"Mr. Jade, because of you, I have already endured enough shame. Everyone in Star City calls me a homewrecker… shameless… but what have I truly gained? To this day, you're only the young master of the Jade family. Mr. Jade, between you and me, it has always been like this."
"Mr. Jade, please let me go. I am willing to cut ties with you completely and return you to Eclipse. I believe this way, she will no longer cling to me."
Jessica looked weary but determined, as if tired of carrying the weight of their secrets.
Yet, her voice held a sad, distant strength.
She'd devoted more than a decade to winning Robert, but Eclipse had pushed her to this point.
If she didn't let go of Robert now, her reputation would be ruined forever.
After all that time and energy, she had never gained anything real. Jessica couldn't help but feel a surge of resentment.
