Chapter 130

Jessica pressed her lips together.

Clearly, Timothy was worried that if she returned to work, it would sway Ines's decision somehow.

He was overthinking it.

She was terminally ill-cancer had left her with little time. Even if she wanted to, her body wouldn't allow her to go back to work.

When Ines heard Timothy questioning Jessica, she wondered if he was actually open to letting Jessica work again. As it happened, she'd planned to raise the topic herself today. Without hesitation, she turned to them and said, "Mr. Lawson, since you're both here, I'd like to ask what you think. Jessica isn't alone anymore. If she does go back to work, she'll need her family's support. I hope she'll return to the animation industry-she's so talented, and someone like her deserves to shine. Mr. Lawson, if Jessica wanted to start working again, would you support her?"

Sheila felt her heart twist into knots.

She was sitting right there, yet Ines didn't spare her any courtesy-every word made it clear that she wanted Jessica on her team.

How was she supposed to accept that?

Sheila glanced at Timothy, anxiety flooding her. What if he took Jessica's side?

Timothy didn't answer Ines directly. Instead, he turned to Jessica with a gentle look in his eyes. "Jessica, you haven't answered me yet. Do you want to go back to work?"
