The Wrong Woman Chapter 989
Imogen walked into the kitchen and started preparing the vegetables. "Dad, let me do it. You can rest for a while.""You've been working all day, so you must be tired. Let me cook. You can rest.""I'm not tired," Imogen said as she guided Gregory out of the kitchen. She firmly said, "I'll do the cooking tonight."Gregory had lost his legs, so he used to walk with his hands. A few years ago, he spent thousands on a prosthetic leg but was swindled with a poor-quality one. Now, standing too long caused him pain, and he walked with a limp."Alright then," Gregory replied with a contented smile.Imogen busied herself in the kitchen while Gregory drank tea in the living room. Half an hour later, she made two plates of paella, a salmon omelet, and a bowl of Greek salad."Dad, dinner's ready."Gregory walked over to sit down. He looked at the food on the table and then at Imogen.Imogen sat down and used her cutlery to serve Gregory some food. She said, "Dad, let's eat." However, Grego

Imogen said, "No need. You work so hard, so you should relax when you get back from work. I can handle this myself."Sitting on the edge of the bed, Jasper pondered for a moment. He said, "Imogen, let's talk."Instead of stopping what she was doing, Imogen asked, "Talk about what?""Let's get to know each other better to ease the adjustment period after marriage." Imogen looked at him silently.Jasper said gently as he looked into her eyes, "We both have jobs, so we don't get much time together."Imogen smiled faintly. She said, "Life is long. Are you afraid we won't get to know each other well enough?"Jasper asked, "What's your relationship with Ethan?" Imogen fell silent. Jasper continued, "Is he your ex-boyfriend?"Imogen put down the cloth she was holding and leaned against the desk. She responded, "No. He is just a friend.""And what about his wife?"Imogen replied, "She was my close friend, but now she's just a neighbor that I'm familiar with."Jasper asked, "Do they l

"Let me think about it. I'll tell you later," Imogen said. She didn't expect much from this marriage as it lacked any emotional foundation. To her, as long as they could get by, it was enough. The marriage was merely to prove she had moved on from Ethan and also to reassure her parents.Late at night, Imogen returned to the bedroom in her pajamas after taking her shower. As she entered the room, she saw Jasper changing clothes.His well-built physique, defined muscles, and healthy skin tone momentarily stunned her. Realizing what she was seeing, she quickly stepped back and shut the door behind her as if she had done something wrong.Upon hearing a loud bang, Jasper looked toward the door. At that moment, his expression darkened.Outside, Imogen's face flushed and her heart raced. She was so nervous that her breath became erratic. The image of his perfect body kept replaying in her mind, filling her thoughts with blush-inducing visions.It wasn't like she had never seen a man wi

Imogen bit her lower lip because she felt so embarrassed that she wanted to smack herself. The words she said just now were so ridiculous. Both of them fell silent as they were lost in their thoughts. The atmosphere in the room was very ambiguous.Jasper then turned off the light. As the room fell into darkness, their breathing became even and steady. Jasper clearly knew what Imogen was talking about earlier, but he pretended not to understand.This night was restless for both of them. The next morning, Imogen was =up before dawn to make breakfast. She ironed Jasper's suit and polished his shoes. After that, she prepared his lunchbox.When Jasper woke up, he didn't see Imogen in the room. Instead, he found his neatly ironed clothes hanging in an obvious spot, which made him feel touched.As he walked out of the room, he saw Imogen busying herself in the kitchen.After freshening up, he headed toward the kitchen. When he walked past the dining table, he noticed the simple, yet nutr

After breakfast, Jasper left for work. Imogen saw him off downstairs. Watching him get into the car, Imogen waved goodbye to him.After his car drove away, only then did she head back upstairs. Despite living on the eighth floor, she didn't mind taking the stairs. She treated it as exercise.Back at home, Imogen cleaned the house, did the laundry, and hung the clothes up to dry. After finishing all the household chores, she got ready, took her resume, and went out to look for a job.Star Enterprise was founded by Jasper a year ago. The company primarily operated in the internet sector, including shopping platforms, online streaming, aerospace transportation, highly profitable game development, and esports teams.Jasper, as a rising business magnate, was quite famous in the business world. He had created a billion-dollar empire in a very short time.Some said he relied on his parents' advantages, others said he leveraged the power of his billionaire uncle, and some said he just got

Imogen spent the whole day at the job market, submitting numerous resumes, but heard nothing back.She graduated from a technical college with a degree in "Aircraft Maintenance Engineering and Management", a highly specialized field that no companies seemed interested in.Her dream was to work in the aerospace industry, but her qualifications were not enough. She was stuck between aiming too high and settling too low.Just as she was about to give up and go back to running her online store, an old classmate called."Imogen, let's meet up. A bunch of our high school friends are having a reunion."Just as she was about to decline, the caller added, "A lot of our classmates have become big bosses. They're doing great."Imogen thought networking was crucial for finding a job, so maybe her classmates could help her out. After some consideration, she agreed.Several men and women were gathered in the luxurious hotel suite of Phoenicia Grand Hotel. As Imogen walked into the room, she w

Imogen's classmate said, "We know you're happy now, Scarlett. You're pregnant and you will be a mom soon. Not only that, your husband is a manager at a big company. You're living a good life!"Imogen felt increasingly uncomfortable listening to them gloat at her expense, but she didn't say a word. She just sipped her drink, ate her food, and smiled when someone spoke to her.She had hoped to leverage her connections to get a job, but now she realized it was just wishful thinking. She was merely a joke for these old classmates to amuse themselves with.Imogen wanted to finish eating and leave as soon as possible, so she kept her head down to eat her meal.At that moment, Scarlett made an infuriating suggestion. She said, "Imogen just got married and didn't invite us to attend the ceremony. How about we treat this dinner as her wedding banquet, and the meal is on you?"The classmates quickly agreed, "Yeah, that's a great idea! We'll send you the money as a wedding gift later."Imog

"500. I'll give 500 too…"Suddenly, everyone eagerly took out their phones, ready to transfer the money to Imogen.Pulling her phone back, Imogen stood up and said, "You guys don't have to transfer anything. Your gift money can cover the cost of this meal."If it's not enough, whoever organized this gathering should make up the difference. I'm broke and can't pay a cent."With that, Imogen grabbed her bag and left. A few classmates panicked.Two female classmates who were somewhat closer to Imogen caught up with her in the hallway. They pulled her aside and said, "Imogen, the reunion isn't over yet. Leaving like this isn't appropriate."The other was defending Imogen. She said, "Scarlett did this on purpose. She's been targeting you all night. If you leave because you're humiliated by her, you're playing right into her hands.""Exactly. You shouldn't let them mock you like this."Imogen resigned. She said with a faint smile, "I appreciate your concern. Maybe I'm just not suitab
