An Unbreakable Addiction

"You're not afraid of Mabel, but Mia might not be so lucky! You know full well what she's capable of," Hunter remarked, stating it plainly.

"Give me the documents! I'm heading back." Sensing the truth in Hunter's words, Mr. Jasper Sr. continued, "Transfer your shares to Mia, and soon, I'll have a lawyer draft a will to leave everything to you."

1 don't want your shares, and I won't allow you to write a will! You're going to live to be a hundred!"

"I'm already eighty and I've lived a long life. My biggest wish now is to hold a great-grandchild, even a great-granddaughter would be fine! Hunter, you've been married three years now, so why isn't Mia pregnant? Are you not capable?" The mention of having children sparked irritation in Mr. Jasper Sr.Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

On his social media, his friends constantly shared photos of adorable grandkids and great-grandchildren, making him envious beyond words. Hunter seemed perfectly healthy, so why couldn't he have a child?

"Mia's young and busy with work. She doesn't have time for kids," Hunter replied dismissively. He didn't love Mia, so having children with her had never been on his agenda.

Plus, the Jasper family wasn't the harmonious image people thought. It was full of hidden agendas, each person calculating their gains.

If Mia were to have a child, those lurking in the shadows would undoubtedly surface, doing everything in their power to target the child.

After experiencing a life on the run himself, Hunter couldn't imagine putting a child through that same suffering. The path of escape was just too harsh.

"You're the CEO of Genesis Corporation, yet you have your wife working to make money? Aren't you worried people will talk behind your back, saying you're incapable?" Mr. Jasper Sr. couldn't help but take a jab at him

11 have things to attend to. Let's talk later," Hunter replied, clearly done with the conversation.

He had already suggested to Mia that she could quit her job, but Mia had refused. What more could he do? Hanging up the call, Hunter stood and returned to his office, finding Mr. Jasper Sr. already gone.

.He dialed the intercom for Sam, who quickly came in, assuming Hunter wanted an update on Jenna.

Sam promptly began, "Miss Jenna has arrived home. The restaurant, club, and hotel for tonight are all set, and the fireworks are ready as well. Leaving at 5:30 p.m. will have you there just on time. Your clothes are also prepared and hanging in the lounge." Hunter was incredibly indulgent with Jenna. He prepared dinner party reservations, a club outing afterward, a luxurious hotel suite, and even a custom fireworks show. Tonight alone, the expenses for Jenna's birthday would likely total millions. Hunter gave a simple "Alright" in acknowledgment, then added, "Starting this month, transfer $40,000 as Mia's monthly allowance. Also, arrange for the jewelry store to send her their latest collection every month, so she can pick a new piece." The other day, Mia had mentioned that her $20,000 monthly allowance wasn't enough. He figured 40,000 should do the trick. In a few days, he would bring up the matter of her quitting again,

"Oh, understood." Sam couldn't help but think to himself, "Miss Jenna's just having a birthday, and he's spending millions without a second thought. Meanwhile, Mrs. Jasper only gets a modest $40,000 a month for her allowance. The difference in treatment is like night and day!"

Hunter then continued, "Mr. Ford Sr.'s birthday banquet is in a few days. I'll be taking Mia. Get her two gowns prepared." He pressed his lips together, a sly thought crossing his mind.

At the banquet, he would make sure Zac understood that Mia was his wife, and he would crush any lingering hope that man had.
