Chapter 305

Author: Cotton
Although Jack didn't run a company himself, he was involved in many high-tech projects.

In October, a leading hospital in Jefferville City announced its new AI-assisted medical system. Rumor had it that Jack was the one heading the development. The hospital's official account had even tagged his full name on Instagram when they made the announcement.

So when he stepped up to defend Jessie, people were shocked to learn that he was actually in a relationship. Everyone was asking why he was calling her his girlfriend.

Once Jack entered the fray, the swarm of paid trolls that had been relentlessly targeting Jessie suddenly quieted down.

"I could've handled this myself. You're working on a completely different project. Getting involved might not be good for you. Jessie called Jack right after he posted on Instagram.

"At worst, they'll just remove my name from the project," Jack said calmly as if it meant nothing.

Jessie was speechless.

How could he say something like that so lightly

    Rachel didn't answer. She just stared at Janice. No one knew what she was thinking.After not getting a reply, Lucy turned to Rachel and followed her line of sight before nudging her elbow. "I'm talking to you."Rachel gave her a cold look. "Janice and I are pretty close. If you talk trash about her in front of me, what do you expect me to say?"Lucy froze.Rachel's personality was a bit like Jessie's, but she wasn't as attractive.Out of the four of them, she was also always the quiet one.Now she looked at Lucy differently. She seemed aloof and barely hid her contempt."Do you know Janice?" Lucy asked.Shirley overheard them and immediately moved closer. "Did you know Janice was coming tonight?" She asked angrily.Rachel put her wine glass down. "Yeah. So?"Shirley was too furious to speak.Jessie watched Shirley's expression turn furious. She then looked at Rachel and softly said to Jack, "I didn't expect her to hide such an important fact."By then Jack had already pull

    "A welcoming party for her on my birthday? Are you out of your mind?" Shirley snapped.Her mother cut her off. "Shirley, this was your father's decision. Use your head and don't cause any trouble tonight. Be polite to Janice. And one more thing, the girl you mentioned, Jessie Stewart, was never poor. Jack Gerome isn't someone you should mess with either. If you don't know how the Judd family went down, go find out."The call ended abruptly.Lucy, who had been eavesdropping behind her, pulled Rachel away the moment she saw Shirley go quiet.As they headed toward the banquet hall, they spotted Jessie and Jack walking in.Jessie had her hand resting on Jack's arm as they entered the venue. Just as she was about to speak, her gaze met Janice's across the crowd.Janice stood among a group of guys from their class.When she saw Jessie, she smiled and raised her glass in greeting.She was smiling, but there was a strong sense of provocation."Looks like she's been waiting here," Jack

    If it weren't for Jack, Shirley wouldn't even bother being nice to Jessie.Who did Jessie think she was?"Well, since she turned you down, let's see what she wears tomorrow," Lucy said with a smirk. "We're all waiting for the show. Who knows? If she shows up looking cheap, her boyfriend might feel embarrassed and end up liking you instead."Shirley was quite pleased to hear that. Leaning back in her chair, she chuckled. "Actually, the day we went to that art exhibition, I got her boyfriend's contact number. I've been sending him money every day, and he hasn't turned me down once.""He doesn't look poor," Rachel couldn't resist saying."Oh, of course not. Handsome guys like him never have to worry about money. There are plenty of rich girls lining up to spoil him like our dear Shirley here," Lucy teased.On Wednesday afternoon, after class ended, Jessie was getting ready to head home to get changed when Shirley asked again, "Are you sure you don't want to wear what I picked out fo

    Shirley pouted. "Do you mean your boyfriend?""His family," Jessie said calmly. In truth, she didn't like how Ronny and Jack were toying with Shirley, but she also thought Shirley had brought it on herself."Oh. How much is the gown, and what brand is the jewelry?" Shirley asked.Jessie had no idea about any of that.She couldn't even remember the names of most luxury brands."I don't know. I don't recognize those brands," Jessie answered honestly."You're truly clueless. Do you even know what brands and prices the gown and jewelry I picked for you are? Don't wear what your boyfriend's family gave you. I bet they're not as expensive as mine, and you'll feel proud wearing what I gave you at the party.""How are you so sure her boyfriend's family's gifts aren't as expensive as yours? Sounds like you know her boyfriend pretty well," Lucy said sarcastically."I just do. So what? If you're so capable, why don't you find out yourself?" Shirley shot back.Every time she offered Jessi

    "Shirley's always pulling petty tricks. Why should I waste my time on people like that?" Jessie asked calmly.She wasn't like them. After all, she'd spent three years in prison. Her mindset was nothing like those carefree girls from rich families.Ronny couldn't help but laugh. "So you're saying you're above arguing with people like her, aren't you?""I'm saying I don't have the time to bother with things or people who aren't worth my attention," Jessie corrected him.Jack didn't like the sound of that.Was she really not worried that someone might try to steal him away?When she mentioned things not worthy of her attention, was she referring to Shirley's flirting with him? Did she truly not care?The weekend passed quickly.On Monday, Jack drove Jessie to school. Just as she was about to get out, he said, "I'll stop by tonight to pick up your laundry, okay?""I bought a mini washer online. It's small enough to sit on my desk." She'd placed the order yesterday. It should be ar

    "Oh." Jessie closed her eyes. "I'm going to sleep.""Aren't we doing anything else?" Jack asked."I'm still young. I've got four years of college ahead of me. I don't want to get pregnant, so don't you dare try anything." Jessie's eyes stayed shut, but her tone carried a clear warning.Jack almost laughed at her words."I miss the days when I was your boss." His tone softened with a hint of regret. "Back then, you'd never dare talk to me like this. You were obedient and always put me first."Jessie said nothing."Times have changed. The moment we got married, my status plummeted. The change is pretty hard to accept," Jack complained.Jessie kept her eyes closed with her brows furrowed tightly, but she didn't say a word.To be fair, Jack had done a lot for her.But Jessie wasn't the forgiving type. She could hold a grudge over something minor.After everything that had happened with the Stewart family, she couldn't help but think that if Jack had done something like that once,
