"Birth… his child?" Jessica stammered, her mouth speechless. Yet Betie was still smiling at her now."Yes, you and Alex have been married for three years but have no children; what a pity…."Betie's words once again pierced Jessica's heart like an arrow; that's right, they've been married for three years but have no children, not even a single close… Is this one of those? Why did he leave her for another girl?Thinking of this, Jessica couldn't help but feel sad.She also didn't want to stay here any longer, so she said:"Then you go to work; I'll go to the living room.""Yes, make yourself at home."Jessica went to the living room and sat back on the sofa. But sitting still and doing nothing made her restless like the contemporary sofa was a hot pan placed on the stove with the highest heat. Jessica finally couldn't take it anymore and stood up; she turned to look into the kitchen and saw Betie crouched over the oven, utterly oblivious to this direction. Jessica took the opportunity
Forest Corporation,Presidential Room,"Jowley, get someone to follow the mayor. Any action he takes will be reported to me."Alex sat in front of his desk, still staring at the plan for the BHD Discovery Mall."Yes, sir," Jowley replied, then left; at that moment, Isabel also came in from outside, accidentally overhearing the conversation between Alex and Jowley."What are you thinking of doing? What have you been saying to the mayor ever since?"Alex folded the plan with his hand, then raised his head to look at Isabel:"Say what's necessary; make him pay for what he's done.""What does that mean?" Isabel needs help understanding."Make him tell all of Kimberlys' plans, and make him our henchman, spy in the Kimberlys.""Is he trustworthy?" Isabel is still apprehensive about this; what if the mayor pretends to agree, then comes back and informs Kimberlys, becoming a double agent? That would be very detrimental to them.And, of course, Alex also thought of that case; he had never trus
"Kimberlys has no reason to help you, but I do." Those were the last words Alex said before seeing off the slum dwellers.Finished, he also prepares to go home from work because Jessica is at his house right now; he doesn't want her to know too much, so he will probably think of another solution for her.But as Alex was walking down the parking lot and towards his car, suddenly, from behind now, a voice called:"Alex!"This familiar voice, even if he didn't turn his head, he knew who it was, Isabel."Isabel, you haven't come home yet?"Isabel approached him, then said:"Are you going home now?""That's right. Is something wrong?""Well…' Isabel lowered her head, looking hesitant; she twirled her toes and swayed her bag, expressions of embarrassment and difficulty to say. Alex saw that and spoke softly."If you have something to say, say it; there's nothing to be afraid of between us.""It's not… It's just… um…” Isabel ran her hand through her hair, and finally, after a moment's hesita
Henry's side was noisy for a while but finally quiet again; he replied to Mrs. Jessica:"Did they get a divorce? And yet you don't know that?""That's right… I… I don't know…" Mrs. Andrew also didn't know when Jessica had hidden her divorce from Alex. And then the anger that was still smoldering in her heart until now once again flared up into a great fire. Was she supposed to be the one to know? She's Jessica's mother and Alex's mother-in-law, isn't she? No one in the house has the right to oppose her.But what's important now is not that, but what's important now is that Jessica and Alex are divorced.After thinking for a while, Henry said:"That's not the point; the point is that Alex still loves Jessica. You see, he risked everything to protect her. So there's still hope for this; first, find a way to call Jessica home. Then find a way to bring Alex home and get his money. Do you need my guidance?"Henry thinks Mrs. Andrew is as stupid as a pig, but she is the boss regarding how t
"What? Alex blocked Jessica?" Henry exclaimed, incredulous."Then use another number to call.""I've tried, still doesn't work."Henry raised his voice:"Then it's not like he's blocking anyone; he's already changed his number; Jessica will probably know his new number. Let's make her talk."Hanging up, Henry looked again at the person in front of him, the mayor.o0oMrs. Andrew, after hanging up the phone, immediately went to Jessica's room; she knocked on the door and immediately received a reply from Jessica from inside."Let me go; what do you want? Are you crazy!?""Tell me Alex's phone number, and I'll let you go."Mrs. Andrew thought this intimidation would work, but unexpectedly Jessica shouted at her:"Don't know. But why drag Alex into this?"Jessica began to feel the gravity of the matter. She stood up and headed for the door."What crazy thing do you want to do again? Please forgive everyone, okay? I beg you always. Please stop."Jessica's attitude changed from harsh to he
Very cruel indeed!"Henry…" Alex mumbled the name under his breath and memorized it, then replied to the mayor:"Okay, thank you for this message.""Yes, Yes." After saying that, the mayor quickly hung up the phone. And Alex returned to his desk, picked up the phone, and dialed number one, calling Jowley."Hello, come to my office immediately.""Yes."Less than five minutes later, a knock was on the door from outside Alex's office. He stated:"Come in."Jowley entered, stoutly walking in front of Alex and bowing:"Hello, President. Do you have something to entrust?"Alex interlaced his ears, his face becoming heavier than ever:"I just received information tonight that Kimberlys people will destroy and burn the building materials our corporation has left in the slums. And I need you to confirm this information for me."Hearing Alex say that Jowley's face became more severe than ever. He listened silently to Alex's instructions:"Now you and some others go to the slums to scout the sit
In the distance, where the fire exploded, a reasonably long distance away, it was a residential area, then suddenly burst into flames, accompanied by a highly pitiful scream."Damned!" Alex mumbled, then, without thinking much, rushed towards it. Initially, he had calculated so carefully but still needed to correct things."Chairperson!""Alex!"Jowley, Isabel, and the people in the slums cried out and wanted to chase him but were immediately stopped by the security staff of the Forest Corporation.Then a few bodyguards in protective gear and the fire brigade also rushed towards that house.Alex, Fast, and Furious ran towards the houses, crying and screaming still coming from there. When he arrived, he saw a miserable woman holding a baby or two kneeling outside and crying, crying, and shouting.Alex went there and hurriedly asked:"How many people are inside right now?""Two people, my mother-in-law, and my youngest child, he is only five years old." The woman spoke in sobs; the two
"Miss Potts wanted to come and thank you, but I told you that you are now recovering from illness, unable to receive many people, and she also needs to take care of her family, so I stopped her."Miss Potts that Tom spoke of must have been the woman whose house was on fire that Alex had helped save her mother-in-law and son."Um, how are the son and her mother?""They suffered from smoke inhalation and 20% burns and are now in the ICU because the baby's lungs are also greatly affected.""Do they have Health insurance?""Yes." Tom Holland nodded."Then I will pay for the rest of the medical expenses."Alex said. And when the person opposite him heard that, he was shocked."You want to pay them?""Yes, because the cause of this fire is us anyway."Alex thinks it's probably because his men needed to scout the situation more carefully, leaving out explosives and incendiaries. Or the Kimberlys Corporation did something he didn't know about. But in general, the cause of this incident was al
