Jessica's eyes were like saucers, wide with a mixture of awe and disbelief as she took in Lincoln's prese
Gosh!
What had I just seen!
Lincoln, one of the top assistants in the business world, driving Reggie and Isabel around like a chauffeur, huh?
"This... this can't be reall
Jessica's eyes flew open like startled owls as she watched the car disappear.
In that instant, a daring idea sparked in her mind.
The idea was taking root and rapidly growing into a full-fledged plan.
"It has to be!" she muttered to herself, her disbelief slowly turning into certainty.
Why else would Lincoln be driving Reggie and Isabel? Why else would the receptionist at the company have treated her so dismissively during her interview? And why else would Lincoln have defended Isabel earlier? And then there was the name of the company-1.2. Corporation.
"Gosh!" Jessica was beyond shocked, her rhund racing before a burst of wild joy overtook her.
My ex-boyfriend had become the owner of a company. This meant I could be a rich, pampered wife soon!
Without wasting another second, Jessica hailed a taxi and followed them all the way to Vermillion Maple Restaurant.
"Reggie!" Jessica ran over and blocked Reggie's path as soon as they got out of the car. "I'm so sorry. It was my fault. I shouldn't have broken up with you, but it wasn't entirely my fault, either. It was because-
"You're right," Isabel cut in, her tone dripping with sarcism. "It wasn't entirely your fault. It's my brother's fault. Blame him for ruining his face and making you feel disgusted. Blame him for leaving the Zimmermans, so you couldn't become some wealthy young madam. Blame him for not being able to satisfy your insatiable need for luxury."
Isabel's words were sharp and cutting, leaving Jessica's face alternating between red and purple from embarrassment and fury. But she swallowed her pride and held back her temper
You wretched girl, you just wait. Once I become your sister-in-law, I'll make sure your brother throws your out of the Jamily!
"I didn't mean it like that," Jessica snapped, unwilling to waste time bickering with Isabel. She turned her teary eyes back to Reggie, her voice trembling. "Reggie we've been through so much together. I can't just let go, Honestly, ever since we broke up, I haven't been able to eat or sleep properly. I've been miserable, heartbroken, and-"
"Is that so? You look like you've gained some weight. I can see a little belly there. Don't tell me you've been stress-eating ever since you broke up with my brother, Isabel interrupted, her gaze fixed on Jessica's

Jessica glared at Isabel, fury flashing in her eyes.

The nerve of that woman! Calling me fat? She's the one who needs to lay off the pastries! And her who am
matter!
Taking a deep breath to calm herself, Jessica turned back to Reggie, ready to continue, but Reggie spoke before she could.
"I must have been blind to date someone as shallow and opportunistic as you for so long. I used to think back on the good times we had, but now I'm just disgusted." Disgusted?
Reggie had actually said I disgusted him!
Jessica's face twisted with anger, and she couldn't hold back any longer.
She screamed at Reggie. This isn't my fault! What woman doesn't want to be with a capable, successful man? That's just nature! When you left the Zimmermans and were broke, why should I have stuck around and suffered with you? Why?" Isabel stepped forward, positioning herself between Reggie and Jessica.
"You're right, you have the right to make your own choices. But my brother also has the right to make his. And he would never choose someone like you-someone who only shares the good times but runs away at the first sign of trouble. So from now on, stay away from my brother. You're an eyesore."
"Isabel! You're despicable!" Jessica enraged, lunged at Isabel, her fingers clawing toward Isabel's face. But before she could make contact, Reggie grabbed her wrist.
"Let go!"
Reggie's face was cold with anger, and he shoved Jessici away from them with enough force that she stumbled back several steps.
Jessica's face turned all shades of red, green, and purple in her fury, her emotions flashing across her face like a malfunctioning traffic light.
"You lied to me, manipulated my feelings, and now you want to hurt my sister?" Reggie snapped. His protective stance in front of Isabel radiating with cold hostility.
His eyes were sharp, icy, and unyielding. Jessica was stunned, her mouth opening and closing as she struggled to process this side of Reggie. She had never seen him so angry, so fierce.
It had to be Isabel! Isabel must have been whispering terrible things about me into Reggie's ear!
Her fury burning hotter, Jessica shot Isabel

ly raised an eyebrow and smiled, her eyes sparkling with amusement.
She's smiling? Jessica thought, enraged beyond belief.

She was curious to see what Eva was up to.

Now that is a beauty! A total knockout!" Max pointed excitedly at Isabel. "Xander, look over there! I've got my eye on her!"
