“I hope you find someone who really gets you, someone who’ll be there for you through thick and thin, and you can settle down and start a family. So, how are things going with Lorenzo?”

Hathaway didn’t really care whether Jessica had heard or not. Thinking about those upcoming Mockhter dres “Let’s invest in a few of them.”

Evelyn was so touched that she was on the verge of tears. “Hathaway, you’re amazing. Why didn’t I lend you 3 million back then? I must’ve been out of my mind!”

She was laughing and crying as she hugged Hathaway.

Meanwhile, Jessica was finally discharged from the hospital.

Jeremiah and Calvin were both there, accompanying her as she left. Since her injury was mostly on her left foot, Jeremih pushed her in a wheelchair so she wouldn’t strain it by walking too much.

“Why isn’t Lucas here?” Elaine asked, scanning the room. The rest of the Kingsley family were happy to see Jeremsalt and Calvin, but Elaine kept glancing around, obviously hoping Lucas would show up.

Calvin said, “Lucas left. He’s not in Bayridge anymore. Alistair sent him off to some branch office way out.

“Word is, he pissed off Alistair, so he got sent packing to some branch office. Alistair called Leo back from Diwana to take over the company. Nobody really knows the full story, but apparently everyone who was there that day got fired, Calvas said.

Jeremiah knew about it, too.

If he really wanted to dig, he could easily find out what actually happened. But honestly, Jeremiah never botheredd poking his nose into other people’s family drama.

Elaine was so frustrated that she could barely stand it.

When Jessica stepped outside the hospital, she spotted yet another giant poster of Scarlett. Lately her posters plastered all over the city.

Scarlett was the new It girl, gorgeous and riding a huge wave of popularity.

But with her engagement around the corner, Jessica barely spared her a glance,

A few days later, Jessica was finally able to walk again.

Jeremiah set aside some time and personally brought her to a luxury couture house to pick out her engagement dress. The sales assistant greeted them with a polite smile, her attitude flawless as she patiently showed off all the latest seasonal styles.

While Jessica was getting all the attention, Jeremiah kicked back on the sofa, idly messing around on his tablet

The sales assistant carefully held up a high-end blush pink dress made of delicate tulle. “Ms. Kingsley, this is our latest featured piece, a soft pink that’s subtle yet flattering, perfect for an engagement, and gives off an ethereal vibe

“With your gentle grace, this dress would make you absolutely stunning. Would you like to try it on?”

Jessica cast a glance at the soft pink dress.

Thinking of Hathaway in that pretty pink gown at her brother’s wedding, Jessica sant in a flat tone, Tm not a fate of pink. It’s a little too flashy for me”

The sales assistant paused for a moment, then quickly agreed. “Someone as cool and aloof as you, Ms. Kingsley, really isn’t suited for pink.”

Jeremiah kept his eyes on the stock charts on his tablet, not looking up. “Have you ever worn pink jewelry?”

Jessica was caught off guard, thinking. Why is he asking me that?

Jeremiah’s finger paused on the tablet as he waited for her answer.
