The Disguised Billionaire She Rejected novel Chapter 130

Chapter 130

Marcus frowned slightly, sounding genuinely confused. “Behind all what?”

Jessica took a deep breath before speaking. “AQSA. The entire company has collapsed. They suddenly went bankrupt, and from the timing of everything, I just wanted to ask… are you the one behind it?”

Marcus couldn’t help but scoff.

“Jessica, how could I possibly be behind something like that?” he asked with a helpless laugh. “You’re talking about one of the biggest companies around. Do you really think someone like me could bring down Mr. Derek’s entire empire overnight?”.

Jessica became silent.

When she thought about it carefully, she realized how ridiculous her question sounded.

Marcus struggled just to make a living.

How could someone like him possibly bring down a business empire worth billions?

It simply wasn’t possible.

Marcus’ voice softened.

“Anyway, Hope you are okay?”

Jessica quickly snapped out of her thoughts.

“No… no, don’t mind me.” She forced out an awkward smile even though Marcus couldn’t see it through the phone. “I think everything that happened today just got into my head. Yes. The important thing is that you are okay”

Jessica said subconsciously.

“Okay. I’ll call you later.” Marcus said before hanging up.

The call ended.

Travis immediately looked toward her.

“Was that Marcus?”

Jessica nodded. “Yes. He’s safe.”

The moment those words left her mouth, Mrs. Morgan burst into laughter.

“You were seriously asking Marcus whether he was behind AQSA’s downfall?” she said between laughs. “Jessica, have you lost your mind?”

Jessica bit her lower lip.

“I know it sounds crazy, but think about it. Around the same time Sancho kidnapped Marcus, AQSA suddenly collapsed, and somehow Marcus was rescued before anything happened to him. Doesn’t that seem… strange?”

Mrs. Morgan waved her hand dismissively.

“You’re overthinking everything. Marcus is that poor gigolo everyone laughs at. How could someone like him possibly destroy the Derek family? Even if he spent ten lifetimes trying, he wouldn’t be capable of something like

that.”

Travis sighed in agreement.

“You’ve been through too much today. Your emotions are all over the place. That’s why you’re connecting things that have nothing to do with each other. Marcus could never pull off something this huge.”

Jessica remained quiet.

Mrs. Morgan suddenly noticed Jessica’s appearance.

“Look at yourself. Your clothes are dirty, and you look exhausted. Where exactly are you coming from?”

Jessica’s heart skipped a beat.

There was no way she could tell them that Sancho had kidnapped her. If she did, they would only panic and worry

even more.

She forced a smile.

“It’s nothing. I guess I’m just tired.”

Mrs. Morgan studied her for a few seconds before nodding. “Go and freshen up.”

Jessica gave a slight nod.

With that, she slowly walked toward her bedroom, but even after closing the door behind her.

Travis then frowned and face Mrs. Morgan, “You have to stop jessica from seeing Marcus again, look at her. it seems she is in love with him and they are back on terms”

Mrs. Morgan also thought about it, the phone call was them taking informal. “That can never happened. Jessica will never end up with that poor pauper”

Meanwhile, inside the Alfred family’s chamber, the atmosphere had become completely chaotic.

Everyone present wore gloomy expressions as the news regarding AQSA continued playing on the large television mounted on the wall.

Mr. Alfred slammed both palms heavily onto the conference table.

“We’re finished!”

His angry voice echoed throughout the room.

“We had an excellent partnership with the Langstone family, and we threw it away because of Sancho’s stupid promises. We gambled everything on AQSA, and now AQSA is collapsing before our eyes!”

He suddenly turned toward his wife.

“And this is all because of you!”

Mrs. Alfred’s face darkened.

“Why are you blaming me? You’re the head of this family. You agreed to everything too.”

“I told you!” Mr. Alfred roared. “I told you we already had a stable relationship with the Langstones and that we

should simply leave Julia alone. But no! You insisted we cut her off because Sancho promised us a bigger future.”

Mrs, Alfred opened her mouth to argue again.

“You…”

“Enough!” Mr. Alfred barked.

The room immediately fell silent.

He rubbed his forehead tiredly before speaking again.

“If the board of directors finds out that we abandoned the Langstones for absolutely nothing, they’ll skin us alive.”

Everyone lowered their heads.

No one dared disagree.

After a long silence, Ms. Lena finally spoke.

“The only solution now… is to bring Julia back.”

Everyone immediately looked at her.

“We have to apologize to her,” she continued. “If she forgives us and restores our relationship with the Langstone family, Everything will be okay.”
