Ann's face turned red, rendering her speechless. Frank continued, "If I were you, I would keep my mouth shut and do nothing. I'd wait for the day when Chris takes over the Jewells. "You'd become the respected old madam of the Jewells, and people would try to flatter you. You'd live a comfortable life. So why do you want to control Chris? Are you aiming to manage the Jewells?"With your passable business acumen, connections, and wealth, you could have already built a successful career. But look at what you've achieved. Look at your father and your brother, look at your family, the Barwises. The lot of you aren't cut out for business. "You've let your father and brother turn the Barwises into what it is today. It's hanging by a thread, ready to collapse at any moment. What? Has your family not caused enough trouble for themselves? Do you also want to bring trouble to the Jewells?"Ann angrily glared at Frank, "You... You're just spouting nonsense."Frank asked, "Where did I speak

"Isn't there a saying that goes like this? An ex should be like the dead, never to appear again. Miss Shepard, don't you think that saying is accurate?" Paige asked Shelly with a smile.Observing Shelly's changing expressions, Paige couldn't help but chuckle in her mind.Shelly had been bullying her for so long. She must have thought Paige was easygoing and weak.Shelly looked at Paige and asked, "Can't we still be friends after a breakup? The relationship between me and Chris... it's impossible for us to cut contact. We've been going to school since we were kids. We grew up in the same social circle. We have the same friends and classmates."Paige smiled as she looked at Shelly and said, "But... Miss Shepard, it would seem like you want to be more than just friends with my husband, doesn't it?"Shelly calmly replied, "You've misunderstood. Chris and I are just friends.""Oh..." Paige appeared to have an epiphany and apologized to Shelly with a smile. "I see. It was a misundersta

Ann hesitated for a moment, taken aback by the turn of events."Mom," Paige suddenly looked at Ann, "Do you think... Shelly might be doing this on purpose?"Ann furrowed her brows, "Doing what on purpose?"Paige continued, "Mom, just think about it. Could Shelly be harboring resentment because she couldn't have Chris? So, to exact revenge, she's intentionally creating misunderstandings. That makes it seem like Chris and his ex-girlfriend have a murky relationship, and it'll tarnish Chris's image?"Ann was left speechless, staring at Paige in astonishment. She was taken aback by Paige's conjecture.Even Chris couldn't help but shoot a curious glance at Paige, wondering what was going on in her mind."Mom..." Paige leaned closer to Ann and whispered, "I'm not being overly suspicious. After all, there are those in the family that's keeping a close eye on this situation. Do you think Grandfather would still hand over Jewell Enterprises to Chris if a bad rumor comes up, damaging the c

"Mr. Jewell, here's your green tea," Paige said.Chris nodded faintly and took a sip. He furrowed his brow. "It's too strong."Paige responded with a puzzled expression, "Too strong?""Go and brew a lighter one," Chris instructed.Paige sighed internally but didn't protest. She was now certain that Chris was intentionally being difficult and taking out his frustration on her."Okay," Paige replied and obediently headed to prepare another cup of tea.She returned to the office, carrying the tea."Mr. Jewell, your tea is ready," Paige informed him.Chris glanced at Paige, then picked up the tea. He took a sip and put it down, all while keeping a strange, unsettling gaze fixed on her."What's wrong?" Paige felt uneasy under his intense stare and couldn't help but ask.Chris calmly stated, "This is the same tea as before."Paige blinked, looking at Chris in disbelief. How could he tell? She didn't have a preference for tea and found them all to taste quite similar."I brewed a

Paige remained perplexed, her brow furrowed. It seemed like she still didn't quite grasp the situation.Chris observed her continued confusion and raised an eyebrow. He couldn't help but think that maybe she wasn't as sharp as she claimed to be.He had made it rather clear, but she still didn't seem to get it."Andrew, along with the Carters, is interested in the Jewel Group's future CEO's sister," Chris explained.Suddenly, Paige's eyes widened, and the realization hit her like a lightning bolt.Andrew's interest was in Chris's power and influence, particularly because Luna's brother was set to inherit the Jewel Group.If the Jewel Group's future heir was Niel, then Andrew would undoubtedly be pursuing Mandy.Paige didn't hold any particular grudge against Andrew. Growing up in a world where power and influence often took precedence, she understood that people like him acted in their self-interest. After all, the Jewel Group and the Carters had originally arranged their busines
