Seeing that Jessica did not look right, Quincy became more cautious. He looked at the time and said with uncertainty, "It's probably more than ten minutes."Quincy came here with his friends, and Harrison came later than they did. Quincy saw him as soon as he walked in the door.But he had previously replaced Harrison in the cast, so he didn't go up and say hello to him.Later he saw Harrison put something in the drink that the waiter brought. He felt suspicious, so he paid attention...Jessica frowned.Quincy realized that something was wrong and asked, "Jessica, have you already drunk it?"Jessica didn't deny it."Then should I..." Quincy looked anxious.Jessica raised her hand to interrupt him, "It's okay. I don't feel any discomfort right now...She thought about it, said something to Quincy, and walked back. Then she put the phone on the table and sat down.Harrison was waiting anxiously. When he saw Jessica come back, he hurriedly put down his phone and smiled happily.
In the corner.Someone was quickly taking pictures--Harrison helped Jessica, "I'll drive you back."Jessica was indeed dizzy, but she made a more exaggerated gesture, with her eyes closed, "My car is over there. Just drive my car."Helping Jessica into the car, Harrison got into the driver's seat. He was about to start the car when Jessica reached out to stop him, "Wait.""Wait for what?" Harrison wondered."There is one more person." Jessica continued to pretend to be dizzy.Before Harrison could understand what was going on, there was a knock on the window.He lowered the window, only to see Quincy, and he was even more confused, "...?"Quincy ignored Harrison's surprise, pulled open the car door, and said forcefully, "You get out of the car! I'll drive Jessica back.""Who are you!"Harrison reacted then and instantly lost his temper."Harrison, we used to be schoolmates. I will remind you for the last time that not all compromises can save everything. Is it really worth
"You have made yourself hurt. How are you going to make a move?"Christian frowned. Jessica often pissed him off. But she had a special ability: to make him unable to lose his temper with her.In front of her, he could only say something jealous and vent his anger a little.Jessica was texting on her phone. When the text was successfully sent, she put the phone down with satisfaction.She pouted, "Tigresses have to be diligent in preying. If it doesn’t even have any hair left, it’ll be eaten soon if it is not alert enough."Christian sat down beside her discontentedly and looked her up and down. On his way here, the doctor at Boen Hospital had given him a detailed report on her physical condition.Seeing that she was fine except for a bit sluggish, he also put his mind at ease, "Preying is about quality, not quantity. You have to weigh the pros and cons, identify the conspiracy, and beware of acting impulsively. The hunter is behind!"At this time, her phone rang.Jessica looke
Soon it came to the day to present the Best Hosts award. Jessica would walk down the aisle accompanied by Gail. After they got in the car, Gail asked Jessica, “Harrison is such an idiot... to have told you everything about Flora. Tut-tut. It’s hard to tell who is stupider in this couple!”Jessica nodded. “They are equally stupid! Harrison sent me messages afterwards to question me why I recorded our conversation secretly.”“He sounds like a moron!”“Flora must have gone ballistic. She might break up with him. Harrison was such a fool!”Gail pursed her lips. “Flora is now out of favor. Shouldn't she keep Harrison tight? He loves her so much. Would she break up with him?”“Maybe for Flora, she would break up with Harrison exactly because she lost popularity.” Jessica considered, “In her mind, now she is out of favor, so her last chance is to get married to a rich man.”Gail rolled her eyes. She roasted, "Would Flora dream of turning the tide? In my opinion, you should reveal a
"Do you mean that Paige united with Deputy Director Jameson and bribed the judges of Best Hosts committee, right?"The interview was broadcast live. The reporter had his back to the camera and Adela faced the camera."It's not accurate."Adela thought that she was doing the right thing and looked fearless. "Paige didn't unite with him. To be exact, she bewitched him!"A lot of comments appeared on the screen because of what Adela had said.Adela hadn't showed up to stir up trouble for a long time. Unexpectedly, she announced such a piece of breaking news as soon as she showed up!Paige, who sat in the front row, was shocked by Adela and at a loss.The reporter asked again, "Miss Black, do you have any evidence to say so?”"I'm the evidence!"Adela was confident. "I have got her chat records about how she bewitched Deputy Director Jameson. However, I was trapped at home this morning and they took away my phone. Someone wants me to shut up, but I have to speak it out!""So don'
"Jessica Bush!""Congratulations! Let's welcome Jessica to the stage to accept the award!"George and the host announced one after another."Jess! Jess!" Gail cried with excitement as she couldn't help patting Jessica on her arms. Jessica got up, smiled, and turned around gracefully to pay her respects to everyone around. Then she hugged Gail and whispered in her ears, "I know, honey. Calm down." Gail almost burst into tears of joy. "If I had known you could win, how would I care about Adela?!"Jessica smiled and let go of her best friend. Then she went up to the stage to accept the award. Jessica was wearing a slim-cut black dress, which fitted her perfectly and brought out her beautiful body shape. The dress was plain but not simple. The high-split design showed her ivory legs, straight and slender. In the stage light, the dress gave out a faint purple radiance. There was a geniune aura of elegance about Jessica! Gail couldn't restrain her excitement. Her face was half co
After Best Hosts' ceremony was over, a lot of guests left through the passage of the front door.Paige asked her assistant to find a side door for her to leave because she didn't want to be surrounded by the media and bombarded with questions. Even though Paige trotted along a path, she was caught by the media that waited at the door."Paige, is what Adela said true?"Paige pretended to be calm. "She bewitched her best friend's boyfriend and hooked up with many married men. How can you believe her?"Paige had come up with an excuse already and dealt with the media. "Adela is out of mind. She is not reliable at all! Did I win any prize? I didn't win any prize!"The reporters thought for a while and questioned, "Sine you didn't do that, why do you leave through the path?""He's right. If you didn't cheat, you should have accepted the interview and scotched rumors immediately.""..." Paige was stuck for words."Paige is unwilling to borrow the popularity. She would like to scotch
Jessica was about to leave but she stopped suddenly. She turned around and looked at Adam suspiciously.She paused for a while and asked, "What did you say?"Adam was sure that she cared about it and his eyes were filled with complacency. "I know that you have been investigating the cause of your father's death in private, right?""What do you know about it?" Jessica became nervous involuntarily.Adam said complacently, "I will tell you as long as you get in my car."Although Jessica felt nervous, she kept calm. "Do you think that I will get in your car for your half-truths?"Then she exhaled deeply to relieve tension, turned around and was about to leave.Adam said slowly behind her, "William was your father's closest man and worked as your father's secretary for twenty years, so he knew your family things best. Your father passed away suddenly and William disappeared almost at the same time. Think about it... If you find William, will he know the inside story of what had happe
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
