Jessica was teased by Christian and went to remove her makeup sullenly...When she went downstairs later, she looked like as usual and Christian felt satisfied.He was upset before because she said she didn't like a man with a poker face, but he felt better now. It seemed that he cared about her evaluation very much.Jessica didn't notice that Christian was curling the corner of his mouth and smiling faintly.She didn't know his selfish thoughts.Today her makeup wasn't ugly. He said she was ugly because she was beautiful to be like that.She coiled her long black hair and it framed her fair skin. She had more makeup than usual. Her small nose was prominent. Her lips were reddish. Her eyes were liquid... She was soft, beautiful and charming.She was so charming that he felt jealous and didn't want others to see her like this.Christian drove her to the old mansion of Maddox family."Are you going to take me to visit your family?"Jessica felt nervous."Today is my grandfathe
Jessica was suddenly enlightened.For a long time, she only knew that Madam was from a very privileged family.But she could never have imagined that she was Granny Maddox...After thinking about it this way, many questions have been figured out.For example, when she went to a boutique to try on a dress, she inferred at the time that it was Wade who had secretly told Christian to back her up, but it was actually Granny Maddox.But...Jessica thought of something else and thought it didn't make sense, "Madam, didn't you ask me to go on a blind date with your grandson last time?" ‘Then who is that fat guy?’Granny Maddox looked embarrassed, "Jess, it's my fault. I shouldn't have arranged that... I hadn't watched the live broadcast at that time and didn't know you were already my granddaughter-in-law!""Huh? Oh." ‘What live broadcast?’Jessica responded with puzzlement, thinking that Christian had told Granny Maddox.Just then, the study door on the third floor slammed shut.
Hearing Christian's words, Granny Maddox subconsciously looked to her side.Wasn't it... Jessica next to her?"What nonsense are you talking about? She's your brother's girlfriend!"Granny Maddox looked at Jessica and laughed, as if she was saying, “Don't you mind. Christian is not usually so facetious...”With a smile, she then walked over to Grandpa Maddox, patted him on the shoulder, and complimented, "This is Jess. I told you about her!""I went to a lot of trouble to set her up with Christian, but she didn't fall for him because she's already Wade's girlfriend!""I told you that Jess and I were meant to be together. She just had to be my granddaughter-in-law!"Grandpa Maddox looked at Jessica. This girl's eyes were pure but not pedantic, and she looked rather good for being independent and smart...The point was since his wife thought she was good, then this little girl should be good for real.As the two people across the table surveyed her, Jessica finally couldn't help
Grandpa Maddox had not been in good health in recent years, and he did not make a big deal of his return this time. So he did not have a big birthday party, but just had a meal with his family.Wade finally came back and said that he was delayed because he was chased by his fans on the road and took a detour.When everyone arrived, Granny Maddox urged the maids to serve the food and everyone was seated."This is what I asked them to prepare especially. Boiled prawns!" Granny Maddox pointed at the dish for Jessica.The maid was busy dividing the prawns into plates and serving them to Jessica.She was about to say no when the person next to her raised his hand and stopped the maid, "She's allergic to prawn shells."Hearing this, Jessica turned her head and looked at Christian with her eyes wide open.How did he know she was allergic to prawn shells?She didn't remember her telling him."Oh, oh, don't eat it then."Just as Granny Maddox finished speaking, Christian added, "Altho
"Lady... Granny Maddox? Hello!""My name is Flora. Granny Maddox, I'm the spokesperson for the Maddox Group."Granny Maddox ignored her, and Flora introduced herself with a flattering smile, "Granny Maddox, I have prepared gifts for both Grandpa Maddox and you..."Granny Maddox looked at her and sneered, "Why don't you think I'm the maid of the house?"Flora tried to smile as naturally as possible, "Granny Maddox, you are so elegant, how can you be a maid?"As she said, she began to rummage through the bags she brought. And no matter how ugly her ingratiating face was at the moment, she showed Granny Maddox through the doorway."This is a new dress I brought back from Paris, and it's a global limited edition. Such a high-end material and design, only you can match it...The Wuther family inquired about their preferences early. Grandpa Maddox's favorite was Granny Maddox, and Granny Maddox's preference was much more obvious. It was said that she was a famous beauty in high societ
The next day Jessica adjusted her schedule specially and managed to spare three hours in order to accompany her mother to the royal antique auction.After arriving there, Madam Bush focused on reading the auction catalogue, while Jessica went alone to handle the deposit."Miss Bush, this is your card for auction, please take it."The staff said politely, "Your deposit has been detained successfully and will be fully returned if you don’t purchase anything. Here is the bidding guarantee you signed in duplicate, please take it.""Okay, thanks."Jessica turned to leave, but the staff's eyes still fixed on her back."Eh-hem."The next customer who came in for the deposit cleared his throat, the staff came back to his senses with embarrassment.But the customer asked him, "Do you also think that lady is pretty?"The staff nodded with a blush.He had been working at the auction house for a long time, but seldom saw such a beauty who didn’t rely on the glittering jewels to grace her
Jessica's voice, which was slightly hoarse, nice and soft, drew the attention of many people.Some men turned their heads from the front. Seeing Jessica's beautiful face, they smiled and greeted her."Six million! Miss A75 bid six million. Six million for the first time! Six million...""Six million two hundred thousand!""Six million three hundred thousand!"Different voices came one after another.The auctioneer smiled brightly on the stage and shouted loudly, hoping that the price would continue to rise.Madam Bush smacked her lips, "So many people want it...?"She wanted to give up. Jessica was just about to raise her card when Madam Bush stopped her, "If it goes on like this, how much will it cost? It's not worth it anymore...""Nathan promised to double the dividends of Wasin Group. Wasin Group has been in full swing lately, and it’ll cost just half a year of dividends. It's okay."Jessica reassured Madam Bush. As they were talking, the man on the left said, "Seven mill
Before Jessica could react, she saw Flora come up to Mr. Edward and introduce herself nervously."Hello, Mr. Edward!""I am very concerned about The Splendid Dynasty produced by HT Entertainment Company. I am very impressed with the experience of the female supporting role and have written a long email with my speculation and understanding of the role to you. I don't know if you think I'm suitable for it?"Mr. Edward sized up the overly enthusiastic woman in front of him. He frowned and searched his mind for her name, but ultimately, his eyes remained blank."You are..."Flora subconsciously glanced at Jessica next to her, feeling incredibly embarrassed, but still said with a smiling face, "Mr. Edward, I'm Flora Wuther.""Oh."Mr. Edward responded, but still didn't remember if he had ever crossed paths with her."You can get in touch with my assistant." After saying that, he motioned to the assistant behind him with his hand. Then the assistance went to chase away Flora."Miss
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
