Jacqueline thought that was as terrible as her fate could be. Though she was sad about it, she knew
she was no match for the Johnson family.
Still, her parents had some connections back in her hometown. Since things were not going well for her
in Livingsfill, she thought it would be a good idea to return to her hometown. Life would be easier, but
she would have a harder time escaping from her hometown from then on.
There were pros to living in a small town, but Jacqueline was not one for a peaceful life.
She had been fired from Prosperity Enterprise, and the reason for her termination was on her resume.
Even if she were to go to another city, any company that was doing a little better than average would
not recruit her. Thus, Livingsfill was not the only city she would no longer be able to thrive in.
Jacqueline had originally thought of returning to her hometown for a break.
But before she could get home, news of her father having an affair and her parents getting reported to
the government spread.
By the time Jacqueline reached home, her parents had already been taken away by government
officials. Jacqueline finally realized what Charles’ gaze that night meant.
He planned to make her regret ever crossing Charlize.
Jacqueline realized that her parents would only come out of this safe and sound if she were to beg
Charlize for mercy.
After a while of asking around, she found out that Charlize was actually working for Spencer as his
secretary.
Jacqueline gritted her teeth harshly when she heard about that.
Nonetheless, Jacqueline still had a hint of humanity left in her. Her parents had raised her all these
years, and despite her anger toward Charlize, she was still going to plead for Charlize’s help now that
her parents were in trouble.
Thus, she quickly bought a plane ticket back to Livingsfill. The moment she landed, she headed
straight to Gratia Corporation.
Charlize was in the middle of having lunch in Spencer’s office when she found out that someone was
looking for her.
Immediately, she stood up, planning to head downstairs.
But just as she stood up, Spencer pulled her back down on the couch.
“Who is it?”
As a meticulous person, Mika had already found out the identity of the woman. “A lady named
Jacqueline Lamer.”
Charlize frowned.
She did not want to meet Jacqueline. They had always been on bad terms, and Jacqueline wanting to
meet her was certainly not going to be because she brought good news.
No longer wanting to head downstairs, Charlize said, “Mr. Templer, tell her that I’m not going to meet
her.”
That was what Spencer was about to say to Mika, but to his surprise, Charlize had said it first.
He glanced at the woman by his side. When he saw the way she was biting her lower lip and the
emotions written across her face, he found his heart melting.
If Mika was not there, he would have pulled her into his arms.
Reading the room, Mika nodded and left while instructing someone to dismiss Jacqueline.
Once Mika was gone, Charlize turned to face Spencer and whined, “How can she be so shameless?”
They already had a falling out the other night, but Jacqueline still came to look for her.
“Ignore her. She won’t come and bother you anymore.”
Sure enough, Spencer knew why Jacqueline wanted to meet Charlize.
He was the one who had anonymously reported Jacqueline’s parents to the government. Charles had
only asked him to blacklist her from the other companies, but Spencer thought that it was too light a
punishment for her.
He had not known what Jacqueline had done to Charlize back in university previously, but now that he
did, he was going to make Jacqueline pay.
Still, it was clear that Charlize did not want to hear anything about Jacqueline anymore, so Spencer
was not going to raise the topic.
“Yeah.”
No way am I going to spend my time thinking about her! What concerned Charlize more was, “Is the
dinner tonight just a normal dinner?”
Just a while ago, Spencer told her that they were going to have dinner with his friends. After finding out
about it, Charlize had been wracked with worry the entire day.
The two of them had been dating for over two months, but this was Spencer’s first time taking her to
meet his friends. There was no way for Charlize to stay calm.
“Don’t worry. They’re just my friends.”
Spencer tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear, then realized that she was staring at him. His
heart melted again, and he said, “I’ll reject them if you don’t want to go.”
“No, no. I’m just nervous.”
She had never heard about Spencer having any good friends, so the sudden appearance of two
stunned her. Charlize was curious about them, but at the same time, she was worried that they would
think she was not worthy of Spencer.
Undeniably, what Jacqueline said that night had affected Charlize, even if only slightly.
