A Life Beyond Limits novel Chapter 964

Seeing her mother so insistent, Wilhelmina had no choice but to give up resisting. She decided to wait for a better opportunity to remove the bracelet and return it to the Lycan family.

Mavis asked curiously, "Emily, why isn't Jack here today?"

She had originally hoped Jack and Wilhelmina might get some time alone, but only Wilhelmina had shown up.

Emily gave a faint, wry smile. "He's upstairs and hasn't come down. I'm not sure what he's busy with, but he's been quite preoccupied lately."

She then said to Wilhelmina, "Why don't you wait a bit for Jack? He'll be out soon. Please don't take it to heart."

Emily had grown noticeably gentler in her attitude toward Wilhelmina.

In the past, Jack had confidently declared that he would surpass Wilhelmina one day. Back then, he was the founder of Genesis Games. Now that the company had been acquired, Jack was left with nothing.

Thinking back to the wager they had once made, Emily could no longer hold her head high. She had to admit that the chances of her son catching up to Wilhelmina on his own were slim to none. That was why she'd become so gracious and kind.

Of course, it would be ideal for Jack and Wilhelmina to marry. But if it didn't work out, Emily still hoped Wilhelmina might show some kindness to Jack, for the sake of respect owed to her elders.

Wilhelmina forced a slightly awkward smile. Did she even have the right to be upset?

She had long since lost the courage to fight back against Jack, the devil tyrant. His presence alone was overwhelming, his success so immense that she could barely breathe.

And yet, judging by the expressions on Emily and Quintis' faces, they still seemed unaware that Jack had built a large international corporation. He had hidden it so well that even Emily and Quintis had been kept entirely in the dark.
