When the call connected, she gave Jack a deadly gaze before speaking to Stefan.

"Stefan, do you know the rtionship between the CEO of Ster Entertainment and our lovely boss?"

Jack’s eyes widen in shock.

Upon seeing Jack’s reaction, Be was confident of her correct guess. She pressed the speaker button before Stefan could speak. Then, she shes Jack an angry-cold smile.

Jack’s calm demeanor dissolved instantly.

"Of course, I know. I did include it in my report, right?" Stefan’s hoarse voice came from the other end as if he had just awakened from sleep.

Be’s half-smile slowly appears on her lips as she looks at Jack.

She took a deep breath before responding to Stefan, pretending to be disappointed that he had forgotten to include that. If she had known about Jack’s connection to the CEO of Ster Entertainment earlier, she would have made a deal with Jack.

"Huh... Really!?" Stefan was shocked to realize he had made a mistake. How could he not include the critical information in the report?

"Mhm, you didn’t..."

"Sorry, sister Be," He feels terrible. "Well, he is Jack’s brother-inw. I guess Jack already knows about it, but he pretends—"

"Okay, Stefan. Thanks for your hard work." Jack shouted before this young man exposed him. "—Go back and sleep again. I know there in the middle of the night!"

Stefan, who had just yawned while scratching his head, was surprised to hear Jack’s voice on the other end. His still half-open eyes widened.

"B-Boss, are you at Sister Be’s ce? Why didn’t you ask me to go with you to Astington!? You are so heartless," he feels sulked.

Be could onlyugh amusedly, seeing Jack acting awkwardly in front of her. He let her talk to Stefan for a few more seconds.

After the phone ended, Be couldn’t help but say, "Damn it, Jack Foster! I can’t believe you used me to fire your brother-inw. You such a coward!"

Jack’s face instantly turned grim, as if someone had spat in his food after hearing Be’s words. He couldn’t deny what Be had said. She was correct in her assessment; hecked the courage to terminate his wife’s brother from his job.

He was concerned that if he took such an action, it would cause his wife to be angry with him and could even kick him out of their bed. This would cause a lot of trouble for him if it were to happen, right!?

Despite being aware of his brother-inw’s inability to run theirpany in this country, Jack chose to ignore it.

He began looking for someone who could take up the responsibility on his behalf to fire his brother-inw.

After trying to find someone who could help him, only Be came to his mind, who could do that for him.

That’s why he chased Be several years ago, trying to convince her to return to thepany and clean up the mess his brother-inw had made.

"Kind and pretty, Be... that’s why I need your help," Jack’s lips lifted into a miserable smile before he said, "You know my wife, right? She’ll sulk in a few days, no, a month, and throw me out if I fire her brother," he took another long, deep sigh.

Be, "...."

He speaks with a miserable tone and asks, "Don’t you feel sorry for me?" his eyes lost their usual radiance.

Be huffed in frustration, taking a deep breath to calm herself, looking at his tant act.

"Ugh! Mr. Jack Foster, don’t try to fool me. Since when did your wife direct you inpany decision-making?" Be rolled her eyes, not believing his lie.

Jack, "..."

Looking at his man still trying to fool her, an idea appears in her mind.

A barely invisible smile graces her face before she pretends to be shocked, closing her mouth with one hand before saying,

"No way, Jack!! Don’t tell me that now you are a member of the... ’Husbands Afraid of Wives’ club? No?" She blinked her eyes several times, waiting for him to respond.

’What the hell is that? That kind of club exists in this world!? Seriously?’ Jack frowned, thinking about Be’s words.

Didn’t get any response, she continued, "Is it? Oh my... I feel sorry for you, my friend."

Jack can’t take it anymore. He will never win talking to her.

"Alright... Alright... what do you need?" he gave up talking to this smart-heartless woman. "Ind? Yatch? Jet? Penthouse?

Just tell me what you need. I will dly give you..."

"Oh, you learn fast, boss," she said calmly. But inside, she wasughing with joy. Finally, Jack gave in. She needed to hear this all along: "Okay, boss, I don’t need those items. But I only need a few shares."

Jack was speechless. He didn’t expect her to choose shareholder over the luxury items he offered.

"Be, how could you ask my share? Did you know I already gave Stefan some of my shares?" Jack protests. He could give her anything but not RDF Group share.

Be ignores his annoyance. She takes her cell phone while typing something.

"Boss, don’t me me if I send the wrong text to your wifey," Be pauses. Her eyes widen. She covers her mouth with her hand and looks at Jack with her sorry gaze. "OMG! B-Boss, I just sent a..."

Jack was rendered speechless. Was this woman aware that she didn’t have the talent to be an actress? Her acting was terrible.

"Sigh! Alright, alright. I will transfer you 0,25 percent of my share. This is the best I can give you..."

Be, ignore Jack. With her innocent expression, she continued, "Ah, it seems like I didn’t send the details to my sister-inw. Ugh, I have to edit my text now. I should tell my sister-inw that you were actually nning how to get her brother out of thepany."

Jack, "...."

He shook his head while remembering those lines he had read in the past, "Women sure are creatures that are hard to deal with." And Be’s just proves those lines.

Sigh!
