"I've decided not to think of you as my mother anymore. I can't bear all the pressure from you and Robert anymore. If Jacob kicks you out later, never return to me. Goodbye." Sarah smiled briefly before walking out of the room, crying bitterly. "Shit! She's so stubborn! How do I get Sarah to leave Steve?" Jennifer walked back and forth in a panic while biting her nails. She thought hard about finding a way, but she always failed. Jacob suddenly walked in without knocking first. "You look failed again, Mrs. Jennifer. You already know the consequences, don't you?" He said coldly. His eyes radiated disappointment. "That means you have no more reason to stay in my mansion and enjoy my money." "Please give me one more chance, Jacob. I promise to get Sarah to divorce Steve and marry you soon!" Jennifer pleaded as she grasped the man's hand, but he brushed her off. "I hate waiting!" "Please, Jacob." Jennifer cried as she hugged the man's tan legs. "Give me one more chance." Jacob grunte
Robert and Jennifer looked at Steve disdainfully."Why don't you answer? Are you scared, Steve?" Robert mocked."You're a loser if you don't take Jacob's bet! Don't you believe in miracles?" Jennifer provoked. If Steve agrees, his plan to match Sarah and Jacob will be more accessible. Her status will also change, as she will become the mother-in-law of a conglomerate man.Steve nodded quickly. "Okay. But if you lose, you must stop bothering me and my wife.""Alright." For Jacob, fighting a little bug like Steve was easy. Moreover, the stakes were very tempting. He would get his ex-girlfriend back.After serving them, Steve went to the kitchen and then called someone. "Jack, you have an appointment with the owner of Stellar Entertainment at noon.""Okay."***Steve arrived at the fancy restaurant in Los Angeles, where famous Hollywood artists and singers gather to discuss work or have fun."Stop. You may not enter until you present your membership card." Two burly men intercepted him a
"Ellen?""Mr. Alvarez?" Ellen smiled happily. "I didn't expect you to be the investor in my father's company.""Do you know each other?" Roxy smiled excitedly. Steve and Ellen nodded."What a coincidence!" Roxy exclaimed happily."I had no idea you were Mr. Roxy's daughter. The world is too small." Steve smiled charmingly. "That means you're the future wife of this arrogant man?"Ellen glanced at her lover, then nodded. "You are right. Do you have a problem with him, Mr. Alvarez?""You know him too, my dear?""John kicked me out earlier because my appearance was so simple.""Really?" Ellen shocked. "How dare you kick out my boss, John." She scolded him elegantly.John was aghasted. "What?! Your boss?" He was speechless. How could Steve conquer one of the wealthiest men in Los Angeles? He was not only an investor but also his fiancée's boss.'Who exactly is Steve? Where did he get so much money from? Isn't he just an orphan whose origins are unclear?'"Since did you change your name t
"I didn't expect you to have still the courage to sit with us after you were humiliated by your husband." Emmy chuckled sarcastically."That's what comes of choosing the wrong husband," Jenny added."You're right, Mom," Jacob added.Sarah didn't respond, too lazy to argue.Jacob was satisfied to see no smile on Sarah's face. She and Steve must have quarreled in the bedroom.Robert and Jennifer couldn't protest Jacob to defend their daughter. They didn't want to be evicted and lose the privilege of living in the mansion.The atmosphere in the dining room was so quiet as they focused on enjoying their dinner.Steve came in and brought Sarah a dessert, strawberry pudding. "I've made it for you. I'm sure you'll like it." He hoped it would ease Sarah's irritation with him.Steve bought the pudding from a famous bakery in Los Angeles."Thank you," Sarah replied flatly, not even looking at Steve. She was very disappointed with her husband's decision to make her a gamble."You'rw so pathetic,
Jacob returned to the mansion feeling upset. 'Shit! I failed to persuade Mr. Alvarez because Ellen already knew my reason. But how did she find out? Did she hire a spy to watch me all this time?" Jacob almost went crazy thinking about that. He shook his head quickly. "That's not important right now. Now, I must find a way to overturn Mr. Alvarez's decision. I can't fail to get Sarah back!" "I'm not willing to be defeated by a poor man like Steve." He was vengeful that Steve had managed to snatch Sarah away from him. Jacob didn't understand his boss's way of thinking at all. Did he never watch the news, so he didn't know about Sarah's scandal? Because only a fool would give up millions of dollars for a loss. Had Mr. Alvarez known Sarah before, or had they dated? It's no secret that many actresses are willing to sell their bodies for promotions or intangible wealth. Jacob shook his head quickly. "There is no way Mr. Alvarez knows a lowly actress like Sarah. Let alone sleep with
Sarah was looking at herself in the mirror of the Entertainment Stellar bathroom to check her appearance. Soon, she had to do some photo shoots for the cover of her latest movie, so she had to make sure her appearance was perfect. "I didn't expect my dream to come true." A cheerful smile printed on her beautiful face. Krek! Sarah turned her head towards the door as someone entered the bathroom. "Jacob?" The woman was wide-eyed. "What are you doing in the women's bathroom?! Do you want to peek at the women here?!" Jacob chuckled as he walked over to Sarah. "You're right. I want to peek at the woman I love." "Who do you mean?" Sarah said curtly. She hated flirty married men. "I'm sure you know because you're the only woman here, darling." "Get away from me!" Sarah yelled angrily as she stepped back. Jacob's gaze looked so passionate. Unfortunately, she was cornered when her back hit the wall, and there was no way to run. "What are you doing?! I'll scream if you insolence me!"
"Why do you look so happy today, Jacob?" Jenny comes to Jacob in his office at Jatson Corp. Jacob's smile instantly vanished. Lately, his mother-in-law had been visiting his office and disturbing his peace. "It's none of your business, old lady. You'd better leave before I get the security guard to kick you out." Jacob went back to work and typed on his laptop "I won't leave until you grant my request." Jenny sat in front of Jacob. "Are you deaf? I've said it many times. I won't comply because you have no talent." "You shouldn't underestimate me, Jacob. I graduated from a top university." Jenny thrust a red folder in front of Jacob. "You can see it." Jacob snorted in annoyance, then forced himself to read it. He was surprised by the grades printed on the diploma. "How was it?" Jenny asked confidently. "Fine. I agree to appoint you as the CEO of Jatson Corp." Jenny smiled happily. "Thank you." "Excuse me, Mr. Jacob." Jenny was surprised when a handsome young man entered the
Jonah, the receptionist, came back to Peter and Jennifer. "Ms. Ellen is waiting for you in her room. Let me take you there." Jennifer and Peter smiled happily. They had expected their plan to work. They followed the woman named Jonah to the 49th floor. Along the corridor, there were pictures of the top brass of Alvarez Corp heading toward Ellen's office. "You're going to be one of them, Peter." Jennifer smiled proudly. Arriving at the door, Jennifer and Peter passed Steve, who was mopping. "Look at that. We did it, Steve. Now Mrs. Ellen is calling us." Jennifer said haughtily. Steve pretended to smile happily. "I'm glad to hear that. I hope you get the CEO position, Peter." "Without your prayers, I could have gotten it, you idiot!" "I'll tell Mrs. Ellen to fire you. So be prepared for bad luck!" Peter laughed wickedly. Jonah was dumbfounded that the two strangers dared to insult the owner of Alvarez Corp. Who exactly were they? Did they not know Steve Alvarez? "Sorry, Mrs.
