V 50 Younty’

Jessica was heading to an auction the next day. She put on a face mask, took a bath, and planned to get a good night’s sleep. Before bed, she checked her phone as usual.

The next second, Jessica sat up in bed.

Whitmore Group had posted on their official account: [Whitmore Group, requesting a showdown.]

Jessica had followed Whitmore Group’s official account back when she first returned. At that time, her sights were set on Avery. Before that, she had only met Jeremiah once, and he barely acknowledged her.

Jessica told Hathaway she wanted to work at Whitmore Group.

Hathaway was thrilled, grabbing Jessica’s hand and saying, “With your PhD, joining Whitmore Group is really beneath you.

“You can pick any position you want, except the chairman, of course. Even Avery’s CEO spot is up for grabs, since Avery totally has a thing for you.”

Jessica admitted to herself that Hathaway had once treated her really well, like a trusted older sister,

However, compared to the friendship she’d invested in and Avery’s feelings for her, Jessica’s heart was set on Jeremiah. Having Jeremiah was like holding the world in her hands.

Blackwood Group’s businesses stretched across the globe. Jessica had seen Jeremiah featured on Monarcia’s financial news. He was named one of the 50 most influential people in global tech, and the impact was truly staggering.

There was no way Jessica would ever give up Jeremiah for the Whitmore siblings.

After staring at those words for a while, Jessica called Lucas. “Lucas, did you see the post on Whitmore Group’s official account?”

Lucas scrolled through his phone and said, “Yeah, I saw it. Sounds pretty dramatic.”

But honestly, no one really knew what was going on.

Seeing how tense Jessica was, Lucas couldn’t help but tease her. “You don’t think Hathaway’s challenging you, do you? Looks like she’s still scheming.”

Jessica rolled her eyes and gave a smile. “That joke’s not funny.”

“Don’t stress about it. If Hathaway really wanted to throw down, she’d blast it on her Instagram or something. No way her dad would let her use the company account for that.

“Or maybe Whitmore Group’s got something going on lately.”

Jessica figured she was overthinking things. She hung up, turned off the lights, and went to sleep.

The next day, Jeremiah took Jessica to the auction house.

With all eyes on her, Jessica snagged a sapphire necklace and a sparkling crown.

That crown was the same one Hathaway’s father, Conrad, had commissioned for her eighteenth birthday. It was a breathtaking piece crafted from a thousand rare diamonds.

Hathaway had entrusted the auction house with the sale, but she didn’t show up in person.

Normally, the auction house only needed to report the final sale price. They had no right to disclose the buyer’s info. But since the owner knew about Hathaway and Jeremiah’s connection, he gave the Whitmore family a call.

When the call came in, Hathaway was video chatting with her team overseas. The auction house staff told her her collection had been sold, and the buyer was Jeremiah. They also subtly hinted that Jeremiah had bought it for the woman who was with him.

Hathaway replied coolly, “Got it.”

The staff, following protocol, simply said they’d be in touch if more auction items came up. Hathaway didn’t bat an eye.

Alan, who was on the video call, caught the whole exchange. He asked, “Ms. Whitmore, we’re flush with cash right now. Why bother selling anything?”

About half a year ago, Hathaway set up an investment bank overseas Thanks to her previous-life memories, she threw all her savings into stocks that ended up skyrock Successfully unlocked! mployees basically saw her as a total investment prodigy.

Hathaway replied, “I want to make more.”

After finishing up her work, Hathaway picked up the newspaper again, but she couldn’t focus on a single word. She knew exactly who Jeremiah had bought those things for.

In her previous life, Jessica had stolen everything Hathaway had. And now, history was repeating itself.

But it didn’t matter. Hathaway had more important things to focus on now.
