"She is really in danger..." Jessica frowned stubbornly. "Someone will save her!" There was a tinge of anxiety in Christian's accusation. Letting out a sigh in relief, Jessica lay back into his arms in silence. Christian carried her into the car while taking a glance at the silent woman in his arms. Her cheeks went crimson, her eyes a little blank. "What happened to you?" "Nothing..." The image that the strange man forced her to drink gradually gushed into her mind. Jessica started to feel unwell after drinking the drugged wine. Clenching her fists firmly, she tried hard to endure silently... The man stared sideways at the small face of the woman in his arms. With her sweaty face ghastly pale, how could she be okay as she claimed to be? It was well-known what would happen to her after she was plotted against by that rascal in that place. Christian said coldly, "Let Boen Hospital send a female doctor to Golden Hotel!" "Yes, Mr.
The phone rang suddenly. With his brows knitted, Christian shot a glance at it impatiently. He finally answered it after a long period of hesitation. "Mr. Maddox, the doctor is here." "Let her come in!" The door was opened. Ethan entered the presidential suite with the female doctor from Boen Hospital. Christian got off the bed. "She has passed out. Hurry up!" "Mr. Maddox, don't worry. She will wake up after an injection," the doctor said. Christian ripped off his tie irritably and retreated aside. Ethan secretly glanced at Christian's crimson neck, unbuttoned shirt, and the tousled hair... 'Why do the doctors from Boen Hospital come here so quickly? It will make me no way to get the bonus for this quarter...' After the injection, the pain on her body seemed to subside a lot. The female doctor asked, "Mr. Maddox, do you need me to change clothes for this lady?" Without waiting for Christian to speak, Ethan hur
Jessica called back."Miss Bush, when should I expose the scandal I got last night?" The private detective asked. "No rush. I will contact you when the time comes." An accident happened to Cain last month. If Jared was in trouble right after him, Nathan would face a lot of criticisms later when he took over the company. She must wait for a good chance. *When she hung up and came back, Christian was eating breakfast. He motioned her to sit opposite to him with his jaw to eat together. "Why did you go there last night?" Christian was eating elegantly. How come this guy didn't forget to tout his nobleness while enjoying the breakfast? Jessica sat down, without any appetite at all. "Go get some people's scandals." "Drink this." Christian pushed a bowl of soup to him, his tone cold and resolute. Jessica picked it up. The soup tasted very bland with a faint smell of medicine. She, not finding it repulsive, sipped it. Christian continue
Jessica paused a little bit and said seriously, "I want to pull Jared Nash down from Wasin Group’s chairman seat, so about his scandals, I might spread it out..."But rest assured. I will only give out his numerous dirty deals with women, all well recorded in his smart phone, and some of his dirty dealings in business, depending on the extent, of course. All those between him and his stepmother, I’ll leave that to you, so you got the goods on him. As long as Jared still relies on his father, he won’t dare to threaten you.”Gail pondered for a while and then said, "You don’t need my consent. You collected all the evidence. All is up to you. I won’t have any clue without you.” “I just..." Gail interrupted her, "Don't make it sound like you’re doing it all for yourself. Don’t I know that you do this to help me?” Jessica laughed. Then she linked arms with Gail, and the two walked on towards the recording studio."By the way, early this morning Wade Maddox came to the next studio f
While they were preparing for the program, Tanner, who had stayed at home for a long time, came up to Jessica and said, "Ask someone to send the interview's outline to Flora as soon as possible. If she is dissatisfied, revise it right now."After Tanner came back from his suspension, he relaxed his hostile attitude to Jessica. At least, he didn't have the guts to make things difficult for her in public. He reminded Jessica, "She is a super star and has Maddox Group’s support. She is not simple. All the people who had worked with her said that she was high-maintenance. Be careful. Don't offend her."Jessica smiled faintly, "I've just taken over the program Listen to My Thoughts. I will be nice to every guest..."At this moment, Flora's assistant came over and asked, "Where is the host, Jessica Bush?""I'm here."Jessica turned around."Flora wants to see you."Tanner was right. Even Flora's assistant was so arrogant.Jessica nodded and turned around to communicate with several
Flora casually glanced outside. She did not believe what Jessica said.Jessica waved her hand and beckoned her assistant over. "Invite Wade over and let him explain to Flora face to face."Hearing Jessica’s firm tone, Flora panicked.Although her parents’ company had the fortune to cooperate with Maddox Group in the past two years and her parents also expected her to play up to the Maddox family, she was not on familiar terms with either Christian or Wade.She did not dare to annoy Wade with these trivial matters, so she had to say to the assistant coldly, "Fine. Shut up! Bring me my own cosmetics.""It turns out that she takes them with her!"Someone complained in exasperation. Flora had made everyone wait for her for so long in vain."Ha!"Flora raised her eyes and sneered, "I can't believe you guys are so unprofessional. Do you need artists to bring their own cosmetics when you make them up? That’s ridiculous!""I guarantee that your cosmetics are used for you alone. When t
Everybody in the room stiffened at Christian's intimidatingly indifferent words.Those women who were putting on an act just now suddenly shut their mouths up. Paige didn't know Christian at all, and she was the first one to step back. Although Flora had spoken to Christian, she was in no position to talk about his private life, and she also felt awkward right now. Only Jessica said calmly, "Mr. Maddox, both your rumored girlfriend and your lover are here. What a coincidence!"‘How dare Jessica say that to Christian! She is done for!’Everyone thought so, including Gail.Christian didn't change his face. He approached Jessica and said coldly, "And?""And what?""And the third woman with another identity?" Christian stared at her meaningfully.‘Is he talking about... me?‘His legal wife?’Jessica compressed her lips and lowered her head.Bold as Jessica was, she didn't dare to offend Christian.Everyone around was watching a good show.Christian went on, "Don't back off! T
"Then don't record it."Christian's face remained expressionless.It took Flora a few seconds to realize that Christian was supporting her.Flora's agent also spoke more confidently, "Then you just wait. I'll take Flora to the hospital. If her work is affected by the allergy, you will be responsible for all the consequences!"After speaking, she walked out with Flora. Flora turned around and told her assistant, "Take my cosmetics."When she passed by Christian, she said coquettishly, "Mr. Maddox, I always take this set of cosmetics with me wherever I go."Christian took a cold glance at Flora's face, and that was all his reaction.Flora quickly covered her face to hide her embarrassment, "Then Mr. Maddox... I'm leaving for the hospital now."In the onlookers' eyes, Mr. Maddox didn't seem to treat Flora nicely."Mr. Maddox, if you just let her leave, how should I do with my show?"Jessica raised her bright eyes and stared at Christian who was a step away.Everyone took a deep
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
