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
The bodyguards were stunned.There was no one on the bulging bed, and only two pillows were wrapped in the quilt. The pillows were also scorched by sparks, emitting pungent black smoke."Go find Cindy!""She is gone!"The panic sounds of the bodyguards rang behind Jessica. She ran straight forward without even thinking about it.A quarter of an hour ago, she poured all the two bottles of wine left on the table on the carpet, and then knocked down the candles.The fire spread faster than she had imagined, and it was raging soon.Fortunately, she had wet the bathrobes and towels with soapy water in the bathroom in advance. She put on two wet bathrobes, blocked her nose and mouth with a wet towel, and hid behind the door holding her breath.She had observed it in advance, and confirmed that the two bodyguards outside the door were talking, and they were not slacking off to take a nap. Then she ventured to light the fire.The bodyguards didn't let her down, and if they found out a
When Jessica was captured into the car, she smelled the perfume that Adam always used and felt disappointed and sad.She would rather choose the path with shelters to make a detour than choose the highroad. Unexpectedly, before she met the drivers and asked for help, Adam found her...Adam pulled Jessica hard and almost dislocated her arm. It hurt. She was close to tears."Jess, how dare you? How dare you escape behind my back?"Adam's eyes were bloodshot. His tie hung loosely over his neckband. His perfectly coiffed hair was in a mess and some hung over his forehead. He was out of mind and irritated."Heh."Jessica sneered. 'I'm unlucky to be captured by him.'She was reluctant to struggle or call for help because she knew that it was useless. She'd better save her strength to think how to escape.Adam reached out to cover her mouth as soon as she started to laugh. "Shut up! Don't laugh! I hate your expression like that best!"Adam used his big palm to cover her mouth tightly
A man rushed up, one hand holding Jessica, the other hand taking off his jacket, to tightly wrap her up, and carried her up in his arms.Deep in his eyes there was a flame of anxiety, mixed with a hint of hostility.“Call the hospital! Let the doctors wait there! I'll take Jessica there!"His subordinate immediately responded. In the meantime, the subordinate rushed ahead to open the door for his boss.In the car, the man ordered in a chill tone, “Keep an eye on Adam. Don't allow him to leave, not even half a step!""Yes!" The subordinate responded.Jessica felt like she had slept for quite a long time.As soon as she woke up, she smelled the strong smell of sterile water. She opened her eyes slightly and suddenly heard a woman sobbing."Jess, you finally woke up! Thank God! This is so great!"Seeing Gail's face, Jessica smiled faintly. Her smile pulled her dry and cracked lips, causing a dull pain in her lips. Opening her mouth, she spoke in a hoarse voice, “It’s okay."“Mm-
Christian had always been very quiet and ruthless. He was a man in a very high position, and there was no occasion on which he needed to waste his breath.But he was now standing outside the gate on Blessing festival, and had a long debate with the two staff members over a crumpled admission ticket.Unexpectedly, it was just an entertaining festival, and the staff were so serious and responsible...He was so delayed for a while.After Christian bought a ticket from someone else at a high price, he entered the arena smoothly, but he couldn’t find Jessica when he looked for her everywhere.Later, he asked someone and learned that they could return to the hotel where they were staying from another exit, so he strode towards the other exit.But he still didn't see her....Christian was anxious. She didn't answer the phone when he called her, and after the ringtone, he was soon told that her phone was out of service...He had a foreboding that there was something wrong with it, and
Christian and Jessica returned home after seven days.During the hospitalization abroad, Christian accompanied Jessica throughout the whole process and used her ward as his temporary office. He had taken care of everything for her, including three meals a day, changing her dressing, consulting the doctor and psychological counseling, until she was discharged from the hospital after a comprehensive examination.But on the day of discharge, Ethan hurriedly came and said to Jessica, "Madam, Mr. Maddox has just returned to the country for something urgent, so he can't go back with you.""What happened?" Jessica was slightly surprised.She was scheduled to fly back in the afternoon, but he couldn't wait for another few hours, indicating that it must be a major event.Ethan didn't elaborate and just said, "It’s the company. You just need to believe in Mr. Maddox. He told me that you don’t have to worry about it."Jessica smiled. She was not seriously injured, nor was she too old to sta
