After an hour, the door was opened again. White walked in with several men.White threw a chair in front of Jessica and sat down fiercely, "Jessica, say something. Do you want to have fun with them?""White! Why are you so gentle to her?"At that time, the woman spoke again, "Although you're in charge of the matter, I can't stand aside anymore and would like to help you." Jessica was familiar with the woman's voice.As soon as the woman finished speaking, the door was opened again. The woman walked in. She also wore a mask and neat clothes that were suitable for moving. She held a small injector. There were unknown purple potions inside."You're a host. It will make you dumb. Do you want to have a try?" The woman came up and wanted to give Jessica an injection.Jessica writhed to avoid the injector, but the woman was nimble. She still managed to prick Jessica's arm with the needle."Ah!"Jessica exclaimed.The woman was pushing the injector. Suddenly, White hit the woman's han
"What did you think of? Say it!"White asked urgently."My mom probably knows what you guys want to know."Jessica said unhurriedly, "A few days ago, my home was burgled. Someone rummaged through my dad's study and seemed to look for something. You did it, right?"She asked explicitly, and White didn't beat around the bush. He admitted directly."At that time, my mom was shocked and told me that my dad’s secret could not be concealed anymore... I didn't give it much thought at the time, but now it occurs to me that my mom's words meant something else..." Jessica continued."What else did she say?" White couldn't help but ask."I told you. I thought my mom was so scared that she talked nonsense, so I didn't ask her more questions... But just now, that crazy woman gave me an injection, which reminded me of something. I remembered that my dad once gave me a set of keys to a house, but I don't know where the house is… I wonder if the keys are related to my dad’s secret. I can call m
"I know my mom well. She said that she needed to think about it. It means that she plans to tell me. If she was reluctant to tell me, she would have refused immediately." Jessica started seizing the initiative.The scarred man glanced at White. White kept silent, so the scarred man also kept silent.Jessica said, "I think we should discuss the conditions.""What conditions do you mean?" White sat down."If my mother calls back later and tells me the address of the villa, will you let me go?""After we confirm the address and it's true, we will let you go.""What if you go back on your words?" Jessica asked calmly."I promise that we will let you go." White was also very calm."Why should I believe you?" Jessica asked again.The scarred man sneered beside Jessica, "White likes you very much! If you are obedient, we will let you go!""Like me?"Jessica examined the masked man's eyes. She couldn't see the shape of his eyes clearly, but he was avoiding her gaze...Although she
Christian drove the car and arrived at the water's edge.He boarded the yacht immediately.Ethan plucked up the courage and came up to stop Christian. "Mr. Maddox... You can't go there. If you have an accident, what about Maddox Group?"Christian narrowed his eyes. Ethan shut up immediately.Christian didn't consider too much about it. He only cared about one thing. 'I have to go to save Jessica. She is in danger.'Ethan was left behind. Christian only brought two men. They boarded the yacht quickly. Christian ordered decisively, "Tell Felix to take action in advance! Wait for my signal!""OK... Mr. Maddox, be careful!" Ethan stood on the shore and frowned tightly.Christian ignored the anxious Ethan and ordered the subordinates ahead to start the yacht. Then he turned to look at Ethan and stressed, "Remember! Take action swiftly! Make noises as loud as possible!""OK! Mr. Maddox, don't worry. I will ask Felix to fully cooperate with you!"Before Ethan finished speaking, the y
"Go ahead!"The scarred man tied Jessica backhanded to the chair. In his eyes, her struggle and pain was seduction, causing him to be impatient!"I won't gag you. I like someone tough, so just scream! The louder, the better!"The scarred man took a covetous gaze at her and pounced on her so heavily that the chair fell to the ground. The chair got broken, and her back smashed against it, the pain, from her skin or heart, running through her like a sword.The scarred man didn't care about it. He just tore her clothes with his eyes reddened...Jessica was struggling with bloodshot eyes!The scarred man laughed wildly, "Don't waste your strength. Why are you struggling? Show me your tricks to please Christian!"Because the chair had got broken on the ground, although Jessica was injured, unexpectedly, her wrists, which were bound behind the chair, were quite loosened.As she struggled, she found that her hands could be freed up!At that moment, the man had ripped off his shirt and
"Christian!" Jessica exclaimed in a low voice.As expected, the tall person who stood at the door was Christian.Seeing him striding towards her, she shed tears involuntarily...She had been waiting for him all the time. When she called her mother, she signaled to her mother that she was in danger deliberately. She thought that her mother would call Christian. Then Christian would go to save her...But she had been waiting for so long that she was almost desperate...Christian looked at her and his face clouded over.She was barefoot. Her face was pale. Her face and neck were stained with bright red blood. Although she was in a sorry state, she was so stunning. She was so determined that she even tried to use her life to protect her dignity. He was moved.He walked over, squatted down and reached out to turn her face aside to check the wound on her neck. Although it was not serious, he was distressed by her wound. His narrow eyes were filled with worries. "Why were you so stupid
If it was possible, Jessica would like to pull Christian like that and stop him from taking a risk, but she knew that she couldn't stop him and couldn't replace him to make the decision about how to solve the outside crisis either.She shed tears because of her incompetence and worries for him."I won't die, silly girl!"Christian said as he stroked her head. Then he leaped out...Christian's men were close to the kidnappers on the opposite. White wore a mask and led a dozen people with guns. They were fighting a gun battle with Christian's three men.As expected, the man who had the crew cut hairstyle was among Christian's three men.Now Jessica was sure that that man was Christian's spy here. Thanks to the crew cut man, Christian could come here to save her.Christian leaped out under cover of several cars that were parked here. He leaped to the sphere of influence of the kidnappers directly.Christian's three men were weaker than the kidnappers. Soon, Christian's men were de
After a while, Jessica heard Christian's voice. "Jessica! Jessica!"She opened her eyes faintly.She felt that it had been a long time after the explosion, but it might have only passed one minute. After the explosion, she fell into a trance...At that time, she thought involuntarily. 'Maybe it is not bad for her to die in Christian's arms like that.'She heard Christian's voice and saw his face. The hair on his forehead touched her face. He stared at her with his bloodshot eyes.Only then did she know that she was still alive.They were all alive..."Are you OK? Have you got hurt?" Christian was worried about her."I'm fine."Jessica moved her arms and legs. She felt that she was fine.Christian nodded and started observing the situation nearby. She heard his steady heartbeat. It seemed that the crisis just now was small fry to him.Christian found another place where the grass grew thickly and let her hide there.Just now the bomb was formidable. They had got separated fr
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
