Meanwhile, Jackson and Jessica’s relationship continued to flourish. Things had changed dramatically for Jessica in a short period of time, and much of it had started after Jackson helped her secure a partnership with Langstone.
But that was only the beginning.
Jessica had managed to turn the opportunity into something much bigger. She invested her earnings wisely, expanded her business interests, and made several successful investments that continued generating substantial returns. Before long, she had become one of the most talked-about young businesswomen in the city.
That evening, she and Jackson were celebrating privately at a luxurious hotel.
Jessica stood near the large window overlooking the city, holding a glass of juice as she stared at the lights below. A smile remained on her face.
“None of this would have happened if it wasn’t for you, Jackson,” she said softly. “You really turned my life around p>
Jackson smiled and walked toward her.
“Well, I did nothing,” he replied. “You worked hard to get yourself here p>
Jessica turned around and laughed. “Babe, don’t try to be humble. You know you helped me p>
Jackson wrapped his arms around her from behind.
Jessica leaned against him, still smiling.
Sometimes, she still couldn’t believe how different her life had become. Not long ago, she had been struggling to find her footing. Now, she was sitting in one of the most expensive hotels in the city, with businesses, investments, and opportunities she had once only dreamed about.
She looked outside again.
“I honestly didn’t think my life could change this much in such a short time p>
Jackson smiled.
Jessica turned around to face him as Jackson leaned closer and kissed her gently from behind.
“Hmm,” he murmured playfully. “How about we go one round p>
Jessica immediately laughed.
“I am tired right now. let have it tomorrow please p>
“But I need it now, babe,” Jackson said with a playful smile. “Please p>
Jessica was about to respond when she suddenly froze.
A sharp pain twisted through her stomach.

Her smile disappeared.
She immediately placed a hand over her abdomen.
“Wait p>
Jackson’s expression changed. “Jessica p>
She covered her mouth.
Then she rushed toward the bathroom.
Jackson quickly followed her, but stopped outside when he heard her vomiting.
“Jessica, are you okay p>
For several seconds, there was no response.
Then Jessica flushed the toilet and leaned against the sink, breathing heavily. She had been feeling heavy and nausea recently.
She looked at herself in the mirror, and decided to go to the hospital and have herself checked up.
Meanwhile, across the city, Cory sat inside an expensive restaurant with Julia. They had been discussing the construction deal for nearly an hour.
The project was worth forty million dollars, but Julia had offered Cory a ten-million-dollar discount, bringing his total payment down to thirty million.
Cory looked over the documents again.
Everything appeared to be in order.
He picked up the pen and glanced at Julia.
“So, where am I going to sign p>
Cory was so eager to sign that Julia couldn’t help but notice something strange about his behavior. He had barely finished reading the final page before reaching for the pen.
She leaned slightly toward him.
“Hmm. Is everything okay, Cory? Do you have somewhere to be p>
Cory immediately smiled and shook his head.
“No, no. Why are you asking p>
Julia studied him for a moment. “You’re just unusually eager to finish this p>
Cory laughed lightly.
“I’m simply delighted to help you with the project. That’s all p>
Julia nodded, though she still found his behavior slightly unusual. “Alright. Here p>

She pushed the contract toward him.
Cory immediately signed it.
The moment he finished, Julia didn’t waste any time either. She picked up her phone and authorized the transfer.
A few seconds later, Cory’s phone vibrated.
He checked the notification.
His eyes widened slightly when he saw the payment.
Forty million dollars.
A huge smile slowly spread across his face.
“Well,” he said, placing his phone down. “The work starts now p>
Julia smiled. “Yes p>
Cory hesitated before asking, “You haven’t told Marcus yet, right p>
Julia shook her head.
“Don’t worry. I’ll tell him next week p>
Cory nodded. “Good p>
With the deal completed, Cory finally relaxed. He ordered an extremely expensive meal, something he normally wouldn’t have considered spending money on.
Tonight was different. He had money.
A lot of it.
After finishing his third meal and saying goodbye to Julia, Cory left the restaurant with a grin he couldn’t hide.
He drove home with a completely different mindset.
The moment he entered his house, his smile slowly faded into a serious expression.
The next thing he needed to do was run. He had to get out of the country.
The bureau still hadn’t contacted him, which meant they were probably still investigating everything.
And Julia had promised not to tell Marcus about the deal until the following week.
That gave him time. He had successfully deceived Julia.
At least, that was what he believed.
Cory had barely settled doww, when his phone rang.
He looked at the screen.

Matrix.
His brows immediately furrowed before he answered.
“Hello p>
“Cory!” Matrix’s excited voice came through. “Did you hear p>
“Hear what p>
“Gabriel called us out for dinner tomorrow at the Hera Hotel p>
Cory frowned.
Gabriel.
Of all of them, Gabriel was the richest and most influential. If he was calling them together, there had to
be a reason.
“For what?” Cory asked.
Matrix lowered his voice slightly.
“He has a business deal for us. And listen to this-he said each of us will get twenty million dollars immediately p>
Cory’s eyes widened.
“Twenty million p>
“Yes, yes! Gabriel really needs us for this. I heard the deal could yield a huge result. I’m calling to find out if you received the invitation too p>
Before Cory could answer, another call suddenly appeared on his screen.
Gabriel. Cory stared at it for a second.
“Hold on. Gabriel is calling me p>
He ended the call with Matrix and immediately answered.
“Hello p>
Gabriel confirmed exactly what Matrix had told him and invited him personally.
“I’ll be there,” Cory replied quickly. “I definitely will p>
After hanging up, Cory leaned back and smiled.
Twenty million dollars.
Added to the forty million he had just received, that would give him sixty million.
With sixty million dollars, he could disappear and start an entirely new life in another country. Cory reconsidered his plan to leave immediately.
4/6
He would stay.
Just until tomorrow night.
