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."

    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-

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.

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.

    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
