All Chapters of The Prison Bride: Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

Jessie smiled sarcastically."A misunderstanding? Don't you know what kind of people make up the R&D Department? If you're so confused, why don't you ask your friend, Denise?"Mia had thought she had covered her tracks flawlessly, but against the entire R&D Department—people who spent their lives coding—trying to play such games was nothing but asking for trouble.Denise who was still reeling from Frank's outburst, began to piece things together. She turned to Mia and demanded, "You asked me about Frank's information just so you could doctor photos and spread rumors about Jessie and him?""No! I was really worried about my sister–""Worried? So worried you went behind her back to use Photoshop and slander her as a mistress? Don't bother denying it. I've already restored the audio from your little coffee shop chat through surveillance tech. I know every single word you said. The evidence is right here, and another copy has already gone to upper management."He glared at Mia as he

"Yes, killing her won't solve anything. So what, I'm supposed to beg her instead? She ruined my life! She destroyed my reputation, and I'll never work in design again! If you still call her your daughter, then I might as well just die!"With that, Mia headed to the kitchen to grab a knife.Laura threw her arms around her and sobbed."Mia, as long as you're alive, anything is still possible. Why are you always talking about death? There will be a way through this, I promise!""Will Mia's death make you happy?" Bruce asked Jessie in a hoarse and exhausted voice."If Mia still had any conscience after all your careful nurturing, she'd admit her mistake, apologize, and ask my forgiveness. But instead she comes home and throws the blame on me."Jessie's gaze swept over the entire Stewart family. She smiled sarcastically."I was almost branded the company mistress, humiliated in public, drenched with juice, and shamed across the internet. And you locked me at home, trying to force me

The moment Laura heard Jessie's uncompromising words, she quickly spoke up."Jessie, why would you say such things? Your father only went to your grandfather out of worry for the company. No matter what happens, we're still a family."Jessie ignored her completely. Her eyes locked on Bruce."I'll take Grandpa with me. In exchange, the hit-and-run stays buried."She wasn't going to give the Stewarts any more leeway. If they didn't yield tonight, she would make the truth of Mia's car accident public.Laura's throat felt dry. Realizing Jessie wasn't bluffing, she quickly reached out and clutched her hand."Jessie, try to understand your father–"Jessie cut her off with a harsh look."Understand what? That Mia wants me destroyed, and I'm supposed to repay her by covering up her filth? By whitewashing her record at York Enterprise?"Her words left Laura speechless."Your grandfather is part of the Stewart family. If you want to leave, go, but not with him."Bruce's tone was firm.

Timothy was waiting outside the Stewart family estate. He greeted Jessie with a smile."Ms. Jessie, all packed up?""Yeah." Jessie walked over with light footsteps.That morning, Timothy had told her David was already being transferred. Only she and Jack would know where he was going. As long as she kept silent, the Stewart family would never find him.Finally, she was leaving this swamp behind. Jessie felt an indescribable lightness.Upstairs in his bedroom, Bruce was stretching by the window when he saw Timothy's car waiting and Jessie walking over to it. He froze.It wasn't until she got into the car and Timothy drove off that he snapped out of it. He rushed downstairs."Why didn't you stop her?"By the time he came down, the car was already gone. His frustration boiled over, and he snapped at Mark and Laura.Laura's eyes were filled with tears as she murmured, "Did we really do something wrong?""What wrong could we have done as her parents?" Bruce shot back irritably. Th

Jack's friends were laughing so hard that they nearly doubled over.Jessie pursed her lips. After a moment, she forced down her embarrassment and replied as calmly as she could, "Yes, it's work-related. Sorry. Give me the flash drive back, and, happy birthday."Jack tucked the flash drive into his pocket."It's confiscated."Ronny was laughing so hard he nearly fell off his chair."Jack, you've gotten all sorts of weird gifts over the years, but this one? This one takes the crown."Jessie was speechless."Alright, enough. It's the thought that counts."A kind-looking man walked over and patted Ronny on the shoulder.Ronny stopped laughing at her, straightened up, and said in mock seriousness, "Since you're here, join us. You just got off work, right? Have you eaten?"Jessie thought he talked way too much, but since it sounded like a genuine offer, she nodded."Yeah. I just got off.""Come on then, have a seat."Ronny pulled her toward the group until she found herself sitt
