Ch 72: Why Me?
Jessica fell silent.The more she listened, the more complicated her emotions became.Seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?An opportunity that seemed to have very little to do with her.Who was Oliver?Why would someone of his status be interested in her?And there was another problem.She was already married.Even if she and Evan were husband and wife in name only, the fact remained that she had a husband.Jessica lowered her eyes.For some reason, the thought of Oliver actually being interested in her caused a strange mixture of emotions to rise within her.There was excitement, disbelief, and nervousness, and beneath all of that, there was a faint, inexplicable sense of loss.She didn't understand why.Meanwhile, inside the banquet hall, Oliver was completely unaware of the complicated emotions running through Jessica's mind.Or perhaps he simply didn't have the time to worry about them.His attention had shifted to something else.He held a glass of red wine in his hand, tak
Ch 71: Wish You Happy Marriage
There were seven or eight evening gowns laid out in front of Jessica.Each one was exquisitely crafted, made from top-quality materials, and clearly worth an astonishing amount of money.Even someone who didn't understand luxury fashion could tell at a glance that these were not clothes ordinary people could casually afford.Jessica stood in front of them, momentarily at a loss.She lowered her head and looked at herself.What she was wearing was still the same work uniform she had worn during the day. Although it was clean and neat, it was ultimately just a practical outfit meant for work.Standing beside Oliver in his silver suit, the difference was particularly obvious.Jessica suddenly felt embarrassed.If she really became Oliver's dance partner tonight, wouldn't she make him lose face if she appeared beside him dressed like this?She bit her lower lip lightly.“Mr. Oliver, I… ""Don't think about it too much.” Oliver's calm voice interrupted her hesitation. “Go ahead and change
Ch 70: I Wish It Was Me
Jessica's fists tightened.She truly wanted to slap him and wanted to wipe that disgusting smile off his face.However, she couldn't.Not because she agreed, but because she understood the consequences.Brandon wasn't an ordinary businessman. His company possessed tremendous influence.If she publicly offended him, the Greenberg family might lose even more opportunities.Jessica stood there silently, feeling powerless, humiliated, and completely alone.Just as Brandon believed he had successfully cornered her, a calm voice suddenly echoed beside them.“You actually want my woman to sleep with you?”The surrounding conversations instantly stopped.Everyone subconsciously turned around.The voice wasn't loud, yet it carried an indescribable authority.Brandon's expression changed, and Jessica also widened her eyes.A tall young man wearing a perfectly tailored silver suit slowly walked through the crowd.His expression remained calm, and his hands rested casually inside his pockets.Yet
Ch 69: Jessica's Predicament
Jessica's gaze swept across the luxurious banquet hall before finally stopping on a familiar figure.A greasy middle-aged man in his late forties stood near one of the wine tables, laughing heartily with several businessmen. His round face was filled with arrogance, and the expensive watch on his wrist seemed to be displayed more proudly than his smile.Jessica took a quiet breath.This was the person she had spent half a month trying to meet.Mr. Brandon.The general manager of Brandon Construction Group, one of Ironspire's big listed companies and one of the key decision-makers behind the New Urban District project.Tonight was her best opportunity.Perhaps her only opportunity.Straightening her posture, Jessica gently smoothed the wrinkles on her evening dress before walking toward him with a warm and professional smile.“Hello, Mr. Brandon.”Her voice was clear and polite.The businessmen chatting around Brandon turned their heads slightly.Brandon himself frowned at first.He had
Ch 68: Female Companion
Jessica was furious.Anyone would be.She had already been stopped at the entrance of the Republican Hotel, denied entry despite explaining that she had business inside, and was now suddenly being grabbed by the shoulder by a complete stranger.“What are you doing?”Her voice carried a trace of anger as she turned around, ready to give the person behind her a piece of her mind.Yet the moment she looked up, the words caught in her throat.What entered her field of vision was an exceptionally handsome face.The man standing before her was tall, his posture relaxed yet naturally imposing. His silver suit fit him perfectly, accentuating his broad shoulders and long legs without appearing ostentatious. There was an indescribable nobility about him, the kind that didn't need to be deliberately displayed.He simply possessed it.For a brief moment, Jessica forgot what she had been about to say.The anger in her eyes faded slightly, replaced by surprise.'He's... handsome.'No.Handsome wasn
Ch 67: Jessica Greenberg
“Female lead?”Oliver stared at Jessica's attribute panel for a moment before a strange expression appeared on his face.Was she the female lead?Still?His eyes narrowed slightly.A female lead in a son-in-law novel.Moreover, she wasn't the female lead of some ordinary romance story.The moment Oliver finished reading Jessica's attributes, the System suddenly transmitted another stream of information directly into his mind.It was information about the novel in which Jessica was the female lead, and he matched it with the novel he had read.Oliver's expression slowly changed as he finished sorting out the information.Then, a hint of disdain appeared on his face.He had already encountered Liam, the protagonist of the previous story.Although Oliver had little affection for that kind of lucky protagonist, at least Liam's behavior could still be considered somewhat normal.This one, however, made Oliver feel that the author had gone out of their way to torture the protagonist.The no
