Chapter 91
James nodded at a loss, “Yeah, Tm James.”
“Well, that’s right. Mr. Thompson, feel free to go inside and take a look. Call me if you have any questions, the housekeeper
said.
“Ah? Oh James was overwhelmed and worried that he might be kicked out anytime as he gritted his teeth and walked in.
He doubted, ‘Chris was getting back at me in this way! There might be some prank inside the villa set up to embarrass me. But I’m not a coward. It wouldn’t be that easy to frighten me.‘
He opened the door and went in, but nothing happened. He checked each room one by one, no one was in there. Then he opened the fridge; it was fully stocked. It didn’t seem like anyone was planning to mess with him.
He had never lived in a villa, and even during film shoots, there were rarely scenes set in a villa, so he was curious.
He wandered around everywhere. Finally, he figured it out, Tut even if they made a mistake, I’m not losing out today. Did I just get lucky?”
When he took out his phone and was about to tell Kylie about it, he saw a bunch of people tagging him in the group chat. He was even more confused, completely unsure how to reply.
He wondered. ‘Aren’t these people usually so arrogant? Why are they all calling me bro now? Unbelievable!
At this moment, Chris saw a bunch of people in the group flattering James, his face turning pale and twisting with anger.
He messaged James directly. [You’re living in a villa now. Is Kyliesucking up to that wealthy backer for you? Who knows how old that guy is, yet you’re just enjoying the benefits without care
Still upset, he called Claude. “Have you found out who that wealthy backer behind Kylie is? Whoever it is, he’s definitely someone significant, even reaching into our crew? And now even James is showing me an attitude. Everyone in the crew is sucking up to him, damn it, I’d like to kill him.”“
Claude was stressed out. He hadn’t been home for days, staying at the office with his white shirt all wrinkled.
He didn’t have the energy to console Chris, “I can’t find out who she’s associated with, but what’s for sure is that they’re in Mr. Amandason’s circle. Only those people can push us down. How much money do you have right now?”
“I don’t have much money. I’ve spent almost everything I’ve made over the years, Chris admitted. The idea of saving was never something he considered.
After a few minutes silence, Claude said, “We need to find a chance to meet Kylie together. I found out she’s working in the Roth team?”
“The Roth team? Is she working there as a cleaner? What a disgrace! Chris immediately thought Kylie couldn’t make a name for herself.
Claude rubbed his brow and said, “We’re not sure yet; she might ve been placed there to earn a good reputation.”
“So disgusting!” Chris said.
“If there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up. There are so many issues at the company right now, it might not last much longer,” Claude said, feeling more and more like the company was on the brink of failure. Their family might end up burdened with a huge debt.
Chris was stunned, “Our company is so big, it can’t just go under can it?” Is it that big a deal?

“Monday, let’s go to the Roth building, Claude said, without giving any more details, just telling him the time.
Chris rolled his eyes. “Are you that scared?”

He thought. We Lampard family is quite respectable in Jardora, and our company has been running for so long. How could it possibly go bankrupt just because someone said it would? It’s just hitting a few bumps in the road, why don’t we just
overcome them?”
After hanging up, he saw James had replied. What goes around comes around, Chris. Your good days are numbered! Ugh, what a nutcase.]
Chris was furious. [James, I’m going to ruin you!]
He then found James‘ profile photo was no longer visible on his WhatsApp profile, even his last seen” was hidden from him. He realized that he had been blocked.
Chris face twisted with anger, and he thought, I couldn’t believe it! Someday I’d have James and Kylie kneeling and begging for forgiveness!
Kylie was lying on her bed processing online orders when Jessie called
“How does the virtuous wife have time to call me? Kylie said
“My husband is so busy today, that he doesn’t have time to hang out with me. Here I am, alone in this big empty house, feeling so lonely and bored. Kylie, I think I’m ready to have a baby, Jessie said, gently touching her flat stomach.
She thought, We haven’t been using protection lately, so maybe there’s already a baby on the way. If I had a baby, I wouldn’t
have time to overthink.
Kylie was a bit surprised, “It’s Saturday, is Mr. Hawkins really that busy?”
Speaking of Henry being busy, she realized that it seemed like Trevor hadn’t returned either.
“There must be a difficult project going on; he’s really dedicated. But maybe because I’ve been staying home every day, it feels like he doesn’t pay as much attention to me as he used to, Jessie said
Feeling uncertain and insecure was her current state.
Kylie helped to find a way, “Why not get a job?”
*T’d love to, but Hory doesn’t allow it. His mom wants me to stay home and take care of all of his needs. My mom isn’t supportive either, Jessie said with a sigh. They all encourage me to have a child, and I’m preparing for that, so maybe there will be good news soon.”
Her mom always said that having a baby would make her days fulfilling. Henry even suggested they could have three kids in
the future.
Kylie noticed that something seemed off with Jessie’s mood, “Have you had a good talk with Mr. Hawkins?”
T’d like to talk to him about work, but he’s been really busy lately traveling a lot. He’s only been home for about a week or so -this month, Jessie sighed deeply.
Kylie increasingly felt that the once energetic and vivacious Jessie was turning into a grumbling woman with no life dreams.
“Oh, Henry’s back. Honey, talk to you later!” Jessie hung up the phone and hurried downstairs.
“Honey!” She ran straight to Henry and hugged him tightly.

Henry stiffened slightly as he embraced her, then gently asked, “Not asleep yet?”
“Couldn’t sleep, I’ve been waiting for you. Haven’t seen you for days,” Jessie said P
Suddenly, she stopped, sniffed hard at Henry, and said, “Henry, do you have another woman?”
Henry’s face tightened. “What nonsense are you talking about?”
“There’s a perfume scent on you–the same one I used before. You said it didn’t smell so good, so I stopped using it. Henry. you know I’m a neat freak. If you’re being ambiguous with anodier woman, I will never forgive you!” Jessie said angrily, her
eyes red.
Henry’s eyes were deep, and he spoke with a slightly helpless tone. There was a social event today, maybe someone wearing perfume just bumped into me. Jessie, you’ve been a bit off lately,
Jessie suddenly felt deflated, like a balloon losing air, and with red eyes, she said, “Sorry, I’ve just been really tense.”
“Let’s go on a trip in a few days to relax.” Henry comforted.
“You said it! You definitely can’t stand me up this time, Jessie said.
On Sunday. Kylie arrived at the restaurant according to the address–Sophia serit her
