"The boss's wife?"
This title completely baffled Jeff.
"Who is my future wife?" Jeff asked.
Michael Harper shook his head and said, "You're such a pig-headed idiot. You're an employee of Horizon Group now, right? Then your boss is Chairman Sterling, and Chairman Sterling's future wife is your ex-sister-in-law, my daughter Jessica Harper!"
"The family intends to arrange a marriage between Jessica and Horizon Group. If this goes through, you'll be part of our family again. Hehe, you really are destined to be part of the Harper family." Jessica beamed.
Jeff looked at his ex-sister-in-law in surprise. "I say, Jessica, are you so sure that Chairman Sterling will take a liking to you?"
Jeff had just escaped the clutches of the Harper family and divorced Emily, and only a few days later, he was already being targeted by Jessica!
How much did Jeff owe the Harper family in his past life that the women of the family kept pestering him in this life?
Jessica snorted coldly. "No man could remain indifferent to me! I've always kept myself pure and have never had a boyfriend. If I take the initiative, Chairman Sterling will definitely take a liking to me!"
"Also, I've always suspected that the person who gave Grandma the jade bracelet worth millions was Chairman Sterling! I plan to go back and investigate properly; maybe Chairman Sterling has been a fan of mine for a long time!"
Jeff smiled, surprised that his ex-sister-in-law had so much confidence in him.
But upon closer reflection, with so many fans online and receiving at least a thousand private messages from men every day, it was enough to make any woman inflated with ego.
When Jessica brought up the matter of the congratulatory gift again, Jeff said, "No need to investigate. That bracelet was given by Chairman Sterling of Horizon Group."
"Ah!"
Upon hearing Jeff's words, Jessica jumped up excitedly, grabbed Jeff's clothes, and asked eagerly:
"Really? Really? It really was from Chairman Sterling? I knew my intuition was right! Dad, did you hear that? Chairman Sterling really does like me!"
Michael was so happy he couldn't speak. The chairman of Horizon Group had given the Harper family such a big gift. If it wasn't for Jessica, then who else could it be for!
Michael said happily, "I never expected that my future son-in-law the chairman of Horizon Group! I'm going to tell my mother about this when I get back; she'll be so happy!"
Jeff looked at Michael and snorted with disgust. The chairman of Horizon Group had already been the Harpers' son-in-law for three years!
But they had never once smiled at him!
To think that they could believe that Jeff could or would marry into the Harper family again was simply a pipe dream!
Jessica couldn't wait to see Chairman Sterling, so she grabbed Jeff's clothes and asked, "Where is Chairman Sterling now? I want to see him."
Jeff said, "He is meeting with guests in the reception room."
It wasn't surprising that Horizon Group, a company of this size, had more than one reception room. Jessica didn't think much of it and continued to ask:
"Why haven't they come out yet? Are the guests difficult to deal with?"
Jeff nodded. "Yes, the clients are a father and daughter. The father is a snob, while the daughter is quite pretty and dressed up. She's trying to seduce Chairman Sterling. I doubt he'll be out of there anytime soon."
Jessica was furious upon hearing this. "That woman is so shameless! How could she be so brazen in Chairman Sterling's company! No wonder Chairman Sterling hasn't come to see us for so long. Which room are they in? I'm going to go and slap that bitch!"
Michael quickly pulled Jessica back. "Don't be impulsive! We can't afford to make a bad first impression on Chairman Sterling! Let's wait here a little longer."
Jeff glanced at the two of them disdainfully, said nothing, and left.
After a while, Secretary Brooks came over and said, "Mr. Harper, Ms. Harper, Chairman Sterling has left the company on business and said you should go back first."
"Ah?"
The two, who had waited for a full hour, were both somewhat disappointed.
"Did Chairman Sterling say when he'll be free? Is he coming to the company this afternoon?" Michael asked.
Secretary Brooks shook her head. "I don't know either."
"All right."
Michael and Jessica left somewhat disappointed, but their visit to Horizon Group was not entirely fruitless.
At least they now knew that it was Chairman Sterling who sent Old Madam Harper a congratulatory gift worth tens of millions!
As soon as he left the building, Michael made a phone call and invited the Harper family members to Sterling Heights Villa.
Robert and Susan hadn't left yet, but Emily, who had already left, was called back.
"What's wrong? You just left and then called me back. Did the contract go through?"
Emily arrived, looking travel-worn, with her car keys in her hand.
Jessica glanced proudly at Emily, who had arrived late, and only spoke after everyone had arrived:
"It's not about the contract. I have another piece of good news to announce. The person who gifted the jade bracelet worth millions on the day of the birthday banquet was none other than Chairman Sterling from Horizon Group!"
"What? It was a gift from Chairman Sterling?" Robert couldn't believe it.
Emily felt a little sad. Ever since she found out that Jeff had stolen something from the Harper family, she really thought that the bracelet was a gift from Jeff.
Susan said, "What's so special about this? Chairman Sterling and Ms. Lang are lovers, and Ms. Lang has a good relationship with our Harper family, so it's not strange that he also sent a gift."
Michael laughed and said, "Susan, Chairman Sterling and Ms. Lang have already broken up! If he gave it to Ms. Lang, why did he give it to her separately at the end? His gift could have been placed together with Ms. Lang's gift."
According to etiquette, gifts are not given separately to couples or boyfriends/girlfriends.
Moreover, Victoria Lang seemed unaware that Chairman Sterling had given a gift to the Harper family that day.
Susan: "So you mean..."
Jessica said proudly, "Is there even a question? Chairman Sterling must have given Grandma the gift because of me! Back then, my sister hadn't divorced Jeff yet!"
After hearing this, Old Madam Harper smiled with satisfaction and said, "Your analysis makes sense! I knew all along that the man who gave the gift must be a man who likes Jessica, but I never expected that this man would be the chairman of Horizon Group! Our Harper family's luck has turned around!"
Jessica said obediently, "Grandma, I will definitely work hard with Chairman Sterling to develop our family and elevate our Harper family to a first-class family in Riverforge!"
Old Madam Harper beamed from ear to ear, affectionately stroking Jessica's face, and said, "Good, good, my granddaughter is so promising!"
These words sounded extremely harsh to Emily.
Over the years, she had been working hard for the Harper family, but she had never received any praise from her grandmother.
Emily asked, "Who told you these things? Is the information credible?"
Jessica said, "It was your good-for-nothing ex-husband who said it, so of course it's believable!"
"Grandma, Chairman Sterling was too busy this morning and didn't have time to see us. I'll go to the company to see him by myself this afternoon. Don't worry, I can handle the contract all by myself!"
Jessica assured the Harper family of her guarantee.
"Well done!" Old Madam Harper praised happily.
Jessica, beaming with pride, said to Emily, "Sister, if you're free this afternoon, why don't you be my driver and take me to Horizon Group?"
