Emerald went to the event hall with Daryl and was thinking about Jace. She never expected him to kiss her, and she didn’t expect him to respond either. She shook her head and followed her friend, who stopped before the stage.“Let’s all welcome the new CEO of Morgan’s Grocer, soon to be ACE’s Family Mart!” Elise said, motioning her hand in Emerald’s direction to cue her to get on the stage. Everyone looked at her, and she never missed the gasp from Emerson, Merly, and Emerose Morgan, who were now holding their breath in disbelief, standing before her friend.Young Morgan stands in front of them wearing her bare back, off-shoulder emerald green evening dress with a slit in the front that is half of her thigh-high paired with an emerald green stiletto and adorned with jewelry made with pure emerald green crystals. She loo

Jace was so pissed at Emerald after hearing her saying I love you too to whomever he thought she called baby. He was so jealous, and even though he wanted to show her how angry he was, he tried to control himself because he knew he was at fault and thought he needed to be patient with her.The following day, he didn’t go to his office for fear that the divorce papers would be waiting for him on his desk, just like Emerald had told him. He called Kyle instead and asked him to bring everything he needed to do in his penthouse so he could work.“Why are you working here?” Kyle asked curiously. As far as he knows, Jace doesn’t like working in his penthouse. He wanted to be in his office so anyone could contact him for any problem.“I just feel like working here,” Jace replied, making

Emerald was lost for words. For days, she had been thinking about her nanny, Lucy, and the news that Liam had told her. She can’t comprehend everything in one go out of confusion. ‘Does Dad know about it?’ she asked herself before she shook her head and thought, ‘No, if he knew, he would never have let nanny Lucy leave our mansion. When it comes to money, he’s greedy and would want everyone he can use to be at his side.’“If you are not going to work, why not just go home?” The voice of the man that she didn’t want to see or think about said, making her glare at him. “I had been standing here for minutes. You’re looking at me but never saw me. What do you think I will think when I was the one who was paying you to work?” Jace continued as he walked closer to her table.“You know what,

“What’s this about?” Emerald asked angrily. She went to Jace’s office and confronted him as she showed him the summons from the court.“Exactly what it is.” Young Higginson answered casually.“What the hell are you thinking that you file a case like this?”“Why? Are you planning on letting me know about our son?” Jace asked, looking at her intently. He already knew how she would react, and he was ready.“Of course!” Emerald exclaimed.“When? We’ve been working here for months, but you don’t even give me a hint!”“After our project! I already told my son about you.”

“He’s big for his age,” Jace said as he looked at his son, who is now sleeping soundly. After he bathed him, Ace requested him to stay in his room with Emerald until he fell asleep. He looked at his wife because she didn’t say anything and found her looking at their son as well. “Emerald,” He called her, making her avert her attention to him. “Let’s talk.”“What for?” Emerald asked emotionless.“Let’s talk outside,” Jace said before looking at Ace. He didn’t want their son to hear them just in case Emerald would start to say words that were not good for the boy to hear. He wants to prevent Ace from hearing them fighting or arguing. They left the room and returned to the living room to meet Daryl, who had just come out of the kitchen.
