Chapter 1401:
Jack nearly choked on his own frustration. His face turned red with fury, and his breath caught in his throat.
“If you dare show up near them again, | swear I'll ruin things between you and Melvin,” he threatened. “I'll start
spreading rumors about how amazing you are and how I'm madly in love with you. Sooner or later, he'll believe
we're together.”
Jessica's fists clenched at her sides. She took a long breath. Then another. Eventually, she forced herself to nod.
“Fine. | won't seek them out. But if they cto me, that’s on them—not me.”
“You won't have to worry about that,” Jack replied confidently. He was sure his parents wouldn't approach Jessica
unless something truly serious cup.
With everything now agreed upon, the two of them stepped out of Jack’s office. But luck had other plans. Right
as they exited, they ran into none other than Hector Bowman, Jack’s father, accompanied by his secretary.
The instant Jack saw him, he froze in place like a deer in headlights. Every muscle in his body went rigid. “Dad?
What are you doing here?”
His voice wavered slightly, a tinge of panic leaking through. His mind raced—had Melvin told Hector something?
“Just cto see how your company’s holding up,” Hector said coolly, standing squarely in the entrance.

“It’s doing fine,” Jack replied quickly, sweat beading across his brow. He was clearly rattled. “Didn't you say
you'd only check in after three years? There's still a year left!”
Hector didn’t answer immediately. But that silence only made Jack squirm harder.
“I've heard you've been partying non-stop and ignoring your responsibilities,” Hector finally said, his tone sharp
with disapproval. “Speople are even saying you've run the company into the ground.”
“That's ridiculous!” Jack cried, his voice rising in desperation. “Don’t believe everything you hear!”
Hector’s eyes narrowed. “You sure they're just rumors?”
“Of course!” Jack insisted, trying to hold his composure.

“Then I'll go inside and see for myself,” Hector said, clearly unconvinced.
Jack was momentarily paralyzed. Letting his father step inside would spell disaster. With Hector’s eye for detail,
he’d see right through everything. Jack had no idea what move to make next—completely stuck, with his mind
racing and no clear way out.

“Jessica?” Hector’s eyes lit up. “What are you doing here?”
“I needed his help with something,” Jessica answered smoothly, then added with a polite smile, “And you? What
