Taking care of office matters at home, differs from Jesslyn's agenda. This had to be done to reduce the existing problems.

Yes, the problem in the form of a scandal tarnished the company's good name pinned behind Jesslyn's name. Her career is almost on the line. But, of course, there is always a way to save both of them.

One is asking Jesslyn not to go to the office for some time. That was the wish of the company officials.

"The company officials are forced to ask you to do this. But that does not mean you are dismissed. I hope you understand your current position." Lucas said it firmly. He was talking alone with Jesslyn in his office, right on the top floor of Seattle Company.

Jesslyn took a short breath. She looked out the office window, which showed the view from the top floor of the Seattle Company building. "I understand. It's just that this makes me inefficient in taking care of my work." There was a slight tone of protest in the woman's voice.

"I understand. But what else can w

Why didn't you report the person to the police?" A reporter asked Jesslyn.She shook her head weakly. "I thought it would just take up my time. I'm swamped. If this problem gets bigger, it will only interfere with my work later."The reporters nodded their heads."For me, being a victim of attempted rape is my bitter past. I want to forget all about it. Therefore, whoever you are out there still has that photo of me. I strongly request that you no longer post that photo on social media. Thank you." Jesslyn ended the press conference.

There, Aaron heard the news about Rizky from two of his employees who were busy gossiping."Rizky, he's a very good sycophant. He's always wanted to get promoted.

    "I have an appointment with Mrs. Kaluna in room 203. I was asked to see you right away," Jesslyn said in a sweet tone to the receptionist at Hotel Panama."One moment, I'll check first. Hmm, yes. According to our records, Mrs. Kaluna is expecting you there. Do we need to escort you?"Jesslyn shook her head. "Oh, no need. I already know the place. I've stayed here before."She turned to head for the elevator. She knew where room 203 was. It wasn't hard to find. As she told the receptionist, she had stayed at this hotel. But that was about two years ago. Nonetheless, she still remembered the intricacies of this hotel.The elevator Jesslyn was riding stopped at the fifteenth floor. Once out, she stepped into the corridor. It took her only a short time to find room number 203.She didn't need to knock on the door to see if it was occupied. She knew Kaluna was not in there.

Just watch out if she intends to spread with that photo." Aaron chuckled. He didn't like being threatened and, especially, being threatened by a woman like Jesslyn. It felt like his pride was falling from the top of the tower.Reluctantly leaving the hotel, Aaron decided to stay there that day. His desire was still unfulfilled. As a result, he decided to call someone from his cell phone. That person might not be as beautiful as Jessl

    After the news of Joe's actions reached the ears of the employees at Seattle Group, Jesslyn experienced the same thing again.The bullying she experienced at work was rarely absent. It's not a school environment that is familiar with bullying. But, in a work environment where people are supposed to be professional. Instead, they put each other down."Uuh! Seriously! I can't eat anymore!" scolded one of the Seattle Company employees who sat with her back to Jesslyn. A colleague sitting in front of her frowned."You didn't even have breakfast this morning. Is there something wrong with your stomach?" She asked without any suspicion.Her companion's eyes bulged as if to say, 'You idiot!'"Yes, suddenly my stomach is rejecting this food because someone can sit quietly while others don't get their due. I'm getting scared, and we might be the next victims!"Jesslyn knew the sarcasm was aimed at her. The rice had already been cooked, and it was useless for her to make any defense to save her

    "So, you're innocent and just being slandered here?" asked one of the reporters, peppering Aaron with questions."I don't know why Joe always tries to bring me down. I was wrong when I tried to engage his wife in conversation at the party a few weeks ago. But that's no good reason for him to try to destroy my career like this, is it?" Aaron acted like someone who was being persecuted. He wanted the reporters to switch to his side."So, indirectly, the police report that got your name was just based on Mr. Joe's jealousy towards you because you engaged his wife in conversation?"Aaron nodded again. "Yes. I guess it's like that, but I don't know if he has any other grudges against me. Well... it's possible that he felt jealous of my success in building a company earlier and more rapidly than his."***The press conference held by Aaron was quiet. It had a lot of influence on Joe's life. He, who from the beginning only fought back by bringing valid evidence and reporting the man to the p

    Jonathan accelerated his footsteps towards the place his father had indicated. His heart was beating so fast it was hard for him to hold back his anger towards the man who had deceived him. "Yesterday, you got away because I was still kind to you, Mark. But not this time. I will make you feel what is called hell on earth!" Jonathan was determined. With one step left to the warehouse where his captive was kept, Jonathan tried to control himself. He inhaled and exhaled many times to keep his emotions and expressions under control, so Mark would have no opportunity to fight him later. "Wow, didn't I see it wrong? The person I thought had gone to the other side of the world is still loyal to this country," Jonathan chuckled. Not forgetting, he showed a cruel grin to intimidate his opponent. Mark, who Jonathan had already tortured, was naturally very scared now. If he were free from the shackles that bound him at the moment, he would indeed run as far away from the man as possible. "W

    Joe visits Oddie after not seeing the man for a long time. The relationship between the two of them was quite good, especially after Sarah died and Oddie decided to consider Jesslyn as his daughter. And now, Joe's purpose for coming to see Oddie was to discuss what was happening at Skyland Company. He wanted to get some advice that might help him to overcome the problems that were happening, especially since the man was quite an influential person and had a lot of experience. "So, the news about SkyLand Company going downhill is true?" Oddie asked. He, whose condition had improved, took a sip of tea served by one of the servants in his house. "Yes, Mr. Oddie. I would like to hear your opinion on the problems that SkyLand Company is facing. Moreover, you are one of the investors in my company, so you might be able to give some thoughts from your perspective as an investor," Joe pleaded. "Call me dad, Joe. Aren't we family now?

After a long time of authorizing Cristine to take care of the company, Joe finally sat down in his work chair as he began his task of solving the many problems that had befallen Skyland Company lately. "What about the investors who have withdrawn their funds, Cristine? Are they willing to come back and entrust their money to SkyLand Company after I start working again?" Joe asked Cristine who was handing over some important files that required the man's signature. "No, Mr. Joe." Cristine took a deep breath and then exhaled slowly to ease the tightness attacking her chest. "I've investigated everything, Mr. Joe. And there seems to be a reason why they withdrew the investment." Hearing the explanation from his secretary, Joe looked interested. He stopped what he was doing for a moment, then looked at Cristine and gave her the code to explain further."When you handed over the main task to me to lead SkyLan

    Aaron and Esther left Zack who was still faithful to shouting incoherently, berating and insulting Aaron so that the man would come back and deal with his current behavior. Unfortunately, Aaron was not provoked at all. He didn't care about Zack's screams, and neither did Esther. After coming out of the room that held Zack, Esther immediately dropped her body onto the sofa located not far away. She looked tired. "It turns out that dealing with someone like Zack is tiring too, huh? I didn't expect him to still be able to fight back when he's in such a tight spot." Esther chuckled, as if she had forgotten what Zack had done to her earlier. "Zack is like that. Why do you think Joe chose to kick him out of the house instead of forgiving him?" Aaron narrowed his eyes, then snapped his fingers as Esther looked back at him with furrowed brows. "Yep, Zack is the type of person who doesn't know himself. That's why, Joe would rather let him go than have to live with him for the rest of his l

    Joe took a deep breath, he asked Cristine to go home first and he would think about what he would do next. Ben, who was visiting his daughter at the time, immediately approached Joe and patted him on the shoulder. "You can focus on your work again, Joe. As for Jesslyn, let me take care of her. When she regains consciousness, then I'll let you know." "But, Dad?" Joe wanted to argue. He wanted to be by his wife's side at all times. He doesn't want that when she woke up, he wouldn't be by her side. Joe knew that Jesslyn would be devastated to learn that their future child had died in her womb, and he wanted to be by her side to give her encouragement and strength. "There's no refusal, Joe. This is all for the good of everyone." Ben tried to open Joe's mind. "Think about it, if your company were to go downhill, you would have to cut back on employees, which would affect the families of those employees because the head of their family would no longer have a job. In addition, your finan

    "We're sorry, your future child cannot be saved. Mrs. Jesslyn's condition is also still not improving, she is still in a critical condition and will have to be admitted into the ICU after this. This is because she was brought to the hospital too late, and the patient has already lost a lot of blood." The doctor's explanation was like a sledgehammer hitting Joe's heart. He sat down, then covered his face. Not long after, there was a numb voice. The man was crying, because he had to get such a painful fact when his life was already on top. Joe didn't expect that this painful thing could happen to him. And this time he couldn't do anything but wait for his wife's condition to improve. "Joe." Rosetta approached her son-in-law and put her hand on his shoulder as a form of transferring strength and encouragement.Honestly, in the deepest corner of her heart, Rosetta felt very guilty for having to lie about the real reason for Jesslyn's fall. However, she was forced to do this so that Zac

    Rosetta rushed over to her daughter who had fallen and was moaning in pain. With shaky steps from shock, she struggled to help Jesslyn up. "Argh! It hurts!" Jesslyn cried out, her breathing labored and her face starting to turn pale. Rosetta was getting more and more worried and scared when she saw the condition that befell her daughter, her mind was too raging that she couldn't think clearly to find another way out so that her daughter could be saved immediately. Meanwhile, Zack, who didn't know that the impulse he was making had a very bad impact, immediately trembled. Instead of helping his sister, Zack pulled his mother and threatened the woman who had given birth to him. "Mommy, don't tell anyone what happened today! If you dare to do that, then I will act recklessly!" After saying that, Zack quickly left Rosetta who was rooted to the spot. The middle-aged woman's mind was raging, and her consciousness seemed to return after hearing Jesslyn moan for the last time before col

    "Yes, Mommy was expelled by Grandpa from the house after the resistance she put up. I'm actually confused as to why Mommy even fought back, even though from the stories of some of the bodyguards, since the beginning of Mommy's punishment she doesn't dare to fight Grandpa. Even facing or looking into Grandpa's eyes, Mommy doesn't dare." Jonathan explained. "Then, where did Aunty Quina go? Does she have somewhere to sleep tonight?" Joe asked, wanting to extract more information from his cousin. "I don't know because I didn't have time to ask Mommy either. Mommy chose to leave after being kicked out and she doesn't say anything either. But, I think Mommy must have somewhere to go whether it's a hotel or an inn to sleep tonight. Moreover, Grandpa also gave her money before Mommy." "So, that means aunty Quina didn't leave empty-handed, right?" Joe asked again, which was immediately greeted with a nod by Jonathan. "But why did Aunty prefer to go together with Aaron instead of looking fo

    Quina was sitting restlessly at the front of the cafe near her house that provided a place to relax for customers who wanted to enjoy the outdoor atmosphere. "Where's Aaron? What took him so long?" Quina chuckled in annoyance. Every now and then she took a sip of the coffee she had ordered in order to sit in that part of the cafe. After taking a sip of the coffee, Quina's face looked different. Her brow furrowed, and her eyes narrowed. "What is this coffee? It doesn't taste very good." Quina looked disgustedly at the coffee, then pushed the glass away from her body. "It turns out that I was right in my assumption that the food and drinks usually consumed by the lower middle class are very bad. I feel like spitting out the coffee I just drank." Quina said quite loudly, and her words provoked various reactions from the people around her, especially the visitors who were mostly students. Those who heard the inappropriate sentence immediately booed Quina openly and it made her even mo
