Be and the others rest in the cafe shop before entering customs.

“You only have 30 minutes, Jack,” She said while her eyes fixed on Dax and Noora, who sat at the other table with a man wearing a ck casual outfit — Jack’s bodyguard.

“Have you ever read the gossip in Astington?” He was curious to know what she thought about what had happened recently regarding her ex-husband.

Jack never asked about this when he visited Be at her cabin. He didn’t want to ruin her happiness. But now Be has to face reality; she couldn’t avoid it. Because, sooner orter, she and Tristan will definitely meet.

“No. Well, you know that I didn’t want to stress myself. Why did you ask? Did something happen there?” Be calmly replied, but for some unknown reason, of course, her heart slightly trembled.

Jack chuckled slightly. He could see her worry sh through her gaze.

He gave her an iPad. “Take this. I already summarized every piece of information from Astington that is rted to you… about your ex!”

Slowly, Be’s expression became sour. She didn’t expect Jack to feed her about this information right away before she flew there.

She narrowed her eyes, looking at Jack. As if wanted to scold him, “What a heartless young man!”

Jack can’t hold hisugh, looking at Be’s annoying-looking eyes.

“Oh,e on, Be! Five years already, and you still have feelings for him?” Jack casually said, wanting to tease her, but his words were like a p in Be’s face, her face red.

When he doesn’t hear Be say something, Jack starts to worry about her condition; she still harbors feelings toward Tristan Sinir, which is not good.

“Alright, just forget it. Give me the iPad, and I will delete all files—”

“Who is afraid reading about him?” Be didn’t give Jack a chance to finish his words. She red at him for a few seconds before turning her gaze to the iPad. She is now curious about the news that Jack wants her to read.

There was a proud smile now framing Jack’s face.

He continues, “I also save files rted to your work so you can read them before joining thepany. Well, you don’t have to visit the office right away; you said you would visit your grandpa—” Jack paused when he saw a frown on her forehead.

Curious about what she read now, he nced at the iPad screen.

Suddenly, a soft chuckle escaped from his lips when he saw Be read news about Tristan marrying Laura Kiels.

‘What do you expect, Be? Of course, he will marry her; she is pregnant and could give him a child, the sessor for the Sinir family…’ Be speaks to herself, trying to calm her mind while not showing much emotion reading the news.

She closed the news and read the file about theirpany. However, she got distracted by Jack’s voice.

“That’s only gossip news, Be. Don’t worry too much about that.”

“Gossip?” Be slowly lifts her head and looks at Jack. “He didn’t throw a party for her?”

Actually, Be didn’t want to talk about this, but she felt sorry for Laura because Tristan and his family treated Laura just like hers; there was no wedding party.

‘Why does he always want to hide his status from the public!?’ She wonders.

“Why didn’t they have a party?” Be casually asked.

“As I said, that’s only gossip. Sinir never makes any statement. But they also never stop that woman from uploading a few pictures on her social media when she meets Tristan. That’s why the gossip is still on fire…”

Be didn’tment anything; she pretended not to be interested, but in her heart, she was curious to know something. If they had children, he should marry Laura, right!? Why he didn’t? Did he only want a child from her?

Be found herself irritated with Tristan and his family for the first time since separating from him. They only exploit women, using them solely to produce heirs to carry on their family legacy.

‘Tsk… Tsk… Tristan, you are such a yer and jerk!! How dare you do this to all women!?’

Seeing that Be didn’t seem interested in gossiping about Tristan, Jack began to exin about theirpany.

“Be, you know ourpany was established in your country a few years ago, right?”

She nods.

“Doing business in Astington is not as easy as you think, Be. Threergepanies are difficult for us to coborate with. You already know the number onepany, right?”

“Hmm, Sinir!”

“Indeed, Sinir Corp is the biggest in Astington now. So, you can’t avoid him forever; you must prepare yourself—” Jack continues exining their business n at Astington.

“I get it! No worries about that.” Be could only smile when she realized Jack’s concern.

“Perfect! I put all the details about recent news in the business world on that iPad; you can read itter.”

Jack couldn’t deny that Be was the best in their ss. She was intelligent and rustless when she dealt with her work. It’s not wrong if they rely on her to embark on Astington Market.

“And don’t worry too much. Even though ourpany is still small in Astington, our main business was big enough to worry them. Maybe you didn’t know, but we are in the top twenty-five globally.”

Be is slightly surprised, but a few secondster, her smile blooms.

“No wonder the amount of money I had in my savings surprised me. Jack, with that money, I don’t have to work and can still livefortably…”

Jack’s face suddenly turned tense, “Be, don’t ever think that you will back down!!” he said quickly, knowing that this girl had been resting too long.

“Hahaha, don’t worry, Jack.” Be burst intoughter when she saw Jack’s panicked expression. “I won’t back down. Besides, I need money to raise my son. He has expensive hobbies…”

Jack feels relieved, but then something crosses his mind, “Did you have a n to handle Sinir? They wouldn’t stay silent if they knew Dax was part of them, right?”

Be didn’t answer him. Instead, she stood up from her seat. “Alright, your thirty minutes have finished. Bye, Jack!”

Jack chuckled, “If I have time, I will visit you…”

“Hmm, see ya!” Be waved at Jack as they left.
