All Chapters of The Prison Bride: Chapter 261 - Chapter 270

As Jessie remained silent, the online uproar only went further out of control.Most people online sympathized with Laura, believing she had sacrificed so much as a mother in the Stewart family. Many thought the Stewart family's actions back then were out of desperation, and that the case should be retried.Jessie could be found not guilty, they said, but the entire Stewart family didn't need to go to prison.No one knew how many of those voices were genuine and how many were planted.Jessie checked the trending list every day.The Stewart family case kept climbing into the top ten, over and over again. One side stood by the law, saying Jessie had been wronged and the accomplices should pay the price. The other side sympathized with Laura, saying the family had only done what they had to.Now, Jessie was losing ground. She was being accused of taking her own family to court just to seize control of Stewart Tech.The Judd family's leaks were vicious.Every detail of her shares wa

Mr. Canberra's argument completely shifted the nature of the case.He suggested that Jessie's motive for going to prison wasn't pure, and that meant she was no longer the innocent, pitiful victim everyone thought she was.Instead, she became the mastermind, someone who manipulated everyone and used the law as a weapon to seize power and wealth.In court, that kind of framing was devastating."Mr. Canberra, Jessie had already been accepted into Craymore College back then. She had a bright future ahead of her. There was absolutely no reason for her to take the fall. As for her shares, she inherited 10 percent from David. The remaining ten percent simply made her holdings equal to Mark's. What's wrong with that?"At that point, Jessie's lawyer was clearly at a disadvantage."But according to my findings, Jessie didn't own any shares in the past. So if she really had her grandfather's love, why didn't he transfer those shares to her before his death?"Jessie remained silent the whol

"Why aren't you looking at me?" Jack leaned back on his bed. He sounded relaxed and slightly amused. Jessie sighed dramatically. "The company's R&D department is a mess. The proposals they've submitted these past few days are all terrible. Not one of them is worth approving. The products are awful.""Not everyone's as capable as you. You can train them. These people live off project commissions. The more they earn, the more loyal they'll be to you. Once the core team stands with you, those old geezers on the board will have no choice but to follow your lead," Jack said with a smirk.Jessie glanced at him. "The R&D department's been pretty cheerful lately since they've got projects to work on. I'll spend some time working with them later."She knew she couldn't focus on that now with her case still hanging over her."When I get back, I'll help you with it. Don't stress over the case." Jack lifted his hand to the camera and pretended to pat her head through the screen.Jessie watc

"When Mom passed away, I wasn't some clueless toddler," Jack said calmly.Though his last name was Gerome, he had always considered himself part of the Bailey family.Wilson sighed and said nothing more."I'll stay with you three more days, then I have to head back to Rossenville City. The Judds have shifted the focus of her case. They're trying to stop her from getting a not-guilty verdict. I need to return and handle it."Jack captured Wilson's last chess piece, leaned back in his chair, and smiled. "You're about to lose."Wilson picked up the king and studied the chessboard for a moment. "I'm old now and not as sharp as you. Playing with David was much more fun. What a shame."Jack began packing up the chessboard and casually asked, "So, you still haven't found any trace of Mia overseas?""Once someone leaves the country and hides their identity, it's not that easy to track. You better be prepared. She's most likely had plastic surgery and changed her identity so you won't be

Jack jabbed Ronny in the stomach."Ouch!" Ronny flinched from the pain.Jessie laughed at their silly behavior.When Jack was cooking, he didn't let Ronny or Harry help. Jessie stayed in the kitchen instead and kept him company."You should go watch some TV. It'll be ready soon," Jack told her.Jessie leaned closer and whispered, "I'm starving. Can I have just one crab first?"Jack smiled. He lifted the lid off the steamer and pulled out a freshly cooked crab.Jessie reached out to take it, but Jack immediately held it up high. "It's hot. I'll crack it open for you. Did you already forget you hurt your hand last time trying to do it yourself?""I'll be careful this time. Get back to cooking. I can handle it just fine," Jessie said before reaching for the crab again.Her focus was entirely on the steaming crab.Out of nowhere, Jack leaned in and kissed her on the corner of her lips.His lips were warm and soft.His scent washed over her, and for a moment, her mind went compl
