Falling for the rejected son-in-law のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 111 - チャプター 120

Anger swirled like a tempest within Madam Aniston as Chase's words slowly settled in her heart, heavy with tension. Her elegant gown rustled as she took a step closer to Chase, her lips forming a tight, thin line. "Boy, you can't possibly understand what you're doing. You are jeopardizing everything your grandfather and his ancestors have worked for. Everything this family has worked for." "Grandmother, it's my decision. This company is my inheritance, and I believe in Jada's ability to lead it." Chase said, taking a step in front of Jada. Those words made Madam Aniston's icy stare bore into her grandson, and she lashed out, "Jada is untested, and you hand her the reins without a second thought?" Standing beside Chase, Jada fought to maintain her composure. Her fingers subtly gripped the edge of her elegant evening gown, a bunch of emotions swirling through her like an untamed storm, and she longed to speak up, to prove herself. But Madam Aniston's reputation as an indomitable m

As Jada made her way down the stairs, the soft padding of her fluffy slippers echoed through the otherwise silent house. Her thoughts swirled around in her mind, still reeling from the events of the previous night. She couldn't shake the feeling of unease that had settled deep within her chest. Despite the anxiousness that weighed heavily on her heart, Jada couldn't help but feel a glimmer of hope as she thought about Chase. She was slowly beginning to open up to him, allowing him to see a side of her that she had kept hidden away for far too long. But as she thought about the way he had acted last night, her hope began to dwindle. She remembered how he had come back to their bedroom and said nothing, simply wrapping his arms around her and holding her close. At the time, it had felt comforting, but now it only served to add to her growing sense of stress. As she reached the bottom of the stairs, Jada took a deep breath and tried to push her worries to the back of her mind, promisi

Taking a deep breath to steady herself, Jada turned her attention back to the client. The air in the room grew heavy with tension as she watched his gaze with confidence. "Mr. Granger," she began. "I'm afraid I must criticize the audacity of this proposal. Did you truly believe that I, as the owner of Octane X Corporation, would consider such an inadequate offer? Do you think so little of me? Is this how poorly you think of Chase Aniston and the entire Aniston family?..." "I...I didn't mean to offend you," he stammered, his eyes flickering nervously to Tony, and then he scowled at Melissa. Narrowing her eyes, Jada continued, her voice rising with conviction. "Your proposal not only lacks imagination, it lacks integrity. We are a company that prides itself on innovation and sustainability. Your plan does not align with our values or our mission statement." Then she leaned forward, her eyes burning with intensity, saying, "We will not compromise our ethics for the sake of profit. O

Moans echoed in the bedroom as Chase held Jada down on the bed, her bare skin shining in the low light of the early morning. Her back arched and she cried out in pleasure as he moved between her legs. His hand slipped from under her top to trace a line up her stomach as he kissed her neck. Unable to take the heat, Jada squirmed underneath him and gasped for air as his fingers traced the hem of her shirt. Smirking, he pulled it over her head and leaned down, capturing her lips with his. The moment their tongues touched, he felt heat flood through him as the kiss deepened, her hands gripping his shoulders. A groan left him as she bit his lip, and then another growl escaped him when she nipped hard at his earlobe, causing her to laugh against his mouth. Slightly, Jada lifted herself, pressing her chest against Chase. Her hand drifted lower between them, caressing his erection tentatively. He jerked involuntarily as she rubbed against him, the friction sending shivers up an

As Jada raised her eyelids the next morning, and tears trickled from the corners of her eyes, she wiped them hastily with the heels of her hands, and woke from bed, resting her feet on the cold tiles. For the longest, she just sat there staring into space, and then she burst into tears, falling back on the mattress and curling into a ball, unable to fight back her misery any longer. "It hurts. Why does it hurt so much? I thought I'd get over it. I thought I'd be able to get over it! I was stupid! It's my fault, it's all my fault! I shouldn't have kissed him; I should have never done that!" she cried out between her sobs. "I want to die, I wish I could die. But, here I am, living in hell instead. How pathetic am I?" Suddenly, the was a knock on her door, but Jada felt too exhausted to answer. "Jada, it's Ivy. Your grandfather is here to see you." Her aunty voice came, breaking through the veil of tears that blurred her vision. Pushing herself up onto her elbows, Jada wiped her ch
