They Want Me Back When It's Too Late (Jessica and Brian) novel Chapter 63

Chapter 63

When people were at a loss for words, they would often laugh instead. Jessica’s lips curled into a mocking smile, and she said. “Oh? Then I won’t resign.

The moment the words left her lips Madeline’s expression frore slightly. Forcing a smile, she said, “That’s really great news, Jessi.”

Your smile doesn’t seem sincere,” Jessica joked.

Madeline insisted. Jessi, I genuinely hope you’ll stay. If you’re resigning because of me, my conscience won’t be at peace.

Madeline, drop that act. No matter what kind of relationship you have with Jacob or Brian, you had better not offend me.” Jessica issued her final warning

The blame for the affair was not on one person alone. She would not place all the fault on Madeline while turning a blind eye to Brian’s betrayal.

With that, she picked up her phone from the conference table and announced. Tm leaving. You have Brian and Jacob now.”

She walked away decisively, not sparing even a glance at Brian.

Just as she said. Brian and Jacob were no longer her family, so she would never look back.

At that moment, Madeline was sure that Jessica had completely let go of Brian and Jacob.

She had spent years carefully imitating Jessica, striving to match her in every way, even losing herself in the process, just to secure her place by Brian’s side.

In the end, the very things she had longed for and fought so hard to obtain were things Jessica discarded without hesitation.

Madeline felt like she was a clown. What she thought Jessica cared about most, and what she thought she stole from Jessica, turned out to be something Jessica didn’t even want.

Unaware of Madeline’s inner turmoil, Jessica returned to her office. She gathered her belongings in preparation to leave.

Suddenly, the door was pushed open. Brian entered and locked it.

He demanded. Jessica, are you really determined to divorce me, huh? Are you really prepared to give up on Jake?”

His eyes were slightly red. Whether from anger or something else was unclear.

“You should’ve received the court summons by now. Mr. Atkinson, we are both adults. I don’t have time to waste on you.” Jessica glanced at Brian once, then lowered her head to continue packing the small items on her desk.

“Even if we get divorced.…..” He paused, his voice deeper. “You don’t have to resign.”
