Page 1 of After rebirth, I won’t save my ex-husband

Mrs. Jackson hadn't even had time to hide her disappointment when suddenly, a heart-wrenching shout echoed through the hall.

Everyone fell silent instantly, not daring to make a sound.

A flurry of urgent footsteps approached from outside the door. Several bodyguards worked together to carry Sean Jackson in.

His eyes were tightly shut, half his arm a horrifying black-purple. It was a ghastly sight.

The grand hall erupted into chaos. Many people shrieked, backing away.

Mr. Jackson's face was a dark storm cloud, truly terrifying.

"What good are you useless bodyguards?! I told you to protect him closely! How could you let the Young Master get bitten by a venomous snake?!"

The bodyguards hung their heads, sweat dripping down their temples, but not one dared to talk back.

Just then, Jessie Billy was pushed to the front.

"It wasn't their fault... Sean always said he didn't like too many people following him."

A doctor rushed forward, quickly examining Sean Jackson's injury.

Sean's body suddenly trembled violently, and he slowly opened his eyes.

"It's Jessie. She risked her life to bring me the antidote. If it weren't for her, I'd probably be dead already."

The doctor beside him quietly added, "Indeed. If it weren't for the unique effectiveness of Miss Billy's antidote, the consequences would have been unthinkable."

Hearing the doctor's words, Mr. Jackson's expression finally softened slightly, his gaze shifting to Jessie.

"You saved Sean's life. You are a great benefactor to the Jackson family. Tell me, what do you want? As long as it's within my power, I won't refuse."

Jessie's eyes flickered with a faint light.

She stole a glance at Sean, her lips moving, but she couldn't seem to utter a single word.

Sean's expression was grim. Suddenly, he reached out and took her hand in his.

"Dad, Jessie is too shy to speak. I'll speak for her."

His voice was firmer than ever before.

"I'm going to marry Jessie. I don't care what anyone says outside. She saved my life, and I want to spend my life repaying her."

The atmosphere in the hall abruptly froze. Everyone gasped.

Jessie was just the daughter of the Jacksons' housekeeper. Though she and Sean had grown up together, her background was simply not respectable enough. The Jackson family had never once considered her as a future daughter-in-law.

Mr. Jackson frowned, a clear look of displeasure flashing in his eyes.

Mrs. Jackson suddenly spoke, her voice chilling.

"You want to marry a housekeeper's daughter? Do you want everyone to laugh at the Jackson family?"

"You are the future heir of the Jackson empire. Are you truly unaware of the stakes involved?"

Sean turned his head to look at Jessie, who stood beside him.

He made up his mind and slowly spoke.
