Since it was lunch break, only a receptionist waited in the lobby. She stood and smiled at Emily. “Miss Brooke, it’s great to see you again. Want to see Mr. Jefferson?”
Emily nodded and smiled a little. “Yes, but don’t tell him. I want to surprise him again.”
“Ah, Miss Brooke. You are so romantic. Mr. Jefferson is lucky to have you.”
As Emily didn’t want to prolong the conversation, she only smiled and walked to the elevator. Opening the door of Jacob’s office, she saw Jacob and Viona inside. He was signing some papers, but then Viona se

Arturo already had a plan to appoint Jacob as his successor.”The man whistled to hear that. “Jacob, huh? Why didn’t he choose his son? What is his name?”“Al?” Viona said.“Right!” He snapped his fingers. “Al Ames. I don’t get the old man’s mind.”“Well, Jacob is like a second son to him. Besides, you must see three of them toget

It was seven p.m. after the dinner when she had an idea to go to his apartment.Since the staff in her parents’ house was busy preparing for her wedding day tomorrow, she knew it would be difficult to go out.

They headed back to the house of Emily’s parents. When they arrived there, she returned the helmet.“Are you okay?” Harry asked. Knowing Emily too well, he was worried about her condition.Emily shook her head, but she forced a small smile. “Thank you for your help, Harry.

You are a good girl, and you deserve happiness.”Gulping as she was about to cry again, Emily nodded. “Thank you.&rdq

She looked gorgeous in her wedding dress.“You look lovely, sweetheart.” Elsa hugged Emily and shed her tears. “I can’t believe it. Finally, it’s the day. Your dad must give your hand to Jacob today.

She should already be here.”Taking a deep breath as she already got used to seeing her husband’s impatience, Elsa took her phone. “I’ll check on her.” When she heard the notification that her daughter’s phone was inactive, she called the EO’s staff. “Where is my daughter now?”“Ma’am? She should be on the way to the church. I’ll wait at the church gate to see if she’s coming.”

I heard you are on the list of the ten most eligible bachelors. You won’t have any trouble finding a woman who wants to be your wife.”“No, Aunty.” Jacob shook his head. “Emily is different.”“Oh?” The woman raised her eyebrow. “How?”“She’s a good woman, and sh

He approached the guards.When Jacob nodded at them, both of the guards bowed their heads a little. “Sir?”“Okay, you two can leave now.”“Yes, sir!” Both of them immediately left.

Emily was on the Montgomery’s Express train. It wasn’t too crowded, so she could have a wide space to sit. She was torn if she needed to turn on her phone to call or text her mother. But then, doing so might cause her mother to ask her to return.After considering her options for a while, she knew she couldn’t do it. Pauline already helped her, and she didn’t go this far to return. So, keeping turning off her phone was the best option, at least until she could reach another town and get a place to stay.But then, the guilt was heavy within her mind.

Emily stared at Jacob and the ring. She bit her lower lip because she didn’t know what to say.Jacob took a deep breath because he wasn’t ready to accept a refusal. Then he forced a smile. “It’s okay if you don’t want to marry me now. Maybe you want to enjoy your time alone first.”But then Emily shook her head. “No.” She held both of his hands. “I want to make you the happiest man, Jacob. So, it’s a yes.”Jacob immediately stood and put the ring on her finger. Then he kissed her lips and hugged her tightly.He laughed and shook his head. “I thought you would say no.

It was an unforgivable act because Stanley’s betrayal cost Art’s life.Jacob’s eyes were chilly when he gazed at Stanley. “You told us earlier that Gold Cleaner is your family and will stay like that.
