Mrs. Jade paused, her voice sharp and piercing as she stared at Robert with narrowed eyes. "Robert, this is Eclipse's last chance for you. Think carefully before you speak."
Robert found himself stuck between a rock and a hard place.
He deeply loved Jessica, and she had already been through so much today.
The thought of betraying her, watching her lose everything, was unbearable.
But Eclipse held a different kind of power—one that could promise him a brighter future.
Even if Jessica became a famous perfumer, it wouldn't compare to what Eclipse controlled.
The twenty percent of shares she held in the Rocelyn family, combined with her mother's inheritance, would always overshadow Jessica's position.
Torn between love and ambition, Robert struggled with his choice.
Jessica could feel his hesitation, her hands sweating with anxiety.
She knew Robert better than anyone—his heart was usually under her control.
