Married a Secret Billionaire novel Chapter 960

Jesse was also a Jenner, but he was tens of thousands of miles apart from the Jenners.

Back then, William, whose eyes were on top of his head, did not even spare a glance at broke relatives like Jesse, a distant one especially.

After Jesse's first attempt to seek refuge with William failed, he decided to rely on his own efforts. He started by setting up a stall on the night market street and eventually saved enough money to open a shop, which had now become this small supermarket. It had been a journey of hardships and struggles, waking up early and working late, and only those who had experienced it firsthand could truly understand.

This small supermarket was more important to him than his own life. Now, he had to make a choice between his life and his daughter.

"Jesse, have you lost your voice?" Melissa hugged Lina in her arms, patting her head just like when she was a child, with tears streaming down her face.

"Anyway... I disagree! Is there no justice in this world anymore? How dare the Grists meddle in my daughter's lifelong affair!? Are the rich and powerful to bully people?"

"That's right, I disagree too!" Dave slammed the table and stood up. "Sis, you have no idea how arrogant Violet was today. The person she found for you is a notorious playboy who has ruined countless girls. You mustn't marry him!"

Lina was upset and silently shed tears.

The entire family's gaze turned to Jesse.

Jesse kept his head down, silent and depressed, the cigarette between his fingers burning shorter and shorter. The smell of nicotine filled the small living room, and Lina's heart grew even more suppressed.

"Yes, you can't marry him!" Jesse suddenly roared after a while.

His voice trembled, but every word he uttered was firm and resolute.

"If I can't even protect my own daughter, what kind of father am I!?"

"Dad..."

"Lina, don't worry. Tomorrow, you and your mom pack up the things in the house. We can always find another place to live!" he said.
