Chapter 62 The Person Presenting the Award to Her is Her Husband
"Just call me Jack. Why so formal? Grandpa wants me to pick you up and drop you off at school, so don't make it tough for me!"
With that, Jack grabbed the car keys and headed out, giving her no chance to refuse.
On the way, Jack occasionally glanced at her through the rearview mirror and asked, "Jessica, you dressed up nice today. Got a date with James?"
"No," Jessica replied awkwardly, "There's an award ceremony at school today for that time I saved someone."
Jack nodded, "Oh, that! I saw those nasty comments about you online, but I ignored them. I always knew you were a good person and a great doctor. Looks like I was right."
Jessica felt a bit sad.
Even Jack, who didn't know her well, believed in her.
But James had doubted her, accusing her of causing Rose's grandmother's death.
Jessica's heart ached again.
Jack sighed, "I envy you, Jessica. You were misunderstood, but now everyone sees the real you. Unlike me."
Jessica was taken aback and instinctively asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Jack said sadly, "I just joined the company, and James hates me. The employees think I got in because I'm the second son of the Kelly family, and they look down on me. But I want to prove myself. I just haven't had the chance!"
Jack looked sad, his voice growing softer.
His words were half sincere, half insincere.
One reason was to get closer to Jessica, and the other was an inexplicable urge to confide in her.
Jessica couldn't help but feel sympathy for Jack.
Although she didn't like the troublemaking Linda, Jack picked her up and dropped her off every day, showing concern for her, so she considered him half a friend.
She looked at Jack and seriously said, "I believe in you. As long as you work hard, your future won't be any worse than James."
Jack looked at her through the rearview mirror, a smile spreading across his face, "Really? You're the first person to say that to me."
Jessica also smiled, "You're one of the few who believe in me."
The car finally arrived at the school gate.
Jessica got out but was called back by Jack.
He praised, "Jessica, today you must be the most beautiful girl at Ocean City University!"
His eyes lingered on Jessica, reluctant to look away.
Jessica was momentarily dazed, seemingly realizing something, and quickly averted her gaze, walking straight into the school.
The award ceremony was held in the school's auditorium.
Most of the leaders of Ocean City University were present, and many media reporters were also invited.
After all, this award ceremony was also an opportunity for Ocean City University to promote and vindicate itself.
Previously, Jessica was almost expelled, and various sectors of society criticized Ocean City University for this.
So, this award ceremony was particularly important.
Jessica was well aware of the significance of this award, so she had no particular expectations.
Until the moment she stepped onto the stage, she was shocked to find that the person walking up was her husband, James.
Jessica pondered, 'How could it be him?'
The host enthusiastically introduced him, including all of James's titles and contributions to Ocean City University.
The scorching yellow spotlight shone on them, illuminating James's handsome and noble face.
Jessica didn't dare let her gaze linger too obviously on him.
She was afraid the spotlights below the stage would catch any clues.
But her heart couldn't help but race uncontrollably.
