Chapter 55 “Although Mikayla has indeed been a bit annoyingly persistent, considering you haven't divorced yet, wouldn't it be inappropriate?” Connor asked Jerome.
Jerretorted impatiently, “Spill it if you've got something to say. Otherwise, get out.” The secretary happened to bring tea at that moment. Connor handed it to Jerome, trying to be friendly.

My ears could use speace.” “Jerome, you can’t do this,” Connor whimpered.
“Have you forgotten back in school when you and Taylor were fighting? Who disregarded everything and rushed in to help you? Remember the twhen | got kicked? | bled and almost fainted because | got distracted trying to help.

“Then take your loyalty and work at your father’s company,” Jerretorted.
“Fine, fine, I'll do it!” Connor's psychological resilience was always strong. He accepted it instantly and still had the mood to gossip.
“Jerome, even though it’s good to meet a girl you like, you can’t be two-timing. Should I talk to Mikayla and ask her to let go sooner?” Jerglared at Connor, “Get out. Don’t step into my office without my permission.” Connor wondered why Jerhad becso unpredictable.
He had angered Jertwice about Mikayla. Indeed, it was because he didn’t know how to handle her troubles.
“I get it, Jerome. I'll leave right away.” Before leaving the office, Connor added, “Rest assured, brother, I'll always support you and stand by your side!” Jerclosed his eyes, too tired to deal with him.
Mikayla woke up close to noon.
She had been contemplating whether to tell Betty about Johnny's incident. She had fallen asleep in a daze only in the morning.
Mikayla got up from bed. She freshened up and went downstairs. Amy was preparing lunch.
“Madam, have seggs first. The meal will take a while,” Amy said.
She served Mikayla a plate of fried eggs.
“What's this?” Mikayla pointed to a package on the table.
Amy replied, “Mrs. Miller Senior sent over the herbs this morning.” Mikayla found it strange, “Why did Grandma send herbs for no reason?” Amy explained that Wanda heard someone mention that Jerome's health wasn’t great. So, she instructed Amy to prepare these herbs.
She believed they were good for nourishing the kidneys and strengthening the body. She urged Mikayla to make a bowl for Jerevery day.

It seemed that relatives’ mouths were not at all tight. The news had quickly reached Wanda’s ears, and she had genuinely believed it to the point of sending over medicine.
Mikayla wondered how Jerwould react when he learns about this news.
“Madam, why are you laughing? Is something wrong with the medicine?” Amy asked.
Mikayla shook her head.
“It’s nothing. | just suddenly thought of a joke.” Amy went back to the kitchen, and Mikayla unlocked her phone.
