Inside the door, the sound from the outside world was cut off. Jessica looked at Mask who was hesitant and proactively said, "What do you want to say? Just go straight ahead."She knew that Christian outside the door didn't have much patience..."Are you happy?"Mask hesitated for a few seconds, finally looked up, and asked this question.Jessica was surprised and then smiled, "Did she tell you that I am not happy? That’s why you have been acting so weird these two days?"Mask understood whom Jessica was referring to. He ignored her smile and said solemnly, "I know she might have deliberately instigated me in order to and set us up, but I still want to know your answer."Jessica lowered her head thoughtfully.After marrying Christian, was she happy?She had been busy dealing with all kinds of problems every day, so she had never calmed down and thought about this issue seriously.Thinking about it carefully, she found that her life had begun to turn to normal since she got mar
"What on earth has happened?"Christian asked as he sat by Jessica's bedside.The people he arranged for to protect Jessica in the film crew only told him that Mask suddenly left the camp for some reason and then Jessica went out to look for him later.When they came back, they were all injured, including the director who looked for Mask. They were the only ones who knew what had happened.Jessica told him the whole story."So someone premeditatedly took Mask first and then told you to save him?""That’s right."Jessica said, “That person gave me a note. It said ‘Mask is in danger at the foot of the mountain. Go to rescue him ASAP!"It was about a man’s life. She did not dare to doubt it, so she went out to look for Mask without hesitation."Where is the note?" Christian asked."I gave it to Mask."Jessica replied, “Actually, it is useless to keep the note because it is written with computer fonts. Those guys are so cautious that they won’t leave a clue.”Christian’s eyes h
The ball would be held today.Jessica got up early and was about go to work at the TV station. She ate a few mouthfuls of food and wanted to set off.Christian stopped her. "Drink the milk."She looked at the cold Christian and knew that she'd better listen to him if she would like to leave now.She agreed decidedly. She picked up the glass and gulped down the half glass of milk. Then she showed the empty glass to him. "Is it OK?"Christian looked up and his eyes were filled with affection. He raised his hand and pointed at the corner of his own mouth to signal to her.Only then did Jessica realize that. She picked up a piece of napkin and cleaned the corner of her mouth...Ethan, who was behind Christian, watched Christian doing PDA silently...'Mr. Maddox makes no attempt to disguise his affection in front of Mrs. Maddox...''Who said that Mr. Maddox wasn't interested in love but only cared about his business?''Who said that Mr. Maddox wouldn't love any other woman after h
“Why does the Grace Group choose to cooperate with the Wasin Group?" Jessica asked.Seeing that she was concerned about it, Nathan explained, "Wasin becomes famous in Europe for the international logistic system these years. We have great technology and low human cost. They intend to outsource our logistic system."Jessica was not interested in the business because she was always in tune with Nathan.She believed in his capability, and he respected her as well.However, she wanted to confirm that the Grace chose Wasin because of their capacity, not because the Grace wanted favors."Is there any issue between you and the Grace?"Nathan was smart. He asked tentatively, "I can totally reconsider the cooperation if you disagree."Jessica smiled, "Nothing personal. I'll let you know when I need to." Nathan nodded. They chatted for a while, then said goodbye and got apart.Moments later, the ball started.To the beautiful music, men came into the dancing floor with their ladies ho
"Christian!"Grace had seen Christian earlier, but she pretended to have just seen him.She called Christian directly by his name, giving out a sensation of intimacy and affection. Jessica suppressed her temper.Christian didn’t respond. He walked straight to Jessica and asked again, "What did you do, hmm?"Jessica took a glance at Grace out of the corner of her eyes. Grace was standing behind Christian and watching the two with cold eyes. Jessica linked arms with Christian.“If you really want to know, I will tell you the details later tonight when we get back.”There was a sudden coldness on Grace’s face, quite obvious, and her eyes showed a touch of rarely seen viciousness. But soon she collected herself, looking only at Christian, and said, "Then I have to remind you that the show you will see on broadcast in a few days is not necessarily all truth. It is possible that it was edited by the program team." "Oh? Then I'd like to hear the truth in advance." Christian played alo
"Christian..." Grace failed to make Christian let go of her. Her brain was racing. Christian ignored her and walked towards Jessica to stand next to her. Jessica looked up at him and met Christian’s gaze. Christian's eyes were filled with mixed emotions. He seemed to be disappointed and mind what Grace had said just now, but he also seemed to believe and cherish her. Jessica could hardly tell what he was thinking now. "I just can't stand you spoiling this woman!" Glaring at Jessica and Christian, who stared at each other affectionately, Grace suddenly yelled with her eyes full of fire. She was completely angered. She had gotten something on Jessica, which could prove that Jessica cheated on Christian. However, Christian actually chose to stand on Jessica's side and even looked at her affectionately. In the beautiful music, Grace stopped acting like a dignified lady. "Yes, I sent someone to tell her in adva
Jessica glanced from Nathan to Grace, her impassive face giving little away.Grace hastened to the side of Nathan and lifted her head. The overwhelming panic caused by Christian's threatening words a moment ago finally ebbed somewhat as she realized that she had someone at her back in this place. She must keep her cool!Nathan, having divined what Grace was thinking, did not give voice to it and just waited.Grace stagily wrapped her arm around Nathan's and said, "This is my partner!"In the past few years, a lot of large enterprises had cooperated with Maddox Group in some way, and numerous companies not strong enough to pique Maddox Group's interest would give anything to strike up a relationship with the latter so as to get a meteoric rise.But Wasin Group was very different...During its many years of development, Wasin Group had never cooperated with Maddox Group in any field. Nobody knew whether it was just a coincidence or someone wanted it this way, but the couple of shar
At the north exit of the hall.Christian followed Jessica to the balcony. Without the noise of the ball, it seemed like another world.He took off his coat and put it on for Jessica, but she brushed it away and said, "I'm not cold.""The ball is just getting started. Don't you want to dance with me?" Christian tried to change the mood.But Jessica made him look bad, "You know I'm not here to dance. I've had my things done and thanks for your cooperation.""......" Christian paused and then said, " So, as reward, could you just go inside with me?""You are Mr. Maddox, the president of Maddox Group, I guess it's very easy for you to find a partner there." Jessica finally turned to look at him, and her eyes were defiant.She was tired of the ball and just wanted to stay here for some air.Christian's eyes darkened, "Are you interested in what Grace just said?"She turned to look at him while he looked back. A few seconds later, she was defeated by his persistence. But she pretend
