Chapter 643:
Now, she had discovered that Samuel and Delores were not her biological parents.
She couldn’t help but wonder how much of her life had been built on a lie. She no longer knew who was real or who to trust.
This thought created a heavy knot in Jenessa’s chest. She took a deep breath and thought of Brinley and Richard.
This brought a faint smile to her lips.
At least these two people were true to her.
In a few days, she would be engaged to Richard.
Rubbing her belly gently, Jenessa whispered, “Don’t worry, sweethearts. All these unpleasant memories will soon be a thing of the past p>
The following morning, Jenessa arrived at the studio, bracing herself for the day ahead.
As soon as she stepped through the door, her assistant gathered the rest of the team, and they erupted in cheers.
“You’ve got two big reasons to celebrate! You’re getting engaged next week, and you’ve been selected as a judge for the International Design Competition. We’re all so thrilled for you p>
“Exactly! We heard Mr. Lloyd has booked the grandest hotel in town for your engagement party. It’s going to be huge p>
“Talk about winning at life—both in love and your career p>
Their smiles and kind words lifted Jenessa’s spirits, and the gloom from the day before began to fade.

She returned their warmth with a smile of her own and made a cheerful promise.
“I’m inviting everyone to my engagement party next week. Make sure you all come p>
“Count on it. We wouldn’t miss it for the world p>
“A party that extravagant? Who’d pass up the chance to see something like that? We’ll be there with bells on p>
With that, the team went back to their workstations, still laughing and chatting.
Jenessa took a deep breath, feeling more at ease, and signaled for her assistant to join her in her office. As she settled into her chair, her thoughts drifted to the International Design Competition she would soon be part of.
Turning to her assistant, she said, “Bring me all the materials for the competition p>
In the past, she had only ever watched the event from the audience. But this time was different—she’d be on the judging panel. She needed to be prepared, to dive deep into the details, and to make sure she was ready for this new challenge.
The assistant carefully placed the documents on Jenessa’s desk, her voice soft but efficient.
“Take your time. I’ll step out. Just call if you need anything p>
“Alright,” Jenessa replied with a nod, her attention quickly turning to the competition summaries and the profiles of this year’s contenders.
Moments later, a knock sounded at the door. The assistant peeked in.
“Sloane, there’s a client here to see you p>
Jenessa frowned. Odd—she hadn’t scheduled any appointments for the day.
“Let them in,” she said.
The sharp click of high heels echoed across the floor as a familiar figure appeared in the doorway.
