With his heart full of joy, Jason walked out of the living room, this made him think less of his mother-in-law's harsh words. To date, he has yet to understand why the old lady was so cold toward him.

  Constantly making references to a poor wretched status, whereas the house they lived in, was under his name. She had never purchased a single appliance or contributed to maintenance, everything concerning this exotic mansion came out of Jason's bank account yet he was compared to a street beggar.

  He was also turned into an errand boy, and without a single maid in the mansion, Jason had diligently done everything that a maid could have done, yet neither his wife nor mother in law seemed to be satisfied with his efforts.

  He has chosen to take his mind off how they treated him, it was a prize he had to pay for keeping his identity concealed, but their pride and arrogance grew with each passing day and became unbearable.

  Each time Melissa's success got to a higher level, they made themselves equal with a prime minister or a military commander, feeling the need to dish out orders and expect his submission and obedience, and he got nothing but insults whenever he failed to comply.

  Despite all of this, Jason was committed to his wife. Despite it being a five-year relationship, he loved her like they'd been together for centuries and he'd go to any length to make sure that she achieved success.

  Because he did it all secretly, Jason did not expect any form of gratitude from his wife because she did not know, and the only reason he put up with her mother's attitude was because of her, or else no one dared tell him what to do in his house.

  To celebrate his wife's success and congratulate her upon her return, Jason dashed into the kitchen. Years of spending time with his late mother had transformed him into a master chef, and what better way to celebrate his wife than to make her favorite dish?

  But before he started, Jason called Grace immediately, and the lady picked on the first ring, it felt as though she always waited for his calls because she never failed to pick up.

  “Hello, sir.”

  “Yes Grace,” Jason began, his voice full of excitement, yet maintaining his professional demeanor and seemingly authoritative tone.

  “First of all, well done. You've done exactly what I asked, you made sure she won the award. So continue doing that even until the next production. I want her name to be known all over.”

  “I will, sir,” Grace replied, hinting at her submission to his commands.

  “Also, I want you to prepare a transfer of agreement for my company shares… you should know which of the companies I'm talking about.”

  “Yes sir, I assume the entertainment industry?” Grace inquired, just for confirmation.

  “Yes,” Jason replied,

  “Send them over to me before 5 pm, you can do it earlier, but not later than 5 pm, do you get that?”

  “Yes sir, I will get to it immediately.”

  “Good, I hope to receive them soon,” Jason said, and concluded the call, he placed his phone on the slab and began to make preparations for the dish.
