The Reclaimed Rose (Annalise and Steven) novel Chapter 436

Spite welled up in Yvonne. She hadn't received any education in art when she was a child. If she did and had such a fine opportunity to make money from it, she would have seized it immediately.

She said with a hint of desperation, "Sleep on it, will you? Jessica, I'm not joking. I've seen Huxham Corporation's revenue share structure. It's one of the best in the industry.

"You might not even get such benefits if you joined another company." She pressed, "You'll regret it if you pass this up."

Jessica had to admit that she was tempted by Yvonne's argument. "I'll talk to Steven and see if I can persuade him to sponsor me."

Yvonne heaved a sigh of relief at Jessica's assent. "I await your good news."

"Okay."

After hanging up, Jessica made her way down to the first floor and headed for the garden. She perched on the swing as she took in the lush greenery around her, her lips curling.

Steven was nothing more than a dog to her now. He might not love her, but she could manipulate him into doing what she wanted. She fished out her phone and called him.

Steven was sulking after Annalise had rejected him in public. Glumly, he answered Jessica's call and asked, "Is something wrong?"

Jessica hummed before answering softly, "Annalise picked on me again."

Steven's temple throbbed as he heard the same old line from Jessica. She always made up stories like this and played the victim to get him to confront Annalise.
