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
Jessica had just run to the door, but she was pressed against the door by Adam the next second.The dull pain in her back made her sober. She had been too anxious just now. Even if she could run out of the door, she couldn't run away because Adam's men were guarding outside."Adam, calm down!"Jessica softened her tone, "What do you want? We can talk.""Want to talk to me now?" Adam said in a contemptuous tone. "Didn't you tell me never to contact you? I want to keep the Smith Group by myself. Could you give me that?"Jessica's eyes were cold, "Smith Group... don’t you just want my eldest brother to go easy on you?"Adam was noncommittal, "Jess, but you said you never interfere in your family business.""But it doesn't mean that I couldn’t do anything about it. You don't know how my family spoils me." Jessica said confidently.Adam stared at her beautiful eyes and narrowed his eyes, "I know Jayden spoils you, but I'm afraid you are playing tricks! So, this time I have to have a
"Apart from the Maddox Group, who else has the ability to prevent you from finding out the truth?" Adam continued.Jessica compressed her lips and her eyes flickered, but she didn’t relax her hand with the glass fragment against her neck."Jess, be good, take it down. Don't hurt yourself." Adam took the opportunity to take her weapon.Jessica wouldn’t let go and her eyes were firm, "Don't touch me!"He was bluffed back, and she asked, "How can I believe your words?"Seeing that Jessica began to tend to believe him, Adam let his guard down a little, "The picture of William is true. I believe your men have confirmed it. You know how much pain I took to get it from Christian’s men?"Jessica frowned with tears in her eyes unconsciously, "I don't believe it.""The picture is there! Why don't you believe it!"Adam was irritated again, "Christian Maddox is a monster! The evidence is right in front of you, but you would rather believe him than believe me?!""How can I believe you when
