Jackson, who had just heard his wife’s explanation, felt his heart—which had been swelling with warmth—instantly shrink. He knew his little wife still didn’t like him, let alone love him.

“Yes. We’re just friends. Jackson already thinks of Jenny as... his own sister. Yes, a sister.”

Jackson said those words heavily, the weight in his chest tightening with every syllable. What he said was completely opposite to what he truly felt. Deep down, he wanted to shout to the world that he loved Jennyfer. But he was too afraid—afraid that if she didn’t return his feelings, he’d lose even the small chance to stay by her side.

Grandma Hima fell silent, though her wrinkled face continued to wear a gentle smile. Life’s bitter and sweet lessons had made her capable of reading the emotions written clearly across both of their faces. Yet she chose to let things flow naturally. She no longer believed in forcing fate.

“As you wish. Love is indeed hard to feel, but when it grows and settles without confe

  • Chapter 125. What Kind of Mother?!

    This was exactly why Jackson hadn’t ordered Aleta Windy and her online gambler lover to be taken directly to the police station for interrogation. There was only one reason — he didn’t want the little girl to suffer because of her mother’s vile and sinful actions.“Seize all the assets under Aleta Windy and this man’s names!” Jackson ordered coldly. “Handle the gambling case according to the law. As for the embezzlement from my company, I’ll leave that decision to Hermanto. If you want your wife to be punished legally, so be it. But if you choose to forgive her and take her back, I won’t pursue this matter any further.”Silence fell over the room.Everyone swallowed hard — even Albert and Bernard exchanged uneasy glances. They couldn’t believe they were hearing such a statement from their usually strict and merciless president.The police officers in the room said nothing either. And then—Bang!A sudden commotion startled everyone, including Jackson himself.It turned out Indra, who

  • Chapter 124. Complicated and Difficult

    To avoid drawing attention, this time Jackson instructed the special police team to wear ordinary office attire while carrying out their operation.The door to the private meeting room opened, marking the start of the scheduled meeting between Jackson and Aleta Windy.“So, Aleta,” Jackson began coolly. “Have you managed to recover even a portion of the three billion you’ve spent over the past few months?”“Yes, Mr. President,” Aleta replied smoothly. “I’ve already returned part of the amount I used. Here’s the documentation.”She spoke with surprising composure as she handed over a folder.Albert took it and began reviewing the documents the bold young woman had submitted, carefully comparing them to the reports received by headquarters earlier that week.“Confirmed, Mr. President. Everything matches the report,” Albert announced promptly.“Good,” Jackson said curtly. “Then what about the remaining one and a half billion you’ve already spent? How do you plan to return that to me?”“I—

  • Chapter 123. Angry

    Those beautiful eyes now looked softly yet sadly into Jackson’s dark gaze, as if silently pleading for his understanding.“I’ll help you with anything else,” he said quietly, “but not this.”All the hope and confidence that had filled Jennyfer moments ago—believing Jackson would surely help her—instantly crumbled into disappointment that took root deep in her heart. She didn’t know what to tell her parents now. Her father, who always listened and loved her, might turn against her this time.“Alright then.”With that, Jennyfer turned around and walked straight into her room.Jackson didn’t chase after her. He didn’t beg for her understanding. He simply stood there, feeling a sting of disappointment as he realized how quickly her attitude toward him had shifted. Moments ago, he’d been so happy, his heart blooming with joy—but now, in an instant, all that warmth wilted away.He knew she was too kind, too pure-hearted. Jennyfer forgave too easily, even those who had wronged her so cruelly

  • Chapter 122. A Strange Request

    Jackson, who had silently let Jennyfer do whatever she wanted, was a little startled and puzzled. He froze for a moment, letting her clip the black hairpins onto his shirt, quietly processing the moment. Her gentle care stirred something inside him—an unexpected spark of hope.Maybe soon I can tell Jenny the truth… that she’s actually my legal wife. I think she loves me too. Yes, I have to tell her everything so things can finally be clear.Jennyfer blushed shyly when she realized Jackson hadn’t said a word the entire time she was fixing his shirt. As a fashion designer and a skilled seamstress, she was used to handling small emergencies like this one.“All done. Let’s eat,” Jennyfer said softly, smiling with embarrassment as she tucked her long straight hair neatly behind her ears.They both reached for their spoons and forks, eating with bright, contented expressions. Happiness filled the room—and perhaps that joy made Jackson eat with unusual enthusiasm, finishing his plate and eve

  • Chapter 121. The Broad Chest

    Bang!The door burst open with a single powerful kick. A group of police officers swarmed in, immediately striking and subduing Baskoro’s bodyguards, who were still ganging up on Albert and Bernard.Within seconds, the entire group of thugs was handcuffed. The officers began arresting Baskoro’s men one by one, while Baskoro himself, panicking, turned and bolted for the exit.“Where do you think you’re going?!”Jackson’s voice came low but sharp, stopping the man dead in his tracks. Before Baskoro could even react, two officers grabbed him from behind.Click! Click!Handcuffs snapped around his wrists.“You’re coming with us to the station,” said Inspector Rahardiansyah firmly, giving Baskoro a light shove forward.Jackson chuckled softly.“Enjoy your free lodging with a new view after this. Don’t blame anyone, Mr. Baskoro—this is exactly what you wanted.”“You set me up?!” Baskoro roared, his face contorted with disbelief.“Set you up?” Jackson laughed. “Who invited me here, Mr. Basko

  • Chapter 120. Brutal Attack!

    The call was abruptly cut off, and Jennyfer, shocked and trembling, could only continue sobbing before collapsing onto her bed.Panic, fear, pain, disappointment, and sadness—all those emotions blended into one, overwhelming her mind with stress and exhaustion. The only thing she could do now was cry and cry, pouring out everything that weighed on her heart.Click!Jackson entered Jennyfer’s room after waiting outside for quite some time without seeing her come out. He walked slowly toward the bed, where her small figure was lying face down, her face turned to the other side.When he got closer and saw that she wasn’t moving, Jackson leaned down to take a better look. Just as he suspected—his little girl had fallen fast asleep. What surprised him was the trace of dried tears glistening on her smooth cheeks.Did Mom scold Jenny? Is that why she cried herself to sleep like this?Jackson frowned, irritation flashing in his eyes. He exhaled harshly, clearly frustrated at his mother-in-law
