Jerome stood up and left."B… boss," Alaska attempted to speak, but Jerome had already departed. Alaska wanted to negotiate with him but had no chance."How do I get out of here?" Alaska pondered, walking around the house in search of an escape route. After an hour, he found nothing and grew hungry and tired. Seeking the kitchen, he discovered a variety of fruits and vegetables but no main dishes."Oh, this man is ruthless," Alaska thought. "How can he stock only fruits and vegetables without accompaniment? I'm stuck eating only fruit and vegetables for three days." Despite not reaching the three-day mark, Alaska was on the verge of tears. Accustomed to heavy food, surviving on fruits and vegetables felt like consuming candy."Boss, why did you seize his mobile phone? He could have contacted the man behind him, making it easy to trace him," Bright inquired."Contacting the mastermind will bring more trouble. He plans everything carefully without leaving any loopholes," Jerome explaine

"Mia woke up and walked to the living hall. She saw her parents discussing an invitation card."Honey, why not let Mia attend? Since it's a business gathering, I am sure Jerome would be present," Mrs. Cambridge suggested."I would like to, but I want to build connections with people. You know the company stock has been going down recently." Even though he wishes Mia would reunite with Jerome, they don't have much time left. Ever since Jerome left, the company has been going down. He thought he could manage the company without his help, but he miscalculated it. When he came home and found out Jerome had been driven away, he didn't bother searching for him. He never liked the boy; he has always thought he would take the company away from him. He was overjoyed when he realized he wasn't in a competition with anyone. Who knew everything would be a mess right after he left, and he would not be able to find a solution to this trouble?"Hubby, I understand the situation of the company, but

Eleanor's feet ached in her high heels, but she forced herself to keep walking. Each step sent a jolt of pain up her legs, but she gritted her teeth and persevered. Jerome saw her expression and asked, "Eleanor, are you okay?""Yes, boss, it's just that my feet ache badly," she replied with pain in her voice."Why didn't you say it earlier and force yourself to walk?" Jerome was angry. If he hadn't seen her expression, she would have endured the pain."I am sorry, boss; I didn't want to distract you." Eleanor bowed her head and mumbled."Fool," Jerome cursed at her in a helpless tone."Stay here and don't go anywhere; I will ask Bright to send you some shoes." He helped her sit down, bent on his knees, and took off her heels.Mia, who was talking with her father, saw what was going on. She clenched her fist, and her eyes turned cold. Even when Jerome was obedient to him, he never treated her like this. How dare this lowly servant bewitch her man. She was determined to continue with he

Mia had been trying everything to leak the news to the media, but they weren't ready to take the risk. Frustrated, she got an idea. Despite not being a celebrity, she had many followers on TikTok, Facebook, Instagram, and Thread. "Gosh, why didn't I think of this?" she said happily like a child finding her missing candy. She called her mother, "Mom, let the servant bring me my ring light and makeup box. I need to make a video.""Mia, you are not yet strong; why do you need to make a video?""You will know later," she said and hung up.Thirty minutes later, a servant brought the ring light. She told the servant to stand outside and, when done, she would call for her. She picked up her makeup, applied a cool-toned foundation, used concealer to cover imperfections, and set it with powder. A highlighter on cheekbones, nose, and cupid's bow gave her face a glow.After finishing, she looked at herself on the phone, satisfied. Though still hospitalized, her color had improved, and she only l

The next morning, another video trended. It was about a witness confirming what Mia said. There were two witnesses at the party. One was the one whom Jerome warned, the other didn't make himself known. Now the matter has blown; people are calling the police to arrest Eleanor. Some even went as far as tracing her to her house. Jerome foresaw what would come so he instructed her to move to his place.At the Jackson family..."It's been almost a week since the incident happened, and that girl is still roaming freely. Just what backer has she found?" Mrs. Jackson sat on the couch and wondered. She has been adding fuel to the burning fire, but it seems nothing has been done. The police have not even come out to say anything about the incident. They were all pretending as if nothing had happened."Mother, don't you know?" Elidad asked. He couldn't make it to the business party, but his friends who went told him everything."What do I not know?" Mrs. Jackson lifted her head slightly and aske
