Chapter 191 Ann's Family

Ann deliberately spoke in a harsh and insulting manner to Paige. Paige looked at Ann with a pale face, finding her words deeply hurtful. How could Ann speak about her parents in such a way?"I..." Paige wanted to argue but was cut off by Chris who said, "Even if there was infidelity or an affair, it doesn't concern you, Mom."Ann's frown deepened, and she became even angrier. If Chris hadn't defended Paige every time, perhaps Ann wouldn't be as furious or resentful toward her. That saying about forgetting one's mother after marrying a wife looks to be true in this case. Ann couldn't comprehend how Paige had managed to bewitch Chris."How can it not concern me?" Ann said angrily. "The Quirks are my in-laws. The news about the divorce will spread and my friends will be questioning me about what's going on. It's embarrassing and awkward to be dealing with a divorce at their age."Paige lowered her head; it was true that matters in the Quirks would cause trouble for the Jewells.

Chapter 192 Sierra's Proposal

Ann's face turned red, rendering her speechless. Frank continued, "If I were you, I would keep my mouth shut and do nothing. I'd wait for the day when Chris takes over the Jewells. "You'd become the respected old madam of the Jewells, and people would try to flatter you. You'd live a comfortable life. So why do you want to control Chris? Are you aiming to manage the Jewells?"With your passable business acumen, connections, and wealth, you could have already built a successful career. But look at what you've achieved. Look at your father and your brother, look at your family, the Barwises. The lot of you aren't cut out for business. "You've let your father and brother turn the Barwises into what it is today. It's hanging by a thread, ready to collapse at any moment. What? Has your family not caused enough trouble for themselves? Do you also want to bring trouble to the Jewells?"Ann angrily glared at Frank, "You... You're just spouting nonsense."Frank asked, "Where did I speak

Chapter 193 Paige's Outburst

Sierra remained silent. She acknowledged the reason in James' words. Few people knew that she had betrayed Chris. Many uninformed onlookers sympathized with her, believing it was impossible for her to give up such an outstanding man as Chris. To them, it seemed like Paige had snatched her man. Sisterly rivalry in love was a common occurrence in today's society. However, if she were to marry someone else within just a few months, the public opinion would shift once again. James had valid concerns, but Sierra couldn't help but feel dejected. She had expected James to be excited and overjoyed by her proposal, but his response had been calm, cold, and rational.The lingering disappointment weighed heavily on her heart, and the recent coldness from James had left her anxious. Could it be that James never loved her? Was it possible that he only saw her as a challenge, not as a woman he cherished?After all, she was Chris's woman. If James could steal her away from Chris, it would b

Chapter 194 Paige's Trap

"Isn't there a saying that goes like this? An ex should be like the dead, never to appear again. Miss Shepard, don't you think that saying is accurate?" Paige asked Shelly with a smile.Observing Shelly's changing expressions, Paige couldn't help but chuckle in her mind.Shelly had been bullying her for so long. She must have thought Paige was easygoing and weak.Shelly looked at Paige and asked, "Can't we still be friends after a breakup? The relationship between me and Chris... it's impossible for us to cut contact. We've been going to school since we were kids. We grew up in the same social circle. We have the same friends and classmates."Paige smiled as she looked at Shelly and said, "But... Miss Shepard, it would seem like you want to be more than just friends with my husband, doesn't it?"Shelly calmly replied, "You've misunderstood. Chris and I are just friends.""Oh..." Paige appeared to have an epiphany and apologized to Shelly with a smile. "I see. It was a misundersta

Chapter 195 Paige Sows Discord

Wendy felt that demanding the bracelet was truly a trivial matter. She considered the lawyer's words and saw some merit in them. After a moment of hesitation, she said, "Let's go ahead and investigate."She had given up on Bob. All she wanted now was to secure a larger share of their assets in the divorce. It wasn't that she had become heartless—that was Bob. She had threatened to jump off a building right in front of him, but he had remained indifferent. While she hadn't followed through with the act, her heart had already taken the plunge, leaving her emotionally numb.Once a person's heart went numb, they would become cold, unfeeling, and vengeful."Very well," the lawyer nodded.Wendy's emotions were complex. She certainly didn't wish for Bob to have an affair. However, from a financial perspective, she hoped he would as that would allow her to secure more assets if evidence was found by the lawyer.——Paige and Chris returned home after work. As soon as they entered the hous

Chapter 196 Sowing Discord Successfully

Ann hesitated for a moment, taken aback by the turn of events."Mom," Paige suddenly looked at Ann, "Do you think... Shelly might be doing this on purpose?"Ann furrowed her brows, "Doing what on purpose?"Paige continued, "Mom, just think about it. Could Shelly be harboring resentment because she couldn't have Chris? So, to exact revenge, she's intentionally creating misunderstandings. That makes it seem like Chris and his ex-girlfriend have a murky relationship, and it'll tarnish Chris's image?"Ann was left speechless, staring at Paige in astonishment. She was taken aback by Paige's conjecture.Even Chris couldn't help but shoot a curious glance at Paige, wondering what was going on in her mind."Mom..." Paige leaned closer to Ann and whispered, "I'm not being overly suspicious. After all, there are those in the family that's keeping a close eye on this situation. Do you think Grandfather would still hand over Jewell Enterprises to Chris if a bad rumor comes up, damaging the c

Chapter 197 Shelly Resigns

"I know you have feelings for Chris, and Paige is the third-wheeler in your relationship with him. But… Chris and Paige are husband and wife now. Your behavior will be looked down upon, and it will harm both your reputation and Chris'," Ann explained.Shelly bit her lip. She understood. Ever since she started working as Chris's secretary at the Jewell Group, there had been continuous gossip behind the scenes. People called her shameless because Chris was already married, yet she persisted.She had heard plenty of unkind words, both directly and indirectly. But Shelly did not care. No matter how harsh the words, she could endure them as long as it meant being with Chris."Aunt Ann, I don't care," Shelly said with tear-filled eyes."But Chris does," Ann replied.Shelly fell silent."Shelly," Ann continued, "Chris and I are going to inherit the Jewell Group in the future. The CEO of the Jewell Group can't be a person with a tarnished reputation."Shelly remained silent.Ann looked

Chapter 198 Do You Have No Idea?

"Mr. Jewell, here's your green tea," Paige said.Chris nodded faintly and took a sip. He furrowed his brow. "It's too strong."Paige responded with a puzzled expression, "Too strong?""Go and brew a lighter one," Chris instructed.Paige sighed internally but didn't protest. She was now certain that Chris was intentionally being difficult and taking out his frustration on her."Okay," Paige replied and obediently headed to prepare another cup of tea.She returned to the office, carrying the tea."Mr. Jewell, your tea is ready," Paige informed him.Chris glanced at Paige, then picked up the tea. He took a sip and put it down, all while keeping a strange, unsettling gaze fixed on her."What's wrong?" Paige felt uneasy under his intense stare and couldn't help but ask.Chris calmly stated, "This is the same tea as before."Paige blinked, looking at Chris in disbelief. How could he tell? She didn't have a preference for tea and found them all to taste quite similar."I brewed a

Chapter 199 Engagement Talks

After finishing work, Paige returned home. Ann and Luna, the mother-daughter duo, were sitting on the couch, engaged in a conversation."Mom, Luna," Paige greeted with a smile.Luna nodded and replied, "Hey, you guys are back from work."Paige nodded. Ann, however, gave them a brief glance without much expression.Paige continued, "Mom, Shelly resigned from her job at the company."Ann's response was calm and collected as she merely said, "I know."Paige could tell that it was Ann who had influenced Shelly's decision to resign. Ann had initially arranged for Shelly to work at the company, hoping she would make a good impression, but ultimately, Ann's concern for Chris's reputation was her top priority. Paige had once believed that Ann favored Shelly, but now it was clear that Ann's true allegiance lay with Chris.Luna, who seemed puzzled, inquired, "Shel was doing well, why did she resign?"Paige shook her head with a smile, "I don't know."Ann turned to Luna and said, "Luna,

Chapter 200 Andrew Carter

Paige remained perplexed, her brow furrowed. It seemed like she still didn't quite grasp the situation.Chris observed her continued confusion and raised an eyebrow. He couldn't help but think that maybe she wasn't as sharp as she claimed to be.He had made it rather clear, but she still didn't seem to get it."Andrew, along with the Carters, is interested in the Jewel Group's future CEO's sister," Chris explained.Suddenly, Paige's eyes widened, and the realization hit her like a lightning bolt.Andrew's interest was in Chris's power and influence, particularly because Luna's brother was set to inherit the Jewel Group.If the Jewel Group's future heir was Niel, then Andrew would undoubtedly be pursuing Mandy.Paige didn't hold any particular grudge against Andrew. Growing up in a world where power and influence often took precedence, she understood that people like him acted in their self-interest. After all, the Jewel Group and the Carters had originally arranged their busines
