'Christian?'Jessica was touched.When he came to France to take her home last time, he didn't ask anything along the way, but she was sure that he must have known what had happened.He didn't say anything and she was reluctant to mention it. She didn't expect him to arrange for someone to teach Adam a lesson secretly...It was not the whole story. Vanessa added, "Adam is in trouble. He is not only injured, but also he has pissed off senior leaders of several groups, including my father. Now all of them are against Smith Group... I guess that Mr. Maddox did all these things..."Vanessa looked up at Jessica and her gaze was complicated. "I tell you these things not because I want you to intercede with Mr. Maddox. Don't worry... I know that Adam deserves it. He was in collusion with a lot of bad guys and hid it from me. These people won't let off him..."Jessica was touched but kept silent.'Christian did these things behind my back. It might be because he didn't want me to worry
The next day.Scotland.Jessica got off the plane, hailed a taxi, and went straight to the beach.Two hours later, she boarded a huge, luxurious cruise ship in a skirt that set off her figure. There was a party on the ship, and there were workers responsible for guest registration. At the sign-in desk, Jessica asked, "Hi, may I ask if the host of the party is on this ship?" "You want to see him?"The waiter glanced at her and sniffed, "Every woman here wants to see him!""I'm unlike them…" "Hmm…" the waiter sized her up, "You're wearing more than others, but your excuse is clichés… Neil is on the ship over there. Without his permission, no one can get on board!" His message was clear. If it were not for her pretty face, she wouldn't have gotten on even this ship without an invitation!Jessica looked over at the ship chained to this one. Apparently, that one was more luxurious and cozier. There was a hierarchy for a party… seriously…"I'll say it one more tim
Jerome sat in a corner alone. No women surrounded him. He wasn't influenced by the party atmosphere at all. He held a glass of wine and took a drink from the glass. No matter how electric the atmosphere was, he was as cold as usual.He raised his head to glance at Jessica. Then he lowered his head to drink again.Jessica didn't bother to pay attention to Jerome either. She came up to Neil, "Mr. Morrison, I have something to talk to you. Let's go to a quiet place.""Who are you?"Neil kept silent. A female model who was next to Neil shouted to oppose, "You're too selfish. We have spent the whole night with Mr. Morrison. How dare you beat us to the punch?"Another model who was also next to Neil held his arm and played the woman. "She is right. Mr. Morrison, you lost just now, but you haven't drunk as the punishment yet.""Ahem."Jessica cleared her throat and said coldly, "I come here not for snatching your business, but what I will tell Mr. Morrison is a little serious. It will
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
"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
"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
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
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
