Jessica narrowed her eyes."Sometimes I wonder whether he already knows something about me."Mark became quiet."Knows something about you?""Yes. I cannot explain it properly, but the way he looked at me made me uncomfortable. It was almost as if he was watching me carefully instead of enjoying the conversation."Mark considered that possibility."Ma'am, do you think someone might have told him about your past?""I don't know, and that is what bothers me."Jessica pressed her lips together."Maybe I am thinking too much about it, or perhaps he is simply not interested in me because he already has another woman in his life.""Another woman?""Yes, and I believe that woman is Megan."Mark released a quiet breath."That explains why you want her removed so quickly."Jessica gave a cold smile."That is only part of the reason, Mark. Regardless of what William knows or doesn't know, I am not going to allow him to push me aside so easily."She adjusted her handbag."If he refuses to come c

Mark released a quiet sigh."Alright, ma'am. I understand your decision, but there is still the question of what happens if something goes wrong."Jessica's expression changed slightly."That brings me to another important matter, and I want you to pay close attention to what I am about to say.""I'm listening, ma'am.""Vincent."Mark became quiet."What about him?"Jessica smiled."We are going to make sure Vincent takes the blame for whatever happens to Megan."Mark was silent for a moment before responding."Vincent? But ma'am, he is the same person we are planning to involve in this matter.""Exactly, and that is what makes him useful."Jessica began walking slowly again."Think about everything you told me earlier. Vincent is angry with Megan, he has problems with William, and he is already willing to involve himself in anything that could bring Megan down."She paused."If something happens to Megan, people will naturally begin looking at those who have reasons to hate her, and

Jessica slowly nodded.Although she did not like hearing that their options were limited, she understood the point Vincent was making.Megan had already been through a dangerous experience, and William had played an important role in protecting her.Trying to deceive her with another obvious setup might not work."So what exactly is Vincent suggesting?" Jessica asked."He said we should look for another way to deal with her. Something different from what her former boyfriend attempted. He doesn't want us repeating the same mistake."Jessica looked down at the expensive floor beneath her feet.For several seconds, she did not speak.Her mind was already moving from one possibility to another.She had initially considered creating a situation that would make William lose trust in Megan. Perhaps she could make him believe that Megan was secretly involved with another man or that she had betrayed him in some way.But if Megan was already watching out for such tricks, then that approach mi

Jessica was still standing in the quiet corner of the restaurant, thinking about everything she had heard from William and his mother.The more she thought about it, the more unhappy she became. She had spent a considerable amount of time preparing for this meeting, and she had expected William to show at least some interest in her. After all, she was beautiful, wealthy, and knew how to make herself attractive to men.But William had barely given her the attention she wanted.He had been polite throughout their conversation, but there was something about his behavior that made her uncomfortable. He did not seem impressed by her beauty, and he had not shown any excitement when his mother suggested that they should have dinner together.Now she understood why.There was already another woman in his life.And from everything she had gathered, Jessica was almost certain that the woman was Megan.She pressed her lips together and slowly shook her head."Megan, Megan, Megan," she muttered u

The moment Jessica heard William say that they could have dinner another time, she felt a little disappointed, although she was careful not to allow it to show on her face.She had been hoping that William would accept the invitation immediately. A dinner with him would have given her enough time to get closer to him, understand his personality, and perhaps find out what kind of woman he liked.However, things were not going exactly as she had planned.For a moment, she wanted to ask him when that dinner would happen. Was he talking about tomorrow, next week, or some other time? She wanted to know because she had no intention of allowing this opportunity to slip through her fingers.But she quickly controlled herself.She knew that asking too many questions would make her look desperate, and that was the last impression she wanted to give William.After all, she had presented herself as a successful woman who was simply interested in helping his mother. If she suddenly began pushing h

William listened without interrupting.When she finished, he nodded slightly."Wow, that is very nice of you," he said. "It is really kind of you to offer to do something like that for my mother. Thank you."Jessica smiled warmly."You are welcome, William. There is no need to thank me."However, before she could say anything else, William's mother suddenly intervened."William, you don't even have to address her as if she is doing something ordinary for us. Look at what she is offering to do. She wants to help me restore my restaurant without collecting any money from me, and you are thanking her as if she has simply given you a glass of water!"She shook her head playfully."Honestly, young people these days! You should learn to appreciate people who genuinely want to help others. Not everybody is willing to do something like this."Jessica immediately reached for her hand."Oh, please, don't be hard on him. I understand him perfectly well."She turned towards William with a playful
