Chapter 96

Penulis: Light Breeze
At the end of the month, on the eve of the contract signing between Nebula and Aurelia, a grand banquet was held at Skyview Hotel in Yarrowmere, attended by the senior and mid-level executives of both corporations.

Julian wore a classic black-and-white suit, standing tall and elegant. He was the object of admiration for many women.

However, he wore his wedding ring and maintained a distant demeanor, so no one dared to slip him a room key.

Timothy approached him with Heather for a conversation. Upon seeing the admiration in the eyes of many women, Timothy joked, "Julian, next time you should bring Mrs. Ziegler along. These hungry gazes look like they might just devour you."

Julian smiled faintly. "Timothy, you're exaggerating."

Timothy patted Heather's hand, signaling that he had something private to discuss. She smiled politely and walked away to mingle.

Once she left, Timothy spoke solemnly to Julian. "Don't take Jeffrey's actions to heart. It's normal for young people to someti

    People came and went. Jessica looked as if she was on the verge of tears. "Dexter, I'm begging you."He remained unmoved. Back then, even if there had been no love in his gaze, there was still a trace of pity. But now, he realized that what he had pitied was nothing but a venomous snake.Dexter didn't want to waste any more time. He tossed out a divorce agreement, his signature already scrawled across the bottom."Sign it, and I won't make things hard for your family."Jessica lowered her gaze and stared at the decisive signature. Then, she looked at Dexter, whose expression was still distant. She still remembered that night that he'd been gentle.She wanted to negotiate and bargain, but she couldn't afford to anymore. Living with her family, she was suffocating. In the end, she lowered her head and hastily scribbled her signature.Dexter took the papers, verified them, and then rolled up the window.Jessica frantically pounded against the car window and then ran after the car f

    The Summers family had stubbornly refused to divorce. They were clinging to the goal of obtaining the villa as a wedding home for Nathaniel.Dexter had both the power and means to deal with them. A week later, Nathaniel and his parents were all suspended from work.At his workplace, Nathaniel's superior looked at him with a heavy heart. "Nathaniel, it's good for a young man to have ambition, and wanting a better life isn't wrong. But we have to earn it with our own hands."We can't rely on shady shortcuts. Go home and think carefully about why you've been suspended. I can't say much, but let me remind you. Did you offend someone powerful lately?"Nathaniel's usually refined expression twisted with frustration. He knew perfectly well that this was Dexter's doing. The Zieglers had influence, so dealing with them was as easy as breathing.When Nathaniel returned home, Jessica was lying lazily on the sofa, chatting on the phone. She'd found someone new to sleep with. She'd figured tha

    Dexter gripped Jessica by the nape and shoved her down onto the sofa. Staring at her family, he sneered, "Should we call a doctor to check if she's caught something nasty?"Also, she orchestrated the car accident in Eboris so that she could save me and force me into marrying her. If she wants to deny it, we can call the driver right now."John was stunned. "Jessica, how could you?"Jessica burst into tears. "Dad, I love Dexter. I've always loved him! Everything was fine when we were in Eboris, but the moment we returned, he only had eyes for Eleanor."That night, I couldn't reach him, so I knew he was with her. I had to do something. The company in Eboris happened to run into some trouble, so I… Everything I did, I did it because I love him! I love him!"Rachel's heart ached for her daughter, and she snapped at John, "Can't you stop talking for a second?"Then, she looked at Dexter. "No matter what, you have to take responsibility. Because of you, Jessica lost her ability to have

    Separated by a pane of transparent glass, Dexter stared at Jessica silently. A cold light flashed across his eyes, as though he wished he could kill her on the spot.It turned out that the truth was ironic. Just because Jessica wanted to marry him, she'd orchestrated a car accident and played the part of the savior. However, she'd miscalculated and ended up ruining herself.What a joke. When she was lying on the operating table with tears streaming down her face, he'd held her hand tightly, vowing to stay by her side for life.At that time, Eleanor had been waiting for his return. She'd been hesitating, thinking about how to tell him she wanted a future with him. She was dreaming of a beautiful life together.Dexter's gaze slowly shifted to Eleanor's face. Now, his eyes were filled with longing and pleading, hoping for her to forgive him, but her expression remained calm and detached.Jessica shook her head in disbelief. "Eleanor, don't you care anymore?"The night was still and

    When Dexter left, he threw down a divorce agreement. Jessica refused to sign it.She was determined to drag this out with Dexter for as long as it took, even if it meant growing old together and dying of old age. If she couldn't obtain happiness, neither should Dexter.Jessica stared out at the night sky, burning with hatred. Suddenly, her phone rang from inside her purse.She took a look and saw it was Eleanor calling. After a moment of hesitation, she answered the call with guarded suspicion. "What do you want?"On the other end, Eleanor chuckled. "Mrs. Ziegler, may I have a word with you?"Jessica was taken aback. Half an hour later, the two met at a coffee shop.The shop was elegantly decorated, and the customers inside carried themselves with poise. Naturally, the prices were steep.Even a simple cup of coffee was over a hundred dollars, not the sort of place the average white-collar worker would frequent.Eleanor had arrived first and was seated by the window, her belly v

    Dexter's face was ashen. He didn't even need to think and instantly knew who had brought the reporters here.It was Jessica. She was insane, driven mad by jealousy, causing her to do such an outrageous thing.The scene was dead silent. Suddenly, the elites of Brindley had filled the space. Among them were his collaborators and competitors alike. If he answered truthfully, both he and Eleanor would be utterly disgraced, and Michael's reputation would be tainted.In the past, Dexter was arrogant and unruly. In the past, he valued his pride above all else.But now, facing the meddlesome reporters, facing the citywide livestream, he calmly answered, "The child Mrs. Hall is carrying is, of course, Mr. Hall's flesh and blood. It's Michael's biological child."Gasps echoed from all around. A reporter nearby turned to the camera and announced passionately, "Did you hear that? Mr. Ziegler just confirmed it himself that this child is not his. It clarifies Ms. Sutton's identity."The live b
