Jeremy, on the way to the hospital, called Mark. Since Mark knew of the associates of Feldstein, Jeremy asked him to handle who the Cooper family would go for help and block access to them."For this cause, his family might go to the State Attorney General. She was the one who got him the job. But I can stop her from making a move," Mark said, playing with the glass in his hand. "Do you want to crush the Cooper family?" Mark asked.With the connections Jeremy has, the Cooper family is nothing now that they know what they are hiding."...No," Jeremy said after thinking for a while. "My sister is married to that family."In the hospital..."Jerry... I..." Emma hugged him and Jeremy patted her head."Is his family here?" Jeremy asked. He wanted to know how they were reacting."Martha is pretty mad, Jerry... Howard is making calls to a lot of people. The cops are filing this case as an accident after Charlie gave his statements? How? Why did Charlie do this..? Three broken ribs for a slig
What is she doing here?Charlie leaned on the wall, bending one of his knees. "No," he said casually and pretended to scroll on his phone. His entire demeanor screamed – GO AWAY!!Emma noticed that he didn't want to converse with him, but she was in a good mood. Also, she can give her valuable company to this pitiful guy facing jail time.She is not heartless..."How is Ashley? I wanted to meet her for a long time but-""Foxy is busy," Charlie gave an unimpressed side glance at Emma.So she's not going to leave.He found that something was wrong with this woman, but he couldn't find out what it was. He grew up with four sisters- two elder and two younger sisters. They had a lot of girl friends come over to their home, and he grew up with a horde of women around him.Ugh! The atrocities he had to endure... If it is hard being the middle child, being the middle child with four sisters is... They traumatized him! And so, it won't be an exaggeration to say that he knows a lot about women.
Wyatt glared at Moses."Steak? If it is not cooked..." he spoke in a dismissive tone, "Don't step closer, he likes to hunt for meat. He's not a pet, unlike your snake... Well, on the other hand, he might be put off by your filthy scent, so...""So... you're feeling snarky as always...Off!" Moses wiped the imaginary sweat on his forehead and sat beside Wyatt. "I thought you too went soft like TJ just for a b*tch. So what if she died? You can have any woman-," he reached his arms to wrap around Wyatt's shoulder.But Moses gulped hearing a chiming noise and saw the tiger standing up and walking towards them."He doesn't like others getting close to me..." Wyatt said and pushed his arms away. "Stop pissing me off and tell me what you want. Otherwise, I'll give the command for Khan to rip you apart," Wyatt glared at Moses."Oh, what..." out of habit, Moses tried to get close to Wyatt, but seeing the tiger crouching, he distanced himself from Wyatt.He felt ashamed. TJ has his Siberian Husk
Jeremy was standing on the balcony when Jacques came out of Bobby's house. She looked down and his hands urged him to at least make a call, but he held himself back. He wondered if he'd be seen as bragging after what happened with Gerard.Would she prefer to visit him in the hospital? I don't want her to visit him though. What should I do if she asks me?He decided to hide from her and went inside. He went to his study and sat on the leather chair. Alexander Volkonsky called him earlier and told him to do a traditional wedding ceremony with a Priest.'I'm sending a tiara. Ask your wife to wear it. She must wear that tiara during the ceremony and make sure not to spread that picture everywhere... on second thought, never mind. It could be misunderstood as a copy of the Fleur de Lys Tiara. But she should get married to you in that tiara. And who's walking her down the aisle?'Alexander had many weird questions to ask and weirder suggestions to make. When he insisted that he won't listen
"What?" Jacques rolled her eyes at Scarlett, who climbed on top of her, inching towards her lips."What do you think?" Scarlett licked her lips. "Let's-""Come on, Scar!" Jacques placed her hand on Scarlett's face and pushed away."Why not? Let's try our affinity," Scarlett licked her palm and Jacques sighed.What a weird woman!"Are you really going to cheat on your husband and violate your friend?" Jacques pressed her lips and Scarlett plopped on the bed with a deep sigh."You're no fun, Jer...Can't you play along a bit?""Yeah, right. This is a very funny game. Not!" she glared at Scarlett."You've never tried it with women before?" Scarlett asked and Jacques wanted to run away.What's with this woman!"No, have you?" Jacques asked back. She expected to hear some of Scar's embellished adventures, but Scarlett went silent."Jer, what is the worst thing you've done in your life..? Other than that copying incident with Emma... And I don't just mean when you hurt others. You can includ
"I'm thinking of dying my hair..." She was still speaking and Jeremy was in no mood to listen."I want to kiss you..." he spoke in a low voice, covering his face with his hand. He thought she wouldn't hear him, but she stopped speaking right at that instant and his heart skipped a beat.Jacques did hear one bit.'...kiss you.'She wondered what he was about to say."What did you say?" she asked and saw him bowing his head, placing the cigar between his lips."Nothing... So, what are you cooking for breakfast?" he tried to change the topic."You said something about a kiss. What were you saying? I couldn't hear it," she probed."Nothing much. Leave, I'll have to-""Okay," Jacques shrugged and decided to leave it.She thought she might have missed something important, but what he said registered in her brain only sometime later. He was talking about kissing and she didn't want to delve into it further."How about pancakes for breakfast?" she turned to leave.Jeremy saw her being a littl
The night before the wedding...On the big bed, Jeremy rolled around since he was unable to sleep. After that day she happily chatted with him, Jacques stopped showing herself to him.It's not like she locked herself or something. She comes and goes out of the house every day. There will be a hot breakfast on the table when he gets there but she would be nowhere to be found.He missed her terribly.He tried to have a peek in the morning when she was taking care of her planter, but all he saw was the tip of her nose as she was wrapped in a bundle. He knew that as winter approached the temperature was dipping, but he didn't think it was that cold for her to dress in a sleeping bag.Her outfits... he is partly to be blamed for that. After that night he barged into her room and tried to attack her, she started dressing more... modestly. It's not like she walked around in her birthday suit before that (although he much preferred it), but she'd be wearing short shorts and dresses that showe
Could this be just a coincidence?Jacques shrugged it off. It's not like it is still the feudal period and certain symbols are owned only by certain people. Anyone can use any symbol unless they are copyrighted.Maybe I should check if the logo is copyrighted? I just found that particular logo hidden in grandpa's belongings and I asked uncle Pat to use it for our company. Uncle was not pleased at first, but he agreed anyway since I insisted.Hehe... can I belong to some family who secretly rules the underworld or am I the heir to a very rich conglomerate?That would be great! It would certainly be a very interesting "rags to riches" story.But no... that kind of acquired money never stays. Everyone knows what they say about those who won the lottery. Most of them lose it!Jacques, let's get rich by working hard! That way, you'll know how to handle your money.But wait...someone's trying to kill me...Could this be related to that?The sudden reveal of "friendship" between uncle Pat an
