Son-In-Law Gets an Upgrade

Chapter 1189 Sincere Advice 

“Soren, do you know any good cafes around here? We can’t just settle for anything when we finally get to see Jessica!” Veronica playfully linked arms with her cousin.

“I know. We’re quite close to Del Costa. The Blue Mountain Coffee in there is particularly famous, but it’s only open to the residents. I have a friend who works at that café, though. He can help us get in.”

Soren spoke with glee, his gaze subconsciously falling upon Jessica. He wanted nothing more than to thoroughly admire the rare beauty in front of him. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

“You’re amazing, Dear! You can actually get us into Del Costa. That’s so awesome! I’m falling more and more in love with you.” Veronica winked at Soren and even blew him a kiss,

Jessica and Alex felt so awkward that they felt goosebumps all over their bodies. Nonetheless, they forced out a couple of dry laughs but said nothing.

It was as if their permittance to enter the Blue Mountain Café was because of Soren.

“Anywhere is fine, as long as Jessica likes it,” Alex said casually. Now that Veronica had mistaken him for Jessica’s boyfriend by Veronica, Alex would definitely not embarrass Jessica. So, he decided to play this role to the best of his ability.

“Jessica, did you two really take a taxi all the way here just to buy a Barbie doll? If that’s the case, you can ride in my boyfriend’s car. He drives a Land Rover, you know. It’s so comfortable to ride in a car worth. over a million.” Jessica said proudly.

Jessica took out the car keys from her pocket and pressed the button. The headlights of the BMW parked by the road flashed. “There’s no need. I have a car. Alex and I can just ride in mine.”

Veronica never expected that Jessica could actually afford a BMW, which left her somewhat astonished. However, when she thought of her own boyfriend driving a Land Rover, which was even

more expensive. than the BMW, she felt better in no time.

“Hey, I heard you’re working at Four Seas Corporation and even became the chairman’s secretary. I didn’t expect you to be able to afford a car so soon. It seems that the chairman of Four Seas Corporation really values you!” Veronica said with a hint of sarcasm, looking at Alex as if she was looking at a poor cuckolded

man.

“Being the chairman’s secretary may be lucrative, but it’s better for a girl to have some self-respect. After all, you have a boyfriend now. Although this job offers a high salary, it’s still somewhat inappropriate,” Veronica deliberately added, wanting to see Alex and Jessica get angry at each other. It would be even better if the two started arguing right there, and it would be best if they broke up right away.

Jessica’s face turned red with anger, her fists clenched tightly. If the person in front of her was not her cousin, Jessica would have punched her in the mouth to stop her from spouting nonsense.

Of course, a bright person like Alex saw through Veronica’s petty schemes. Without changing his expression, he wrapped his arm around Jessica’s waist and said, “The money my woman earns is all due to her own abilities. Not everyone can be the secretary to the chairman of the Four Seas Corporation. The fact that she can do well and be valued by the chairman shows that she is truly outstanding.”

Jessica never expected Alex to stand up for her like that, and she couldn’t help but feel a warmth in her heart. I’d be so happy if I can have a boyfriend like Alex.

Upon thinking about it, Jessica even felt a bit envious of Heather from the past. If she were Heather, she

would never give up such an outstanding husband.

Although Veronica’s little scheme fell through, she did not feel discouraged. Instead, she thought Alex was simply saying that because he was useless.

They’re a couple, yet the girl has to use her car. There’s a high chance this guy might be a penniless loser who can’t afford a car for the rest of his life. All that talk about starting a company was probably his way of protecting his dignity.

“I was just offering Jessica some advice. There’s no other meaning behind it. Please don’t take it the wrong way. Since you guys don’t want to take my boyfriend’s Land Rover, we’ll just lead the way.” Veronica swayed her hips and got into the Range Rover.
