Hearing Jack's words, Jessica instinctively clenched her fists. She knew, yes, she knew that what Jack said was true and aligned with her own thoughts. But Jessica never wanted to face this truth. She considered herself unworthy, yes, it was fine like that, but she didn't care in the first place."If you're the same, what right do you have to judge others?" Jessica replied firmly to Jack's remarks. She might not dare to confront the truth that she and Alex had drifted apart, but she wouldn't avoid Jack anymore. She had been doing that for many years and made Alex do the same.She would protect him. She didn't want to see anyone bullying him anymore. Alex could now stand up and confront everything she used to fear. She was ready to face herself and no longer evade any flaws in her heart.Jack couldn't contain his anger after hearing Jessica mock him this way. He tightly gripped his coat, trying to suppress his anger. Jack reminded himself to prioritize important matters and not let ang
"Please beg Henry? Two trembling hands tightly clasped together, Jessica's heart felt like it was being consumed by a raging storm, screaming. She worried about Alex, thousands of questions and doubts swirling in her mind. Jessica didn't know what to do anymore.If she were to find Henry now, she knew something would happen. Henry always wanted to possess her, he always wanted her, and Jessica didn't know if this was a trap.Seeing Jessica hesitate, Jack added fuel to the fire:"If Alex seems eager and confident, he must have high self-assurance. And maybe the reason is because of you. Because you want to marry Henry? Oh, it turns out Alex is also a romantic fool. He has been by your side for years, enduring humiliation and mistreatment to such an extent. And now, he wants to prove his manhood."Jack's words struck Jessica's innermost soul, causing her panic and shattering the calmness she had built. She raised her head, trembling, and reached out to grab Jack's shirt."What did you s
"Whose visit is it?" Henry asked, his voice filled with curiosity and speculation, but he immediately brushed off that thought."But that's not important. What's important is that I'm about to teach that guy, Alex, a lesson, to humiliate him and make him suffer.""But hold on, we need to make a deal before you do anything. Jessica is yours; Alex is mine."Jack's words hit Henry like a rock, leaving him dazed and shocked as if he had just woken up from a dream where everything around him, including Jack's words, felt unreal."What? Do you want Alex? Are you saying you've been... interested in him lately? Are you gay?"Before Henry could finish his sentence, Jack was taken aback, feeling like the sky was falling on him."What? No, I mean that Alex has value to me, and I need him."o0oMexico,After a few hours on the plane, Alex's private jet finally landed at Mexico City International Airport.Isabel and a few bodyguards escorted him to the hotel."What's the address that Henry provide
After speaking, the two of them entered the room. Alex looked around and stepped back, reaching out to turn off the lights."What are you doing?" Isabel asked."I'm checking our safety," Alex said, removing his phone from his chest pocket and opening an app with a red dot icon. This was the hidden camera detection app, even capable of detecting remote bombs installed in all devices connected to the app. In the current era, everything is smart-integrated. The phone was a virtual assistant, with everything conveniently integrated and secure.Of course, behind every corporation, there was always a technology team. Forest Corporation was no exception, and Alex was part of it. In any era, the technology always had an advantage and could defeat various weapons without much effort. Alex also had an IT support team behind him, helping him develop exclusive software and installing security firewalls for all electronic devices and information of the company, including his own.Alex raised his p
Kimablaiba is considered the longest-standing entertainment hub in Mexico, where the entire upper class, and even those who believe "burning money" is the epitome of trendiness, gather.This place disguises itself from the outside as a regular bar, but it is protected by various influential forces, making it utterly unnoticed by authorities and the police. No one dares to touch them. The owner of this place is also an extremely mysterious figure, never seen or approached by anyone.Kimablaiba is divided into two main areas. One is a resort area consisting of a chain of high-end restaurants, hotels, and spas, offering various premium services for both men and women. The other site is the entertainment zone, or in other words, a "money-burning furnace," with bustling casinos, wrestling arenas, horse racing tracks, golf courses, and even racing circuits as large as a small state.Security and confidentiality are highly organized here. To enter, one must become a registered member. To bec
The girl named Kimmy responded in Spanish with a cold and indifferent attitude. At that moment, Henry approached her, portraying a charming and romantic demeanor as he leaned against Kimmy's car."Nice to meet you. Meeting you makes me realize what true beauty is," Henry said, reaching out to touch Kimmy's cheek. However, she displayed a look of disgust and evaded his touch.But Henry had no shame and whistled. "Don't be like that. Here's the deal. Let's make a bet. If you win, I'll double the prize Amber offered you. But if I win, you'll belong to me."Kimmy didn't turn to look at Henry, but anyone around could sense her discomfort and disdain. Just then, someone suddenly grabbed Henry's wrist—it was Alex."Enough with the talk. Why don't you mention that you'll let her do whatever she wants with your 'little boy' if she wins?" Alex said, interrupting Henry's antics.Henry felt irritated by Alex's interference and tried to break free from his grip, but Alex's strength was overpowerin
Alex drove while looking at the control panel, observing the movements of both Henry and Kimmy. Suddenly, he was surprised that Kimmy was trying to prevent Henry from overtaking her. She kept blocking Henry's car and keeping him behind her.Alex found Kimmy's actions extremely confusing. It seemed like she was helping him, but he had no acquaintance. Why would she assist him instead of Henry?While Alex was pondering this, a loud screech suddenly echoed. Henry abruptly accelerated and then swerved, causing his car to spin around. The tail of his car collided with Kimmy's car, causing her to lose control and crash into the safety barrier. Taking advantage of the situation, Henry accelerated away.Alex assumed Kimmy was unharmed as he glanced at the rearview mirror and reassured himself. Then he pressed the accelerator and sped forward. Soon, Henry's car was tailgating him closely. Henry continuously manoeuvred his vehicle, repeatedly ramming into the front and rear of Alex's car, causi
Alex had just finished speaking when laughter echoed through the air. Henry appeared with his car, swerving and stopping right next to Alex.Henry got out of the car. Seeing this, Alex immediately approached and grabbed him by the collar."I've won, and you should fulfil your promise," Henry said, looking at Alex. He took off his glasses, giving Alex a mocking look."Why the rush? Stay calm. You still have to receive your prize, don't disappoint everyone," Henry taunted.Alex knew Henry was playing his tricks again, and he wouldn't play fair. Although he seemed to anticipate the situation, Alex couldn't help but feel a bit angry. He grabbed Henry's collar and pushed him forcefully onto the car behind."Let me tell you, if you don't deliver the training materials to me today, I will show you what it feels like to be disabled."Alex whispered into Henry's ear, his tone low and his voice thin and light, devoid of any emotional flavour. But even that was enough to make the person shiver.
