All Chapters of The Prison Bride: Chapter 251 - Chapter 260

The only reason those clients were still willing to work with Stewart Tech was because of David's legacy. They trusted him enough to give the company one last chance.Now that he was gone, and with the company affected by the scandal, they weren't going to show Jessie the same respect."This industry's all about fame and profit. When you've got both, people treat you with respect. But the second you've got nothing to offer, they'll trample you without hesitation," Jack said.Ronny was driving, and he chimed in. "It's a brutal circle. Honestly, those three who came tonight already did you a favor. The ones who didn't bother to show up? That's the real picture. Just you wait. They'll find out Jack and I were there with you tonight, and they'll definitely want to meet again."Jessie blinked. "So, should I set it up?""Of course. Walking away from money for no reason doesn't make sense. After you arrange it, just give me a call," Jack replied calmly.Jessie looked at him and was spee

"Is an old song okay?" Jessie asked Samuel."Of course. Which one? Tell me and I'll put it in the queue!" Samuel answered right away."As You Wish by Freya West," she said."Wow, nice choice!" Samuel called out. "Jordan, you know the drill!"Samuel grabbed another microphone.Anyone who loved music respected Freya West as a singer."Do you like this song?" Jack leaned in and asked softly.Jessie nodded. "I do."She and Jack spoke in soft voices. One of Samuel's singer friends muttered under his breath, "She didn't pick that just to show off in front of Jack, did she?"Freya's voice was revered in the scene. Professionals didn't take covering her songs lightly.Picking that song felt like a deliberate move."Jack didn't even say anything, so mind your own business. This isn't a concert. She can sing whatever she wants. Say another word and I'll deck you," Samuel snapped with a frown.Even if some of them had reservations about Jessie, they covered it up out of respect for Ja

The next morning, Jessie went directly to the office.The meeting started at nine, and Jack called just as it began.As soon as she picked up, he asked, "Why didn't you tell me someone called you last night?""Oh, it wasn't anything important. There's a lot going on at the company. You were still asleep, so I just went ahead and left," Jessie said calmly."I'll come over and explain. Will you listen?" Jack asked."Your family might look down on mine for all the drama, but I don't like how you're always hiding things from me. I've got a lot to do today. Let's talk after work. Come pick me up, and we'll have dinner somewhere."She'd actually been planning to move in with him.Whether they got married or not, she had decided to take this relationship seriously.But after hearing him say he'd been genuinely in love with every girl before her, Jessie couldn't help but feel uncomfortable."Alright," Jack said. He hadn't expected things to blow up this fast.While Jessie was busy at

Jessie didn't know what Ronny was thinking. She simply said in a calm voice, "It's actually pretty ordinary between us."She felt that she and Jack were more like the slow-and-steady kind of couple."It's different," Ronny said.There were things Jessie didn't know. Jack's long-time crush on her had been anything but easy.When she returned to the Stewart family and fell for Henry, Jack knew about it.His friends might never know exactly how he felt back then, but it must've been miserable.He loved someone, but watched her chase after another man. He felt anger, jealousy, and heartbreak."What you don't know was how crazy he was about you," Harry teased."Can you guys shut up already?" Jack's cheeks turned red.Jessie knew it wasn't polite to pry into someone's private feelings, but curiosity still got the better of her.Resting her chin on her hand, she smiled and asked, "So tell me, what was so crazy about it?""I'll tell you after dinner, when we get home." Jack was visi

Bruce and the others really got lucky. Even after everything they had done, someone was still willing to spend money to defend them.It was all just to annoy Jessie.When Jessie arrived at the courthouse, her lawyer was already locked in a fierce debate with the lawyer Marie had hired for the Stewart family.Jessie sat in the audience seats.Her gaze was fixed on Bruce, Laura, and Mark.The two older ones looked haggard. They had their heads facing down the entire time, as if terrified to be seen.Mark, on the other hand, spotted her almost immediately.Seeing her so cold and distant made him feel sick.He'd heard Jessie hadn't planned to show up today, but that she'd come anyway after something changed.She must have been worried they might walk free."As far as I know, the defendant, Laura, has a serious case of insomnia. She's been hospitalized several times because of it, correct?" Marie's lawyer asked Laura.Laura looked up with vacant eyes and nodded slightly."Your H
