"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.
Finally, Ellen, Sarah, and her family arrived at the door of Alvarez's office.Ellen stood at the door with her heart beating fast. She hoped her decision was the right one and would not arouse Steve's anger.Meanwhile, Sarah and her family waited curiously for the brown door to open.Knock! Knock! Knock!"Mr. Alvarez, an important guest wishes to see you.""Who is it?" A male voice sounded from behind the door."Ms. Sarah and her family.""Send them in."Ellen opened the door and let them in.Sarah frowned when she saw a man sitting with his back to them in his office chair. Nervously, she approached the owner of Alvarez Corp with a polite smile."Good afternoon, Mr. Alvarez." Sarah was suddenly awkward, even though she often met with influential people, including business people.The man turned around, leaving Sarah wide-eyed."Nice to meet you, Ms. Sarah." The man smiled kindly at her. His eyes were a sparkling emerald, his skin was tan, and sideburns adorned his chin.Sarah guesse
"Does Jacob know Alvarez? Are they close friends? Did they conspire to frame me?" Sarah clenched her fists tightly. Lately, her guard had been down. She knew the entertainment world was a world of tricks and deceit. "What should I do now? Because I don't know who my enemy is." Sarah stared intently ahead. "Alvarez, who are you? What do I want from you? Can you be trusted? *** Nighttime. Steve returned to Jacob's luxurious mansion. He found Sarah pensive by the pool. Steve approached his wife and sat down beside her. "Sarah, how's work going? Is it going well?" Sarah was surprised by Steve's presence. "Why do you come home so late?" "I received a punishment from Ms. Ellen because you and your family made a mess in Alvarez Corp's office." Steve smiled a little. Sarah lowered sadly. For so many times, she and her family had burdened Steve. "I'm sorry." 'But your suffering will soon be over.' Sarah added. "It doesn't matter. You don't have to think about it." Steve smiled
"I will make you regret your decision!" Steve looked at Sarah angrily. "My daughter won't regret dumping a trashy guy like you in her life!" Jennifer shouted. "We'll see about that, bitch! I'll make you and the people here suffer like in hell!" "I'll wait for your vengeance, Steve." Jacob chuckled mockingly. "You won't be able to do it!" "We'll prove it, damn it! I swear you'll lose everything!" Steve left Jacob's luxurious mansion. He called Jack and ordered him to pick him up immediately. Soon, a sports car arrived and drove him to a club owned by Alvarez Corp. "Come on, get off. Get me drunk." Steve ordered. "Okay." Realizing Steve was not okay, Jack complied. When Steve entered, all the servants and higher-ups greeted him with a respectful bow. "We've prepared a VVIP room for you, Mr. Alvarez." Justin, the club manager, said politely. Jack had booked the room earlier when he found out Steve was in a bad mood. He knew what Steve wanted before his boss did. Steve looked
