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

    Joe and Jesslyn rode together to the Skyland Company, leaving a sulking Sarah in the parking lot of the private park. "You have gone a bit too far, Jess. You should have seen Sarah's expression earlier. She looked furious at you," Joe reprimanded. "Let her be. Now and then, she must feel what it's like to be ignored by others." Jesslyn smacked her lips. "She's the kind of girl who always manages to get other people's attention, so she never thinks twice about flirting with you because she thinks she'll tempt you. CK, she's the kind of bitch who will do anything to get what she wants." Joe leered sideways, flashing a seductive expression at his wife. "Are you jealous?" he prodded."Of course!" Jesslyn gave Joe a fierce look. "You should be happy that I'm trying to keep her away from you. Or... you actually like Sarah, so you're not bothered by her flirtatious behaviour, are you?" she accused. Joe hurriedly shook his head before his wife could misunderstand him further. "Of course n

    Joe contacted Lucas, asking to meet with the man again after their encounter a few hours ago in the same park where Sarah and Jesslyn used to meet. "Yes. I'm going to Seattle Group right now. Do you have some free time? Because there is an important matter I want to discuss with you regarding my request regarding the transfer of SkyLand Company's ownership," Joe asked. "Alright, then I'll wait for you to come here," Joe said again after a long silence. He had just finished listening to Lucas's counter-argument on the other side of the phone. Joe switched off the phone and placed it on the table before Jesslyn, who had been watching her husband's every move. "How was it? Are you going to Seattle Group right now?" Jesslyn asked the question that had been rattling around in her brain. "Lucas said he'll come here because he happens to be on his way to SkyLand Company. So, let's wait for his arrival," Joe replied.Jesslyn nodded. Without waiting long, she moved her seat to the sofa in

    Joe stared at Lucas with eyes full of confusion, but then those eyes turned to horror as he realized something from the sentence the man he was talking to had just uttered. "Did Grandpa come to see you, Lucas?" guessed Joe with his heart racing. Lucas nodded. "Just as you predicted. That man asked me to kick you out of SkyLand Company. He even lured me with so much money that he would invest in the Seattle Group as long as I helped him to make you poor," he explained. Joe wasn't too surprised when he heard that, as he had predicted the purpose of Kevin's long absence. "I had expected him to do something like this. But I'm amazed because it turns out that he came to you himself and dared to offer cooperation to bring me down openly," Joe said. Lucas cast a pitying look at the other man. He didn't think that in this world, there was someone who had to go against his own family to maintain the success he had worked so hard to achieve."Therefore, I prefer to leave SkyLand Company to

    "How's the business going now, Dad? Is everything running smoothly?" asked Jesslyn while paying attention to every inch of her father's selling place. "Not bad, at least the profit I get can fulfill my needs." Ben also looked at his place of business with a joyful gaze. "The customers started to shop here regularly after 2 weeks since the first time this business was established. So, for the early days of opening the business yesterday, I didn't get much profit. But now it's not bad, because the buyers are also starting to become regular buyers and of course that brings its own benefits for me," He continued to explain. Hearing about the progress of the business that her father is running, Jesslyn was naturally very happy, especially when she saw the changes in her father's body, which started to get fatter from the last time she saw him a few weeks ago. "Thank goodness. Hopefully this business will be more successful and Dad can buy whatever you wants later without having to bothe

    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? Don't be so formal when we're not in the office," Oddie

    Joe returned to work as usual, and Cristine welcomed her boss with great joy. 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
