Then the two entered the company and went to Isabel's office. It was a room on the top floor, very spacious and luxurious.
Jessica and Isabel sat across from each other. They are all beautiful and talented girls, admired by many people. But Jessica looks more individual than Isabel. She wears a pair of trousers, high heels, and a blazer. Looks maturer and more elegant. Jessica's hair is also short, in contrast to Isabel's long hair. Jessica's face is light makeup, less fussy than Isabel's.
Isabel is a girl who pursues a glamorous style. It all reflects that, from her body shape to the clothes she wears. She wears an A-line skirt and a white shirt that is not the usual style but is stylized, with a bow at the neck and elastic at the wrist.
Jessica sat down, and she prepared what she was going to say. But at this moment, Isabel suddenly spoke:
"We can sign a contract."
"What?" Jessica was dumbfounded; she didn't understand what Isabel said until she handed over a thick set of contracts.
"We can do the signing now."
"Why... why? I mean, I haven't had time to tell you yet. Moreover, we haven't discussed the contract terms or the agreement between the two sides..."
Jessica stammered.
"No need." Isabel pushed the fountain pen toward her. Jessica was skeptical; she picked up the contract and began to read it carefully. Is there anything in this that deceives her? Or is this a trap? But all terms are reasonable.
Finally, Jessica took the pen and signed the contract, and at the same time, stamped it.
She still can't believe she can do this so quickly; she even feels her body floating in the clouds; it feels so surreal. But it's all true; Jessica happily took the contract, shook hands with Isabel, and prepared to leave.
Her family and her job are about to be saved, she was very excited inside.
However, as she touched the doorknob, she suddenly heard Isabel suddenly say:
"What do you think of Alex?"
A Beach Villa
Surrounded by only trees, no noise of traffic, no sounds of modern industry, fresh air filled with the smell of flowers, no scent of pollution or incense of industrialized sector, that's exactly what Alex is now.
Since he couldn't return home, he relaxed in a mountain villa. Anyway, recent events have troubled him a lot.
Alex stood at the glass door against the wall, seeing the full view from above. Since this villa is located on a mountain facing the sea, from here, he can see the grandeur of the vast ocean. In Alex's hand was a cup of coffee. At this moment, his phone suddenly vibrated, and the caller was Isabel.
"How's everything?" Alex picked up the phone.
"All matters relating to contracts and cooperation have been settled, Your Highness."
Isabel's voice was highly cheerful and playful. It's so different from her every day. This also made Alex laugh.
"Prince?"
"That's right, and you're my prince."
Jessica's House
After signing the contract, Jessica went back home to take a shower. Meanwhile, Mrs. Andrew always follows her to advise her to divorce Alex.
When Jessica was in the bathroom, Mrs. Andrew was outside and didn't stop babbling. She poured the water out so loud that it drowned out her voice. The image of Alex always appeared in her mind because of Isabel's question.
"Did Isabel know Alex? Or has Isabel heard about the gossips between Alex and her? " She thought in mind.
Then she shock her head and stopped thinking too much. It is the most important for her to hold a family meeting then.
Jessica got herself well dressed and went out, calling the manager to announce a shareholder meeting.
Locke Corporation's meeting room.
"We've been waiting for five minutes; what does Jessica want to do?"
"Is she trolling us? Does she see us as a joke?"
"It is disrespectful. We were allowed to get stood up."
All members of the Locke family and every vital company shareholder are gathered here just because they are about to hear the "important" information Jessica announces.
Jack slammed his fist on the table,
"I will banish her, you bastard."
Everyone agreed with Jack's opinion. No one defended Jessica. When they were talking about it at this moment, Mrs. Locke suddenly kicked the table, Jessica appeared, and they were all silent as if nothing had happened.
"I am here today to inform everyone that I have successfully partnered with Anderson Real Estate…"
"What?" Jessica had not finished her sentence when Jack interrupted her with a very harsh attitude. He looked at Jessica with a mocking and disbelieving look:
"Don't makeup stories like that. It's true that birds of a feather flock together. Your husband used fake diamonds, and now you're using fake contracts?"
Mrs. Fiona and Mr. Peter - Jack's parents, also showed disdain. Meanwhile, Jessica said nothing; she quietly took out the contract she had prepared and brought it to Mrs. Locke.
"Please see, this is the contract that I just signed with the vice president of Forest Group."
This is also what Mrs. Locke and everyone expected the most. She opened the contract and began to examine it. In front of everyone's expectant eyes, Mrs. Locke finally dropped the contract and concluded:
"Jessica did a great job."
This made Jessica in relief. At the same time, they also felt incredibly proud of their daughter. Contrary to that, the faces of the Jack family members were distorted.
"Grandma, as you promised." Jessica raised her voice seriously, and her eyes also turned to Jack.
"I need Jack to apologize."
Hearing this, Jack seemed to have swallowed a stone in his throat, unable to eat but spitting out. He immediately objected:
"No way, I absolutely wouldn't do that."
But Mrs. Locke immediately blocked his throat.

Chapter 146: In the end, everyone walked out into the light.
Rihana quickly untied Alex, ignoring Loki’s suffering nearby. Alex thanked her and grabbed a gun that was out of ammunition, directing a disdainful look at Loki. He approached and stomped on Loki’s bleeding wound, as an act of vengeance for what had just happened. Alex wasn’t one to hold back or forgive easily.“Tend to his wound. Don’t let him die,” Alex ordered, looking sternly at Rihana. Under Alex’s firm gaze, Rihana went closer to Loki, ignoring his threats and insults. She efficiently tore a piece of cloth from her own clothing, carefully covering the wound to stop the bleeding. Loki’s face turned even paler, and he could do nothing but mumble in pain.Meanwhile, the sound of approaching police sirens grew louder. Loki looked at Alex with suspicion. He couldn’t find his phone; it was no longer with him. He wondered how the police had been called. Were they in on this from the beginning? When had things spiraled so out of control?Failing to properly investigate Alex was a grave
Chapter 145: At this moment, he knew he had succeeded.
Loki doesn’t want to say much to this guy. He didn’t care about the reason anymore. All that he had investigated was enough to send this guy back to hell.Loki is sure that even if he pulled out a gun and blew his brains out, this guy wouldn’t say a word.But thinking that in the future the chairman might lose a lot of information because of this, Loki had to patiently ask a few more questions.“What is your real name? Don’t cross me. I have to spend so much time and effort because of you, be a little more reasonable, otherwise I will explode your brains.”“Even if I say it, you still can’t determine what is the truth, right? If I tell the truth, will you let me go?”“Okay, if it’s important, you’ll get out of here alive.”Alex almost burst out laughing for a moment. With that look in his eyes that only has murderous intent, who else is he trying to fool? Let him live. He is not a three-year-old child.Alex kept spinning his brain, thinking about how to get out of this situation. It w
