2024-10-29 19:42:56"It is a fake stone!"
This statement was like a thunderbolt to Alex. He couldn't believe it because his butler had purchased it. And the rest of people were surprised too and soon got different emotions on their faces.
"No, impossible. It's definety a true diamond."
Alex stammered, he couldn’t bear it anymore. It was a pure slander from Mrs Locke, who he always respected.
but Mrs Andrew, his mother-in-law, stepped forward and pulled him back before he explained, giving him a painful pinch.
"Mom, I'm sorry about this." Mrs. Andrew was afraid that he would make grandma even more annoyed.
She rebuked him, "Alex, who the hell do you think you are. How dare you retort to Mrs Locke? You can't even have doubts on a letter spoken from Mrs Locke."
Alex couldn't believe what was happening. It was pitch black around him. He felt Jack and everyone's mocking glances, anger from his mother-in-law, and disappointment from Jessica as well.
"Why? Why is that?" Inside his mind was ups and downs. He treated all the Lockes well but they distressed him all the time.
Diamond is real, but someone’s consciousness is not there. Mrs Locke slandered him for the sake of Jack’s reputation. She didn’t care about Alex at all, even intend to expel him.
"Get out of the house!" Jack, the bastard shouted loudly and the safeguards were waiting for Mrs Locke's command.
"Don't talk too much. Get away from here!" Jack said to him with sarcasm.
Alex didn't attempt to explain for himself because he knew it would make no sense.
Soon, standing beside Alex now was Jessica, she pleaded for Mrs Locke’s forgiveness. After all, Alex was her husband, they had been married for nearly 3 years.
Hearing Jessica's words, Alex lowered his head, even though he was very frustrated and angry. However, when his eyes met Jessica, he felt guilty.
"Grandma, please forgive him, he always did foolish things. But he is still the one grandpa married me to. " Jessica pleaded.
In return for this were the mocking smiles of the others and the sharp look in Mrs. Andrew's eyes.
There was silence in the hall until Mrs. Locke spoke up:
"You should resign from the company to redeem for your husband."
Alex lifed her head in a rush and stared at Mrs Locke like a lion.
"Ye......s." Jessica's hands tightened on the hem of her skirt, her heart filled with unwillingness.
She didn't expect Alex to show off tonight and it should be her to buy the birthday present, but she was busy at that time.
Exactly, Jessica hoped to pull through this birthday party steadily while Alex wanted to help her to be valued more by Mrs Locke. What a dramatic thing!
"But, I have another opportunity for you. Because you have worked for the company very well in the past several years." Mrs Locke supplemented.
"Opportunity?" Jessica jerked her head up, her bright eyes looking at Mrs. Locke.
"That's right. You must successfully cooperate with the largest real estate company in this city, the Forest Group.
If you fail, you will return the stake and be kicked out of the house with your parents, and your stupid husband as well."
Jessica's hands are clenched. Even if she needed to calm down to make a decision for the future quickly, she still hesitated…
Hearing Mrs Locke had mentioned the Forest Group, Alex thought it was his chance to help Jessica out. He was guilty of causing such troubles for her.
Alex spoke his words to every one clearly and firmly, which made Jessica and her mum annoyed then.
" Y-E-S, WE WILL TAKE IT."
The atmosphere was in silence, they burst into laughter. Mrs Andrew and Jessica was stunned by those words.
Mrs Locke stared at her granddaughter, waiting for her response.
Staring at her grandma's sharp-sighted eyes, Jessica sighed and said:
"I will accept your request. If I fail, I will leave Lockes and the company; but if I succeed, you must cancel all the punishments on us, and Jack should also sincerely apologize to me."
In general, this matter to Mrs Locke was nothing but the truth, so she immediately agreed.
Then the party went on as if nothing had happened......
Then in Jessica’s House
The three got back home at midnight. It was the darkest day for them. As Mrs Andrew sat on the sofa, her lips were still working, which had lasted for a long time. Cursing words jumped out:
"It's all because of that parasite. Alex, a trashy man accustomed to a life of hypocrisy, despicable and cheap. Presenting a fake diamond and making decisions for you are absolute revenge on us. Idiot, fool…."
Mrs. Andrew was still talking a blue streak, and her mouth was like a gun muzzle that was constantly firing bullets at Jessica.
Jessica did not understand why God put her in this situation. She lived harder after getting married to Alex. Tears dropped from her eyes.
Alex had never seen her crying, he wanted to relieve her and said:
"You can make it, about the cooperation! I trust you".
"Pa…"
Jessica gave him a slap and said," get out of my house."
Alex's face was tilted to the side, his cheeks were numb to the point of loss of feeling, and his mind was also blank.
It wasn't until a moment later that the numbing sensation in his cheeks awakened his mind.
He turned and looked at Jessica. She didn't believe him, which made him highly desperate. He wanted to explain to her that the diamond was real, but by the look in her bloodshot eyes, he knew there was no point in what he said now.
Thinking of the divorce file, Alex went outside alone, leaving them at home.
It's raining outside that he got wet in seconds.He was so helpless, now he had nowhere to go.
And finally, he thought of inheriting the family. He thought of Isabel, his childhood friend and the vice president of Forest Group.
He took the phone, hesitated for a long time, finally decided to call her.

Babel Hotel, which looks like a tower, extremely high and its top covered by the clouds, is regarded as the tallest building in the city and possessed by the Forest Group. As Alex entered the hotel, before he could do anything, a voice suddenly sounded: "Stop!" His footsteps stood still, he turned his head towards the source of the voice, seeing that it was a man in a hotel uniform. He walked over and stopped in front of Alex. The other man cast an appreciative and judgmental gaze from above and below him. Then say: "Who are you? What are you here? This is not a place to sell goods, beggars or multi-level." Hearing those words, Alex frowned, then lowered his head, looking back at his body. He was wearing a T-shirt, a thin shirt over it, jeans underneath and a pair of sandals on his feet. Because Jessica dragged him out of the house just now, he could not change his slippers, still wearing slippers. Her clothes were also stained from the fall in front of Jessica's house. So is th

It is a hot sunny day. The sun was overhead like a forty-degree fireplace sending heat to the ground below. Yet Jessica was standing under that weather waiting for the manager of Forest Group, Jascop. The security guards kept her out of the lobby, and they told her it was a new rule that the vice president had set up. Jessica raised her hand to wipe the sweat, and the sun's heat scorched her skin. Just when Jessica thought she couldn't wait any longer, a voice suddenly sounded behind her. "Jessica, it's you. What are you doing here?" A sharp female voice sounded. Jessica turned her head and saw a sexy girl with a fiery body walking towards her. She tossed her hair, curly blond hair swaying with every step she took. She puffed out her chest, haughtily walking over to Jessica. "What a coincidence, Jessica." Seeing her approaching, Jessica felt disgusted. It's Moona, who always compete with her in many aspects: outlook, education, boyfriend, etc., also came here today for the coope

Then the two entered the company and went to Isabel's office. It was a room on the top floor, very spacious and luxurious. Jessica and Isabel sat across from each other. They are all beautiful and talented girls, admired by many people. But Jessica looks more individual than Isabel. She wears a pair of trousers, high heels, and a blazer. Looks maturer and more elegant. Jessica's hair is also short, in contrast to Isabel's long hair. Jessica's face is light makeup, less fussy than Isabel's. Isabel is a girl who pursues a glamorous style. It all reflects that, from her body shape to the clothes she wears. She wears an A-line skirt and a white shirt that is not the usual style but is stylized, with a bow at the neck and elastic at the wrist. Jessica sat down, and she prepared what she was going to say. But at this moment, Isabel suddenly spoke: "We can sign a contract." "What?" Jessica was dumbfounded; she didn't understand what Isabel said until she handed over a thick set of contr

"Jack, you have to be brave and responsible as a man. You apologize to Jessica.""Grandma…" Jack wanted to continue arguing, but Mrs. Locke's cold, sharp gaze stopped the words that reached his throat. As a member of this family, Jack also has the most contact with Mrs. Locke, so he understands her personality better than anyone. Knowing that he could not do anything else, he had to stand up and bow his head to admit his mistake. "Sorry, Jessica. I'm sorry for saying bad things about you and your husband." Receiving Jack's apology, Jessica felt extremely satisfied, she turned to Mrs. Locke and said: "Next time, I will try harder to bring success to the company." "YES. You do very well. I look forward to your future achievements." Mrs. Locke gave Jessica a rare smile. Her face also relaxed with an expression of satisfaction. This made Jack's blood boil, and in his anger, he shouted: "Before worrying about work, you should take care of things at home first. Alex had an affair!" W

How sexy she is. More importantly, she is a powerful woman. "I'll marry her！" Jack couldn't help thinking, exposing a dirty expression.His father said to Isabel that the following cooperaion will be taken over by them rather than Jessica in the future. Isabel felt surprised that Jessica had failed in family struggles, but she dispised Jack's obscene expression. "Why didn't Jessica come today?" She asked severely. Jack then replied,"Jessica is sick, so I'll take over her position until she gets better." As soon as Jack finished speaking, Isabel stood up directly without saying more than two words. "I will just cooperate with her and wait until she recovers." After saying that, Isabel stood up and intended to leave the office. They are extremely surprised."We have signed the contract, will y

Drowning in her depression, Jessica locked herself in the room. She lay on the bed and stared at the ceiling, and fell asleep quickly. It was when her phone rang that she woke up.Jessica vaguely brought the phone screen to her eyes, the loud sound and the bright light making her want to throw the phone away immediately. But then the name displayed on the phone screen immediately woke her up. Jack?Jack? What did he call her for? To mock or tease her? To show off his achievements? It made Jessica annoyed while thinking about it. Everything was originally hers, but taken over by that bastard.

Now this question is a tailor's cushion on her heart.She rushed into her room and picked up the phone, calling Alex. But the only response was the familiar voice of "cannot be connected".She didn't understand why it was unavailable.

However, she also regreted to slap him that night. She wanted to find him and make all things clear.Currently unable to contact him, Jessica thought where could he go.

Her family had left; they were all exhausted after days of tense waiting at the hospital. That gave him the opportunity to have some private time with Isabel. He approached her bedside, gently caressing her smooth cheek, and his eyes became moist.It was uncertain whether it was because the act of pretending to be a family for these days was too real or if it was the love that had been quietly growing over the years, but Alex felt his emotions surging intensely. It seemed like within his heart, emotions were erupting in waves, encompassing deep longing and painful sorrow. If it weren’t for him, she wouldn’t be here, and the p

Chapter 146: In the end, everyone walked out into the light.
Rihana quickly untied Alex, ignoring Loki’s suffering nearby. Alex thanked her and grabbed a gun that was out of ammunition, directing a disdainful look at Loki. He approached and stomped on Loki’s bleeding wound, as an act of vengeance for what had just happened. Alex wasn’t one to hold back or forgive easily.“Tend to his wound. Don’t let him die,” Alex ordered, looking sternly at Rihana. Under Alex’s firm gaze, Rihana went closer to Loki, ignoring his threats and insults. She efficiently tore a piece of cloth from her own clothing, carefully covering the wound to stop the bleeding. Loki’s face turned even paler, and he could do nothing but mumble in pain.Meanwhile, the sound of approaching police sirens grew louder. Loki looked at Alex with suspicion. He couldn’t find his phone; it was no longer with him. He wondered how the police had been called. Were they in on this from the beginning? When had things spiraled so out of control?Failing to properly investigate Alex was a grave

Loki doesn’t want to say much to this guy. He didn’t care about the reason anymore. All that he had investigated was enough to send this guy back to hell.Loki is sure that even if he pulled out a gun and blew his brains out, this guy wouldn’t say a word.But thinking that in the future the chairman might lose a lot of information because of this, Loki had to patiently ask a few more questions.“What is your real name? Don’t cross me. I have to spend so much time and effort because of you, be a little more reasonable, otherwise I will explode your brains.”“Even if I say it, you still can’t determine what is the truth, right? If I tell the truth, will you let me go?”“Okay, if it’s important, you’ll get out of here alive.”Alex almost burst out laughing for a moment. With that look in his eyes that only has murderous intent, who else is he trying to fool? Let him live. He is not a three-year-old child.Alex kept spinning his brain, thinking about how to get out of this situation. It w

“Could you please total these items?”In the morning, at a convenience store, Alex was waving his hand to pay for some essential items, all of them ingredients for baking. He wanted to bring them home for little Cherry because she had a baking competition coming up at school, and he wanted her to practice at home.While waiting to pay, a few young men behind him were engaged in a heated discussion. He typically wouldn’t have paid much attention to the conversation of strangers, but he overheard the name Locke. Recently, they had been a hot topic of discussion everywhere. Alex waited for the cashier to prepare his bill while quietly eavesdropping.“Oh my God, three more people died at the funeral yesterday. This family is in chaos.”“Have you read those conspiracy theories and rumors online? They all claim that some underground power is involved. It seems this family has offended some terrifying figure, so they’ll be wiped out eventually.”“Say what you will, but the police still haven

Chapter 143: No one could save them now.
The night had fallen, and the members of the Locke family had quietly returned. Only Jack’s parents remained at the funeral home, standing vigil by their son’s casket. Mr. Andrew and Jessica had left early, and by the end of the day, Mr. Andrew finally felt a sense of relief. He didn’t know where his wife was, but her absence was the best outcome for all.Because of the recent pressures, Jack’s father was also exhausted from the events. He wanted to temporarily escape the stifling atmosphere of this place. However, he was reluctant to move too far, fearing that his wife might faint again. Mr. Andrew stepped out to the back of the funeral home, walking along a dark row of trees. It was past 11 o’clock, and he saw no one in this chilly, desolate forest.The unusually quiet woods made his already troubled mind even more restless. This was a resting place for many departed souls, and every rustling sound made Mr. Andrew uneasy.A funeral for two. Was this the punishment meant for the Lock

Henry’s burning gaze swept over Jessica, like a hunter locking onto his prey within shooting range. It was a look that combined both passion and possessiveness, making Jessica unable to shake off the feeling that this man was truly disturbed.Because disgust stemmed from instinct, she retreated heavily from the funeral room of this grandfather and grandson’s household. She felt that what she had told Jack’s mother earlier was indeed accurate.The complete house reeked of an unsettling odor.That room, in particular, had seen countless distant relatives of the family mocking her, each taking their turn to degrade each other for entertainment, only to now act meek and change their attitudes, presenting their most humble appearances to make amends for the past wrongdoings.Outwardly, everyone’s demeanor was, of course, pleasant. Jessica had lived long enough to know who was sincere among those in the upper class. She was wary of the apparent remorse and repentance, as it all reeked stron
