Chapter 1193 A Gift From The Chairman 

“Her? She’s just a secretary. How can she possibly afford a twenty-five million house?” Veronica asked the sales assistant with a shocked expression on her face. Her emotions were getting the better of her.

“We wouldn’t make a mistake. Ms. Jessica Saffin has been busy with the renovation these past few days. I assume her house must be all set by now?” the sales assistant asked.

“Yep! The renovation is all done,” said Jessica with a smile.

So you’re just going to admit it like that?

Veronica never expected Jessica would actually admit it. After all, the latter was just a mere secretary at the Four Seas Corporation. How can she possibly have that much money to buy such an expensive villa? In the past, I thought a villa costing five million was already an astronomical figure. I didn’t expect Jessica to buy the most expensive one worth twenty-five million. This is simply too extravagant.

Ever since she was little, Veronica had always lived in the shadow of Jessica. Jessica was prettier than her, had better academic performance, and even the boy at school whom Veronica liked was also smitten with Jessica.

So, from a young age, Veronica had always been jealous of Jessica. In order to outshine her, Veronica went to Koandria for plastic surgery. She even organized group purchases for her friends in the hopes of getting to know a scion of a wealthy family.

Now that she thought about it, her actions were so ridiculous. Jessica could afford a villa worth twenty- five million, and it seemed like the massive gap between them could never be closed.

Feeling down, Veronica suddenly thought of something and hurriedly asked, “Jessica, if I remember correctly, you’re just the secretary of the chairman of the Four Seas Corporation, right? Where did you get so much money to afford such an expensive villa?”

Jessica didn’t intend to hide anything and answered honestly, “This is a gift from the chairman. I definitely don’t have the money to buy it myself.”

“A gift?” Veronica laughed out loud. It’s a fact that Four Seas Corporation is the leading enterprise of Nebula City, but despite the chairman’s wealth, he won’t just gift a secretary a house worth twenty-five million for no reason! I refuse to believe if nothing fishy is going on here.

After thinking it through, although Veronica felt somewhat envious of Jessica for being able to acquaint herself with an influential figure such as the chairman of the Four Seas Corporation, she was more sympathetic to Alex, as nearly everyone knew about him being cheated on. When a man gifted a woman a house, it was usually to keep a mistress in a love nest. It was unbelievable that Alex could keep a straight. face when he heard about the gift from Jessica.

“I never expected the chairman of Four Seas Corporation to treat you so well. However, it’s ‘no surprise, given how beautiful you are. I’m sure the chairman must feel something for you!” Veronica said, deliberately trying to stir up trouble between the two.

“I actually wish he feels something for me!” Jessica said with a hint of resentment.

If only things are just as Veronica has said, but unfortunately, Alex is just putting on a show with me. What’s the use of being beautiful? Even if I throw myself at Alex, he still won’t want me!

Veronica didn’t expect Jessica to say that and burst out laughing. She teased Alex, “Your girlfriend is already aiming for your chairman. Don’t you feel jealous? This is a matter of a man’s dignity!”

“I don’t really care. She can do whatever she likes,” said Alex nonchalantly.

Upon hearing this, Veronica felt that Alex was an idiot. His girlfriend had feelings for another man, yet he didn’t even dare to express his feelings. Wasn’t that too cowardly of him?

“Are you even a man? How can you not care even a bit after everything she said? I’m starting to think you’re just living off of her. How can a pretty face like you run a company? You’re just putting on an act in order to live off my cousin!” Veronica was dissatisfied with Alex’s indifference, so she didn’t bother to hide. her feelings and spoke harshly.

At that moment, Soren, who was also a man, couldn’t help but look down on Alex. He never expected the latter to be so spineless.

However, his interest in Jessica grew deeper. Not only is she beautiful and has a great figure, but she also owns a twenty-five million worth of villa. If I can win her over, won’t I live in luxury and comfort in the future?

“Jessica, your boyfriend doesn’t care about you at all. Spending a lifetime with someone like him is simply unfair to you. I advise you to break up with him sooner rather than later!” Soren said.

Jessica glared at the two of them. Her voice was icy when she said, “What happens between my boyfriend and me is not of your concern. Just mind your own business!”

“Jessica, Soren was only looking out for you! This man here doesn’t care about you at all. He just wants to live off of you. You’re better off with the chairman of the Four Seas Corporation! At least he has feelings. for you!” Veronica chimed in.

Today, Jessica has completely stolen my limelight. It’s good news for me if the two end their relationship over this.

“Alex is the chairman of the Four Seas Corporation and my immediate supervisor. The villa is also a gift from him!” Jessica couldn’t take it anymore and quit her modest act in front of Veronica.
