NovelFinishChapter 788 "Since I divorced and returned to the company, I realized Jessica had been telling the truth. Our company did not go bankrupt.
"That was a lie you told me. You were hoping that I'd never contact you again after you madego through with the divorce," Casper said.
He couldn't understand why he had no control over his life or why his parents felt the need to interfere.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe added darkly, "You were always talking about how the company was thriving without me, so why bother askingto return? If I didn't know better, I'd think the company has had another crisis-one that neither you nor your think-tank could resolve.
"So, you devised a plan to lureback to the company to handle the crisis for you. But as soon as the problem is solved, you'd find a way to havethrown out of the company again." In hindsight, Zane had treated Casper better than Gary and Julia did. He had enough confidence in Casper to leave him in charge of an entire project, and he wasn't stingy when it cto profit-sharing, either.
Gary and Julia, on the other hand, wouldn't even write Casper a paycheck despite all the work he'd done for the company.
Toward the end, Casper's voice grew quiet. "I won't be guaranteed a permanent position in the family business." Gary believed Casper was only airing his grievances. He was certain the young man was desperate to return to the family business. "If you do as we say..." "I don't want to hear what you have to say, nor do I plan on returning." Casper bit out icily, "Don't ctoabout anything that has to do with the business from now on. Handle the crises on your own." With that, he hung up.
Gary and Julia were rendered speechless.
Casper was right when he guessed that the company was in trouble and that only he could handle it. However, they hadn't expected him to be so stubborn.
Julia asked, "Have we taken things too far?" Gary snorted, oblivious to his flaw, as he snapped, "In what way? What would have happened had Casper taken charge of the family business and married Jessica afterward?" He began gesturing at the air. "Jessica would have squandered our money, that's what!" Gary had a valid point; that much Julia would admit.
"But the problem now is that Casper refuses to return to the company." Things would be easier if he did. Julia asked, "Should we compromise with him?" "No way!" Gary scoffed arrogantly. "Compromising is not an option. You've seen the way Jessica spends her money. How many men can put up with that before they grow tired of her antics? "I reckoned she would call us in a couple of days, weeping on the phone and begging us to forgive her. When that happens, we can bend her to our will!" Julia considered this and nodded in agreement, not that it eased the anxious knot in her stomach. "Let's hope so."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmGary argued, "Hope? No. When it comes to Jessica, you know m right." Upon hearing this, Julia could only comfort herself by recounting the years she had been married to Gary. Not once had he made the wrong decision, and she could only hope that today's incident was no exception.
Casper was already waiting in the om café when Jessica arrived. It had been months since they last saw each other. She unconsciously caressed her baby bump as memories of her first pregnancy flickered through her mind. She and Casper were still married, and he cherished her. He protected and cared for her to the point of overindulgence.
Jessica remembered grinning at Casper's pure smile At the time, she felt like she had married the right person.
