Chapter 523
Just a few days ago, Jessica was very harsh to Casper. It sounded as if she wanted to completely cut ties with him. Jessica asked hesitantly, “Did you go to Huxham Corporation today?”
In response, Casper asked, “And how did you know that?”
“That’s not for you to know,” Jessica said.
Judging from his response, Jessica felt her heart sink. She could tell that Casper was serious; Yvonne wasn’t lying.
Without thinking, Jessica said, “I have my ways.”
Casper remained silent for a moment, his thoughts drifting back to how he revealed Jessica’s plans to release a sex tape of him and Annalise online. After that, Zane summoned him to Huxham Corporation. But the truth was, nothing happened between Casper and Annalise.
When Casper heard what Jessica said, he immediately realized it was all a part of Zane’s plan-including his visit to Huxham Corporation. Zane wanted to use Casper to divert Jessica’s attention. Casper knew that Zane had many ways to protect Annalise. But if Zane was willing to take advantage of him, it meant Zane had intentions to mentor him.
With that in mind, Casper casually answered, “Yeah, I was there.”
Jessica immediately responded, “And?”
Casper said patiently, “I was discussing a partnership with Zane.”
Jessica’s speech sped up gradually. She asked, “Does Zane think highly of you?”
But Casper evaded the question. He answered, “More or less. He’s confident in the project that I’m managing.”
Jessica unconsciously tightened her grip on her phone. She wondered why it was that when she was ready to abandon Casper, she finally realized that he was a hidden gem. After a long silence, Jessica said, “I’m sorry.”
Suddenly, Jessica felt the heaviness
in her chest lifted. She continued “A few days ago, I was in a bad mood because of my pregnancy… I was really harsh to you when we spoke. Can you forgive me?”
After Casper heard Jessica, he suddenly realized how pragmatic she was. When he had no value to offer, she would abandon him without hesitation, wasting no time on him at all. But when she realized his future worth, making him worthy tébe her backup plan, she would apologize to him.
Casper wasn’t sure how to describe how he felt.
Jessica said woefully, “Casper, the baby in my womb is your child. Can you give me one more chance for our baby’s sake?”
Casper thought he probably still loved Jessica. Even after seeing her true colors, he couldn’t help but pity her when he saw how she spoke to him submissively.
After a long silence, Casper said, “Okay.”
By the time I was done with the autographs, my hand was extremely sore. After putting the pen aside, I said to the exhausted employees, “I’ll be off to pick my daughter up from school.

“Do you have more for me to sign
tomorrow? If you do, I can come over in the morning. I can’t come in the afternoon because my daughter has amactivity in her kindergarten that requires my attendance

The two employees rested their heads on the books and said, “It’s fine. Our boss said that this is enough. If we have a reprint and need more autographs, we’ll let you know!” “Okay.”
After getting into the car, I called Zane and asked, “Should I meet you at the office?”
