Oddie was rushed to the hospital, while the guests who saw the incident only flinched except for Joe, Jesslyn and Lucas, who was very empathetic and had a close relationship with the man. "Increase your driving speed, Joe. I'm afraid we'll be too late getting Mr Oddie to the hospital, and it could be fatal," Jesslyn pleaded while biting her nails anxiously. It was a habit she often engaged in when feeling excessively anxious, and she couldn't stop doing it at all until now, even though Joe frequently asked her to stop because it wasn't good for her health. "Yes, Babe. I've been driving at the maximum speed within the context of safety. If I go faster than this, we might be the ones who will get hurt later," Joe replied hurriedly. He also felt the same extreme worry as Jesslyn, but he still had to think clearly to keep them safe. "Sorry." Jesslyn instantly realized her mistake; she immediately apologized, which Joe had directly brushed off. "No problem, Babe. I understand that you'r
Lucas shrugged his shoulders, indicating he didn't know anything about Zack and Rosetta's current whereabouts. "I don't know, Jess. I didn't even realize when they left my house. They didn't say goodbye to me at all, and Noona didn't tell me anything until I asked her a week ago," Lucas revealed. "What was the problem that they left your house?" This time, it was Joe who asked the question. "I don't know. It just so happened that when they left, I was busy expanding my business network and didn't live in the house for a few months. They were the only ones there; even the other servants were on vacation, but I allowed them to stay there because I knew they had no other place to live. Noona had worked for me for a long time anyway. Even her mother had worked for my family before she passed away. So I didn't know anything about them leaving without saying goodbye," Lucas explained again, emphasizing that he knew nothing about Zack and Rosetta leaving. Lucas understood that Jesslyn mu
Jesslyn tried to rethink what she should do in the future. She had to think about her decisions because if she made the wrong choice, everything would end up in vain. "Why, you look confused again. Is there still something bothering you, HM?" Joe asked again. Jesslyn exhaled her breath heavily. "Yes. I don't know whether to forgive them or not. What if they don't change, too? Then, the second chance I gave them will be in vain." "What I'm afraid of is that they'll cause even more trouble and damage than before," Jesslyn said with concern. "How about we visit Dad first? He could give you some advice."Jesslyn's eyes lit up as if she had found an oasis in the desert. "You're right. It's been a long time since we visited Dad. I'm sure he'll be able to give us the best advice for Mom and Zack's current situation," Jesslyn said happily. ***In a different place, the party that was previously chaotic because of Aaron's well-orchestrated plan, some guests had gone home while the rest we
"Jo?" Quina was just as surprised as Jonathan. She quickly adjusted her unbuttoned clothes and walked over to Jonathan, who looked shocked and frozen. "Don't touch me, Mom. I'm disgusted," Jonathan said in a shaky voice. All this time, Jonathan had always considered his mother a noble figure worthy of respect. However, when he saw his mother almost having sex with someone, it meant that his mother had cheated on his father, and Jonathan could not tolerate any explanation that his mother would give. After regaining his strength, Jonathan quickly left. He left Quina, still lingering in the room with her mistress. In a different corner, someone seemed to be smiling with satisfaction after seeing the second mess resulting from his cunning plan. "Well done, Moss. You always make me satisfied with your performance," Aaron complimented his faithful secretary. "You are too much, sir. I must carry out your orders." Moss replied while humbling himself. He didn't want to look arrogant afte
After getting advice from Ben, which was enough to make them breathe a sigh of relief, especially Jesslyn, who was eager to help her family but hesitant to do so, they continued their journey to the hospital where Oddie was currently being treated. "How is Mr. Oddie's condition right now, Lucas? Has it shown good progress?" asked Joe to Lucas, who seemed to be holding back his sleepiness. "Since yesterday, Mr. Oddie has not shown any signs of coming out of his stupor. I asked the doctor on duty about this, and he said that Mr. Oddie would wake up within the next hour or two. Currently, Mr. Oddie is under the influence of medication, so it's only natural that he's still unconscious," Lucas explained with a yawn. "Hopefully, Mr. Oddie will wake up soon and recover like before. I feel very sorry for him. His daughter just died, and now he has to receive even more shocking news about her behavior. If I were him, I probably wouldn't have survived this far," Jesslyn said sadly. Lucas an
Joe tried to cheer Jonathan up. He even asked Christine to bring him snacks to help his cousin feel better. He deliberately postponed his work to accompany the man immersed in his sadness. "What should I do, Joe? I'm baffled now. I won't be able to act like I used to with Mommy, and I certainly won't forget that incident. I'm confused. What should I do in response to the affair? Should I tell Daddy everything, or what?" Jonathan bombarded Joe with many questions. Joe thought momentarily, then calmly replied, "I can't give you much advice, Jonathan. But I think I can do one thing for you." "What is it?" asked Jonathan. Joe then answered in a whispered voice, to which Jonathan responded pleasedly. "Thank you, Joe. You're the only one who can understand me. If I had known that you could help me escape this, I would have come to you sooner and fought the fear of Mommy telling me to stay home," Jonathan said. "Everything has its time, Jonathan. The revelation of your mother's affair m
Jesslyn was stunned, her movements instantly frozen after hearing Oddie's request, which she thought sounded unreasonable. "Mr. Oddie, it looks like you're still not one hundred percent conscious. I'll call for a doctor in case there are some checks he missed," Jesslyn said, preparing to stand up and call back the doctor who had come out a few moments ago. "No, Mrs. Jesslyn," Oddie argued. "I'm not that sick that I can't realize what I'm saying right now. I want you to be my adopted daughter if you're willing. It's been a long time since I've heard someone this happy to see me in pain like this, and the way you've treated me is enough to make me believe that you're a good person and make me want to have a daughter like you." Jesslyn stared deeply at Oddie. She looked at the man intently, trying to judge whether the man was really awake or still under the influence of drugs. "Do you mean what you're saying right now, Mr. Oddie?" asked Jesslyn for reassurance. Oddie nodded. "Yes. L
"Let's talk in my office," Joe ordered with a cold look in his eyes. He couldn't tolerate the ruckus Quina had created, let alone her making a scene in his office. "No. Explain here and explain to me, where my son went!" Quina tried to intimidate Joe, but her efforts didn't work. "No." "Explain to me, bastard!" "All right, I'll grant your wish. But don't blame me if you feel embarrassed that your family's private matters could be known by many people," Joe challenged. Quina was silent. Finally, the arrogant woman had to swallow her ego and chose to follow Joe upstairs. "I didn't expect a classy woman like Mrs Quina to act like such an anarchist," whispered one of the employees, but his voice was still loud enough to be heard by Quina and Joe, who were a few meters ahead of them. Quina growled in annoyance, for a split second, she cursed at her behaviour, preferring to act anarchist instead of approaching Joe in the usual way. Jonathan's departure after their dispute made Quina
