Jessica watched the unimaginable scene in front of her and tried her best to calm down.'Just now Flora stirred up trouble for no reason, scratched me and we didn't beat her. However, now she falls to the ground and it seems to be serious.'Looking at Flora who was sitting on the ground and groaning continually, Jessica finally understood why Flora went mad for no reason, stirred up trouble, cursed her and beat her. It seemed that Flora did all these things on purpose.Jessica thought of it. Christian was smart and he must have thought of it too.However, Flora's face was pallor and she was sweating heavily. It was shocking. She still muttered, "Christian, you pushed me... You hurt... our baby...""Call the ambulance!"Christian thundered. Although he glared at Flora, he took action in time. After all, Flora and her baby were in danger.The bodyguards who had been spying on Flora outside the door reacted quickly.Jessica calmed down and thought back to the situation just now.
The dust settled.Christian and Jessica left the operating room, found a bench to sit on, and had a moment of peace.Watched over by Christian's men, Flora couldn't escape or cause trouble. They didn't have to worry about that.But they both realized one serious problem. They might have inadvertently fallen into Flora's trap…"Flora deliberately hit me today so that I would fight back or you would shove her to the ground.It was hard for her to keep the baby, to begin with, so she cooked up a scheme with the goal of making you feel guilty. Then she would exploit it and continue to ask you for the benefits she wanted…" Jessica analyzed the situation.Christian's bushy brows furrowed. He thought for a while, saying, "Now we have a trickier problem. The child is gone, and she'll stick to her story that he was my seed. I don't have a way to prove otherwise." Jessica's eyes went dim as she shared the same view. To her surprise, Flora turned into a mastermind… By the time she
Jessica stayed at the hospital for a while. Suddenly, she received a text message.She fixed her gaze on it and then said to Christian, "I have to go. I will call you later."After saying that, she went straight out and got into Christian's car.In the car, she briefly touched up her makeup and told the driver to go directly to a restaurant...When Jessica arrived, a man in a hat was sitting by a window and waiting.She walked over to him. He looked up and asked, "Which hospital is Flora in?" He looked extremely anxious.Jessica put her bag away and sat down elegantly. She then waved to the waiter and ordered a cup of iced Americano. She looked up to ask the man sitting across the table, "What would you like to drink, Harrison?"Harrison bit his lips, but he had to be patient. "Water, please. Thank you!"After the waiter left, Jessica looked at him and said calmly, "Take it easy. It's useless to worry. Flora has finished the operation. The baby is gone."The moment Jessica sai
As soon as the driver saw Jessica walking out, he drove over to her.She called Christian in the car, "Mr. Maddox, where are you? When you're available, let's go to meet Flora together. I have got the evidence."Jessica heard Christian's breath on the phone. He smiled, "Little cheetah, you're more efficient than I expected. I'm working in Boen Hospital. Just come here to see me.""Mr. Maddox, you're so efficient and influence me all the time, so I'm efficient," she joked.Soon, she returned to the hospital and met Christian who was working in Boen Hospital's office.She asked, "Do you want to hear my evidence first?""No need. I believe you."Jessica smiled and arched her eyebrows slightly. "Lend me your computer."Then she walked behind Christian's desk and sat down. She took out the recording pen and operated the computer expertly. She made a copy of the recording first and clipped the part that she would show to Flora. She pulled out the recording pen after she confirmed tha
Flora heard clearly Jessica and Harrison's conversation in the recorder.Every word stung her.Harrison admitted that he was the child’s father. He felt sorry for Flora and also disapproved of Flora’s behavior. Moreover, he was at a loss for their relationship...Flora struggled and rubbed her head. Now, she looked like a psychopath with her hair tousled.Suddenly, she lifted the quilt and rushed out of bed!She snatched away the digital recorder in Jessica's hands and slammed it on the floor.Christian quickly stepped forward to protect Jessica behind her, and the bodyguards also quickly entered the room to block Flora’s way.After crushing the recorder, Flora screamed crazily again, "You slander me! My child’s father is Christian! My child’s father is indeed Christian. I don't know what you are talking about! Jessica, don't you dare frame me!"Jessica said calmly with cold eyes, "You think you can get away with it by crushing the recorder? I have made a lot of backups. Do you
Flora still wanted to shout. Soon, she was gagged by several strong men. She lay prone, waved her hands and roared, but she could only make mournful sounds and resignedly see Christian and Jessica leaving...Before Jessica turned the corner, she turned around to glance at Flora.Flora was lifted by several bodyguards. Her messy hair covered her face. She looked helpless.Jessica couldn't help but sigh.Christian stood beside Jessica and said in a deep voice, "Everything happens for a reason."Jessica nodded. Flora had some social relationships in Jakesville. If they let her stay here, it would be uncertain what she would do in the future...If she repented and mended her ways, she would have the chance to start a new life.If not, someone would teach her bitter lessons even though she went to a place where was far away from Jakesville...'As the saying goes, what goes around comes around.'Flora left Jakesville...The producers of The Beauty were unhappy with Flora's agency.
"How do you know it?" Nathan was surprised.Jessica smiled. "If I had known that the major shareholder of Charm Valley Group is Duke Louis, I would have saved myself a lot of trouble. I got an invitation from Vanessa two days ago."Nathan's tone became light. "So you know Vanessa? That's great!"But Jessica warned, "Don't be too optimistic. Now Adam is Vanessa’s boyfriend. We have to be cautious."Nathan listened and calmly nodded.Adam was not only Jessica's ex-boyfriend but also a former shareholder of Wasin Group who was squeezed out. Therefore, there was a possibility that he would make trouble secretly.On the night of Vanessa’s birthday party, Nathan drove Jessica to attend the party.Vanessa was dressed to kill and smiled brightly when she saw Jessica coming.After chatting with Jessica for a while, Vanessa went to entertain other guests. At the moment, Nathan came over.Jessica asked him, "Have you seen Adam?"Jessica had kept looking around just now and hadn't spotte
Jessica detested Adam very much and was reluctant to see him one more time. She kept her hands behind her back and did something secretly. "If you want to experience the women's restroom, enjoy it. I'll get out of your hair.""Hey, hold your horses." Adam pulled her wrist frivolously on purpose and his gaze was very aggressive. "I haven't seen you for a long time."Jessica turned around and frowned. "You'd better let go immediately.""Are you threatening me?" Adam became more aggressive.Jessica thought of something and said, "Vanessa is waiting for you outside. If you still care about her, I advise you to be kind!"She tried to leave again. Adam was reluctant to let go. He pulled her backward and pushed her against the wall violently. "Don't use Vanessa to threaten me!""Is that so? In your eyes, Vanessa isn't your girlfriend but a cat's paw that will help you get a higher position?""Humph!"Adam smiled sinisterly, "Don't you know me well? You know clearly what women mean to
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
