2024-09-08 22:00:35“How can you hate me so much when you’ve never even met me?” Jackson’s voice rose, a mix of frustration and desperation in his tone. “I told you I love you, and even your grandmother wants us to be together, to eventually get married.”
His words were forceful, more like a command than a confession. It was as if he believed he could make Anastasia bend to his will with sheer determination.
Nancy, who was watching from nearby, frowned deeply. She knew this wasn’t the right way to approach a woman, but she felt powerless to stop Jackson. She desperately wanted Anastasia to date Jackson, even if it meant pushing her into it.
“Leave me alone!” Anastasia shouted, her voice shaking with anger and fear. But Jackson didn’t back down. Instead, he grabbe

Chapter 0241 Inside The office
Elisha stepped his foot into the office. It was quiet, elegant, and heavily guarded. He saw Alex sitting right behind his desk like the president he was—confident, composed, and commanding.“Mr….” Alex began, feigning ignorance of his name. He did it deliberately. He wanted Elisha to repeat his introduction, hoping that this time he might slip, say something different—something that would give Alex a reason to act.Receiving his handshake with a respectful bow, Elisha obliged. “Elisha Gunn, President of the Children’s Wealth Foundation Home,” he said firmly.A military general like him? He had gone on countless missions in the past—covert operations that demanded he maintain alternate identities. How could he forget something as simple as a name? Especially when the first name was real and the last name was fabricated? This was child's play for someone of his caliber.Alex nodded slowly, his sharp gaze fixed on Elisha. He gestured to the chair in front of his desk with a smooth wave of
Chapter 0240 Get To Alex
The crowd rasped their hands together again, and the applause was louder—yet gentle—at the same time. It wasn’t a thunderous roar, but rather a respectful acknowledgment of the moment. This was the sign that Alex was leaving the stage, heading somewhere private, as was customary for such events.But it didn’t mean the party was over—not by a long shot.Hence, knowing this all too well, Sonya leaned closer to Elisha. Her voice dropped into a whisper. “Like I said earlier. I will make it happen. But after I do, you better keep to your word, because I will be waiting for you.” Her words were soft, but they carried weight, a kind of veiled threat wrapped in promise, as they reached his ears.Elisha smiled again. Women were always the same, he thought—complex and calculating in the most familiar way.In this very moment, his mind drifted back to a memory during the time of war when he had been deployed to Afranister. It was a different place, a different time—but the manipulation was just
Chapter 0239 Alex Speech
“Ahem!” Ms. Sonya cleared her throat the moment she noticed Alex and Elisha holding their handshake longer than usual. The atmosphere around them shifted—subtle, but undeniable. She narrowed her eyes at the pair.Her gaze moved to Alex’s face. His expression was slightly squinted—like someone trying to process a gut feeling or a hidden message. There was tension in his eyes, not the typical expression worn when meeting a stranger.Then she turned her attention to Elisha. He wore a smirk. Not just any smirk—it was the kind that carried intent. Calculated. Confident. There was something behind it, something unspoken. But what exactly, she couldn’t tell.Maybe they were old buddies just reconnecting? she thought, attempting to shake the discomfort as she stepped back. Still, something about their exchange didn’t sit right.“Perhaps I’ll leave you two to catch up, huh?” she muttered awkwardly, trying to mask her confusion with a polite smile before walking away quickly, heels tapping shar
Chapter 0238 Alex Speech
“Shall we go see the president?” he gestured lively to the ladies.It wasn’t just a casual suggestion—it was a calculated move. As a general, he knew how certain kinds of people responded to power and presence. Ladies, especially those of high standing, often relished being seen in privileged company or known for being familiar with influential individuals. Elisha had learned this much from his interactions with them. Judging from everything he'd picked up since mingling in these circles, it was always about the appearance of access.“I have never spoken to the president one-on-one before. I dream, perhaps my lucky day is today,” he added, lowering his gaze toward the glass of wine in his hand. He crafted a look as pitiable as possible, as though this unfulfilled wish weighed on him deeply.Hearing that he had never spoken to President Alex before, the ladies gasped, covering their mouths in surprise.There were three of them in total—elegant and commanding. Each was a CEO of a differ
Chapter 0237 White House
The Velmoria White Gate security opened their large gate, and different luxurious cars drove through.President Valet received the keys to repark every car that drove through the gate in the appropriate parking lot.Each dignified person, dressed in tuxedos and gowns, stepped down from their luxurious cars and walked straight through the White House front door.A gala party — a celebration for the success of the self-sufficient policy — was happening tonight. Hence, Elisha was going to leverage it for his mission.Like everybody else, Elisha drove right through the already opened gate. Beforehand, he had not known about the gala, but coincidentally, the gala was happening tonight, and wasn’t he the luckiest man?He smiled at the valet as he tossed him his car key, then confidently walked away from the door, blending effortlessly with the evening's elegance.He made sure to walk on the red carpet that was spread to glorify the staircase beyond the front door. Every detail of his moveme
Chapter 0236 The Reservation
Elisha sat on the edge of the bed in his hotel room. The room was not like something he was used to.The small-sized bed, the small-sized room, the small-sized everything that was put in the room. It all felt almost suffocating. Back in Norway Bradad, his governmental-given residence was triple the size of this small-sized reservation in this hotel. But even so, he purposely chose the room.“It would be easier to get ready for the day ahead here than being in the bigger room," he convinced himself as he inspected this room before he paid for it. Sometimes, simplicity helped him focus.Ten minutes into sitting there, lost deep in thought about how he was going to execute his plan tomorrow, he heard the doorbell ring. Quickly shaking himself out of his mind maze, he rose to open it.Before opening, he already knew it was no one other than the personal shopper who had been summoned by the receptionist, judging by the needs he had earlier mentioned to her. He straightened his posture befo
