“You… you’re selecting our company for the project?”

At this moment, within Rebecca’s office, Jewel’s father was seen seated across from Rebecca with a bewildered expression on his face.

He couldn’t believe what he had just heard, and never in his wildest imagination had he expected that this would genuinely happen.

He felt that this was one of the dreams he’d been having for months now.

His heartbeat was so loud that it felt as though it would genuinely leap out of his chest.

He felt excited and apprehensive at the same time that he had simply misheard, and was utterly afraid and nervous now that he was just dreaming like every other night.

Observing the overly thrilled Middle-aged man, Rebecca, who has once again regained her elegance and authoritative appearance, smiled kindly at him, and then she nodded her head at his question.

She replied, then after a second thought of whether it was necessary or not, she added. “Initially, it wouldn’t have been you.”

    *****To most of the Marshman family, that day was a day of joy and celebration, making them all forget all the plots they had devised for Jewel and her parents. Although the allure of Jewel's multibillion-dollar accessories remained much more compelling to them, the fact that they could now flaunt their cooperation with the colossal Crest Conglomerate openly was still much more significant.As for the rest of the people, they were initially filled to the brim with astonishment, like the others, and then an immense anger that could devastate the nation overwhelmed them. However, what could they do? Nothing but sulking silently in their misery.……Back to Alex and Dami. Upon leaving the company that day, Dami directly drove them home. However, before they arrived, Dami received an exhilarating call from Jewel, who shared the terrific news with her.

    Like the previous day, the third-generation troublemakers of Alex's school had organized individuals outside the school premises who would deal with Alex for them once he arrived, and they were numerous and much more formidable than those sent the previous day.Regrettably for them, since Alex wasn't alone today and didn't need to walk to school, they were meant to be disappointed.Alex didn't even notice them at all as he entered the school gate in Dami’s car, as he was still lost and absorbed in his thoughts, from what Dami had told him on the way. Truth be told, Alex had contemplated revealing the same thing to Jewel for some time now. However, he had always been paralyzed by the profound fear that Jewel might despise him or want nothing more to do with him again. Now, after hearing Dami say she wants to reveal the truth, Alex recognizes that he has been excessively selfish in the past.Although Dami was the one who suggested not telling Jewel the truth from the start, Alex would

    It has always been said since ancient times that paying a visit to the In-laws tends to induce anxiety, particularly for men when they're visiting their Father-in-law, who was a strict individual.However, fortunately, or unfortunately, this wasn't the case for Alex at all.He wasn’t nervous at all that his father-in-law who hadn’t shown him any emotions the two times they saw actually requested to see him, why? Because Alex has something much more pressing in his mind right now.‘Didn’t it seem quite easy to explain initially? Why does it suddenly become this difficult?’Alex felt incredibly frustrated at this moment, struggling to keep his composure.‘Could it be because it was going to be only I and her present at the time of the confession?’Alex pondered, biting his lip. He blamed himself for being too timid to speak when Dami was present, which would have helped ease his anxiety substantially.Sighing deeply for the hundredth time that night, Alex rested his head against the ta

Were you able to confess the truth to Sister Jewel?”Hearing her, Alex took out a chair from the dining and sat on it, then with a sigh, he recounted what occurred last night to Dami, to her deep shock.Even after a while, Dami wasn’t able to react.“Didn’t I tell you yesterday that I feel like she already knew something?”Alex sighed heavily when he heard this.Just as the two were about to return to their deep thought, the

My father has mentioned a lot about you,” the middle-aged man who was pointed to walked forward and smiled slightly at Alex.Although he sounded respectful, the curiosity in his eyes as he tried to judge Alex was visible for Alex to see, but despite this, Alex acted as if he saw nothing, returning the man’s greeting.“It is nice to meet you,” he shook the middle-aged man’s outstretched hand and then subconsciously glanced at the cold beauty behi
