Hathaway dropped Lorenzo off outside Blackwood Villa. Calvin’s comment was still bugging her, so she couldn’t help but ask.

“Lorenzo, did Jeremiah and Jessica secretly get married?” Hathaway asked.

“No way,” Lorenzo shot back without thinking. “I haven’t heard anything.”

“Want me to ask around for you, Hathaway?” Lorenzo offered.

“No, that’s okay. Go inside,” Hathaway said quickly.

Lorenzo obediently walked into the villa, and once he was inside, Hathaway started her car and drove off.

After the campus lecture series, Jeremiah took his team overseas himself. After months of hustling abroad, he came back with blockbuster news.

The company pulled off two rounds of funding worth billions of dollars and landed a major national tech innovation project. Blackwood Tech’s valuation shot through the roof.

The moment their core product hit the market, it was a total game-changer.

Despite losing several key patents, Jeremiah’s company pulled off a miracle, turning the tide in half a year, stacking up wins, and doubling its revenue.

Blackwood Tech crushed the competition, firmly claiming the top spot in the industry. Its reputation spread like wildfire across the tech world.

Jeremiah himself landed on the cover of every major business magazine and dominated the headlines.

He was the hottest topic around; nobody else came close.

Everyone in the industry praised Jeremiah for his razor-sharp instincts and bold moves. They all agreed he was Bayridge’s top young leader, and no one else came close.

That night, when the news reached the Kingsley family, the whole house was buzzing with pride and joy.

Jessica sat beside Elizabeth, picking up the latest issue of a business magazine.

On the cover was Jeremiah, looking sharp and composed in a suit. A restrained but unmistakable smile tugged at her lips, and her eyes sparkled with genuine happiness and pride.

The higher Jeremiah climbed, the more dignified and proud Jessica felt.

Elizabeth squeezed Jessica’s hand, her eyes wrinkling with pure delight as she laughed, “This is fantastic! The man you picked, Jessica, is absolutely perfect.

“Jeremiah’s got talent and vision. You really nailed it. From now on, the Kingsley family can walk around Bayridge like we own the place!”

The other Kingsley relatives nodded one after another, unable to hide their envy.

“Looks like you got yourselves a rock-solid support.”

“Seriously, look around. There’s really no one else as young and impressive as Jeremiah. He’s one of a kind.”

Jessica lowered her gaze, hiding the quiet pride that welled up inside her.

She’d never chosen wrong, not once. All she’d ever wanted was someone who could stand by her side and help her shine

Jeremiah’s achievements spoke to his own abilities, but more, they proved her eye for people.

When she thought of Hathaway, who couldn’t bask in a sliver of his success, let alone share the spotlight, Jessica felt a deep sense of satisfaction.

Meanwhile, at the Blackwood Villa, the lights were still burning bright.

Eleanor watched as Jeremiah slipped off his suit jacket. He looked exhausted, but there was a quiet, steely resolve in his eyes, like he’d fought a war and won.

“Your father struck a deal with you,” Eleanor said. “If you could double the company’s value in two years, he’d get your grandfather to approve you and Jessica being together.

“Now you’ve nearly grown it tenfold. He’ll stick to his word.”

Jeremiah’s gaze was unreadable as he simply replied, “Okay.”

*****

Hathaway knew all the buzz about Blackwood Group.

That night, Conrad was calmly watching TV, and Hathaway was curled up next to her dad. “Dad, do you ever think Avery and I are useless?”

“Of course, not,” Conrad said, giving her a warm smile. “What makes me proudest in my whole life isn’t the money I’ve made. It’s having you and Avery.”

The next day at lunch, Celeste’s older brother came over for a meal.

Conrad was out for a business dinner, so Sylvia had the kitchen whip up a few extra dishes. Everyone was chatting and laughing, and the atmosphere at the table was warm and friendly.

“Oh, I forgot there’s still soup,” Celeste said, suddenly remembering. She got up to grab the last dish from the kitchen.

After a few drinks, Celeste’s brother, Vincent Rivers, decided to brag a little for his sister.

He grinned and said, “Honestly, Celeste used to have a ton of guys chasing after her. Some of them were really good catches.”

Sylvia smiled and chimed in, “Absolutely. Celeste’s really sweet, so of course people are drawn to her.”

Vincent couldn’t resist showing off a bit more. “The most impressive one was Calvin, one of Bayridge’s elite. He was after Celeste, too.”

As soon as he said that, the whole table went quiet.

Almost without thinking, Hathaway glanced at Avery.

Avery looked back at her, and for a moment, their eyes met before both of them looked away.

No one said a word.

‘How could they possibly know each other? Hathaway thought.

In her previous life, Hathaway had never heard that Calvin was interested in Celeste.

Vincent, clearly proud of himself, started bragging again and repeated the whole story about Calvin.
