This very night, Heather had a hard time falling asleep.

Her mind could not stop thinking about her relationship with Alex and all the things that happened.

In the end she sullenly realized that it was not Alex’s fault, rather her family’s own egoistic bias that resulted in them not heeding Alex’s advices.

She thought of the past and she recounted the time when she was in desperation to save the Jennings family, and during that dire time; Alex had offered thirty million. No one, not herself, her mother, nor anyone in the family ever believed Alex. They had even mocked him mercilessly, thinking that he had bitten off more than he could chew.

In the end, they still relied on Alex’s connections to resolve the problem.

Memories led her to the time of her granny’s birthday. Alex had gifted a precious painting dated back to the Renaissance Era. However, no one believed him and thought that the painting was some cheap imitation from some street artist.

In the end, an art connoisseur appraised the painting as genuine and was willing to offer a million to purchase…

All the incidents flooded her mind, and Heather realized that they had underestimated Alex in every turn.

“If we had believed him, would he have donated his ten million s provincial government reward away?”

She knew the answer. “He wouldn’t have to.”

Thinking about this, Heather felt regret.

She surmised that Alex donated that ten million away because they did not believe him.

In fact, Alex was not as bad as she thought.

Ah, forget it. Stop thinking. Even if Alex is indeed excellent, he still can’t keep up with him.

Having thought of that, her mind was suddenly filled with ‘him.

Such was the nature of human. The more unattainable something was, the more the heart yearned for it.

“That‘ person might not even take her seriously.

“That‘ person might even stand her up.

Still in a daze, Heather did not realize when she had fallen asleep.

The next day, at the office, Alex saw Ginny was wiping his desk.

“Good morning, Mr. Jefferson,” greeted Ginny hurriedly with a look of resentment.

This look was akin to the ancient time concubine’s who had not been favored for a long time by the emperor.

“Good morning,” nodded Alex, as he sat down on his chair.

“Mr. Jefferson, these are the documents that need your attention in these two days.” Ginny placed several folders in front of Alex, and opened them one by one.

Alex took a look at the documents before signing and passing them over.

For these few proposals, Jack had already briefed him through the phone, hence he just went over the formal process today.

As Ginny carried the folders out, Jessica came in.

“Mr. Jefferson, I’m returning this necklace to you. Thank you,” expressed Jessica as she passed the Arkenrainbow necklace, given to her at Airedale, back to Alex.

Even though she adored the necklace, it was too expensive for her to keep.

Alex glanced at the necklace before smiling, “It’s a gift for you. Don’t you want it?”

Jessica looked undecided, but finally shook her head, “I really can’t take this.”

“In that case, I’ll take it back,” Alex said with a smile as he stored the necklace.

As Jessica was only his personal secretary, it did seem rather inappropriate to gift her such an expensive

accessory.

At this juncture, the office phone on Alex’s desk rang, and Jessica quickly said, “I’ll take my leave then.”

She left the office after that.

Alex picked up the phone as the line connected.

“Where are you? I’ll need you to accompany me to the hospital.” Kate’s indifferent voice came through the phone.
