Chapter 131 Next step

It appeared that Curtis had acted impulsively, which explained why he had landed in his current predicament. It seemed like he was in desperate need of money and he didn’t wait for Jessica’s signal.Leah couldn’t help but think that Curtis was a real shithead.“Don’t do anything to Leah King yet.Wait for my call.”Jessica’s voice was sickly sweet, oozing with glee.”Things are looking up right now. I’ve gotten Eugene’s attention on me all over again.He’s been by my side these past few days.Mr. Ezra promised the marriage would go on, too. The wedding should be any day now.”At the mention of the wedding, Jason glanced at his sister, worried for her emotions.But Leah seemed unaffected. In fact, she barely looked bothered.Jason smiled lightly, feeling glad.“Since you two are going to marry, then that fifty million you promised—”“Why are you in such a hurry? Geez!”Jessica scoffed.”That’s barely any money. I’ll send you 5 million first. Then, when Eugene and I marry, I’ll pay you the rem

Chapter 132 Need to talk

“Find Jessica’s daughter. I need to set the bait beforehand, though.”Leah narrowed her eyes slyly.”Curtis said only Jessica’s mother,Maria, knows her whereabouts, so we’ll have to let her lead the way for us.”Jason smiled.“What about Jessica?”“Those whom God wishes to destroy, he first makes mad.”Leah sat back, yawning.”Isn’t she about to marry Eugene? We can’t make her crash and burn without first letting her sit in the high seat.”Jason pursed his lips, suddenly recalling what Curtis had said earlier.”Eugene is a blind, foolish man, Leah.”“I couldn’t care less. I’ve regained my sight regardless, so he’d better stay out of my way.”Leah took out her phone, recalling the pictures she had taken of Jameson from days ago.”By the way, see if you recognize this guy. He saved me from a potentially serious injury when Curtis attacked earlier today.”“Really?” Jason said, “We’ll have to properly thank him then.”“But he has been quite mysterious and secretive about his identity. Yet, he s

Chapter 133 Find suitors

“Oh Ezra.”Sarah let out,pitifully.Her face was lined with tears as she gazed sadly and lovingly at Ezra.”I thought I’d never see you again. I’ve suffered so much,Ezra. I was so scared…”Ezra did not feel an ounce of pity for her right now. He had undergone too much these past few days to spend energy making her feel better.Just then, the news channel came on the television. It was news of JK Group’s CEO, Jason King, signing the Verdane Valley project joint venture with Orlander Hodgson and his company.The two exchanged contracts, then shook hands as the reporters frantically took pictures of this historical moment.Eugene stared at the screen, hand slowly tightening around his glass. Ezra’s face was darkening at the same time.Their milk was spilled, and it was all because of Leah King!Sarah’s heart skipped a beat, and then she quickly grabbed Ezra’s arm.”Ms. Leah is too cruel to us! How have we offended her? She not only stole our company’s project, but she even tried to send me

Chapter 134 Her disguise

Leah couldn’t understand Jerome’s persistence. She wondered why she couldn’t have a say in the matter.“I’m in a meeting,Jerome. We can chit-chat in private, not here,” she grunted lowly.“Chit-chat? Your marriage is no mere chit-chat!”Jerome snorted.”If you want to become JK Group’s CEO, then you have to attend this!”Leah cursed silently at Jerome. She couldn’t help but wonder if Eugene had put him up to this.Did her father perhaps want to get back at Eugene.“Alright, fine! But not today. I’m in a meeting now!”Leah sighed. She was taking things slow now, never taking more than she could chew.“Hmph. Alright. You can’t refuse forever.”Leah scowled, thinking to herself, “Tryharder, old man!”The rest of the meeting went by awkwardly, with the team members fearful of upsetting Leah and getting into trouble.Afterward,Leah returned to her office and lay back on her sofa, resembling a robot that had run out of battery-utterly motionless.Josh came into the room with coffee, asking, “I

Chapter 135 Feeling sheepish

Leah had to wonder if her suitors truly fell for her charm underneath her hideous appearance or if they were too eager to marry the daughter of Jerome King. Even she would barf at her own face. How did they remain calm in front of her?Power was indeed a great motivator, prompting her suitors to turn a blind eye to her looks.Thankfully, she had plan B ready.During her lunch with the first suitor, she suggested showing off her talent by reading his fortune through palmistry.She informed the man that he had the health of a seventy-year-old despite being only thirty, causing his face to fall as he stormed out of the venue.During her tea break with the second suitor, she kept staring at the space behind the man until he felt a shiver down his spine.“Ms. King, what are you staring at?”“Dylan, there’s a kid standing behind you.He’s looking at you. Are you sure you don’t want him to join us?”Her voice took a creepy turn. “He looks…pretty…pitiful …”Dylan Coppola fled the scene before t

Chapter 136 Rare acceptance

Jameson smiled and sipped his tea with poise and grace, like a noble gentleman from a regency novel. He chatted with Leah for a bit.From their conversation, she learned that he had been caring for his mother in London. Due to Alzheimer’s, Lily Schmidt was unable to take care of herself anymore. Despite multiple opportunities to return to Chicago, Jameson chose to stay in London and build his career there.Leah recalled that Jameson came from a rather complicated family. There were four Schmidt siblings in total, with Jameson being the youngest. His two brothers and a sister were the offspring of the first wife, while Jameson was born to the second wife of the Schmidt Family.She knew little about Lily, who was once a close family friend. She even paid a visit tothe Schmidts’manor, but Lily left no impression on her at all.“So, why did you come home this year?”asked Leah.“I’m coming back to where I belong. Afterall, I’m the son of the Schmidt family. I want to take what I am entitl

Chapter 137 Pleasant coincidence

Josh pondered about the possibility of it being something else. He had a flashback of Leah’s wish to find a soulmate. He felt a squeeze in his heart as he heaved a long sigh.Right then, he spotted three black luxury cars driving in his direction. His eyes hardened when he saw the number plate of the Maybach leading the entourage.They were from the Moore Group. It was Eugene’s car!When the cars came to a stop, Tristan emerged from the front passenger seat and opened the car door at the back for Eugene.Eugene extended his long legs and stepped out in his spotless handcrafted leather shoes. He sternly buttoned his sleeve as he made his way out.“Fuck! What bad luck to run into him!”Josh silently cursed when he saw Eugene’s handsome face.A few seconds later, a pale hand appeared from the Maybach. “Eugene, can you give me a hand?”After some deliberation,Eugene reached out for Jessica with a frown. She hurriedly held onto his firm hand, worried that he might change his mind at any tim

Chapter 138 Been like that

Leah had always been like that. She would be completely focused on an object of her interest and fall into a world of her own.Suddenly, it occurred to her that Jameson was waiting for her. She quickly spun around to find him patiently standing on the side, this time with a straw basket in his hand filled with pink roses that carried an understated beauty.The breathtaking char m of the flowers reminded her of a quote from Wislawa Szymborska, which said, “Only a rose blooms as a rose, no one else.”“Ms. King,”Jameson addressed herwhile approaching with the flower basket.“Oh, don’t step in here! Be careful not to dirty your clothes!” she hurriedly stopped him when she noticed his sparkly clean outfit. However, he made his way through the thorny shrubs in an attempt to get to her.She pursed her lips in embarrassment.“Ms. King, this is for you.” His eyes were as soft as the sunset colors when he handed her the basket.“Thank you, but I can’t accept your gift,”she turned him down with

Chapter 139 My wait

Eugene’s entourage stared at each other in shock, especially Tristan, who looked like he was struck by lightning.Noticing Eugene’s grim expression,Jessica tried to be thoughtful and quickly comforted him.“Eugene, don’t worry. It’s just a rose garden. You can still reach out to the many rose gardens across the country.”Eugene removed his arm from her grip while she was talking. The impact of his movement caused her to stumble backward in an embarrassing moment.“Let’s go, Mr. Schmidt.”Leah didn’t bother to take another look at Eugene and Jessica. She beamed gently at Jameson instead.“Sure. I’ve made a reservation at the restaurant. We can leave at any time now.”Eugene felt suffocated when Leah and Jameson exchanged smiles. His brows knitted in anger as he stepped forward to stand in Jameson’s way.“Mr. Schmidt, let’s talk in private.” Eugene did not falter even after he had lost the deal.“If this is about the rose garden project, I have nothing more to discuss with you.”Jameson w

Chapter 140 Someone else

It was at that very moment that Eugene finally brought himself to acknowledge one fact.He didn’t want Leah to be with another man.He couldn’t stand the thought of Leah being with another man and it killed him to know that he had his chances with Leah but he fumbled it.Damn it!What was he going to do?Again,his pride refuse to let him humbly give up.He believed that he could still make things up to Leah,that she would give him another chance so he was determined to win her back!***************Jameson drove Leah home that day.As he pulled over at the front of her house.He opened the door but before he could hurry to the passenger’s side of the car.She had gotten down.Leah noticed the slight pout on his lips.“Is anything wrong?”She asked.“I was going to get the door for you.”He replied.“Oh,it’s just the door,it doesn’t matter that I happened it myself.”She said,softly.“It does to me.”He replied.She laughed,finding him silly.”So what do we do about it?”“Could you please get in
