Chapter 150
At that moment, upon hearing the harsh words that his father had just delivered like daggers straight to his heart, and seeing the cold, determined look written clearly across his father's weathered face, Jefferson's father knew deep down in his soul that one way or another, he absolutely needed to make serious amends for what had just happened in this room.He could feel the weight of years of disappointment and frustration that his father had been carrying about him, all the times he had failed to live up to the old man's expectations, all the moments when he had shown hesitation instead of the ruthless decisiveness that his father valued above everything else.This wasn't just about the Malisa situation anymore; this was about his entire future, his place in the family hierarchy, his right to call himself a worthy son of such a powerful and feared man.He knew that his father had never been completely pleased with him over the years, had always seen him as somewhat soft compared to

At that moment, Jefferson's father quickly raised his hand up like someone trying to stop a moving train before it crashed into a wall, his face showing clear signs of worry and concern about the direction this conversation was heading.“Father, please listen to me carefully,” he said urgently, his voice carrying the kind of caution that comes from someone who can see disaster approaching from miles away. “I think we are making a very serious mistake here with this plan, and I strongly believe we are being too reactionary without thinking through all the possible consequences of our actions.”He leaned forward in his seat, trying to make his father understand the gravity of what they were discussing.“This Melissa woman is not just some random person we can push around however we want. She is a senior director of Premium Bank, one of the most powerful financial institutions in this entire country.” His voice grew more emphatic as he spoke. “She holds a very high position there, Fath
Chapter 148
Immediately, Jefferson's father nodded his head up and down slowly as his eyes scanned through the papers in his hands, reading every single detail that had been gathered about this mysterious woman who had suddenly appeared in their investigation.“Yes, yes, her name is Melissa,”he said out loud, his finger tracing along the lines of text as he spoke. “And from what I can see here, everything about her is written down in these documents, all of the information we could possibly need is right here in front of us.”He looked up from the papers with a thoughtful expression on his face, his mind clearly working through something that troubled him deeply.“So this is the lady that Jefferson saw with that good-for-nothing Raymond the other day at the restaurant.”At that moment, without wasting another second thinking about it, Jefferson's grandfather nodded his head again, this time more firmly, like someone who had just decided that action needed to be taken immediately.“Well, I strongl

Her voice dropped lower but became more bitter and wounded as she revealed the personal pain driving her actions, “Because what Jeremy did to me with his lies and manipulation, the way he threatened me and humiliated me in front of people - I still cannot even raise my head properly among my circle of friends anymore.” Rebecca's face twisted with remembered shame and anger, “That bastard literally lied about me and destroyed my reputation, spreading rumors and making me look like a fool in front of my friends.”Her voice became more strained and emotional as she continued, almost trembling with suppressed rage, “The humiliation and shame has gotten so bad, it has risen all the way up to my neck and I feel like I am about to completely explode from all this bottled-up anger and frustration.”Immediately upon seeing Rebecca's emotional outburst and the way she was trembling with suppressed rage, that was when Dahlia's mother quickly stepped closer to her daughter and told her in a sooth
Chapter 146
Immediately upon hearing Madam Veronica's direct question about whether she had been cooperating fully with their previous discussion, that was when Dahlia's mother quickly nodded her head with obvious eagerness, saying with a voice that tried to sound completely compliant, “No problem at all, absolutely no problem whatsoever. I am completely willing to give you any information that you want from me, whatever details you need to make this arrangement work perfectly.”At that moment, Madam Veronica's voice came through the phone with a slight edge of impatience as she then said, “But you still have not properly answered my earlier question, the one I asked you before we got sidetracked by other matters.” Her tone became more pointed as she continued, “I specifically asked you whether you have told Dahlia about my interest in her, about my son's desire to meet her and potentially pursue a relationship. This is one of the most important questions that I asked you earlier in our conversa
Chapter 145
At that moment, hearing what Madame Veronica just said, Dahlia's mother felt her legs almost start shaking uncontrollably beneath her like someone standing on ground that had suddenly become unstable. Her body betrayed the panic that was building inside her chest as she tried desperately to process the question that had just been thrown at her.She wasn't expecting Madame Veronica to ask something like this, not this directly, not this soon, and the realization hit her like cold water that she was now trapped in a very dangerous situation of her own making.Her mind raced through all the possible answers she could give, weighing each one carefully while knowing that Madame Veronica had already made it crystal clear that she absolutely hated lies and could spot them from miles away, which meant that whatever answer came out of her mouth right now needed to sound as close to the truth as possible without actually being the complete truth.She knew deep down that she would need to tell m
