Jessica's eyes were like saucers, wide with a mixture of awe and disbelief as she took in Lincoln's prese

Gosh!

What had I just seen!

Lincoln, one of the top assistants in the business world, driving Reggie and Isabel around like a chauffeur, huh?

"This... this can't be reall

Jessica's eyes flew open like startled owls as she watched the car disappear.

In that instant, a daring idea sparked in her mind.

The idea was taking root and rapidly growing into a full-fledged plan.

"It has to be!" she muttered to herself, her disbelief slowly turning into certainty.

Why else would Lincoln be driving Reggie and Isabel? Why else would the receptionist at the company have treated her so dismissively during her interview? And why else would Lincoln have defended Isabel earlier? And then there was the name of the company-1.2. Corporation.

"Gosh!" Jessica was beyond shocked, her rhund racing before a burst of wild joy overtook her.

My ex-boyfriend had become the owner of a company. This meant I could be a rich, pampered wife soon!

Without wasting another second, Jessica hailed a taxi and followed them all the way to Vermillion Maple Restaurant.

"Reggie!" Jessica ran over and blocked Reggie's path as soon as they got out of the car. "I'm so sorry. It was my fault. I shouldn't have broken up with you, but it wasn't entirely my fault, either. It was because-

Blame him for leaving the Zimmermans, so you couldn't become some wealthy young madam. Blame him for not being able to satisfy your insatiable need for luxury."

Isabel's words were sharp and cutting, leaving Jessica's face alternating between red and purple from embarrassment and fury. But she swallowed her pride and held back her temper

You wretched girl, you just wait. Once I become your sister-in-law, I'll make sure your brother throws your out of the Jamily!

"I didn't mean it like that," Jessica snapped, unwilling to waste time bickering with Isabel. She turned her teary eyes back to Reggie, her voice trembling. "Reggie we've been through so much together. I can't just let go, Honestly, ever since we broke up, I haven't been able to eat or sleep properly. I've been miserable, heartbroken, and-"

"Is that so? You look like you've gained some weight. I can see a little belly there. Don't tell me you've been stress-eating ever since you broke up with my brother, Isabel interrupted, her gaze fixed on Jessica's
