Semua Bab THE REVENGE OF THE CHUBBY HEIRESS: Bab 151 - Bab 160

STEPHENI am watching from inside the house. Jessie is out on the front porch with Tina. I hate that she is in that dress. I hate the entire situation. Tina was brushing off her dress and fixing the neck. She had done it a million times. From the top floor, I could see her shaky fingers as she brushed against Jessie’s clothes and face. I have seen how hard Jessie has worked. If I shut it down now, it means I am not as supportive as I should be. I want to be supportive. I want to stand beside her, behind her and even in front of her to protect her as much as I can. I just want to trust her. She looked up at the window and caught my eye. Her lips curved into a smile, the kind that melted me at once. She waved. I hesitated, my hands still crossed over my body. She frowned and pouted slightly. I pulled away and waved back. The main gates opened, and a black limo sped through the path and stopped in front of her. Mateo stepped down. He handed her a bouquet of daisies. “Jessie doesn

JESSIEWe stepped back into the hall. As soon as the door opened, everyone’s attention turned to us. Isabella was the star of the night, while in my case, I was being seen with the very man I was accused of cheating with. Stephen’s cheating allegations were speculations. No one actually knew the face of the said woman. "Don't let them get to you." Mateo leaned in to whisper. I looked up at him, and he smiled. The crowd were not stopping their whispering. Not any time soon, and Mateo was not helping.Isabella made her way to the stage where her father was waiting for her. He took the centre stage and began to address everyone. “The Rockefeller group was attacked by some insiders, but at the end of the day, we managed to show everyone why a long line of legacy is the best." Isabella was brimming with pride by his side as he continued to speak about legacy and their name. If only they knew that after tonight, their name would mean nothing more. “Tonight is about partnership and a

JESSIE“The police were supposed to be guarding Lauren." Daniel nodded once and looked up from his phone. “She bribed a nurse who helped her out under the guise of going for a test. She didn't return," he explained. “She managed to slip out? Even with the police watching, I ran my finger over my face with my head hanging low. “It seems she had been communicating with Isabella. The police are already investigating the nurse, but she claims she doesn't know anything more than helping Lauren to the lab." “And she ran off? What did she promise? Freedom?" Daniel’s gaze was all I needed to know my mother had believed Isabella's words. How gullible.“What of Tiffany?” “She left with an unknown person a few hours ago from the house," he paused. “Was it a kidnapping?” I asked. “As of now, it seems she left willingly. I am pulling the security footage and trying to determine where they could have gone," he explained. His eyes were roaming as if he were trying to avoid mine. His lips w

JESSIEIt's been three hours since Mateo’s call. I could barely keep my breathing in check. My heart rate kept on spiking. A mole...Someone I trusted. Someone I thought I could trust. I blinked and stared at the dress still hanging on the closet door. Only a handful of people knew about the dress switch. I blinked, keeping my eyes closed. Everything began to fall into place. How Mateo magically knew everything. How he managed to show up even when it was physically impossible. Stephen lowered himself onto the couch beside me. He grabbed my shoulders, and I melted into him. My head pressed into his chest as I took a deep breath. He brushed the back of my head gently. “I got you," he whispered into my head. I have no idea how long we stayed together. We finally pulled away, and even though I was hurting, I pushed it aside. I had no time to break down. Timothy was in danger. “We need first to fish out the mole. " Stephen said. “Once dawn breaks, let's have everyone who knew abou

JESSIEChloe is still kneeling.Both hands on his knees with slumped shoulders. She is looking at me like she would break at the slightest contact. I drew a sharp breath. She was never on my side. The only reason she had come close was to destroy me. I had thought she was my person, but in reality, she was never by my side. “Daniel”, I muttered with the phone against my ear. “I am on my way to you, ma'am," Daniel said with a sharp breath. “Mr Chase has notarised the document." “You can't give it to him," Chloe said in a sharp tone. She was trying to reach out, but she stayed kneeling. "Isn't that what you wanted?” I asked slowly, trying to hear her. “For him to take the company away from me” “Not now…not anymore.” She shook her head. It was always fantasising about how evil people worked. Once their interests were threatened, they didn't mind wrecking others just so they could survive. “Get here now," I said to the phone. “I will do anything," Chloe said again. She was beggin
