Chapter 216.
Jessica stood there in shock, caring at the man in front of her.
“The CEO of the Langstone family p>
She could hardly believe what she had just heard.
After everything that had happened with Mr. Smith, Jessica had become extremely cautious about people claiming to be wealthy or powerful.
She had nearly fallen victim to an identity scam before, and she had sworn never to fall for such nonsense again.
Jessica scoffed. “Don’t try to fool me with such cheap tricks p>
Jackson raised an eyebrow. “Cheap tricks p>
“The Langstone family?” Jessica said with a disbelieving laugh. “Come on. Do you really expect me to believe that p>
Jackson simply smiled. “Yeah. I know it’s difficult to believe p>
He looked completely relaxed. “But I really am Jackson Langstone p>
Jessica narrowed her eyes.
She couldn’t understand why he would make such an outrageous claim after helping her. If he wanted her number, he could have simply asked without pretending to be the heir of one of the most powerful families in the city.
“I appreciate you saving me back there,” Jessica said.
“But whatever you’re trying to do now, I’m not interested p>
Jackson didn’t argue.
Instead, he nodded and said. “You don’t have to believe me. Do some research p>
Jessica frowned.
“Research p>
Jackson nodded. “Come back to this same coffee shop tomorrow after that By then, you’ll know whether I was telling the truth p>
Jessica stared at him.
With that, Jackson turned around and began walking away.
Jessica remained standing there.
She watched him disappear into the crowd, her expression filled with confusion.
Who was this man? Was he really the heir of the Langstone family? Or was this simply another elaborate trick?
Jessica quickly returned home.
The moment she entered her room, she pulled out her phone.
She sat down and immediately opened her browser.
“Jackson Langstone p>
She typed his name into the search bar.
The results appeared almost instantly.

Jessica’s eyes widened
There were dozens of articles about him.
Jackson Langstone Announces Himself as the Secret Heir of the Langstone Empire. The Mysterious Heir of the Langstone Family Finally Revealed.
Jessica stared at the screen in disbelief.
She remembered seeing those headlines the previous week The news had spread across the internet almost overnight.
At the time, everyone had been talking about the mysterious heir who had suddenly appeared
But Jessica hadn’t paid much attention to it.
Now, however, she couldn’t help scrolling through the articles. Her expression slowly became more serious.
The reports claimed that Jackson Langstone had officially revealed his identity. There were even photographs of him appearing at several high-profile events.
But what surprised Jessica the most was there had been no official statement from the Langstone family denying the reports. If Jackson was a fraud, surely the Langstone family would have immediately exposed him.
Yet they hadn’t. Jessica swallowed.
“Could he really be telling the truth p>
She stared at Jackson’s photograph on the screen and it was the same man’s face.
Jessica leaned back against her chair. if this was real, this would be a life changing opportunity to her.
Just as she was still thinking about it, the door suddenly opened.Jessica looked up.
Travis walked into the room.
He immediately rushed toward her.
“Jessica p>
She frowned. “What is it p>
Travis hesitated. “Can I borrow some money from you p>
Jessica’s expression immediately changed.
Travis had been borrowing large amounts of money from her repeatedly recently.
She was beginning to become suspicious about where all the money was going.
“How much p>
Travis rubbed the back of his neck.
“Hmm…” He looked uncomfortable. “Maybe around four million dollars p>
Jessica froze. For a moment, she thought she had heard him wrong.
“Four million p>
Travis nodded awkwardly.
Jessica suddenly burst out laughing. “Are you crazy p>

Her laughter slowly faded as she stared at him.

“You keep getting more and more brazen.” She pointed at him. “You seriously expect me to give you four million dollars? For fucking what p>
Travis quickly raised his hands. I
“Just lend it to me. i will return it p>
Jessica scoffed. “Lend it to you? What work are you doing that will guarantee you’ll be able to pay me back p>
Travis remained silent.
Jessica’s suspicion deepened.
“I don’t know what you’ve been using my money for recently. But I’m done. I won’t lend you another dime p>
Travis’s expression immediately darkened.
“Really p>
Jessica crossed her arms. “Yes.
Travis stared at her for several seconds.
Then his expression suddenly changed.
A strange smile appeared on his face.
“In that case, I’ll tell everyone about you and my sister p>
Jessica’s body froze. Her eyes widened in shocked, and surprised. She started trembling.
Travis continued watching her reaction. “I’ll tell them what you really did p>
Jessica couldn’t move.
Her hands slowly tightened. “what….what did you mean by that! I did nothing p>
Travis smirked. “You think I don’t know? I’ve always known, That what makes you guilty and took me in p>
Jessica’s face became pale.
Travis’s expression softened slightly. “I would never forgotten that you took me in when I needed help. So please, let’s not go down that route p>
He looked at her pleadingly. “Just lend me the money p>
Jessica’s hands began trembling. She knew exactly what Travis was threatening to expose. The room became completely silent.
Travis watched her carefully.
Then he sighed. “I’m sorry. I’m really sorry for threatening you. Please, Jessica p>
His voice became desperate.
“Just lend me the money, and I promise I’ll never threaten you like this again p>
Jessica remained silent. Her fingers trembled around her phone. She knew she shouldn’t do it that she was being manipulated. But the secret Travis was holding over her was something she couldn’t afford to let him reveal.
After several moments, Jessica finally closed her eyes.
Then she opened her banking application.
Travis watched closely.
Jessica entered the amount. Her hands were still shaking.
A few seconds later, she confirmed the transfer
The money was sent.
Travis looked at his phone.
A smile slowly appeared on his face.
“Thank You p>
