Chapter 157


    The silence was deafening, way too loud for my liking!


    Jan''s face was deathly pale, and I could tell he was ufortable in his heart. For the past decade,


    he had yed the part of my devoted partner, but mymitment to him was genuine. I had always


    treated him with respect, considering him my rock. But what had he done for me in return? When


    trouble struck, he came crawling back to me like a whipped dog and begging for my forgiveness.


    It was toote!


    "Jan, you''ve got some nerve! After causing such a terrible mess, how dare youe to me looking


    for solidarity! Have you ever thought of standing by me while Iy sick in bed and when you were with


    your mistress?" I had already risen to my feet, looking down at the pathetic man kneeling before me.


    I had been itching to p him for the longest time, and the satisfaction of finally doing so was


    indescribable!


    Jan''s face contorted, and he had the audacity to meet my gaze. "Aaliyah, I didn''t do anything to hurt


    you. You''re the only one in my heart!" Jan straightened his body as he knelt. I had no idea what


    gave him the courage to do so. If it weren''t for all the evidence I had gathered, I might have believed


    him.


    I raised my hand and pped him again. "You''re still lying even now!"


    Jan reeled from the impact, his jaw clenching in visible anger. I hated his guts.


    I pointed at him. saying, "The bastard son is Evan, right? No wonder your mother sings his praises to


    high heaven. I remember asking his teacher and finding out his name was Evan Dawson. I thought it


    was such a coincidence that he had the surname of Dawson,too. It was so funny!"


    "It has nothing to do with me!" Jan stubbornly defended himself.


    "Fine. It has nothing to do with you, huh!" I shook with fury. Actually, my body was really cooperating


    with my act. Whenever I got nervous or even slightly excited, I turned into this emotional wreck.


    "Please, my love! You''re the only one who can save Medsafe Liyah Inc. now!" Jan pleaded, his eyes


    bloodshot from desperation. "Just calm down. Let''s not make things worse. Once this blows over, I''ll


    make it up to you. I promise I’ll give you an exnation. You''ll be pleased!"


    Iughed bitterly within. “Pleased? It''s that I must make you pleased.”


    He tried everything he could to persuade me, "You don''t want to ruin everything over such a small


    matter..."


    "Small matter?" I interrupted him, staring at him fiercely.


    "No... not small!" Jan conceded, "But we can''t just watch as Medsafe Liyah Inc. falls apart!"


    I fell silent, a new n forming in my mind. He was right. I couldn''t let some little bitch destroy Medsafe


    Liyah Inc. It wasn''t the right time yet. I had to y my cards right.


    I red at Jan, my voice cold and resolute. "Listen carefully, Jan. I won''t stand by and watch


    Medsafe Liyah Inc. copse, but that''s as far as my obligation goes. Because once Gevena pulls her


    support, all our dreams will shatter. And I will be too ashamed to stand in front of her again. You''ve


    already ruined my reputation once, and I can''t let her look down on me again." I deliberately mentioned


    Gevena for leverage.


    I had to turn the tables on this situation with Jan''s guilt to continue ying this game with him.

    It essentially meant he was digging his own grave and asking for trouble.


    "Honey, you''re so right. We can''t fall for the trap of those malicious people!" Jan immediately agreed


    with me.


    "Jan, pushing for this partnership now is something I want!" I dered, "Because expanding


    Medsafe Liyah Inc. has always been my goal."


    Jan gritted his teeth, nodding in agreement. The level of restraint he was showing was impressive.


    "Or else, I wouldn''t give a damn about Medsafe Liyah Inc., because... I''ve got plenty more where that


    came from. If this one falls, I''ll just start another!" I boldly told him, my words filled with confidence and


    dominance.


    "Honey, I knew you would understand! Thank you, honey!" Jan grasped my intentions, immediately


    trying to get up and hold my hand.


    "On your kneels!" Imanded harshly.


    He promptly knelt down again!


    I cursed under my breath, “Just wait and see how much worse I can make this for you!” I hoped Logan,


    who was monitoring our exchange, could read between the lines of my words and act ordingly.


    I turned and strode upstairs, immediately dialing Gevena. I asked her to pressure Jan, and she


    proved to be a valuable ally, understanding my intentions immediately. She simply responded with an


    "OK" before hanging up.


    I quickly changed into fresh clothes and descended the stairs leisurely.


    Meanwhile, the inte was still abuzz with the scandal, the story gaining more and more attention. I


    needed to create another opportunity.
