In the car, Jesslyn looked at her husband, who was driving, with admiring eyes. Her fingers linked. She didn't expect the husband she had always looked down upon and despised to defend her to such an extent. The man even proved his words and was able to fight back against the people who had insulted him with unexpected attacks."Why are you looking at me like that, Jess? Is there something wrong with my face?" Joe raised one eyebrow. He knew what was in his wife's heart but wanted to play with her for a while.With a mischievous look, Joe occasionally looked at Jesslyn, who looked embarrassed at being caught staring at her husband's face for a long time."N-no, I'm just ...." Jesslyn was nervous, her eyes wildly staring here and there until it made Joe laugh softly."Honestly, you must be fascinated with this handsome husband of yours, right?" Joe gave a seductive smile, which was rewarded with a gentle punch by Jesslyn on his arm."Hey, don't hit me. Do you want us to get hurt later?"
"Did you just realize that? That's too bad," Zack interrupted. He didn't want the tears dripping from his sister's eyes to melt his parents.Even though they were both born to the same parents, Zack felt superior because he was born a man—a family leader who could control and organize everything.Jess looked down for a moment. Her eyes gazed at the collection of suitcases lying unceremoniously on the floor."If you consider me a burden, why do you still expect money from me? Aren't you ashamed of using money from someone you call a burden?" Jesslyn raised her face. This time, that disappointed expression started to turn into hate."You're still asking?" Zack approached his older sister and then pushed her. "Didn't I tell you that you must repay all the hard work that Mom and Dad have put in over the years? Who do you think you've been living off of? Who's been paying for your university fees, food, etc.? Do you think that doesn't require money? So, it's only natural that mom and dad wo
Joe and Jesslyn circled the city in their new car. Luckily, they have a car. Otherwise, they would have to spend even more money to find a new place to live because they would have to rent a car."Where are we going to live after this, Joe? I don't think I have enough money if we have to rent a house." Jesslyn complained. She looked at her wallet, which only contained a few bills. While in her ATM, there was only a little money left because she had spent a lot to pay several accounts at her parents' house. She had also shopped many necessities for the next month's stock."Don't worry. I still have money, even though it's not much. Is it okay if we just rent a small flat? At least we can sleep tonight without sleeping in the car." Joe said.Jesslyn sighed heavily, then nodded. From the beginning, she could already imagine the difficulties she would face after moving out of her parents' house. But she couldn't insist on staying in the same place as her parents after being dishonorably ev
Seeing Noona's contained figure beside their car while knocking on the window, Jesslyn decided to go outside first and asked Joe to stay in the car."What's wrong?" Jesslyn, to the point, expressed her astonishment. She looked at Noona, who looked miserable."There's something I want to talk to you about."Without Jesslyn realizing it, Noona quickly grabbed her hand and led her away from the car.Joe, who saw this, intended to get out of the car and catch up with his wife, but Jesslyn immediately gave the code for her husband to remain silent.After the two of them were a few meters away from the car, Noona released her hand grip. She stared at Jesslyn while smacking her lips. She folded her arms across her chest as if belittling her lover's sister."I want that car," Noona said aloud. Jesslyn, who heard it, immediately furrowed her brows as a sign that she didn't understand what the woman had just said."You mean you want a new car?" Jesslyn asked for an explanation.Noona shook her
"What if I can't make the real estate business grow? What if your business suffers a loss? Aren't you afraid of loss?" Joe asked for further explanation.Although there is a saying that "if you want to succeed, you have to take risks," Joe didn't want to follow that saying. He didn't want to risk losing his current job to start something new because he had to work hard to make his wife happy.It's been quite a few years since he's bothered Jesslyn and stayed home. He needs to rebuild his self-esteem."In the cooperation agreement, there is not a single point that harms you. I will also give you a generous salary according to your current work standard." Lucas took the document he had handed to Joe and then showed the points of the agreement he was explaining."Are you sure?" The doubt that was in his heart did not diminish at all. Now, it was growing."Why? Don't you trust me? I won't trap you or set you up. All the points of the agreement that I wrote there are clearly stated, and we
Joe looked at Aaron with one eyebrow raised, and he was confused by the man's presence, especially when he saw the disrespectful behavior that the man did by entering the CEO's room without knocking on the door first.Moreover, he increasingly needed help understanding the words spoken by Aaron. What wrong had his wife done that they both had to be fired?"What do you mean, what wrong has my wife done?" Joe asked. A cold, flat tone fell from his lips."Has your wife told you anything yet?" Aaron chuckled. He flashed a smile as he saw Jesslyn looking uncomfortable and intimidated by the gaze he was giving her.Joe was silent, his hand clasped even tighter around his wife's hand. His gaze did not move an inch from Aaron's figure, who looked arrogant and haughty."Judging from your expression, it looks like you don't know anything about what your wife has done wrong. Come, I'll tell you everything." Aaron approached the couple and didn't care about the company's CEO, who had been staring
Joe and Jesslyn were silent. Neither of them spoke, and both of them simultaneously kept their mouths shut as they walked towards the company's exit.At this point, Joe was still in complete trust in his wife. He was sure that Jesslyn was not guilty at all.Meanwhile, Jesslyn, who was slandered, her expression looked tangled because her brain had been thinking and looking for a way out of the problems that were currently happening to her."Wow, this couple turned out to be very compact. They were fired at the same time." Rocky made a gesture of covering his mouth with one hand as if to show that he didn't mean it."They're very compatible and destined to be a match. That's why they were always together until they left the company simultaneously." Rizky said. "By the way, you don't need to act like someone who doesn't know anything, Rocky. You should have guessed that both would be fired from this company sooner or later, especially after their dealings with Mr. Oliver."Rizky and Rocky
Joe squeezed his hair roughly after being put into the jail cell. He stared outside, where the police were busy on duty."What should I do now? How do I get out of this place?" Joe muttered in frustration.***Jesslyn stared at her husband's departure bitterly. She was at a loss for what to do, especially now that she didn't have much money to guarantee her husband's freedom.With sluggish steps, Jesslyn returned to the apartment and picked up her charging cell phone on the table."Hello, Mom. How are you?" Jesslyn opened the conversation. She was forced to call her mom for help."What's wrong? It's unusual for you to call your mom. Are you in trouble right now?" Rosetta replied sarcastically. From her daughter's tone, she knew that the other person was currently in big trouble. She could deduce that just by hearing her daughter's style, which sounded listless and desperate."Mmmm," Jesslyn was at a loss for what to say. She knew what her mother's character was like, so she could guess
