Semua Bab Divorced, Dazzling, and Desired: Bab 441 - Bab 450

Renee went out of her way to list the perks of a secret affair, but her smile was forced and there was a troubled look in her eyes.Pausing, she then added, "Oh, and another thing—you're the heir of the Zeller family legacy, and your parents will definitely arrange your marriage. Just tell me when it happens, and I won't stubbornly cling to you or refuse to leave. However…"Looking him in the eye, she finished mischievously, "Please make sure to tip me generously, alright?"Jasper was no fool—how could he not understand how Renee really felt?He was already sick of all the phone calls from home, and it was natural that at least one reached her.And he knew best what his own family was like, and that Renee must have been given grief.He thus understood that his behavior was selfish too—desiring Renee, but not having the strength to stop the world from hurting her.Not being able to create a shelter for her was his failure and his alone!Having made up his mind, Jasper reached ou

Still, Renee remained rational and reminded Jasper again. "You should go, or you'll miss your flight.""I can't leave without you.""It's just for a while. It's not like someone's going to die…"Jasper pursed his lips in exasperation but had to make it quick as she asked.When it was done, Renee lay limply in bed and told him again, "I'm tired—let me sleep. Just go already."Hence, despite all his reluctance, Jasper restrained himself and hurried to the bathroom.After a shower and getting changed, he returned to the bed, reaching out to touch Renee's face.Her eyes were closed, and her breathing a steady rhythm.Though she appeared asleep, her twitching lashes exposed her.Still, Jasper didn't expose her and instead leaned down to kiss her forehead. "I'll be back."He became even more reluctant to leave and sat on bed to kiss her lips.He smiled faintly as she kept playing dead and didn't respond, brushing her hair behind her ear.Then, as if by magic, a necklace appeared

Renee looked up at Sam, but seeing that he was carrying nothing, she asked, "Is there something wrong?""Yeah." Sam nodded as he sat on the couch. "The Aifred project is running smoothly, but capital is a problem. We're just starting to bring in profits with Project Poochie, but we're still tight on cash if we can't find new investors…"He trailed off, but he had really said all that needed to be said.Renee asked, "How short are we?""Shy off hitting a minor objective, and we're still short-handed—and we're talking to at least twenty skilled laborers…"Sam quickly summarized the situation: they lacked money, human resources, and even lab space.It hurt Renee's head to hear it, as they were merely renting out the fourth floor of an office building—office expansion and recruitment was going to be difficult.With the rest of the building rented out, trying to rent more space would be difficult.On top of that, Alison was gone, and half of Genome Tech's shares had been sold to a s

Renee remembered to leave Yondu an email and a backup number so they could contact each other easily.The next day, she woke up early and glanced at Wally as it hopped around her feet, deciding to hire someone who would walk the dog. After all, she really had no time to spare when things got really busy—she would count on Candy, but the girl was busier than she was.Later, after the usual morning meetings, Renee had Freya ask the owner of the office building to see if there were empty lots, while arranging for human resources to post recruitment ads.She was just finished when her phone rang on her desk, and she quickly picked it up, her eyes glowing with anticipation… only for that glow to fade right away when she saw that it was Adam.Still, she swiped to answer. "What is it?""Renee, I…" Adam missed her as it had been a while, but he ultimately did not tell her that after much hesitation.If he did, she would simply block him again.Instead, he said, "I've learned about Pro

Rodney and Felix quickly chimed in too."Oh, just look at him, forgetting his manners.""That woman must have poisoned his mind…"Hearing their bullshit, Jasper glared coldly at them. "In that case, why don't you have your daughters marry William?""What…" Ben was stumped, but he thought about it and said, "My daughter is still young. Also, William is only interested in Renee, isn't he?"Rodney nodded. "Exactly. If William is interested in my daughter, she will have my consent.""Me too," Felix agreed. "I mean, it's a small price to pay for the family to thrive. My daughter will never refuse."Donald nodded as he listened to his sons, stopping short of rubbing it in Jasper's face.But Jasper simply took it in stride. "Oh, but William will be interested, my dear uncles—just send all your daughters over, and William will happily accept them."Seeing them blanching, he smiled and continued, "Oh, and don't bother doubting me, because I've spoken to him personally. We both agreed w
