further. He also made sure not to show that his health was improving. He kept taking the medicines his young wife prepared for him, maintaining his strategy and cunning after uncovering the wickedness of the woman who had replaced his first wife two years ago.At the same time, Mr. Emerald continued to secretly monitor Jackson’s situation. He knew everything that was happening with his son—even the incident that had shaken Jackson’s banking branch the previous night. But he chose to stay silent, refusing to comment or get involved for now.“Jackson is truly ungrateful. His father is sick, and he doesn’t even care! That

“Oh, right, you’re right, hehee. That might cause gossip or misunderstandings. Well then, I’ll go inside now, Brother Rendra. Thank you again for everything,” Jennyfer said with a sweet smile.“Go on inside. Once you’re in, I’ll leave,” Rendra said, feeling a little disappointed that Jennyfer didn’t repeat her invitation for him to come in. That made it clear that her earlier offer had only been out of politeness. Still, it only made Rendra admire her even more. What kind of woman could still try to hide her pain knowing her husband had gotten another woman pregnant—and that woman was her own sister?Maybe Jennyfer had forgotten that social media could reach anyone. But watching her cover up her husband’s disgrace only made Rendra more curious—and sympathetic. There was a strange feeling inside him, a growing urge to help the young woman escape her suffering, though he didn’t even know how.“All right then. Good night, Mr. Teacher,” Jennyfer said, smiling before walking inside.Rendra

“Hahaha! The fact remains — it’s already publicly recorded that this baby is yours. Did you forget that?!”Brielle suddenly burst into loud laughter, speaking in a carefree tone while emphasizing her words to taunt Jackson.“You’re completely insane, Brielle! What kind of mother does something like this?!” Jackson shouted, barely restraining his anger. If Brielle weren’t pregnant, he would’ve dragged her straight to the police station.“And yet, here I am. Hahaha! Yes, I’m insane, Jackson. Maybe just a little. But I’m happy — at least your relationship with that stupid Jenny is over for good. She even promised me that if you don’t handle the divorce yourself, she will file it personally. How’s that? Impressive, right?!”Jackson swallowed hard, forcing himself to stay calm in front of this heartless woman. Jennyfer had been so kind, even thinking more about Brielle’s condition — pregnant and all — than about her own feelings. The thought of it made Jackson’s blood boil.His wife, whose

“Uh, yeah—I’m heading to the market. I was planning to ask for another one of your special martabaks,” Jennyfer said with a small chuckle, remembering how Rendra had promised to bring her one if she liked it.“What? Really?!” Rendra looked surprised, almost speechless. He couldn’t believe Jennyfer had said something like that. She was usually quiet and reserved, not the type to tease. But now, she was actually joking?“Hehee, no, I’m kidding. I just need to buy some eggs. I forgot last night,” Jennyfer replied honestly.“Oh, I thought you were serious about asking for another special martabak. You’re going to make me go bankrupt,” Rendra said with a laugh.“No, I was just joking.”“Alright then, let’s go?”“Go where?” Jennyfer frowned in confusion.“To the market, of course. Where else?”“Huh? You’re going too?”“Nope. I was just planning to stop by for a visit,” Rendra replied, once again surprising Jennyfer.“You’re kidding, right?!”“Hahaa! Got you! You panicked, didn’t you? Come o

All this time, Jackson had done nothing but sit silently, trying to calm himself while thinking deeply.“Jenny took quite a while, didn’t she?” asked Mr. Andreas when he saw his daughter return home.“Yes, Father. I was going to come home right after buying the eggs, but Brother Rendra insisted I stay for a bit to play at the market. He’s just like a kid,” Jennyfer said honestly, hiding nothing.“Oh really?”“Yes. He even bought me this cute little hairpin. He really is childish, isn’t he?” Jennyfer said again with a light laugh before heading to the kitchen.Mr. Andreas went quiet, recalling Jackson’s earlier refusal to go after his wife.Could it be that Jackson saw Jenny walking with the school principal? Is that why he looked so upset? he wondered, remembering Jackson’s expressionless, drained face.“Jackson came home quite a while ago, Jenny,” Mr. Andreas added.Jennyfer froze mid-step as she set the eggs down on the kitchen counter.Brother Jackson came home? So it really was hi
