“Certainly, Mr. Thompson demonstrates remarkable youth and talent, accomplishing a great deal at such a tender age.
“Undoubtedly, Mr. Thompson is strikingly bold, proceeding swiftly towards. marriage despite not being divorced yet. His audacity is uncommon among ordinary people.”

A perplexing statement left Celia scratching her head. “Jess, what nonsense are you. talking about? Mr. Thompson hasn’t even been married, let alone divorced.”
Jessie’s lips curled into a sardonic grin. “If he hasn’t been married, then what exactly am I in your life, Mr. Thompson? Please, enlighten my Mom. What’s my role to you?”
Celia glanced at Chase, perplexed, unaware of any marital developments involving
him.
“Mr. Thompson, given our long residence overseas, we’re out of touch with local. affairs. Could you shed some light on the connection between my daughter and yourself?”
Chase maintained a stoic demeanour as he matter–of–factly declared, “Any
previous connections are now in the past. Presently, I’m in the process of finalising a divorce.”
Jessie’s lips curled into a scornful smile. “Mr. Thompson speaks the truth. However, someone did mention he was about to sign a multi–million–dollar contract and departed abruptly!”
Wasn’t he supposed to be at the company, sealing a significant deal? Why is he still at the White residence, amusing himself with the children?
Chase’s countenance tightened as he absorbed Jessie’s biting remarks, a flicker of menace shadowing his gaze as he glanced her way.
Her audacity seems to be growing at the moment!
Off to the side, Celia observed the exchange between them, seemingly piecing together their connection, her countenance souring in response.-

As a mother, she sensed the urge to erupt in anger, but as she gazed into Chase’s abyssal eyes, she found herself unable to summon the courage to speak up.
Despite her lengthy sojourn abroad, Celia was keenly aware of Chase’s exceptional status. In the bustling Anceburg City, he reigned supreme like an emperor, simultaneously feared and respected as a tyrant!

Sensing the tension in the air, Celia swiftly shifted gears and interjected, “On another note, Jessie, what was that about Linda mentioning you for money? If finances are tight, just let me know. I’ve managed to save up quite a bit over the years.”
As she spoke, her voice tapered off abruptly, her notice drawn to the unkind shift. in Chase’s gaze directed at her.
“This doesn’t concern you,” Chase retorted bluntly.
Jessie furrowed her brows and positioned herself protectively in front of Celia, squarely confronting Chase. “You ought to display some respect towards my mother! Regardless of Linda’s involvement, speaking to her in such a manner is uncalled for!”
Chase’s expression remained stoic, his gaze icy as he fixed it upon her, the intensity of his stare growing increasingly ominous.
Celia swiftly intervened, seeking to diffuse the tension. “It’s alright. We’re all family here, let’s keep things light. I’ll go brew some coffee for everyone.”
After uttering those words, she hastened her departure.
Chase cast a quick glance at Linda and the remaining servant before seizing Jessie’s arm and forcefully propelling her upstairs. “Follow me!”
“Chase, stop it! Let me go!” Jessie fought against his grip, delivering a sharp slap to his hand. His forcefulness caused her to wince in pain.
Regrettably, her frail body lacked the strength to resist him, leaving her with no choice but to allow him to lead her into the room.
