Chapter 1396:
“If you want your father to hear about the mess you've made with your startup’s finances, then by all means—
stay put.”
Melvin warned, his voice low but sharp. He hadn’t shown up unarmed. Over the past few days, he had quietly
dug into Jack’s background, just in case Jack ever csniffing around Jessica again.
Jack’s smirk disappeared in a flash. “You've been investigating me?”
“Next door. I'll be waiting,” Melvin said coolly before turning and walking into the adjacent room.
Jack, visibly shaken, shoved the women off him and stood up to follow. Just as he slipped inside, Jessica arrived—
catching the tail end of Jack walking into the private room behind Melvin.
Her heart clenched tight in her chest. Melvin had said he didn’t care, yet here he was, facing Jack head-on. What

and I'll erase your little startup mess. But if you treat Jessica badly, | have more than enough ways to make your
life miserable.”
The longer Jack listened, the more confused he became. Just as he was about to speak, the door burst open.
Jessica stormed in, her face a mixture of panic and frustration. Before either man could speak, she turned to
Melvin and snapped, “This is what you call urgent? Coming here to talk to Jack?”
“No,” Melvin replied instantly, his earlier confidence crumbling.
“Then what are you doing here?” Jessica pressed.

“He toldto dump all my girlfriends and commit to you,” Jack cut in, clearly enjoying himself. His voice held a
mocking lilt. “I mean, since when was—"
“Shut up!” Jessica barked, cutting him off.
Jack opened his mouth to argue but went silent when he saw the fire blazing in her eyes.
