Imogen walked into the kitchen and started preparing the vegetables. "Dad, let me do it. You can rest for a while.""You've been working all day, so you must be tired. Let me cook. You can rest.""I'm not tired," Imogen said as she guided Gregory out of the kitchen. She firmly said, "I'll do the cooking tonight."Gregory had lost his legs, so he used to walk with his hands. A few years ago, he spent thousands on a prosthetic leg but was swindled with a poor-quality one. Now, standing too long caused him pain, and he walked with a limp."Alright then," Gregory replied with a contented smile.Imogen busied herself in the kitchen while Gregory drank tea in the living room. Half an hour later, she made two plates of paella, a salmon omelet, and a bowl of Greek salad."Dad, dinner's ready."Gregory walked over to sit down. He looked at the food on the table and then at Imogen.Imogen sat down and used her cutlery to serve Gregory some food. She said, "Dad, let's eat." However, Grego

Imogen said, "No need. You work so hard, so you should relax when you get back from work. I can handle this myself."Sitting on the edge of the bed, Jasper pondered for a moment. He said, "Imogen, let's talk."Instead of stopping what she was doing, Imogen asked, "Talk about what?""Let's get to know each other better to ease the adjustment period after marriage." Imogen looked at him silently.Jasper said gently as he looked into her eyes, "We both have jobs, so we don't get much time together."Imogen smiled faintly. She said, "Life is long. Are you afraid we won't get to know each other well enough?"Jasper asked, "What's your relationship with Ethan?" Imogen fell silent. Jasper continued, "Is he your ex-boyfriend?"Imogen put down the cloth she was holding and leaned against the desk. She responded, "No. He is just a friend.""And what about his wife?"Imogen replied, "She was my close friend, but now she's just a neighbor that I'm familiar with."Jasper asked, "Do they l

"Let me think about it. I'll tell you later," Imogen said. She didn't expect much from this marriage as it lacked any emotional foundation. To her, as long as they could get by, it was enough. The marriage was merely to prove she had moved on from Ethan and also to reassure her parents.Late at night, Imogen returned to the bedroom in her pajamas after taking her shower. As she entered the room, she saw Jasper changing clothes.His well-built physique, defined muscles, and healthy skin tone momentarily stunned her. Realizing what she was seeing, she quickly stepped back and shut the door behind her as if she had done something wrong.Upon hearing a loud bang, Jasper looked toward the door. At that moment, his expression darkened.Outside, Imogen's face flushed and her heart raced. She was so nervous that her breath became erratic. The image of his perfect body kept replaying in her mind, filling her thoughts with blush-inducing visions.It wasn't like she had never seen a man wi

Imogen bit her lower lip because she felt so embarrassed that she wanted to smack herself. The words she said just now were so ridiculous. Both of them fell silent as they were lost in their thoughts. The atmosphere in the room was very ambiguous.Jasper then turned off the light. As the room fell into darkness, their breathing became even and steady. Jasper clearly knew what Imogen was talking about earlier, but he pretended not to understand.This night was restless for both of them. The next morning, Imogen was =up before dawn to make breakfast. She ironed Jasper's suit and polished his shoes. After that, she prepared his lunchbox.When Jasper woke up, he didn't see Imogen in the room. Instead, he found his neatly ironed clothes hanging in an obvious spot, which made him feel touched.As he walked out of the room, he saw Imogen busying herself in the kitchen.After freshening up, he headed toward the kitchen. When he walked past the dining table, he noticed the simple, yet nutr

After breakfast, Jasper left for work. Imogen saw him off downstairs. Watching him get into the car, Imogen waved goodbye to him.After his car drove away, only then did she head back upstairs. Despite living on the eighth floor, she didn't mind taking the stairs. She treated it as exercise.Back at home, Imogen cleaned the house, did the laundry, and hung the clothes up to dry. After finishing all the household chores, she got ready, took her resume, and went out to look for a job.Star Enterprise was founded by Jasper a year ago. The company primarily operated in the internet sector, including shopping platforms, online streaming, aerospace transportation, highly profitable game development, and esports teams.Jasper, as a rising business magnate, was quite famous in the business world. He had created a billion-dollar empire in a very short time.Some said he relied on his parents' advantages, others said he leveraged the power of his billionaire uncle, and some said he just got
The Wrong Woman Chapter 994
Imogen spent the whole day at the job market, submitting numerous resumes, but heard nothing back.She graduated from a technical college with a degree in "Aircraft Maintenance Engineering and Management", a highly specialized field that no companies seemed interested in.Her dream was to work in the aerospace industry, but her qualifications were not enough. She was stuck between aiming too high and settling too low.Just as she was about to give up and go back to running her online store, an old classmate called."Imogen, let's meet up. A bunch of our high school friends are having a reunion."Just as she was about to decline, the caller added, "A lot of our classmates have become big bosses. They're doing great."Imogen thought networking was crucial for finding a job, so maybe her classmates could help her out. After some consideration, she agreed.Several men and women were gathered in the luxurious hotel suite of Phoenicia Grand Hotel. As Imogen walked into the room, she w

Imogen's classmate said, "We know you're happy now, Scarlett. You're pregnant and you will be a mom soon. Not only that, your husband is a manager at a big company. You're living a good life!"Imogen felt increasingly uncomfortable listening to them gloat at her expense, but she didn't say a word. She just sipped her drink, ate her food, and smiled when someone spoke to her.She had hoped to leverage her connections to get a job, but now she realized it was just wishful thinking. She was merely a joke for these old classmates to amuse themselves with.Imogen wanted to finish eating and leave as soon as possible, so she kept her head down to eat her meal.At that moment, Scarlett made an infuriating suggestion. She said, "Imogen just got married and didn't invite us to attend the ceremony. How about we treat this dinner as her wedding banquet, and the meal is on you?"The classmates quickly agreed, "Yeah, that's a great idea! We'll send you the money as a wedding gift later."Imog

"500. I'll give 500 too…"Suddenly, everyone eagerly took out their phones, ready to transfer the money to Imogen.Pulling her phone back, Imogen stood up and said, "You guys don't have to transfer anything. Your gift money can cover the cost of this meal."If it's not enough, whoever organized this gathering should make up the difference. I'm broke and can't pay a cent."With that, Imogen grabbed her bag and left. A few classmates panicked.Two female classmates who were somewhat closer to Imogen caught up with her in the hallway. They pulled her aside and said, "Imogen, the reunion isn't over yet. Leaving like this isn't appropriate."The other was defending Imogen. She said, "Scarlett did this on purpose. She's been targeting you all night. If you leave because you're humiliated by her, you're playing right into her hands.""Exactly. You shouldn't let them mock you like this."Imogen resigned. She said with a faint smile, "I appreciate your concern. Maybe I'm just not suitab

Jasper became concerned as Imogen placed her hand over her heart. He asked, "Are you experiencing any chest pains? Have you consulted a doctor? I can take you for a check-up."Imogen reassured him, gently holding his arm. "Jasper, I'm fine. I'm just trying to figure out how to balance my future family and career."Jasper smiled knowingly, gently patting her head before pulling her into an embrace. He recognized her uniqueness—her drive to pursue her career and showcase her skills and talents. The thought of being a stay-at-home mother or merely a trophy wife held no appeal for her whatsoever.Holding her close, Jasper murmured, "Imogen, have you forgotten about your husband's financial prowess?"Imogen couldn't suppress a chuckle.Jasper reassured her of his commitment, "As long as you're on board, I can arrange a driver to drive you to work, an assistant to handle all your tasks, and you won't have to worry about anything. When you return home, there will be maids and me to ens

After returning from her journey across the globe, Imogen headed straight to the hospital. During her travels, she started noticing subtle changes in her body—nausea, fatigue, and a stronger need for rest. Her hunch was confirmed when tests revealed she was pregnant.She felt a blend of anticipation and apprehension. The idea of being pregnant raised thoughts of focusing on family life and raising children. Yet, she valued her career and was steadily demonstrating her skills. She wasn't ready to give it up just yet.When Imogen arrived home and stepped through the front door, she found Gregory and Carol were there. They had just returned from their trip as well, bringing back gifts. "Hi, Mom, Dad," Imogen greeted them.Still excited about their travels, Gregory and Carol eagerly recounted their adventures to Jasper.When Jasper heard Imogen's voice, he quickly stood and walked over to her, taking her hand. "Imogen, I woke up early and didn't see you around. Where did you go?"
The Wrong Woman Chapter 1086
Jasper thought the idea was brilliant and agreed, "Let's plan our route and leave next week."Imogen gently pushed him back, her hands on his chest. "Sure, but let me get up first. We'll map out our journey, set a schedule, and go on a trip for our wedding."Jasper took her wrists and lifted them above the pillow. "Let's discuss this tomorrow. I have some pressing matters to attend to at the moment."Imogen was about to respond when Jasper leaned in and kissed her deeply. Their lips intertwined with passion.…A week later, Imogen received another call from Yulia's lawyer, who conveyed Yulia's apologies and expressed her desire for Imogen's forgiveness. Yulia also requested Imogen to intervene with Nathan on her behalf.Imogen decided to ignore the request. She believed in the fairness of the law. It reminded her of Zoey, who had fraudulently claimed her degree and ended up in prison at Jasper's behest.As for Yulia, she had orchestrated attacks on Gregory, caused Carol to lose

Imogen's heart raced as she slowly hugged Jasper, her voice bashful yet resolute. "Jasper, you'll always have a place in my heart."Jasper tensed slightly, his senses on high alert. He met her eyes. A glint of anticipation sparked in his gaze as he eagerly murmured, "Say it one more time. Say it—""I love you, Jasper," Imogen said gently.Jasper's eyes immediately filled with tears as he held Imogen tightly, his body shaking. Overwhelmed by emotion, he could only whisper her name into her ear. "Imogen… Imogen…""Do you love me?" Imogen asked, her voice tinged with shyness.Jasper frowned. "I do love you. Haven't you always known?""I still want to hear it," Imogen said."I love you. I love you with all my heart," Jasper declared, gazing at her with intense passion and unwavering resolve.Feeling a bit stiff from his tight hug, Imogen gently pushed him away. "I love you, too, but I must get up and go to work.""Not today," Jasper responded, scooping and carrying her back to bed

"If it's a gift, why not accept it?" Mila whispered.Gregory quickly took the check, looking unsure of his next move.Once his money was accepted, Oakley assumed the issue was settled. He took Yulia's hand and began to leave the ward, saying, "Well, I'll leave with Yulia for now."Still feeling resentful, Yulia glanced back and shot Imogen a glare as they departed.The ward fell silent. Feeling uneasy, Gregory and Carol exchanged anxious glances."Nate, we can't go easy on them," Mila whispered.Nathan smiled knowingly. He took Mila's hand, gently caressed it, and said quietly, "Don't worry. I'll ensure our in-laws get the justice they deserve."Mila nodded, feeling reassured. Gregory and Carol, who were listening nearby, felt deeply moved and grateful.Since Gregory was injured and confined to bed, the meeting between Jasper's and Imogen's parents ended earlier than expected. After saying goodbye to their parents, Jasper and Imogen headed home. On their way home, Jasper felt

Yulia was renowned for her boldness and strong-willed nature. Aware of Oakley's wealth, influence, and dual reputation in legal and illicit circles, she feared no one and held a contemptuous attitude toward others, including senior military figures."You need to apologize to Ms. Imogen immediately," Oakley whispered urgently.Pointing at Imogen, Yulia muttered irritably, "Her? Oh, please! If anyone owes an apology, it's her to me."Oakley wiped his forehead nervously, trembling with anxiety. Everyone's expressions around them darkened visibly. Jasper suppressed his anger; his hands clenched into fists.Before he could speak, Yulia grumbled, "Jay, you blocked me before understanding everything, and then you terminated our contract. That's just too much."Mila couldn't shake her worry for Jasper. If he couldn't manage his relationship with Yulia appropriately, it could severely impact his marriage. Concerned that he might not handle it well, Mila intervened. "Ms. Gibson, please resp

Carol no longer believed the portrayal of wealthy women on television.Jasper took Imogen's hand, and they sat down on the couch together, feeling anxious. It was their parents' first meeting, and the hospital setting added to the tension. If things went wrong and their relationship soured, their future would look bleak.Imogen was particularly anxious. Her palms were growing clammy. Jasper pulled out a tissue and gently wiped her palms before reassuringly saying, "There's no need to be nervous. My parents are easygoing."Offering an awkward smile, Imogen teased him, whispering, "You seem more nervous than I am, don't you think?"Jasper chuckled but offered no reply. Dealing with Gregory and Carol was sure to be a bit daunting.Typically reserved around strangers, Nathan found it difficult to start a conversation at that moment. Meanwhile, Gregory and Carol felt apprehensive and cautious, worried that any misstep could upset the Morrisons and cause problems for Imogen.Sensing th

Mila approached them with a bouquet, smiling. "Yes, we're in the right place. We've come to visit you, our in-laws."The term "in-laws" caught Gregory off guard as he lay in the bed. Despite his injuries, he quickly propped himself up, struggling to sit upright. Carol, equally surprised, cautiously accepted the gift from Nathan's outstretched hands.Jasper and Imogen took the next elevator, so they hadn't reached the ward yet.Nathan quickly set his things down and hurried over, gently placing a reassuring hand on Gregory's shoulder. "You're injured. Don't get up. Just lie down and rest.""General Morrison, I…" Gregory's voice faltered in distress.Carol's hands trembled uncontrollably as she glanced nervously at Mila, worried that Mila and Nathan had overheard her argument with Gregory.Nathan spoke in a gentle tone, "Please, don't call me General Morrison. It sounds too formal. You both are older than me. Just call me Nathan, and I'll call you two by name in return."Mila came

In the hospital ward, Gregory had been asleep for over an hour when the nurse woke him to change his medication.After the change, Carol peeled an orange for him to eat. They shared the segments, chatting idly."Imogen really picked a good husband. Even these oranges he bought are unusually sweet," Carol said, marveling at the oranges. Gregory glanced at the orange and said, "They must be expensive.""Yes, they're sold by the piece in big supermarkets. Also, they're more expensive than beef and lamb," Carol said before eating another sweet segment.Gregory pondered for a moment. Then he curiously asked, "Someone ruined our house's floor. Do you think Jasper would help us repair it?"Carol shot him a look and replied, "Listen, don't burden Imogen with this. Don't even bring it up.""Why would it burden Imogen? With Jasper's wealth, this is nothing.""Enough," Carol snapped. "That's his business. No matter how poor we are, we shouldn't ask for what isn't ours." "You're too stu
