Love’s Final Reveal

Dominick placed the phone beside him and got up to freshen up.

“There is no need to rush. It’s Jenna and the Richardson family who should be worried. The Richardsons want to see me fail. Now, a whole day has passed, and my company remains unaffected. They must be anxious. When they are anxious, they can’t help but lose their composure.”

Ethan pondered for a moment and then nodded slightly. “Indeed.

Just as he finished speaking, a knock came from the door.

“I have to go. Something’s come up here.”

He then said, “Come in.”

Jenna cautiously pushed open the door. “Ethan, why hasn’t Lola come in today?”

Ethan’s eyes held a hint of scrutiny. “She’s not feeling well today, so she didn’t come to work. Do you need her for something”

Jenna thoughtfully nodded. “If Layla isn’t feeling well, how should we manage the company’s matters? Maybe I can take care of them for her and fill her in when she’s back tomorrow,

As Dominick had predicted, she couldn’t keep her cool for long-

“Layla is unwell, yet as her elder sister, you don’t seem too worried about her but more concerned about the company’s matters.” Ethan remarked with an ambiguous tone, causing Jenna’s expression to freeze.

“Of course, I’m worried about Layla. But knowing how dedicated she is, I thought she might still be thinking about the company. With so many things going on, if I manage them well, she can rest at home without any worries.”

Her excuse was quite reasonable. Jenna’s quick thinking had often left Lola at a disadvantage.

that much? It seems I misunderstood you. Don’t worry about the company. I can manage it.” Ethan

“So, you care about hert replied.

Jenna furrowed her brows slightly as if she had something to say, but she kept it to herself out of caution.

“Right, I shouldn’t worry about anything with you here. But if you get tired, please let me know. I understand the company well and can help share the burden.”

Her intentions were quite transparent, especially in front of Ethan.

“No worries, I’m not tired. Thank you for your concern.”

Ethan gave her no openings, leaving Jenna in a tough spot.

Her grandfather was pressing for results, but Ethan wasn’t giving her any chances, and it frustrated her.

Ethan stopped talking. The silence hung heavy as Jenna stood awkwardly in the office.

“Oh, by the way, Ethan, I heard from Layla that our company isn’t planning to collaborate with the Leroy Group anymore. Is that true? Has it been confirmed?” she probed indirectly.

Ethan didn’t rush to answer. Instead, he looked at her meaningfully.

“Didn’t you vehemently oppose the collaboration? No means no. Why don’t you believe it?”

Jenna’s expression was subtle. “I was just worried about Layla being taken advantage of. I’m glad to hear there’s no collaboration.”

Ter

questions seemed innocent, but each word was a test.

Ethan was cautious and gave vague answers, forcing Jenna to read between the lines

“Yes, there’s no collaboration,” he said after a pause, answering her question.

That’s good to hear. I’ll leave you to your work then?

So, there really was nu collaboration. The weight on Jenna’s heart finally lifted

As soon as Jenna left the office, she took out her phone and walked into a familiar couder Grandpa

“How is it? There is no collaboration with the Leroy Group, right? Patrick’s voice carried a hint of displeasure

Jenna breathed a sigh of relief. She said, “Yes, I just confirmed with Ethan again. They really aren’t redialerating Granulu you can proceed now The Leny Grup hauit recovered from the last sandal If yr art now, they won’t be able to withstand i

Patrick snorted, “Are you sure? Jenna, don’t disappoint me. But I feel like there’s nothing weeg with the Lemy Gmp at all Everything secins to be operating normally. There are no signs of trouble”

Jenna furrowed her brows slightly. “That shouldn’t be heard Ethan’s harsh words about Dominick the other day

“Ethan was especially harsh and even went to Dominick’s company to curse him out. They’ve fallen out, and the chances of collaboration are really slim. Leven saw Layla throw the contract in the trash with my own eyes.

“The Leroy Group may look line on the surface, but this could be a tactic by Dominick to protect himself. He’s smart and might have anticipated your move, so he’s putting up a front”

Patrick pondered and then said, “Good thinking, Jenna. You’ve really shown some insight”

Jenna relaxed, “Grandpa, it’s thanks to your guidance. But the decision is yours Just think aleat whether to proceed”

Patrick had his own considerations. He didn’t answer her question and ended the call

“Layla, I brought your favorite apple pie. Try it. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

“If you’re not feeling well, you shouldn’t go to work. You should just enjoy life and be happy. Why do you have to work? Scott fussed, setting out the sweets with care.

Lola picked a piece that looked particularly appetizing and took a bite. “Tin still young, and my health is improving. Don’t

Worry.

“Twe thought it over. I have to do this. Mom and Dad are getting older, and I want to help share their burden. Besides, stayin home all day is really dull”

Seeing he couldn’t win her over, Scott compromised and said, “Alright, whatever you decide, I’ll support you I’m just worried about you. But if you ever feel tired, promise me you’ll rest. Don’t push yourself.

“I’ve been traveling a lot for work recently and neglected you. But don’t worry, I won’t be going on any more trips”

By all accounts, Scott’s actions should have made her happy

“Scott, if you have work to do, go ahead. Don’t worry about me, Lola said considerately

She felt burdened, not wanting hoort to make any sacrifices for her.

“Layla, since you are getting better, when do you think would be a good time for us to get married?” Scott suired a dieeight that had been on his mind for a long time.

Lately, Scott had been feeling uneasy. Only by marrying soon could he feel truly secure.

“Get married?” Lola hadn’t really considered getting married recently

“Isn’t it too soon! Most of my focus is on the company, and I’m quite busy. Besides, wouldn’t it be too hasty if we rushi getting married like this

Her intention was to geraly decline Scott’s propenal
