It was the next morning after Jessica had a sound sleep.After waking up, she read the message on her phone. The private detective said, "The fish has taken the bait."Jessica grinned. She went to sit down at the table and enjoyed her breakfast slowly.Christian had eaten breakfast. He looked at her meaningful smile, and asked, "Is the tigress going to attack again?"Jessica burst out laughing.Did he think that she was so straightforward and superficial? Could he see her pride at a glance?"If you're busy, you could go first. I'm going to spend some time at home, and I’m going to watch a good show." Jessica said noncommittally.Christian's slanted eyes narrowed. ‘Oh, this woman...’‘It seems that the frequency of her recent attacks only increased!’However, she had been maliciously targeted and slandered in the crew a few days ago. He had expected that she would not put up with it, so he decided to let her go...It was the VIP clinic of gynecology in a private hospital.Aft
On the large and comfortable sofa of cool colors, Jessica watched the chaos in live streaming with a cold eye.Harrison called Flora's name loudly and hysterically. The doctors and nurses hurried over to lift Flora onto a stretcher and pushed it away... The besieging reporters also panicked. After all, no one wanted to kill anyone.Jessica turned off the live streaming with her slender and clean fingers, and took a sip of the warm black tea.Harrison was still as straightforward as he had been in her memory. In fact, he was not bad in nature.If Flora weren't such a snob, it would be good for her to end up with Harrison who had been so sincere to her. But the problem was that they were completely different. How could it be possible for them to warm each other?What they gave to each other was probably only a huge mess in the end.*The private detective called her, and Jessica picked it up, "Well done. Thank you.""Flora is easily jealous and ruthless. Although she is facing
In Maddox Group, Jessica took the elevator straight to the top floor.The elevator stopped and dinged. The sound calmed her down.Why did she rush over?Should she rush into Christian’s office and ask him whether he had anything to do with her family tragedy and her Dad's death back then?If he had nothing to do with it at all, she would be too irrational. Besides, even if it was really related to him yet he denied it, what could she do to him?Impulsiveness did not help.Jessica calmed down and decided not to question him today. She needed to sound him out before taking action. Just then, Christian's assistant who was guarding the door saw her and took a big step forward. He bowed and said, "Mrs. Maddox!"Jessica could not leave at that moment, so she had to ask, "Is Christian in?""Mr. Maddox... is not in."The assistant slightly stuttered, which raised Jessica’s attention. "He went on a business trip?" Jessica asked. She didn't hear him say that this morning.The assista
"Who are you?"The woman, who walked out from Christian's bedroom that was inside his office, questioned Jessica first. The woman acted like Christian's wife.She wore a split bust skirt. Her eyes gleamed blue. From her perfectly coiffed hair, people could tell that she lived off the fat of the land all the time."That's what I should have asked you."Jessica stood up upright.'Although I don't have the rights to make a request to Christian, we should discuss about it and make an agreement. After all, I'm his wife. These seductresses don't have the rights to crack the whip at me.'Feeling the aura of confidence in Jessica's tone, the woman arched her eyebrows. Her gaze was a little complicated. "Oh! I see. You're the host... Jessica Bush?""I have watched your program. Well, you look different from when you showed on TV." The woman snickered meaningfully.'Does she mean that I'm not as beautiful as when I showed on TV?''Heh...''She mocks me so implicitly.'Jessica stayed c
Jessica drove the car as fast as she could.The car window was open and the wind disheveled her hair. She was alone at the moment, so she did not conceal her emotions. Her mind was in turmoil now.She felt mixed emotions.Thinking of that stunning yet arrogant woman and the man who asked her just now why she came to his office, she felt both angry and...She tried to ignore it, but she found she was unable to fool herself.Suddenly, an engine roared on the right. A black car rushed over and quickly approached her car.At the same time, her cell phone rang. She dropped her eyes and glanced at her phone. It was Christian.Jessica subconsciously looked towards the right car window.The black car window was wound down. It was indeed Christian.A second later, Jessica pressed the pedal to the metal and the car roared away.She and he suddenly began to race their cars. It was the first time that Jessica had driven so fast, but it lasted less than three seconds. Soon, Christian turn
"Why?"Jessica lifted her chin. Although she tried to be strong, she couldn't help but shed tears.Realizing that his voice was too cold and sharp, Christian softened his tone. "You needn't have bothered to care about that.""Then what should I do in your eyes?"She was furious and sneered. "Make coffee? Plant flowers? Go shopping?"She knew that he didn't mean that, but she said so to provoke him. "I will find out the truth. The more eagerly someone wants to stop me, the more eagerly I want to find it out!"Christian was still angry, but he suppressed his anger and tried to comfort the furious Jessica. "If you insist on finding out the truth, leave it to me."Jessica shook her hair behind her shoulder. "I don't trust you."After she finished speaking, she turned around and got in the car. In front of Christian, she got the car started. The car roared backwards and the water on the road went flying. It rained last night. 'She doesn't trust me!''She said that she didn't care
The warm temperature took away some of the menstrual pain, and Jessica felt much better during the lunch break.As soon as she changed her clothes, Ethan appeared behind her, saying, "Madam, please get in the car."Christian wanted to apologize?Jessica glanced at the eye-catching luxury van and asked faintly, "What’s the matter?""It's time for lunch, and Mr. Maddox is waiting for you." Ethan felt his explanation was silly."Not necessary, I have a lot of scenes to shoot in the afternoon, so I will have box lunch here." Jessica then turned around and left.Talent League also had several young male spokespersons. They were members of an idol group. Those boys were gathering together and having lunch now. Jessica walked over directly."Hi Jessica, you’re going to have box lunch as well?" One of the staff asked in surprise.Jessica opened the packed lunch and took a bite, saying, "Why not? Is the box lunch not enough?"The boys burst into laughter together."Jessica, would you
Christian's pupils were dark, and his face was serious.He thought it was really a wrong decision to let Jessica be the spokesperson of Talent League!He had watched her cuddling with his good-for-nothing brother so many times. It was too unseemly!Looking at Christian's sullen face from a distance, Wade was so scared that he dared not breathe heavily.But Jessica who was being watched by Christian was unmoved. She didn't even look at him but asked the director lightly."Director, has this take passed?""Yes!""The shooting today is over, right?""Yes, it's over.""Thanks for your hard work, everyone."After speaking, Jessica turned around and walked towards the dressing room, ignoring Christian throughout the whole process, who had a gloomy expression on his face.Before Ethan found the dressing room, Jessica had quickly changed clothes and left through the back door without removing her makeup...She received a call from Gail on the way back home."Jess, Ethan just notif
The next day, Jessica went to work in the TV station. Her assistant reported the recent schedule to her.Jessica listened for a while, raised her head and asked, "Didn't you say that I needed to prepare for Leap Art's gala evening on New Year's Eve next week?"The assistant said in a hurry, "It occurs to me... It may be changed. We'd better delay the preparation in case you will prepare for it in vain...""What's the matter?" Jessica frowned slightly."I have arranged for someone to investigate and haven't gotten the exact news yet. It is said that the organizers of Leap Art's gala evening on New Year's Eve have changed their minds and will invite Adela to replace you...," the assistant said."Adela?"Gail was drinking coffee and writing the plan in Jessica's office. When Gail heard that, she stood up and said anxiously, "Adela has just made a comeback. Even though she becomes popular slightly, how can she replace Jess in the image or influence?""It is said that Adela's remuner
[It's because I think my acting skills are not worthy of your script.]Jessica replied seriously.Hawley became anxious and replied without punctuation. [Don't worry I will try my best to help you and won't urge you]Jessica paused and replied with a smile. [I haven't finished speaking. Hold on. Since you have waited for a long time, please give me some time if you don't mind. I would like to find an acting teacher and learn how to act. After I'm sure that I can play the role, I will join in your movie. How is it?]Recently, more films and TV dramas started inviting Jessica. Many of them had great investments and groups. Jessica obviously felt that the current situation was pushing her to change.It was impossible for her to reject all of them, but she couldn't shoot all the films or TV dramas with the attitude as if she was doing a guest appearance. She would better be prepared before she met the chances. If so, she would be more confident.Hawley paused. It took him some time t
The next afternoon, when it was time for Jessica to get off work, Hawley arrived at the appointed time.Jessica took him to the nearest restaurant to the TV station. She said with a smile, "It's not a high-end restaurant. Just order expensive dishes."Hawley also smiled, "Expensive dishes do not necessarily taste good!""Having said that, I would like to thank you. Expensive dishes can show my sincerity at least," Jessica said.Hawley put down the menu, looked at her and said seriously, "If you would like to thank me, how about consider my invitation seriously? I want to invite you to be the heroine in my first movie!"Hawley was sincere. He looked passionate and vigorous for his first movie. It was hard for Jessica to refuse."Have you drawn your inspiration in France?" She didn't refuse him directly but changed the topic.Hawley said seriously, "I have spent three years on the script. When I studied abroad, I wrote it with my best friend. I almost finish it recently. I believe
Griffin kept his promise.The next day after Jessica's return, Jakesville TV Station put the interview of GL's successor, Neil, on the air. Meanwhile, everyone received the email that announced Gail's promotion to senior editor.The directors in their team were all delighted. People from their sister teams also urged Gail to treat them to dinner. Gail agreed generously and decided to throw a party to celebrate her promotion in the evening. *After several rounds of wine, Gail was giddy with delight and tipsy. With a goblet in her hand, she sat beside Jessica and grinned. "Jess, I owe my promotion to you. I've racked my brains but still know not how to express my gratitude… How about I leave my paycheck to you?" Jessica couldn't help but giggle.She poked Gail's forehead. "Are you going to marry me?""Look, this is all that I can give. Then again, you're not short of money. Tell me what I should do."Jessica looked at Gail's tender, pursed lips and wrapped her arm around
At sea, the anxious Christian calmed down and was relieved finally. He took off his coat and wrapped her up tightly.She looked at him and asked, "Why did you come here?"Christian compressed his thin lips and reached out to smooth her hair beside her ears. It was a little messy because of the wind.Christian had arranged for someone to protect her since she pissed off GL's Neil in France. The nobles all knew that GL's Neil was malicious, especially for beautiful women.As soon as Christian's men reported to Christian that Jessica suddenly bought an air ticket and went abroad alone, Christian guessed that she was going to deal with Neil.Christian was afraid that Jessica would be unable to deal with Neil. He didn't have any time to care about other things and followed Jessica to come to France.Luckily, he arrived in time. Otherwise, even if Jessica dealt with Neil, she would be unable to deal with Jerome. Jerome was not a man to be trifled with."Don't take risks again! If you
As Jerome confronted him coldly, Christian's narrowed eyes slid out of focus for a second.Soon, he collected himself, and ferocity suppressed the gloom in his eyes. "Before I figure out the entire thing, I'll keep her out of harm's way! Even if someone tells her the truth one day, it has to be me and not you! You'd better stay away from her!" Jerome's face also turned gloomy. "I was not interested in her or those trivial matters in the past, but destiny guided me to meet her. Then I find that those matters are pretty interesting…And the more annoyed you are, the more interesting I find it… Besides, you stole my lines. The one who should stay away from her is you!" "Don't bother. This is between my wife and me," Christian declared his sovereignty once again.Jerome looked askance at Christian. His gloomy voice became huskier and more horrifying. "If she knew the truth, do you think she would still believe you?"Christian knitted his brows as he exhorted in a
"Christian?"Jessica spun around and did a double take, mixed delight and incredulity in her eyes.Christian made his way to her and took her by the hand. "You're still recovering. How could you run around like this?"Christian's voice was steely. Though he was speaking to Jessica, it was the man opposite her that his piercing eyes flashed at.At this moment, the bodyguards outside the cabin hurried inside all at once. One of them bowed to Jerome and explained apologetically, "Mr. Garan, he's brought some men here... We failed to stop them..."Jerome waved his hand testily and, restraining his annoyance, rose to his feet and looked at Christian. "Nice to see you again, Mr. Maddox." Though his words were a greeting, his face were rather tight."I heard only a few days ago that there's some turbulence going on in the Garan family. It surprises me Mr. Garan is still in the mood for partying," Christian said acidly."Oh, you're pretty well-informed, Mr. Maddox!" Jerome remarked with
"I'm just a nobody, and all I want is for the job to be done in a peaceful fashion. I have no reason to work against you on my own initiative unless you leave me no choice, don't you think?" Jessica said, her face bland.Having no alternative but to resign himself to accepting it, Neil said testily, "Fine! Get it over with!"A smile curled Jessica's lips as her beautiful eyes moved to the outline for the interview on the sofa. "Speak according to the outline and answer my every question. Here we go."Watching Neil obediently pick up the interview outline with resentment etched on his face, Jessica snickered and turned on her digital recorder.**Twenty minutes later, the interview came to a successful end.Having obtained what she wanted, Jessica operated the digital recorder for a moment and then stowed it in her handbag.Neil had had enough of it. He hurled the interview outline she'd given him to the floor and, springing to his feet testily, blustered, "I see any of those pho
Neil's eyes glittered with alarm at the sight of the picture on Jessica's phone, the corners of his mouth twitching in spite of himself.On the sofa he'd been sitting a moment ago sat a couple of female models. Neil glared over his left shoulder and then the right one at the girls and thundered, "Beat it!""Neil..."A charming girl, unwilling to leave, walked over and, holding his hand, said, "Where do you want us to go?""Get out of my sight! Now!" Neil stormed shiftily.His bawl brought all the girls trotting out helter-skelter...Jessica, taking advantage of the opportunity, took back her phone and unhurriedly put it into her handbag in the presence of Neil."Let's go somewhere else to talk," Neil said to Jessica, rising to his feet and leading the way for the door.Jessica remained where she was. With a smile that never reached her eyes, she said, "I thought you liked the lively atmosphere in this place."The corners of Neil's mouth twitched and he snapped, "It's not every
