Chapter 467 Billionaire's Lies

• The vehicle moved forward, the gentle purr of the engine harmonizing with the quiet sound of jazz music coming from the speakers. The city lights flashed by, a blur of colors against the rich blue of the night sky. Within the vehicle, the atmosphere was different still electric, yet curiously soothing. Saben had been quiet for a moment, his eyes on the road ahead, his hand firm on the wheel. But Jenny felt the strength of his presence behind her, like a gentle force alongside her, even as there still lingered an unmistakable tension between them.
• Jenny cast a sidelong glance at him. He was intense, his jaw clenched in that manner she had seen before, but his expression had moved from the professional seriousness to something less severe, something more. genuine. She could sense the concern in the manner in which he was standing, the manner in which his stance subtly altered as she readjusted in her chair, as if he were doing so unconsciously to create space for her, as if he knew precisely how much she was lugging around these days.
• The night's events replayed in her head like a broken record—JM's unexpected arrival, his words that had sent her careening back in time to something she had worked so diligently to leave behind. The pain she had succeeded in tucking away deep within herself was rising to the surface, raw and undiluted. Yet despite it all, there was something about Saben's serene demeanor that comforted her. She did not know why, or how, but it was as if he could see her, truly see her, in a manner that no one else was capable of. He wasn't pushing her, wasn't placing any expectations on her. He was simply. present.
