    Chapter 19 The Shocking Reveal


    It wasn’t until the sun had risen from the horizon that Micha noticed she hadn’t slept a wink.


    Jacob’s tantrum hadsted until the early morning. When he saw the mess he had made, he drove out


    on his own after mming the door shut.


    It turned out that that was the first time Micha had gone against Jacob’s wishes and stood her ground.


    She had always been worried about the stress her father had to go through while keeping thepany


    running. Since he was able to make something of himself in the highlypetitive business world, it was


    only natural to assume how tough his life had been.


    That was why Micha majored in marketing at university. She wanted to lessen her father’s burden in


    the future.


    However, no one appreciated the work she had done because of her status as the eldest daughter of the


    Lingard family.


    Nheless, she knew sess was through hard work, so she had been working hard to prove her


    worth.


    After what happened the night before, Micha realized that the rtionship she thought she had with


    her father was nothing but an illusion. He was unreasonable, and his love for me was nothing but a ploy


    for his financial gains. Today is a new day, and more challenges lie ahead. I must be prepared for


    whateveres my way.


    She got out of bed and brought a set of clean clothes to the bathroom. She wanted to take a bath to


    wash her exhaustion away.


    As expected, all the media talked about was the canceled marriage between the Xander family and the


    Lingard family.


    Hence, Micha wasn’t fazed by the news headlines she saw on her phone after getting out of the


    bathroom.


    Before she could tap into the articles written about the marriage, her phone rang. She instantly frowned


    when she saw the number of the iing call. She picked up the phone and asked in an angry tone,


    “Everything is happening ording to what you’ve said. So why are you calling me again?”

    “I’m calling to tell you to ignore the things you read on the inte. Stay at home today, and this fiasco


    will blow over eventually.”


    After a moment of silence, Micha suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity gradually


    ovepping with a certain figure in her mind. That deep and powerful voice…


    Without much thought, she blurted out, “Mr. Jonathan? Are you Mr. Jonathan?”


    “Yes. It’s me.” Jonathan didn’t bother to deny it. Instead, a slight smile appeared on his face after


    Micha had guessed his identity right.


    Micha, on the other hand, was bewildered. She froze in her bed because she couldn’tprehend


    the shocking revtion. Does this mean it has been Mr. Xander all along? But why? Isn’t Zack his


    nephew? He has no reason to do what he did! Could it be because of my grandfather? Is he doing this


    for the sake of justice? Why didn’t he reveal his identity from the beginning, then? He made me think that


    he was a person with ulterior motives!


    While Micha was still pondering, she heard the gentle and calm voice saying, “You can call me if you


    need anything. All right, that’s all for now.”


    “Wait!” Micha finally came back to her senses when she heard that he was hanging up. She then


    asked anxiously, “Mr. Jonathan, w-why are you doing this?”


    “What if I told you that I’m doing it for you?” His voice was melodious and alluring.


    At that moment, Micha could feel her ears burning up, and the burning sensation was spreading


    toward her fingers. She almost tossed her phone away because of that.


    For some unknown reason, she started blushing, and she could feel her heart pounding frantically.
