In the ward, Jasper was sitting up in front of a laptop and in a video conference.He smiled at her as she entered and pointed at the couch, clearly to tell her to sit and wait.Renee put the container on the table and let the steam flow out while the soup cooled, so it wouldn't scald.Then, she sat on the couch, watching as Jasper spoke in a foreign language with the person on the other end.Somehow, it felt like he was glowing and overflowing with charm.It was exactly as they said—that men were most attractive while being serious at work.Over ten minutes later, the video conference ended and Jasper closed his laptop. "Sorry to keep you waiting—trouble at a factory abroad.""It's fine. The soup is still warm, so you should drink it soon." Renee went over and poured a bowl for him. "I'm not sure what you like, but mushroom soup should help your stomach."Jasper took the bowl and sniffed it. "It smells good. Looks good too.""Alright, take your time—I'll be going now," she sa

"What…"Fuming, Renee simply took a deep breath and stayed silent.Jasper had rashes because of his allergy, but it was like the rashes had a mind of their own and grew only on his torso—there wasn't any sign of any on his neck or cheek.And the man himself calmly unbuttoned his shirt and took it off, baring his muscular chest.Renee had never seen him topless and was as satisfied as she was in awe at how good he looked.He was definitely a model, with his broad chest and slender waist, looking slender with a shirt on but muscular without!That was when Jasper pointed at her lips. "Ms. Whitley… You're drooling." "What?"Renee's eyes widened as she quickly wiped her mouth, but when she felt nothing, she shot him an angry look again. "Haha, you're so funny.""Heh." Jasper chuckled cheerfully, his clear voice making it clear that he was pleased.Then, he added, "You can stare all you want. I won't charge you since we're friends.""Shut up. Who's staring?" Renee pouted as she s

Renee wasn't exaggerating either, as the average person couldn't even begin to imagine the millions that the rich would spend on skincare or general upkeep of their appearance.Naturally, it worked—why else would they spend so much on it?Moreover, women loved compliments, and Quincy was no exception.She touched her face with her palm, her smile even warmer now. "You sure have a way with words. I'd be a much happier mother if Allie were half as nice as you.""Allie has never been one for flattery, but her heart's in the right place," Renee explained.Quincy beamed. "Now, now. You don't have to go that far to defend her."They took the elevator upstairs, sharing a pleasant conversation as Renee took Quincy on a tour of the office floors and summarized their operations.Quincy had clearly presumed that Alison's company would be just some modest project, but she nodded in approval after Renee gave her a rundown. "It seems that I've underestimated Allie a little. I really thought s

Renee was speechless, but she knew Quincy wasn't about to let her off the hook.On the other hand, Jasper looked at her sideways. "Smart, you say? Not necessarily.""Watch it." Quincy smiled as she gave him a light smack, while turning to Renee. "Please don't mind him. He's always been like that."Renee smiled awkwardly. "Of course not.""And you—where's your manners?" Quincy sighed as she turned back to Jasper. "Anyway, I was just saying she's quite a fine lady…"Unable to get a word in, Renee simply kept her gaze lowered and nursed her tea.When she finished, she was about to pour herself another cup when Quincy finished, "Try to hook her up with some of your buddies—see if any of them are good enough for her."That really came out of nowhere, and Renee ended up spilling the tea all over the table."Sorry. My hand slipped," she said as she quickly and gingerly picked up a tissue to wipe the table, smiling so forcibly she was better off crying. "Also, thank you for your confid

Renee's heart skipped a beat when she saw the text, and she promptly called off the meeting while leaving the room.Phone in hand, she called Adam. "Are you saying my mom's gone missing?! Since when?!""They just called me about it," Adam assured her. "Just calm down for now—where are you? I'll come pick you up.""No. We'll meet at Evergreen," Renee replied and hung up.Returning to her office, she grabbed her bag and hurried downstairs, driving straight to Evergreen Care Center.It was the best nursing home in Harborview City, and it cost a lot, with each resident being assigned at least one or two care workers.When Renee arrived at Evergreen over an hour later and alighted, Adam's car arrived as well and stopped next to her.As Adam stepped out, he saw how distraught she looked and assured her, "Security is tight here. She probably never left the compound at all."Renee's eyes were red, and without saying a word, she turned and headed inside the nursing home.The entire fac
