Chapter 60 Jacqueline's grip on my hand tightened and started to shake a little before she suddenly burst out, "That damn jerk, I'll call him right now and ask him what the hell he's thinking! Didn't he say nothing was going on with that Haley chick?" Finally, Jacqueline let go of my hand, reaching for her phone.

I flexed my hand, still tingling from her grip. "Jacqueline, I've talked to Conrad at the office. He agreed to break up, and, well..." I paused, "He got Haley a job at the company." Everything I said felt like complaining, but I wouldn't hold back any of Conrad's deeds if it had cto this.

"What?" Both of them were shocked, especially Herschel, who looked outright furious, while Jacqueline interrogated, "Didn't you say you had everything at the company under control? How did you not know about this?" It was just as I thought.

Even sitting at home, Herschel was supposed to be on top of everything happening in the company. But the comings and goings of employees, those minor details, weren't always on the radar of a CEO.

Herschel remained silent, rage in his eyes. Seeing that, Jacqueline quickly added, "Call Conrad back and ask him what's wrong." I stopped them from calling. Having Conrad there would only complicate things further.

"Jacqueline, Herschel, please. If you can't accept this, imagine how I feel. Conrad just got caught up in a scandal with Haley, and now, he's brought her into the company. He doesn't see me, his fiancée, as a priority." "Felicia, we'll make him kick her out," Jacqueline said, reaching for my hand again.

"Jacqueline, the day before our registration, he blocked Haley on all platforms to my face. But that didn't stop him from accompanying her to her prenatal appointment the next day. So, kicking Haley out won't solve the problem," I bit my lip.

"The real issue is that Conrad has Haley in his heart. He'd lie for her and ignore everything else for her." Saying that made my heart sour and embarrassed. After all this twith Conrad, I couldn't compete with the allure of a widow. I had failed.

My words left Herschel and Jacqueline speechless, and I had laid bare my feelings.

"Jacqueline, Herschel, things have just gotten out of hand betweenand Conrad. Conrad's heart will be elsewhere even if you force him to be with me." I added, "Marrying a man whose heart isn't withwill only hurt me.

If you truly care for me, you wouldn't wantto cry over a loveless marriage every night, right?" "Felicia..." Jacqueline's eyes welled up. "Conrad must be confused. Could you give him another chance, wait a bit, and let him reflect?" "Wait for what?" Herschel's voice turned sharp, "He's the one at fault here, not Felicia. Why should she wait?" Herschel's words felt like a father defending his daughter, makingemotional.

"Felicia, if Conrad can't cherish you, don't waste your ton him. Look around, and if you can't find anyone ve suitable can introduce you to sfine young men I know," Herschel began to sound more and more like a protective father. J.ne

But Jacqueline seemed anxious and shot him a glare. "What are youm talking about? Felicia can only be my daughter-in-law. I don't want her marrying into another family." What was a sad conversation turned slightly jovial with their banter.

"What, thinking of having another son?" Herschel joked.

Before Jacqueline could respond, a familiar voice cfrom the doorway, "I think that's possible."

I looked up to find Dustin standing against the light, dressed casually with a suitcase by his side. His eyes met mine, sparkling with an unspoken promise. X
