As Jenna exited the room, Jeffrey Jin approached her with an apologetic expression. "Jenna, I want to apologize again if I overstepped earlier. As a gesture of goodwill, I'd like to take you to our newly built lab. Would you be interested?"Jenna considered his offer for a moment before nodding. "Alright, let's go."Jeffrey led her to a sleek, black car parked discreetly outside. "For security reasons, I'll need you to ride with me," he explained. "The lab's location is confidential, so the windows are tinted to prevent any visual clues."As they settled into the car, Jenna noticed the opaque curtains that blocked any view of the outside world. She couldn't help but admire Jeffrey's meticulousness. The journey was smooth, and after some time, the car came to a gentle stop.Upon exiting, Jenna was taken aback by the unassuming exterior of the building before her. It looked like any other industrial facility, giving no hint of the advanced technology housed within.Inside, the atmospher

Jenna sat across from Jeffrey and Rex in the private dining room of the restaurant, her fingers drumming against the table as she locked eyes with Jeffrey. The air was thick with unspoken tension, but she wasted no time cutting through it."Tell me, Jeffrey," Jenna began, her tone cool and unwavering. "Is this meeting a setup?" She crossed her arms and leaned back. "I deliberately rejected every single appointment request from Rex, yet here I am, sitting at the same table with him. That doesn’t feel like a coincidence."Jeffrey exhaled, rubbing the back of his neck before offering her a sheepish smile. "I won’t lie to you, Jenna. I arranged this meeting knowing he would be here, but I had no ill intentions. I just… needed to make an exception this time."Jenna arched a brow, unimpressed. "And why is that?""Because, despite everything, this project is important for all of us," Jeffrey said sincerely. "I promise you, I remain neutral between the two of you. But as a gesture of goodwill

After realizing the situation, Rex picked up the pen but hesitated. His fingers hovered over the first page before he set the pen down and leaned back. "Mike, schedule an appointment with Jenna’s office. I need to speak with her."Mike stiffened slightly but nodded. "Right away, sir."A few moments later, Mike returned, his expression unreadable. "Sir, Ms. Jenna’s office declined your appointment. Her assistant said her schedule is full."Rex’s jaw tensed. "Full? She’s deliberately avoiding me."Mike remained silent, not daring to comment. Rex let out a slow breath, rubbing his face in frustration. He should’ve expected this. After everything he had done, Jenna had every reason to shut him out.---The Hidalgo's intrusion had been exactly as she expected—a power play. Chairman Hidalgo had attempted to humiliate her, questioning her identity and trying to tarnish her reputation.Too bad for him, she wasn’t the woman she used to be.As she sat in her chair, her phone buzzed. She glanced

Chairman Hidalgo stormed into the grand Hidalgo mansion, his fury unyielding even as the evening air cooled around him. The heavy oak doors slammed shut behind him, echoing through the expansive halls. Servants quickly scurried out of his way, recognizing the thunderous expression on his face. He had never been humiliated like this—dismissed so quickly, as if he were nothing.Elena followed closely behind, her arms crossed as she watched her grandfather seethe. “Grandfather, I told you she wouldn’t just hand it over.”“That woman!” Chairman Hidalgo growled, tossing his coat onto a nearby chair. “She has no respect, no gratitude. She was nothing before Rex, and now she dares to act superior?”Elena placed a hand on his arm, her voice calculated and persuasive. “Jenna has always been defiant, but we can still stop her. We must ensure she has no allies or means of support.” She paused, her eyes gleaming. “You should speak with Chairman Marcus Anderson.”Chairman Hidalgo frowned. “Marcus

Rex arrived just as his grandfather and sister stormed out of Jenna’s office, both wearing matching scowls of frustration. He had expected chaos the moment he received the frantic call from his secretary, informing him that Old Master Hidalgo and Elena had barged into Jenna’s office unannounced.Seeing them standing outside, seething, made his stomach churn with irritation. “Grandfather,” he started, his voice level but firm, “you had no right to barge in like that.”Old Master Hidalgo scoffed. “That woman has no respect for her elders! We tried to reason with her, but she refused to listen.”Rex turned to Elena, his gaze sharp. “And you,” he snapped, “I should’ve known you were behind this.”Elena folded her arms and rolled her eyes. “She’s the one making things difficult. We’re only trying to get back what belongs to us.”Rex exhaled sharply, his patience wearing thin. “Do you even realize how much of a mess you’ve made? That pipe is a family heirloom, not an item you can sell.”Ele

Jenna stepped into her office, her gaze sharp as she saw Old Master Hidalgo and Elena seated as if they owned the place. The arrogance in their demeanor was almost laughable. She knew why they were here, but she had no intention of making this easy for them."Rude! How can you come in without knocking first?" Old Master Hidalgo barked, his expression twisted in irritation.Jenna smirked, shutting the door behind her. "Chairman Hidalgo, I never knock when I come into my office."Elena let out a soft, derisive chuckle, crossing her legs with an air of superiority. "Jenna, let's not be difficult. You were once part of our family. We know how hard it must have been for you after leaving Rex."Jenna raised a brow. "Hard?" She folded her arms and leaned against her desk. "You mean walking away with my dignity intact rather than begging for scraps? I never asked for money during the divorce, and I certainly don't need or want it now."Old Master Hidalgo's face twitched in irritation. He was
