The Wrong Night with Mr. Right Chapter 79 Frosty Reunion
Alessia’s heart skipped a beat at the mention of Mrs Scott—Connie Jansen.It had been six long years since she last saw her older sister, and the memories that flooded back were far from pleasant—Connie ending up in bed with Brayden, Connie getting engaged with Brayden, Connie rushing her to the hospital when Alessia’s water broke, and Connie standing by her bedside when Alessia woke up, groggy and in pain.Alessia could never forget how she felt as she listened to a tearful Connie tell her that she’d given birth to twins but unfortunately, one of them was stillborn.That was the day her life was turned upside down.She thought she had put it behind her, that six years were enough time to heal most wounds.But she realised no amount of time could heal the pain of losing a child.And Connie’s name would always be associated with the most painful period of her life.Logan’s eyes narrowed as he watched Alessia’s face pale visibly.‘What’s wrong?’ he asked. ‘Are you feeling unwell?’Aless
The Wrong Night with Mr. Right Chapter 80 Unfortunate Misunderstanding
‘I didn’t know you had a sister,’ Logan said.‘Two, actually,’ Connie said. ‘Alessia’s the second oldest. I’m the eldest, and we have a younger sister too.’The mention of Alessia seemed to bring a mix of emotions to Connie’s face, and Logan sensed that there was more to the story than she was letting on.‘You mentioned Alessia left Veridian about six years ago,’ Logan probed further. ‘You haven’t seen her or had any contact with her since then?’Connie looked away, a hint of sadness crossing her features. ‘No, I haven’t seen her in six years,’ she admitted. ‘After some… unfortunate misunderstanding, she left home and the city. I tried to find her—I hired six different private investigators, but it was like she vanished without a trace.’‘It must have been tough for you.’Connie nodded. ‘It was. Especially because I had to take over as the CEO of Redwood Group when my father passed away. I was just twenty-two, still in college, and inexperienced. Saving the company took all my energy,
The Wrong Night with Mr. Right Chapter 81 Take the Bet
The two of them sat in silence for a while longer.Then Logan tapped his Breitling. ‘You’ve been taking a break of almost half an hour.’Alessia rose to her feet. ‘Fine, let’s go.’‘Why didn’t you ask?’ she questioned him once they returned to the empty office.She was relieved to find Connie gone.‘About what?’ Logan replied, seeming nonchalant.Alessia hesitated before mentioning her sister. ‘About Connie. About what happened between us. You might have noticed we are not exactly on the best of terms.’‘It was hard not to notice. But I don’t like to pry into other people’s private business.’‘Says the man who keeps meddling in my life,’ Alessia mumbled under her breath.‘What did you say?’‘Nothing.’‘Connie Scott, or should I say, Connie Jansen, asked me to relay the message that she’d be here to pick you up after work.’Alessia slumped into her chair. ‘I knew she wouldn’t give up so easily.’‘You don’t want to see her?’‘That’s the last thing I want to do.’Logan summoned Terence i
The Wrong Night with Mr. Right Chapter 82 Tentative Agreement
Logan sneered. ‘The company has gone downhill for a reason. Wilde Enterprises is doing the lion’s share of the work here. We’ve got everything in place—building permits, financing, the whole package. Redwood, on the other hand, is only in charge of the construction.’‘It can’t be easy work, building a mall of this size,’ Alessia said. ‘The sheer scale of the mall is a daunting task, not to mention the challenges in sourcing materials and managing the timeline.’‘Which is the only reason I offered them twenty-five per cent,’ Logan said. ‘If it were an easy construction job, I could have simply hired another company instead of offering a stake in the business. But now both Brayden and Connie are coming to me, asking for a bigger stake without offering to do any more work.’Alessia nodded. ‘What you say makes sense.’‘It’s equivalent to begging,’ Logan remarked, his tone biting. ‘They fail to see that I could easily replace the construction company, but Redwood can’t afford to find anoth
The Wrong Night with Mr. Right Chapter 83 The Jansen Sisters
Terence couldn’t help but comment, ‘I didn’t know Miss Jansen and Mrs Scott were sisters. Forgive me for saying that, but you two don’t appear to share a lot of similarities.’Alessia smiled. ‘A lot of people have said that.’In fact, all three of the Jansen sisters look different: Connie was statuesque and voluptuous; Alessia was a head shorter and lithe; Veronica, the youngest, was more adorable than beautiful and no matter how much she ate, she could never seem to put on weight.The Bentley pulled up outside the BuzzBeat office.Logan turned to Alessia. ‘I look forward to tomorrow morning.’Alessia countered, ‘And I look forward to lunch.’Logan teased, ‘Are you so sure you won’t lose?’Alessia checked the time on her phone and confidently retorted, ‘It’s now six forty pm. Our bet is till midnight, only a little over five hours to go to prove I’m right.’In the chief editor’s office, Alessia discussed her interview notes with Wilda Hicks, who complimented her on a job well done and
The Wrong Night with Mr. Right Chapter 84 Old Wounds
Connie, struggling to control her rising anger, tried to appeal to their familial bond. ‘I’m your sister, Alessia, and we haven’t seen each other for six years. Aren’t you going to at least invite me in?’‘I would have preferred it if we don’t see each other for the next six decades.’Connie made an awkward attempt to change the subject. ‘I was so surprised to see you in Mr Wilde’s office today. Congratulations, by the way, on getting hired by Wilde Enterprises.’But her true intentions soon became clear as she probed, ‘How did you get the job? Are you Mr Wilde’s secretary?’Alessia glanced over Connie’s shoulders and noticed the door to apartment 604 was cracked open.Terri McCall, the nosy neighbour, must be eavesdropping again.Alessia moved past Connie and said abruptly, ‘Come with me.’Without waiting for a response, she strode towards the elevator.Connie caught up with her, reluctantly following.They rode the lift down in tense silence, then got out of the lobby until Alessia
The Wrong Night with Mr. Right Chapter 85 Turn a Deaf Ear
‘Of course not!’ Connie feigned a wounded look. ‘I’m trying to show you how sorry I am.’‘By turning up at my doorstep uninvited?’ Alessia shook her head. ‘You and Brayden, the two of you are made for each other. Both of you have perfected the art of turning a deaf ear when you don’t like what you are hearing.’‘I just thought I could maybe take you out for a meal. We can talk, and—’‘See?’ Alessia wagged a finger. ‘You just did it again. I asked you to leave, not once, not twice, but three d*mn times, but it’s like talking to a wall. You just plough ahead and stick to your script.’Connie’s mask of serenity showed a slight crack as her nostrils flared and her jaw clenched.‘Let me guess,’ Alessia continued. ‘You know I won’t forgive you, but you’ve made it clear you won’t give up easily either. This means the only option left for me, if I don’t want to be harassed by you and your husband, is to leave Veridian.’‘No, I said I don’t want you to leave,’ Connie said hastily. ‘I’m glad yo
The Wrong Night with Mr. Right Chapter 86 Her Best Decisions
Alessia blew out a breath. ‘Finally, you got to the point. I was afraid you were going to keep beating around the bushes all night. Mr Wilde and your precious project—that’s why you came to see me, right?’‘I admit, it’s one of the reasons.’ Connie continued, unabashed, ‘I also wanted to see you and Veronica and ask you to come back to live with me and Brayden.’Alessia couldn’t help but scoff at the absurdity of the request. ‘Come back and live with you and Brayden? Are you serious? After everything that’s happened?’Connie sounded earnest. ‘I want us to be a family again, Alessia. I know I made mistakes, but I want to make things right.’‘Let me get this straight: you want me to ask Logan to help save your failing company and give you a higher stake in the joint project, all in exchange for the money you owe Veronica and an invitation to come back and live with you?’‘It’s not a trade. I know it sounds bad when you put it that way, but I just want what’s best for all of us.’‘I won’
