After being reborn, I make up my mind to stop chasing after my husband and daughter

Chapter 394

I stiffened for a moment, then started weighing my options. “For a woman, reputation means more than life itself. If I actually go through with this, what’s in it for me, Mr. Jennings?”

Edward fixed his eyes on me, his tone probing. “So, what do you want out of this?”

“Anything I ask for, you make it happen,” I replied. If I straight–up asked for cash, that’d be like trying to rob a lion–might even get me in legal trouble. But if I could get his backing at work, use his network, then whatever I gain is up to my own ability.

Edward arched a brow. “Ms. Murphy, you really don’t hold back, do you?”

“Mr. Jennings, you want me to fake a marriage–this is a major life event. I’m putting everything on the table here, so being a little greedy is only fair, right?” I knew how much weight Edward’s words carried. Honestly, I didn’t have much room to say no.

Edward let out a small, amused laugh. “Trust me, I’ve met people way greedier than you. You’re pretty mild, honestly.”

‘I felt a wave of relief wash over me.‘ “So, Mr. Jennings, you’re really saying yes?”

“Ryan comes before anything else. If you want my help with your job, just say the word–I’m in,” Edward replied, not even hesitating.

But then another worry crept in. “Ryan’s not easy to fool. If he finds out the marriage is fake, is he going to go after the guy I pick as my fake husband and beat him to death or something?”

Edward’s expression shifted for a moment, then he said seriously, “Well, that depends on how good your acting is, Ms. Murphy.”
