Jessica lived in Chestertown for two days and searched some places nearby according to the clues, but she achieved nothing in the end.The private detective also conducted investigations secretly, but got no clues about William.When she woke up one day in the morning, Jessica suddenly felt a little at a loss.Having searched almost everywhere according to the clues, she had no idea where she would go the next. She stayed in the room for a while and received a video call from Gail."Jess, what are you doing?""I don't know what to do. What happened?" She realized that Gail hadn't finished speaking.Gail said after a pause, "Did you watch the domestic news?""What's it about?"Jessica opened the webpage with her laptop, her eyes colored by coldness.[Christian, The President of Maddox Group, Secretly Dated a Beauty]The woman's face in the photos and videos was vague but her good body shape could be clearly seen. She was standing next to Christian, her smile quite glamorous.
Jessica called the person...The person respected her very much and said that the process of the press conference was very simple and the related questions had been prepared. She could start after she arrived and got acquainted with it. If she set off from Chestertown, she would arrive there in time.She felt that the person was a gentleman, so she agreed readily. She packed and drove there immediately.Her destination was an old-fashioned building. It featured folk customs. The reporters had arrived and gathered outside in the wide yard. The press conference was ready and the scale was large.The bodyguards questioned Jessica and took her inside to look for the director.Soon, she got the process of the press conference and her lines. Then she got acquainted with them.She was familiar with such press conferences. The process was stereotyped. However, she still didn't who the interviewee was before she put on make-up and was about to walk onstage.Cooper said that the inter
Sensing that something was wrong with Christian, the person in charge hurriedly came over and said a few words in Jessica's ear.After listening, she nodded and collected herself. Then she put on a professional smile and went on stage, "The conference is about to end. There is one more question."Christian looked at the smiling woman and caught the subtle emotions in her eyes. He just wanted to explain to her, so he raised his hand and pointed at someone at random.The reporter was flattered, "Mr. Maddox, what wish did you make under the sacred tree?"There was a booing noise from the surrounding colleagues.Although this question was worth asking, it was obvious that Christian would not answer it, so it was a waste of the opportunity to ask questions.As expected, Christian didn't let everyone down, "Will the wish be still efficacious if I say it out?""Well, this is the end of the press conference. Let us give Mr. Maddox a warm applause to thank him again for his generous cont
The wishing tree was covered with layers of red wishing knots. There was a sense of mystery about it in the afterglow.Jessica circled the wishing tree and scanned the wishes written by people on the wishing knots.She laughed when she looked at them. Could it be that she really wanted to find Christian's wishing knot to see what wish he had made?"What are you looking for?"At this moment, a man's voice suddenly came from behind her.Jessica was surprised, and subconsciously picked up a wishing knot with a guilty conscience, "I wasn’t looking for anything. I'm here to make a wish.""Oh." Christian nodded in satisfaction.He had called Jessica just now after dealing with the emergency, but she didn't answer, so he called the hotel again. The receptionist said that Jessica had just left the room not long ago.He had arrived here even earlier than she did.Somehow, he had a hunch that she would come here, so he had been waiting for her here.Seeing her slender figure appearing
Christian stayed under the wishing tree for a while, and on his way back, he found that the road on both sides of the street was different from when he had left.Colorful lanterns were hung on the storefronts on the street, and the men and women on the street were also well-dressed and cheerful.He inquired about it and learned that this town was holding a blessing festival activity, which he had heard from some reporters yesterday.The wishing tree here was in charge of marriage, so the blessing festival was also prepared for young men and women to meet with each other.Christian's narrow eyes flickered; he watched the excitement ahead with his hands in his pockets. In other words, wasn't this just a huge blind date?In his opinion, this kind of activity was undoubtedly a waste of time. He just frowned and wanted to leave when he glanced at his phone inadvertently and found that Jessica had updated a latest photo on her Instagram.That background of the photo was the street wher
The gentleman who came to invite Jessica stretched out his hand and motioned for her to go first.Jessica smiled and turned around gracefully, and walked into the gate with the man's admission ticket--"Do you speak the language of Jakesville?" Jessica raised her tone and asked actively.The man's eyes were shining, and he had a big smile on his face, "I can't believe I met someone from the same place in another country!"Behind the two, Christian was shocked... The admission ticket in his hand was so dazzling at the moment!Actually, what Jessica didn’t know was that half an hour ago, Christian had arranged everything behind her back. His subordinates intercepted the men who came to participate in the event from all directions and warned them not to invite Jessica one by one!While they warned these men, they also generously gave them some money as reward. It was a carrot and stick strategy.These men just came to participate in an event casually, and most of them didn't want t
Jessica lowered her breath as she was brainstorming. It occurred to her that maybe the culprit was not her enemy. He probably came for Christian.The rumor about her and Christian had become more and more trusted as it spread out. And she didn't deny it anymore… So there was such a possibility.Then it became more complicated. She had no idea who he was.Suddenly, footsteps broke the silence. Although they were light, she was so sensitive and still heard them.She subconsciously closed her eyes to pretend to be asleep.As the door was pushed open, a person said in a gloomy voice, "Don't act since you have woken up."After a while, Jessica opened her eyes and saw a neatly dressed woman with sharp eyes before the bed in the dim light."Who are you?"Now that she had known it, Jessica would not continue to act. The most important thing was to solve this matter. "Why did you abduct me? Where is the man on the Blessing Day?"The woman sneered, "You have a lot of questions."But sh
The bodyguard held the door for the men outside, and the owner of the voice had a wicked smile on his face. The moment he saw Jessica, he pretended to reprimand, "Who told you to treat her like this? Untie the ropes now!"The female bodyguard heard it, and hurried in to untie Jessica."Wait a minute! I'll do it myself!"The female bodyguard left quickly and closed the door for them."Adam... " Jessica was slightly startled.She had thought that it might be Adam, but she had ruled it out later, because based on her knowledge of Adam, she felt that he had no guts to kidnap her.“Didn't you expect it to be me, honey?” Adam saw the emotion in her eyes and came up to her to untie her little by little.Jessica held back her disgust and avoided his touch from time to time, but the harder she tried to hide, the closer Adam got. At the end, he deliberately kissed her on the cheek.Jessica was disgusted and almost vomited.Adam dragged her to sit down at the dining table, spread her a n
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
