"Mom, whose money are you talking about here?"
"Isn't that all your money? They were sent in the name of your account. I can't be wrong. Girl, if you really want to ask for the excess just tell me. I can't possibly let you live a hard life."
"First, I didn't send anything. Second, how much money did you receive, mom?"
Jessica knew her mother well, a small amount of money would not make her mother so grateful. There will be no excess money. There was never any extra money that Michelle could save for herself or for her children.
"It’s 5 million dollars," Michelle immediately stated the amount of money happily. How come did you hide it from me, you should—”
"Five million? Impossible!!" Jessica was shocked on the other side of the phone.
That amount was more than enough to pay Michael tution free until he graduated. Alas, Jessica never had that kind of money. She hadn't been working for long and never had a million in her account.
That was after fairly tight budgeting so that Jessica could set aside a portion of her income to buy investment products. All that money definitely didn't belong to her. Where's all that money coming from?
Michelle said that she had told Michael to contact her and ask for some money for university enrollment. Michelle didn't expect Jessica to be so generous in sending such a large amount of money for her brother.
Michael did contact Jessica. She didn't pick up his call because she was caught between Alicia and Theodore yesterday. So she messaged her brother afterward.
Michael didn't say much. He only said that he missed his sister and wanted to know how she was doing, such as is Jessica okay and have her eat properly. Her brother is indeed the only one in the world. She was grateful to have Michael as her younger brother. Jessica was even more grateful that Michael didn't inherit her mother's traits. Her younger brother is very modest, understanding, and very caring.
Michael didn't even mention the slightest bit about university enrollment fees to Jessica. He did not dare to burden his sister further regarding money.
Now that her mother had received that amount of money, Jessica was unsure and immediately checked her bank account. There have indeed been some large transactions that have taken place in the last few dates.
The five million dollars suddenly appeared in her account and was immediately transferred to her mother's account. Jessica used her lunch hour to check the origin of the money in her account and how it was in her account.
After further checking, Jessica finally knew the origin of the money. The money came from the Falcon Foundation's finances. One of the foundations under Falcon Enterprise, but why did the foundation office send such a large amount of money to her account?
That afternoon Jessica went to the Falcon Foundation office, as the headquarter representative to do some checking. To her surprise, Jessica did not find any records in the Falcon foundation office explaining the transfer of funds to her account.
The five million yuan was not recorded in the Falcon foundation's books. It was as if the money had never been there. Not even with shipping transactions to her account. The money is like a ghost.
"Miss Becker, I've been looking for you all this afternoon. Where did you go?" It's Ervin Claymont, Finance Director of Falcon Enterprise. He stopped Jessica when she wanted to go back into her office.
"Mr. Calymont, I'm sorry, I went to the Falcon Foundation office to check on something."
"You dare to go to the Falcon Foundation office to check something? You are really shameless. Come with me to the conference room. The internal audit committee has been looking for you!"
The internal audit department is looking for me?
Could it be about the amount of money that went into her account?
Jessica's heart felt like it had fallen into her stomach. What exactly happened?
"Lemme pay for it."Theodore held up his card, volunteering to pay. He held Alicia's hand as the woman took out her purse. Theodore always paid for the dresses that Alicia bought when they shopped together."Why? There’s no need. I’ll pay for this. I’m the one intended to give her a proper dress."This dress is not for her, why should Theodore pay for it? Alicia found it strange to let Theodore pay for Jessica. Well, except for food. A luxurious dress with Theodore's money was excessive to give.After convincing Theodore, Alicia went to the cashier to pay for Jessica's dress.Theodore glanced at the card in his hand and put it back in his wallet. Initially, he had no intention to draw the card to pay. However, after seeing the last dress Jessica wore, his hands were so excited and itchy. Theodore felt compelled to pay for the dress.Even though it was just a glance, he knew Jessica looked remarkable. That bare back of hers, how could he touch it?The store employee came out of the ch
"You want me to try on these dresses?"Jessica thought they were picking a dress for Alicia to wear tonight. She glanced at the dozen or so dresses that Alicia had chosen. She was a bit hesitant because all the dresses that Alicia chose were revealing and unfitting to her taste. The problem wasn't just the models of the dresses but that there was Theodore with them.Ever since Theodore bit her ear yesterday, Jessica didn't dare to look at him. She kept her distance and interactions with that man today. Theodore was watching her every move intently.Theodore realized he had been bewitched by this little Becker and there was no turning back. He enjoyed stealing glances to observe Jessica while wondering inside: When could I kiss her again?"Jessie, I want you to perform properly tonight. So, let's make yourself stand out a bit more than usual." Then Alicia whispered her devious plan under her breath, “remember, you have a duty to take Theodore away from me.”Jessica swallowed hard. Sh
Alistair could have stopped Theodore's mischievous activities, but how could he have ruined such a perfect occasion? That would be an opening to go against Theodore’s relationship with his beloved daughter.The brat that once swore all his love and promised to be faithful to Alicia. But in fact what… he's just a mischievous kid who hasn't grown up and can’t keep his words.Alistair deliberately didn't stop him. What he saw today was still not strong enough to make accusations and make it an excuse to break the engagement. They needed something even stronger that Theodore couldn't possibly deny.…Alistair stepped into Alicia's room after confirming that Theodore had come down. Jessica did not immediately salute, this poor woman still seemed to be shocked by what Theodore had done to her.It was only when Alistair made a sound then Jessica noticed his presence. "Is there anything I can help you with, Sir?""I just want to look for Alicia." Alistair's eyes scanned Jessica, seeing if The
Did he intend to do a public display of affection in the banquet?Alicia wouldn’t mind if it was in their environment. However, Whitaker's banquet would definitely be a different place. Most of the guests on the invitation were her seniors. Showing off the relationship in such an environment is not a good idea unless they are a married couple.Alicia didn't like the idea. She could imagine the result. If the seniors found out they were just lovers they would have advised her to immediately go to the registry office and sign the marriage certificate.Well! It will not happen. Alicia didn't plan on marrying Theodore. All she wanted was to part with him immediately."Come on... you will come to the party with me!" Now it no longer sounds like a question.Alicia knew Theodore was giving her an order. She could not ignore but accompany him to the party.Ah, shit! Jessica shouldn't have brought the invitation into her room and announced it clearly in front of Theodore. Remind her to charge
Theodore had informed Alicia that he would not be able to visit her office that afternoon either, but Theodore would still pick her up in the evening. So, Alicia thought she didn't need to try those cheap perfumes in a hurry. She would just spray it before Theodore came. What happened was that Alicia forgot to try it completely after she found out how ‘bad’ the perfume was and unfortunately Theodore actually did his inspection work on Alicia. "Didn't you try the perfume I sent you this afternoon?" asked him. When Theodore hugged Alicia this evening, he knew it immediately that Alicia had not used the perfume he gave. Theodore was somewhat familiar with Alicia's scent and he became disappointed that Alicia didn't smell as good as he expected. "Uh, I've tried them of course. Maybe it's because I don't use them enough or… maybe because they don't last long enough. You know, those perfumes are a bit different from what I'm used to." Alicia wanted to say it was a cheap perfume, but of c
"Ugh, Theo… stop!” it was too sudden so Alicia pushed Theodore away because she wasn't prepared for the hard kiss."Let's not talk about Jessica anymore. I don't like her. Let's not mention other women or even other men among us. Okay?" Theodore cupped Alicia's face with his big hands."Do you hate her that much?"It’s not because Theodore hates her, but because he could barely control himself when he heard Jessica's name being mentioned. His mind was wild and uncontrollable at the thought of that little woman.Theodore was reluctant to answer Alicia. He took a lighter step this time as he touched Alicia's lips again. At least each of these touches calmed his frantic nerves. He felt better as his
