Jessica's anger flared as she stared at Reggie with intense disdain.

Raised in a humble rural family, she had used her attractiveness to her advantage upon meeting Reggie at university.

Captivated by his wealthy background and good looks, she orchestrated multiple serendipitous encounters, learning his hobbies and preferences to position herself as his ideal partner. This manipulation led to their relationship. A few years back, Reggie risked his life by running into a fire to save Isabel, which left him with extensive burns on his face. Overnight, he went from being the school's heartthrob to someone disfigured.

If it had not been for his position as the Zimmerman heir and his mild-mannered nature, Jessica would have moved on from him long ago..

As Isabel entered, she quickly sized up the situation.

"There's no need to force a choice. Do you think Reggie doesn't see through you? When he was admired, you were sweet and docile. Now, faced with his adversity, you turn critical and scornful. Do you actually care for him?" Before Jessica could respond, Isabel cut her off.

"Don't claim love; your interest lies solely in his position as the Zimmerman heir. You're nothing but shallow."

Jessica, exposed and embarrassed, retorted defensively

"Stop accusing me falsely! I'm not like that!"

"Is that so? Well, let me be clear-my brother isn't going back to the family, and he's no longer the Zimmerman heir. If you still want to stay with him, you'll have to get used to a tougher life. You won't be able to just buy anything whenever you feel like it.

"And when you marry my brother and become part of the family, you'll need to contribute financially as well. Of course, if you choose not to work outside, my brother will take responsibility for providing for you, but that doesn't mean you can just sit around all day. You'll still need to take care of basic household chores like cooking and laundry."

Isabel watched as Jessica's face twisted with shock and indignation, her emotions clearly etched across her features.

"Reggie," Isabel said as she turned to look at Reggie.

Being his sister, she knew this was a decision she could not make for him.

Reggie had been with Jessica for years, and while she might have only been drawn to his outward qualities, Reggie was someone who took everything seriously, especially matters of the heart.
