Chapter 24 Is It Related to Iwan?

An hour ago when Iwan finished the call, he looked around for Emily downstairs in the hall where Emily was nowhere to be seen. He thought Jacey must have taken Emily somewhere else, so he went to the surrounding area.

It took him some time to find Jacey and Emily in front of a store behind the hotel where Emily was enjoying an ice cream Jacey had bought. It seemed that Jacey liked Emily very much. Seeing that, Iwan walked over.

"Jacey," Iwan called her with a smile.

Jacey nodded at Iwan, saying, "Hi, Iwan. I'm sorry for what my parents said. They just can't bear to see my sister suffer. Although they have been worried about her as a single mother over the past few years, they are just too stubborn to show their care for her and so are my sister."

Iwan nodded. "Don't worry. I won't take their words seriously. It's my fault for being back too late to prevent Jayna and Emily from suffering. Since I'm back, I won't leave them alone again. I've been ready to take good care of them. But I'd like you to help me convince your parents to allow me to take my time. I'll prove myself to be a good husband to them."

Jacey breathed deeply before nodding and saying, "I believe you, Iwan."

Iwan was stunned and looked at her in confusion. "Do you believe me?"

Jacey nodded. "Yes. I can feel your genuine affection and concern for my sister and Emily, which I believe matters more than wealth or a decent job. Besides, my sister isn't that materialistic. So she'll be happy as long as you're nice to her."

Hearing that, Iwan was so touched. He nodded and then fell silent as her words impressed themselves on his memory.

"Dad, do you want ice cream? Aunt Jacey bought it for me and it's very delicious. Just have a taste of it." Emily handed the ice cream joyfully to Iwan who took her from Jacey's arms, tasted it with a laugh, and said, "Wow, it's so sweet. But I've got an upset stomach, so just enjoy it yourself."

Emily nodded and buried herself in the ice cream. Since this was a rare feast for her, she ate very slowly.

Just as Iwan wanted to talk to Emily, a stylish woman walked over, stopped at Jacey's side, and glanced at her, saying, "Jacey, are you still in a mood for a chat here? Have you gotten the offer from the department of Mellon Group where you worked as an intern since you're graduating next month?"

Jacey's face darkened and she talked back, "It has nothing to do with you. Autumn Isbell, just mind your own business."

The girl called Autumn Isbell said arrogantly, "Jacey, stop daydreaming about the offer. This is the price you have to pay for offending Mr. Piper. You deserve it! What good news it is! By the way, I've got my offer. So you'd better be ready to look for another job one month later."

"Autumn, shut up!" Jacey was instantly furious and shouted at her. But Autumn ignored her and turned to leave without staying any longer.

"What's wrong, Jacey? Do you want to land a job in Mellon Group?" Iwan asked.

"Shame on you! I know how you hooked Mr. Piper. You're so shameless! I will disdain to receive an offer from such a filthy company!" Jacey shouted angrily, clenching her fists.

Then she looked at Iwan and took a deep breath to calm herself down. "I'm good, Iwan. That girl is my college classmate who has been finding fault with me. When we spent the internship together at Mellon Group last year, she always tripped me up and even hooked the director in charge of interns. Well, it seems that I have no chance of getting an offer from Mellon Group. But I'm just so disgusted at her flamboyant style. Iwan, is it inevitable to deal with those boring people at the workplace?"

Seeing Jacey's frustrated expression, Iwan smiled and comforted her. "Not necessarily. I heard of Mellon Group, only second to Cleveland Group among the big companies in Pasoland City. Given that such a top company tends to have a good reputation, I think the director and that girl called Autumn you are talking about are only a few exceptions."

Jacey nodded, somewhat upset. "Alas, I know. But I can do nothing with them since I'm just a nobody. It seems that I won't get the offer according to what Autumn said just now. Actually, I prefer Mellon Group to Cleveland Group. What a shame I can't work there."

Iwan smiled, saying, "Don't despair, Jacey. Anything is possible. Maybe you'll get an offer soon."

Jacey smiled carelessly. "It's no big deal, Iwan. Could you stay here to watch Emily while I go upstairs to see how their conversation goes? I need to check on my sister since Krista has always found fault with her since she was a kid."

Iwan nodded in agreement. "Alright. Just go ahead."

After Jacey left, Iwan took out his phone to text Warrior No.1. "My wife's sister was an intern at Mellon Group, called Jacey Brown. Her director with Piper as his surname abused his position and had an affair with a female intern called Autumn Isbell. Just let Eden deal with this matter."

After Iwan sent the message, Emily asked curiously, "Dad, what are you doing?"

Iwan replied with a smile, "I'm texting Uncle Warrior No.1 Do you like him?"

Emily nodded cheerfully. "Of course. I like Uncle Warrior No.1 and he also likes me. Dad, could you let him come to play with me sometime?"

Smiling, Iwan nodded. "No problem. What about tomorrow?"

Emily agreed readily and then was brought to a park in the distance by Iwan. At the same time, at the headquarters of Cleveland Group, Warrior No.1 received the message from Iwan while having a meeting with Eden and Dawson. He glanced at the message and then handed the phone to Eden whose expression immediately changed after reading the message.

Eden thought, 'Lord of Heaven Domain's sister-in-law was bullied by my employees? Damn it, what a disaster!' He was so scared in a cold sweat and wasn't in the mood for the meeting, charging toward a manager of his company and snarling, "Do you have a man called Nikhil Piper working under you who is in charge of interns?"

The manager instantly turned pale with fear and hurriedly nodded. "Yes. What's wrong, Mr. Addison? What happened to him?"

Eden snapped at him with a pale face, "Get him out of my company right now, as well as that girl called Autumn Isbell working for him! Besides, hasten to call an intern whose name is Jacey Brown to inform her of the offer with a high salary. Hurry up! Settle it within ten minutes, or you'll be fired too!"

Eden's words instantly left the manager dumbfounded. Then the manager stumbled out of the meeting room as he dialed Nikhil's number, snarling, "Nikhil, son of a bitch, you've been fired! Get out of the company right now, as well as Autumn Isbell working under you! I won't let go of you!"

When he finished snarling, he hung up the phone, logged on to the company's system, looked up Jacey's phone number, and then dialed. "Hello? Is this Jacey Brown, Miss Brown?"

Panting heavily, the manager still tried his best to sound respectful despite his intense anxiety. "Hello, this is Dexter Orris, administrative director of Mellon Group. According to the recent internal rectification, we've found that Nikhil Piper abused his position as your director. He has been fired. Besides, I found that he'd assessed your files as disqualified and selected some incapable interns like Autumn Isbell instead. So I'm calling you to offer our apologies, as an attempt to ask your pardon for this mistake. Miss Brown, Mellon Group welcomes excellent college graduates like you to join us. So you don't have to wait until you graduate and can come to go through the onboarding process whenever you're available. Apart from that, you'll be offered double salaries given your impressive performance during the internship. If you have no problem with it, I'll mail you the contract right now."

At the moment, Jacey, who had walked into Jayna's room in the hotel, was directly stunned by the call. She hung up the phone in a daze and then stared blankly at the offer from the administrative director of Mellon Group in her mailbox on the phone.

Although William and the others had left, Skyler looked at Jacey still with a gloomy face. "Jacey, what are you busy with? Stop being glued to your phone and spare a thought for your sister! Have you talked with Iwan downstairs, right? Then what do you think of him from the perspective of an adult?" Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

Hearing her words, Jacey looked up thoughtfully as she seemed to realize something. She was wondering if this offer had anything to do with Iwan since she received it just after Iwan had made such a prediction downstairs. What was more, the director who called her seemed to sound very anxious and scared.

But soon she was stupefied by this sudden idea since it was so absurd and impossible. The more she was uncertain about it, the more she couldn't help thinking that this offer was related to Iwan despite a lack of evidence.

"Jacey, are you listening to your mom? What's your opinion of Iwan? Do you think he's good?" Luis repeated Skyler's question since Jacey was silent.

"What do you expect to be good about a poor soldier? Even if he's a nice guy, will he be rich enough to support Jayna and the kid?" Skyler snorted with contempt and never expected any good comments on Iwan from Jacey.

But what Jacey said next made the other three people in the room look up in surprise.

"Dad, mom, I think Iwan's nice and capable enough to take good care of Jayna and make her happy. I just have such an intuition despite a lack of proof."

After she said that, she turned to look at Jayna who was staring at her in a fog. "Jayna, I believe Iwan is really nice and you two will have a happy ending."

Luis and Skyler were both stunned since they didn't expect Jacey to think so highly of Iwan.

But Jacey was increasingly suspicious and wondering, 'Is it a coincidence or the result of Iwan's help?'

Her suspicion was hardening especially when she remembered that Iwan seemed so confident while talking to her downstairs.
