Chapter 188

“I really don't understand why you want me to be present so badly," Jane said through her chuckle as she ran her fingers through Caleb's hair while he buried his face in her neck.

“Because you're an important member of the board, Jane, and this is a big deal for us. I want you to be a part of it." He replied with a feigned grumpy tone.

"An important member?” Jane chuckled again, obviously finding humor in his childish behavior. He could be an enigmatic, no-nonsense CEO when he was around others but with her, he was just a hopeless romantic who was ready to burn the world down if that was what it took to make her smile.

“I just have that privilege because I'm your wife. Besides, I'm sure the deal can be finalized with or without me."

"But I want you to be there,” Caleb finally raised his head to meet her eyes with a pleading look on his face.

“How about the kids? I'll have to pick them up from school with the driver."

“Not a problem. I'll tell Lillian to help out, she'll

    Chapter 193“Hey, darling. Welcome back!" Caleb's eyes lit up with excitement when Jane and the twins arrived back home.“And are those my two precious little pumpkins? Come here!" The twins ran into Caleb's large open arms and he swirled them around while Jane watched with a contented smile."Hey, what's that face about, Toby? Is something wrong?" “I'm guessing he's still annoyed," Jane responded with a small sigh. “We passed by a toy store and he wouldn't stop asking to get some sort of sports car with glowing tires, but my head was all over the place and I snapped at him,” she sighed, rubbing her temples. “I didn't mean to, but I did and I'm sorry honey,” she reached out to touch Toby's hair but he pulled away with a pout. "I just want him to learn to be grateful for the toys he already has.”"Toby, Mommy's right, okay? Be content with what you've got." Toby grunted in response but Caleb ignored it and turned to Jane.“Well, how did the whole event go? Did you love the pieces?"

    Chapter 192“My God! Are you alright?" Brenda's alarmed tone sounded like it was coming from beneath the surface of water.By now, the models had all stopped to stare in Jane's direction. Including Abigail, whose eyes widened when she saw Jane but she quickly looked away.“Are you alright, Jane?” Winter repeated again and Jane quickly snapped back to reality. “What? Yeah… yeah, I don't know what came over me. I'm so sorry about the glass… I'll just…” Jane was about to bend to pick up some shards but Brenda quickly stopped her.“Don’t worry about that. The cleaner will handle that. Just sit back and rest for a while, okay? It seems you're a little bit stressed.”“Yeah… I must be stressed out. What about my kids?” Jane glanced towards the twins who did not appear fazed by what had happened in any way.“I'll make sure they're alright. You just take some rest, okay?”There was a look of hesitation on Jane's face before she finally sighed, relaxed her shoulders and allowed Brenda walk her

    Chapter 191“To be honest, I really am surprised at how easy it is to win the child over, Mann,” Xavier said as he walked into Mann's computer room. "And they're not as devilish as I thought either. You were right, he loved the colorful design of the tires like you said he would.”"I've studied them for years, boss" Mann smiled, pleased with himself. "So you can say he trusts you enough now to move further with the plan?” Mann asked.“Not yet. I just need a little more time. No need to rush the plan. The kid has to be won over mentally too. I've been feeding him stories about things his parents would have gotten for him already if they truly loved him. And he seems to be buying it slowly,” Xavier grinned wickedly."Do you really have to manipulate him into hating his parents?” Mann raised a brow."Of course!” Xavier lowered himself to the small sofa. “They smother him with so much love at home. The kid needs to know that the outside world isn't full of hugs and bedtime stories. There

    Chapter 190“No, no, it can't be. It just can't be. There's no way we wouldn't be able to find at least one of them. This is the most intense search we have done in a long time,” the Warden complained, his tone heavy with distress. He had called for an emergency meeting to address the issue of the escaped prisoners, and things were not looking good at all."All we could find were tire tracks close to the path where the garbage trucks pass early in the mornings. We're guessing the inmates were in one of the trucks and took off in another vehicle at the intersection,” officer Griffin West explained. "We did investigate all the drivers on duty for that day and none noticed anything fishy. I personally made sure to carry out background checks and, well, it seemed to me that all the men were innocent. The inmates possibly slipped in without their notice." “So there could have been an inside man helping them?" The Warden asked and officer West shrugged.“That's a strong possibility, Warden

    Chapter 189“I'm so glad Jane trusts me to go pick them up today. Have I mentioned how protective of them she is? Yeah, I think I have. I always yap about them, don't I?” Lillian asked with a chuckle while she got her make-up done. "Anyway, it shows how much she trusts me and I really do appreciate that a lot.”“She's so protective because of what she's been through over the years right?" Trevor asked, watching her do her make-up like there was nothing else he'd rather watch."Yeah, exactly because of that. Thank you for listening to my endless yapping, babe," she said with a smile."I'd rather hear that for the rest of my life than anything else,” Trevor replied.Lillian stared at him for a while with admiration and then turned back to the mirror. Silence had descended between them but she could still feel Trevor's eyes on her while she finished up her make-up.“Alright, ready?" She asked him as she put on bangles.“I was ready an hour and a half ago, babe," Trevor smiled.“Right. I
