Chapter 1621

Before long, Jamie found herself holding a diamond bracelet, her fingers brushing against the surface. Bitterness swelled in her heart as she looked at the familiar bracelet. This was something Linda had given her many years ago. After Linda, had gone missing, Jamie had stored the bracelet away to avoid being reminded of her loss. Yet, after all these years, it had found its way back to her, as though completing a circle and returning to its starting point. When she brought the bracelet home, Linda was amusing herself in the living room. With Charlie at school, she had to find ways to entertain herself. Though Linda’s mental state was comparable to that of a five-year-old, she seemed perfectly content playing on her own. Still, Jamie couldn’t help but feel a pang of heartache every time she saw her mother like this. “Mom, I’m back,” Jamie said, holding the bracelet out to her. “Look what I found. Do you remember this?” Linda’s eyes lit up as she took the bracelet. “Br

Charlie had even asked his classmates at preschool about their grandmothers, curiously comparing them to his own. It didn’t take long for him to realize that his grandmother was quite different. None of his friends’ grandmothers behaved like a child, playing games or speaking in such an unclear, disjointed way. But Charlie didn’t mind. In fact, he adored his grandmother just the way she was. Seeing Charlie nearby, sticking close to Linda and watching over her, Jamie felt reassured and continued selecting groceries. Just as she decided she had everything she needed and was ready to check out, a commotion broke out nearby. "Hey, this old lady stole something! Somebody grab the thief!" “That’s not true!” Charlie’s voice rang out, loud and defiant. “My grandma isn’t a thief! You must have dropped it, and she picked it up to look at it.” The accuser was a middle-aged woman with her young daughter in tow. As an adult, she easily dismissed Charlie’s protests and placed al

The woman’s expression flickered with unease. “Are you trying to scare me with that?”“Whether it’s a scare or not depends on your actions,” Jamie replied, her tone sharp and laced with sarcasm. “An item left unattended is a lost possession to some, but to others, it might look like bait. Since when is returning lost property a crime?”The woman’s expression darkened as she realized she was losing the argument. The murmurs from the surrounding crowd began to shift in tone.“You’re just trying to dodge responsibility!” the woman snapped, her voice growing shriller. “I’ve never seen someone so shameless. Instead of feeling guilty, you stand there acting so self-righteous.”"You’re throwing baseless accusations at my mom, and the fact that I haven’t torn into you yet shows how patient I’m being. Do you actually expect me to be polite about it?" Jamie shot her a look that practically screamed, “Are you even hearing yourself?”The woman’s breath hitched in frustration. With a clench

Chapter 1624

There were too many situations like this and she couldn’t possibly help them all. And when it came to other people’s family matters, stepping in often felt like an impossible dream.She had to take back what she said earlier. Not every mother loved her child. There were selfish and terrible mothers out there too.What worried Jamie most was how today’s incident might shape Charlie’s values. For children, character and perspective were everything. She spent the entire way home fretting, and once there, gently probed him to see how he was processing the event, ready to comfort him if needed.To her surprise, Charlie seemed far more adaptable than she had expected. He even said something that left her stunned. “I know that girl’s mom is a bad mom, but my mom isn’t, so I won’t listen to her.”Jamie was speechless for a moment before a smile of relief spread across her face. *Once Jamie’s mother’s condition stabilized and she stopped waking up in the middle of the night screaming,

Chapter 1625

Jamie initially thought everything was settled. That was, until she overheard someone mention that Noah was also taking over the Gem Harbor project. She frowned. “I thought this project was already assigned to Mr. Lucas? How can one project have two leads?” The assistant glanced nervously toward the door, then leaned in conspiratorially. “It’s the old chairman’s decision.” Jamie’s frown deepened, her thoughts flashing back to Ben’s calm demeanor over the past few days. She hadn’t noticed anything unusual. Was he truly indifferent, or was he hiding his emotions so well that even she couldn’t tell? She couldn’t make sense of Ben’s father’s intentions anymore. Her unease lingered, and she decided she couldn’t sit idly by. She went straight to Ben’s office. The moment she stepped in, Ben’s sharp eyes lifted briefly to meet hers before dropping back down to his work. “You came at the right time. I needed to tell you something. We’re flying to Bay City tomorrow for a

Chapter 1626

Jamie felt a sting in her nose, barely holding back the tears threatening to fall. Linda grew anxious, sensing Jamie’s growing sadness. She repeated softly, “Don’t cry. Jamie, don’t cry.” Hearing those familiar words brought Jamie back to her childhood. Her mom had always comforted her the same way. With tears glistening at the corner of her eyes, Jamie managed a smile. “I’m not crying.” She quickly wiped her eyes and put on a brave face. Only when she composed herself did Linda relax and release her grip. “Mom, if I sent you to a place where you couldn’t see Charlie and me as often, would you be okay with that? Would you blame me?” Jamie asked cautiously. “What place? Where would I go?” Linda’s anxiety grew, her tone turning uneasy. The sight of her mother’s distress instantly made Jamie abandon the thought. She quickly backtracked, “It’s nothing, just kidding. Don’t worry about it. Go back and play with Charlie.” Linda returned to playing with Charlie, their

Chapter 1627

Ben remained unresponsive no matter how much Jamie tried to wake him. Her hand paused mid-motion when she noticed the faint furrow in his brow. Her resolve wavered, and her heart softened, silencing her intention to shake him awake. She adjusted her posture, giving up on the idea entirely.What Jamie didn’t notice was the subtle curve of Ben’s lips, a fleeting hint of satisfaction.By the time the plane landed, evening had fallen. The day had slipped away, and there wasn’t enough time to meet with anyone. Instead, they went straight to their hotel to check in. Jamie’s room was conveniently situated next to Ben’s, while the assistant was assigned a room farther away.Later that evening, Jamie was in the shower, enjoying the warm cascade of water, the bathroom filling with a light mist. Without warning, the showerhead stopped working. She fiddled with it, hoping it was a minor glitch, but the flow didn’t resume. “A fancy hotel like this, and they can’t even keep the water runnin

Chapter 1628

Jamie froze. Though she didn’t meet his gaze, she could feel Ben’s emotions lingering in the air. Her resolve wavered, but that unspoken thorn in her heart held her back. She stayed silent, even as Ben got up and left. After that, things between them shifted, the atmosphere growing subtly tense. Even their assistant couldn’t help but notice. “Miss Lewis, is something going on with you and Mr. Lucas? You both seem...off,” he ventured cautiously. Jamie glanced at Ben, who was engrossed in a stack of documents, and quickly looked away. “Nothing at all. We’re just focusing on work,” she replied lightly. The assistant didn’t buy it, but lacking proof, he had no choice but to drop the matter. “Do you play golf?” Ben’s voice broke the silence suddenly. Jamie blinked, startled by the question. “A little, but I often miss or send the ball flying,” she admitted honestly. Ben’s lips twitched slightly, suppressing a smile. Sending the ball flying? That wasn’t “a little.”

Chapter 1629

This time, Jamie wasn’t the center of attention. The gala was unique. It was not just a gathering for mingling, but one where guests were encouraged to play golf on the green. Good performance even came with a prize.Of course, given the wealth and status of the attendees, few truly cared about the prize. Most treated the game as a lighthearted diversion. The atmosphere buzzed with excitement as someone landed an impressive shot.A refined middle-aged man glanced toward the course and then smiled at them. “Mr. Lucas, Miss Lewis, would you care to give it a try on the course?”Jamie had been discreetly observing the man, quickly deducing that he must be the representative from the partner company.His invitation took her slightly off guard, but she recovered swiftly, her tone polite yet firm. “It seems Mr. Smith is indeed as rumored, a golf enthusiast. But I must admit, I lack the talent for it. I’d rather not embarrass myself out there.”Tim paused briefly, then chuckled. “Miss Le

Chapter 1630

Hearing that all-too-familiar voice, Jamie recognized him instantly. She turned to see Noah stride into the venue, his features bearing a striking resemblance to Ben’s, though his expression was laced with arrogance and defiance. Jamie’s brows knitted together slightly. It was unsettling to see a face so similar to Ben’s wear such a brazenly cocky look. It almost felt like a mockery of the man she knew so well.Tim seemed to hesitate for a moment before addressing Noah, “Ah, Mr. Noah Lucas, you’re quite late.” Everyone knowingly referred to him as "Mr. Noah," carefully distinguishing him from Ben. Noah chuckled at the implied slight in Tim’s words. “Better late than never, right? I’m still a guest, which means I have the right to join in.”Tim hesitated, wiping the light sweat forming on his brow. “Technically… yes, that’s true.” The unspoken tension in the room was palpable. Noah was clearly stirring the pot, but to what end? Seizing the opportunity, Noah took a go
