However, the question seemed like an afterthought. Neither Chloe nor Olivia wanted to answer. They suddenly became statues with their mouths tightly shut. After all, they knew very well what kind of closeness Jeslyn and Felix had despite not knowing the exact relationship. Veronica knew nothing about Jeslyn and only thought of her as a stranger.She looked at Chloe and Olivia in turn and said, "Even if it's just a candidate, at least we already have a plan for the way forward. Now that you know, don't you want to introduce yourselves? I have to make sure that you're not people who have a specific purpose. I don't want him to suffer any harm."Chloe swallowed with difficulty. Now, she could no longer reply to Veronica's words. It was Jeslyn's presence that scared her."What the hell are you talking about? Can you please explain it to me?" Jeslyn frowned in annoyance.Veronica turned around with an equally annoyed look on her face. First, she scanned Jeslyn's entire body, making the gir
Chloe, initially afraid of a fight between Veronica and Jeslyn, instantly became upset. She turned around and snapped, "What's a winner? There is no such thing as a winner here? Do you think my brother is something to fight over, huh? No! You all lost, and I'm the only winner!"Olivia swallowed nervously and tried to calm Chloe down. "Hey-""Shut up, Sis!" However, Chloe just jerked her without looking at her, making Olivia instantly speechless.Then she looked at the appearance of the older woman in front of her and frowned in confusion. "Who are you? Why are you suddenly interfering with our conversation?""I'm the one who's always been in Felix's heart," the old woman replied while running a hand through her white hair in a coquettish manner that was inappropriate for her age. That made everyone there look at her strangely. Even Veronica, initially very annoyed with Jeslyn, suddenly pulled herself close and held her arm in fear. Jeslyn didn't push her away and instead patted the ba
"I didn't expect her to be that crazy. I thought she had given up because she couldn't get in here. But it turns out she still has other ideas and managed to create a mess," said Chloe, sitting beside the gurney. Olivia shook her head slowly, still not expecting Arista's idea to break in wearing an older woman's clothes.The disguise was very successful. Everyone didn't even realize it. She really prepared everything well. And honestly, she didn't think that Arista would be so determined as to disguise herself and try to make a fake voice."What exactly is her purpose in coming here? It can't be to see my brother's condition, right?" Chloe turned around and looked at Jeslyn with confusion visible on her face.She really didn't know anything about the reason or anything about Felix's past. Apart from that, Felix didn't explain it to her, she also had no intention of asking. She thought it was just the past and didn't need to be discussed anymore. After all, they had already gone their
Secretary Jorell was startled and was about to open his voice to calm things down. However, one word after another continued to occur, making the meeting room instantly become crowded with words of approval.This was Secretary Jorell's first time, and now his head was spinning. He was running out of ideas to convince them that the project would run smoothly."Secretary Jorell, as the third highest shareholder, I want this project stopped," Mr. Atticus said firmly. "I don't want to risk letting the project run without a person in charge. Now it's better to focus on Chairman Felix's recovery.""Sir, that can't be-""But I think we should take a look," interrupted Mr. Wesley, the fifth highest shareholder. He looked at the people sitting there and then turned to Secretary Jorell. "Can you take me to the hospital? We should at least confirm her condition to make the right decision."Secretary Jorell's face changed as soon as he heard him say that. But a moment later, he flashed a faint sm
"No," Secretary Jorell replied nervously. But he tried to regain his composure and continued, "What could I be hiding? I was just surprised that you came out of the blue.""Really?" asked Clarita in confirmation, which was met with a firm nod from Secretary Jorell.And not wanting this to continue, he quickly looked away and asked, "Since when did you come? Weren't you unable to come here today because of an important client meeting?"As soon as this was brought up, Clarita's focus was diverted. She lowered her hand and walked towards the waiting chair. "Indeed. But everything went well, far beyond my expectations. That's why I decided to come."Secretary Jorell, who had secretly breathed a sigh of relief, nodded. He glanced at Felix and then caught up with Clarita and sat down beside her. "Your boutique is progressing well.""Yes. I'm very happy. It's all because of Felix's full support. If he hadn't approved of my desire to open my own business, I wouldn't be where I am today," said
"My brother is still on his way from out of town. I told him you guys wanted to meet, and he's coming straight home," said Jeslyn, who walked in front of Clarita and Secretary Jorell, leading them into the living room. "But you can rest easy. He has a very reliable driver for important things like this. It will probably be here soon.""There's no need to rush," said Clarita, sitting on the sofa next to Secretary Jorell. "Mr. Miles is very busy. It would be an honor for us to meet and speak with him in person.""What are you talking about?" Jeslyn chuckled softly. "It is my brother who is honored to speak with you."Suddenly, Clarita chuckled too."But, by the way, why did you want to see my brother? Is there something?" asked Jeslyn, looking at Clarita and Secretary Jorell in turn.But the man didn't seem to want to open his mouth. As evidenced by his gaze that had been fixed on the table with his mouth clamped shut."There is one thing we need Mr. Miles' help with," Clarita replied b
After all the planning and preparation, the much-anticipated meeting finally came.In her room, Clarita stood in front of the large mirror, staring at her neatly dressed reflection in blue cloth pants and a white blouse with lace on the chest. Her normally wavy hair in a striking color was now jet black and straight. Overall, her appearance was stunning, with a drastically changed aura.Unfortunately, on her beautiful face, there was no smile, and she looked pale. Even the makeup that was applied could not cover it up completely.Clarita took a deep breath and let it out, hoping her nervousness would disappear. However, it didn't and instead intensified. Cold sweat began to bead on her temples and neck, making her instantly want to cry."Why am I like this? It's okay, Clarita, calm down," Clarita muttered as she clutched her chest, constantly breathing in and out. "It's just a meeting, okay? There's no need to be nervous or scared. They won't eat you."Clarita nodded firmly and looked
Clarita, who had been calm, was instantly so nervous that her hands were sweating.However, at Secretary Jorell's side, the man still looked calm. "There is indeed a risk. But doesn't everything have a risk? This trip would not be fun without risks, even small ones.""But the risk in this project is very high. You can't play around with something like this," the other man said in a high voice that sounded arrogant.Secretary Jorell was still calm. He smiled and nodded slowly. "We know. Chairman Felix has reviewed it thoroughly and confirmed that the risk will not affect the project.""So? Right now, he's in the hospital. And according to the latest news, he's not making any progress. If this continues, Secretary Jorell, isn't that already a very high risk, even more than the project itself?" The other man replied but with much better speech than the previous men.Hence, Secretary Jorel, who had been on the verge of being annoyed, was instantly dispelled. His gaze turned to the man, an
