In the morning, Joe felt a sense of relief after telling Jesslyn everything. "Good morning, Babe," Joe said after coming out of the room, and immediately hugged his wife who was busy preparing breakfast. "Morning," Jesslyn replied briefly. "How did you sleep? If you still feel tired or sleepy, just go back to sleep. I've contacted Cristine to reschedule your activities for today." "No, I didn't. I'm not tired anymore, especially after explaining what really happened to you.""That means you're feeling tired and under-rested because you're thinking too much about your grandfather's sudden arrival, right?" Jesslyn guessed. *Hmmmm." Joe nodded. "Don't underestimate that old man. He's too powerful, he also has a lot of money. So, he can do anything to get his way." Jesslyn shuddered. "I didn't expect that your grandfather's innocent expression could deceive me so well yesterday."Joe chuckled. "Yes, that's so. But I feel relieved that I told you everything." Jesslyn raised one eyebro
"I'm sorry, Joe. But I can't let the company go to you because the Seattle Group will falter now that someone else has taken over one of its strongest pillars," Lucas explained. "In other words, with SkyLand Company's ownership transferring to you in its entirety, Seattle Group's balance will be disrupted, and I don't want to take the risk of you cutting off the cooperation between our companies in the future." Hearing Lucas's explanation, which sounded very reasonable, Joe could only exhale his breath roughly. His mind was split, and honestly, he felt very disappointed that his hope of owning SkyLand Company could not run smoothly. "I honestly don't know what to do now, Lucas. I'm sure Kevin Bouguler wouldn't just show up out of nowhere. He must want something from me, so I must have a firm grip to face his attacks, and the only way I can think of is to take over SkyLand Company," Joe said."If you want a strong grip and a head start, you don't need to take over this company, Joe.
In accordance with the orders given by his boss, Joshua returned to his room again and contacted the receptionist who had been waiting since earlier in the company lobby. "Please invite Mr. Kevin to come upstairs," Joshua ordered. It didn't take long for the elevator right in front of Joshua's room to open, and the man quickly approached Kevin. "Welcome, Mr. Kevin. Please, Mr. Lucas is waiting for you inside." Joshua invited Kevin to enter after knocking on the door as a code to Lucas that his guest had arrived. "Hmm," was Kevin's only response, no thanks at all coming from the man's lips. "I think I'd rather take a leave of absence than have to deal with a guest like this," Joshua mused as he shuddered in horror at the intimidating aura that surrounded Kevin from earlier. "Sorry, sir. You can't go inside because Mr. Lucas only lets Mr. Kevin in," Joshua interrupted when he saw Kevin's two bodyguards wanting to follow their boss' lead. The two bodyguards wanted to argue, but K
Joe pounded his desk loudly. One problem was unfinished, and now it had to be added to another. "What is the reason Mr. Bristone canceled the purchase? Didn't he really like the property we built? He even plans to become an official investor of SkyLand Company. So, how could he just cancel the purchase?" Joe bombarded Cristine with many questions. His mind was getting frantic. If it had only been Mr. Bristone who had canceled the purchase, Joe would not have been this panicked and upset. As someone who has been in the business world for a long time, Joe certainly knows that the decision made by a big businessman can make other businessmen make the same decision. And look at it now, it's all proven by the withdrawal of several prospective buyers, even buyers who have already paid a down payment also canceled their purchase. "I don't know either, sir. Mr. Bristone's secretary contacted me and said that her boss canceled the purchase. When I asked her why, she immediately hung up." C
Bristone couldn't figure out what was going through his boss's head. Had he been Joe, his grandfather's name would have been the prime suspect in the sudden bankruptcy. "Alright, sir. I can only follow your orders. I hope Joe will not suspect you of the loss he is currently experiencing." Brimstone looked at Kevin, and he deliberately said that to open Kevin's mind a little without him having to take the trouble to advise him himself because he knew that Kevin was not the type of person who liked to be informed, especially when the person instructing him was younger than him. "I'm sure he won't suspect me unless someone tells him." Kevin stared intently at Bristone as if to emphasize that he would never forgive anyone who betrayed him, even if the one who did the disgusting thing were his confidant."I would never betray you, Mr. Kevin." Bristone, who knew the meaning of his boss's gaze, replied firmly to avoid misunderstanding. "I didn't mean to make you feel uncomfortable with my
"What did you do to my mom, huh?" Jesslyn said back, her eyes loyally staring at Noona, who was still trying to pull Rosetta away from her. "You guys don't need to interfere! Mom and I have to go home soon because we still have work to do," Noona replied, making an excuse. With a single jerk, Noona pulled Rosetta's hand so hard that Jesslyn was forced to release her grip on her mother's hand so that her mother wouldn't feel any pain. "Come on, Mom, let's go home. If we're late, we'll get fired," Noona gave a sharp look at her mother-in-law, then gave the middle-aged woman the code to avoid any drama that could make them the center of attention again. "But-" Rosetta wanted to deny; there was something she wanted to talk to Jesslyn about, and she found an excellent opportunity a few minutes ago because she thought Noona wouldn't be able to see her quickly, especially since her daughter-in-law was busy having fun on the rides at the fairgrounds."Mom!" Noona raised her tone of voice
Kevin said goodbye after chatting for a while with Jesslyn. He didn't return to the apartment he had just bought yesterday but instead went down to the lobby and prepared to go somewhere. Jesslyn, meanwhile, could only watch the departure of her husband's grandfather with an astonished look. "How strange. What exactly does Grandpa want? Now and then, he looks happy, but when my attention is diverted to another place or object, his expression immediately turns sour. Does he intend to separate me from his grandson?" she muttered. Jesslyn went back inside her apartment. She cleaned up the two glasses used to serve drinks, then returned the photo album containing her wedding moments to the room. While she was busy cleaning up, her cell phone rang. Quickly, she picked it up."Hello?" greeted Jesslyn in a voice that was trying to be soft because Sarah was calling her, and she didn't want to get too close to that woman, especially after her behavior that seemed very suspicious when it cam
"Yes, that's my husband. He seems to be busy," Jesslyn replied flatly. Her hands were still busy flipping through the menu book and acting like she didn't care that her husband was nearby. "You don't want to go over to your husband?" provoked Sarah while leering at Joe, who was still busy discussing with Lucas. "No. He must be busy discussing something with his business partner. I don't have the right to disturb him," Jesslyn evaded. Sarah nodded and finally shut up after Jesslyn showed no interest in the topic of conversation she was building. However, her eyes could not move from Joe's figure, who looked very dashing in her eyes. "By the way, where do you know my husband from, Sarah? I don't think I've ever introduced you to my husband before, have I?" asked Jesslyn while looking at Sarah with a probing look.Hearing the sharp question, Sarah immediately faltered. She tried her best not to look nervous and suspicious in front of Jesslyn by pretending to clear her throat, then wi
