After hearing that Jessica was going on a business trip, Michael originally nned to tag along, but unexpectedly, Jessica went off without saying a word.
Michael couldn’t get in touch with Shannon, nor find out where Jessica had gone.
On the 10th of January, as soon as Jessica arrived at thepany, she heard that Michael was in the
lounge.
“What is he doing here?” Jessica was curious.
Shannon said, “Maybe he hasn’t been able to find you recently. ording to your instructions, all activities rted to Jason have been stopped, including filming, and right now they are focusing on Zack’s filming.”
“Okay. You have to be clear about the focus between the high–end and low–end lines. Zack is way more
popr than Jason.”
“So Michael isn’t happy about this. That’s why he came looking for you at thepany<b>, </b>and he arrived
early this morning.”
Fortunately<b>, </b>Jessica came up using the dedicated elevator, so she didn’t pass by the lounge entrance and
wasn’t noticed by Michael.
Jessica thought for a moment and said, “Tell Michael that I’m going straight to my mom’s house after
Knowing Michael’s temper, he would definitely go after her.
<b>It </b>seemed like that getting rid of him was impossible.
Shannon handed Jessica several files, including preparations for the Summit Infirmary’s IPO and various government–issued certificates.
“All clear<b>, </b>no problems.”
“Hey-”
Shannon was about to leave and inform Michael when Jessica stopped her.
She felt this couldn’t go on like this. Since she nned to break up with Michaelpletely, there was no need to keep their past ties. She also didn’t want Chris to keep suffering silently.
Some things had to be made clear.
The timing was just right. Whatever she said to Michael now wouldn’t affect their ns.

“Tell Michael toe in.”
Shannon had worked with Jessica for many years and immediately saw that Jessica was about to
confess something.
“Are you sure about this, Ms. Wilder?” asked Shannon.
“Yes. We’re going to be opponents in the future anyway and I still want to help Jaden return to the Hall family. Being entangled endlessly with Michael is disrespectful to Jaden. If that’s the case, I might as well make things clear.”
“Okay, I’ll go get Michael for you.”
Michael had waited several hours and finally Jessica arrived at thepany. He hurried anxiously to the
CEO office.
Coffee was ready inside, and as soon as Michael entered, he could smell Jessica’s distinctive fragrance.
If it weren’t for Chris, everything Jessica owned would belong to him.
If Chris hadn’t appeared, Jessica wouldn’t have impulsively married him.
Michael felt that ording Jessica’s nature, she would have waited for him in Cheria, and she would have epted him even if he had a child.
Besides, he could see that Jessica liked Jordan.
The only obstacles were Chris and Mrs. Wilder.
With that thought in mind, Michael was already plotting his next move.
“Jessica, you’re finally back. The trip must have been tiring. I booked a restaurant to wee you back,” Michael said warmly as he tried to walk around the desk and approach Jessica.
Jessica raised one hand, palm outward–a clear gesture of refusal.
“Take a seat first. I have something to tell you.”
Seeing Jessica’s serious expression, Michael felt a vague unease. Could it be about Jason?
Actually, after calming down these past few days, Michael felt he had been too awkward.
<b>It </b>was just that he had resented Jessica’s coldness and used work as an excuse to take up her time.
They weren’t teenagers anymore. Acting like this was childish and annoying.
Michael had been trying to exin to Jessica during the past few days but never got the chance.
“Jason can return to work tomorrow. I’ve already asked his agent to clear all his schedule. Nothing is
more important than you, Jessica.”
