"Quick!""There is someone over there!"The lifeguards on the lifeboat in the river saw someone beckoning on the shore and hurriedly turned to pick her up."Are you OK?"The drenched woman was taken aboard the boat.Her whole body was trembling. Her face was pale and her eyes were full of tears, "I'm fine... but I couldn't save them and bring them back together..."After the woman said it, she burst into tears.The lifeguards on the boat felt sorry for her."You just managed to save yourself, how could you save them? You are great already."The captain ordered the two lifeguards to send the woman back, and the others went downstream to continue looking for the two who were still missing.Christian's car braked sharply on the shore.He saw a group of people surrounding a thin and wet figure not far away. The doctor in a white coat next to her was asking her something, and she talked a lot.Christian was surprised. He got out of the car and ran to...The doctor had just fini
"How many scenes do you have?" Christian looked down, and his voice was chill and hard."Five.""Five guest appearances would expose yourself to such danger? People would think you were the leading actress."Jessica knew his irony was out of concern, so she didn’t bother to argue with him. Instead, she tried to explain, “Actually...”Christian interrupted her, “Don’t go shooting for the rest!”"How is that possible?”Jessica insisted, “I signed the contract... Well... I know any contract doesn’t mean anything to you, but I promise I won’t take such risks in the future.”Christian looked up coldly. He sensed the unusualness. “So you are deliberately risking your life?” Jessica compressed her lips. "Not exactly."Before Christian entirely exploded, Jessica held her arms up to her waist and said sincerely. “Let me explain...”Only then did she tell Christian the whole story.Before this scene, Mary Short told her in the bathroom that she had overheard that Harrison and Flora w
"Miss Bush, when Flora pushed you into the water, did you still try to save her?"Jessica shook her head silently. “No, no...""The scene was captured by us. You held Flora's hand tightly underwater lest she be swept away by the water.""You are in danger in the water, but you still did not forget to save other people. You suffered these injuries when saving them, right? When Flora wakes up, she needs to thank you."Jessica raised her eyes and asked, “They have been saved?""Yes, we just received the news. They have been sent to the hospital. It is said that they are not seriously injured,” A group of reporters gathered around Jessica and said.Jessica fluttered her long eyelashes slightly and said, “That's great..."After a while, the crew squeezed in and tried to help Jessica block the enthusiastic reporters. They said Jessica did not feel well and needed to rest, so they let the reporters leave.These reporters got the big news they were interested in, so they promised to le
Christian almost kissed Jessica, but she closed her blurred eyes slowly.'She... falls asleep?'Feeling her equal breathing, Christian swallowed and arched his eyebrows.She fell asleep at such a moment again!On the other side.In the hospital.Flora and Harrison were in the same ward. After they had a check-up and were put on drips, they had woken up.Flora browsed the trending topics online. All the netizens praised Jessica and criticized Flora. Flora was extremely furious.At that time, Harrison said untimely, "Flora, it's too dangerous! You can't take risks like that anymore..."Before Harrison finished speaking, Flora interrupted him peremptorily, "You shouldn't have jumped into the water to save me! You ruined my plan!""Jessica suddenly asked me to come on stage later. You should have noticed that something was wrong and should not have acted willfully." Harrison was grouchy."What is done can't be undone!"Flora's face turned ashen in anger. She panted heavily and
When Christian told the driver to go to Jessica's home, his voice was light and filled with joy. He hinted or even explicitly asked several times that it was time for Jessica to take him home to meet her parents, but Jessica just pretended not to understand or didn't want to listen. He did not want to force her, especially when it came to feelings. This time Jessica voluntarily invited him to go home with her. A feeling of being accepted by the one he cared about arose in his heart. He hadn’t felt that way for a long time. The car slowly drove into the villa of Bush family. Jessica got out of the car first. Madam Bush came along with the maids to greet them. Seeing her daughter, Madam Bush’s eyes were brimmed with tears. “How much longer would you live outside if I didn't force you to come home? Ah?"“You didn't tell me even one word. Wouldn't I be worried if you kept everything from me?” Madam Bush watched the video of Jessica falling into the water on the internet. She was
Jessica got up a bit late the next morning.There was no one on the bed next to her. She didn't think it was strange, because her mother got up early every morning at this time.But what she found strange was that when she opened the door and went out to make some noise, she did not hear her mother calling her to eat breakfast.Jessica rubbed her hair and went downstairs, following the fragrance of food.There was various food on the table, at least six or seven kinds. Most importantly, there was buttered rice...It took a lot of time to make such a dish, and she could tell it was made by her mom just by its fragrance."Chris, have a try and see if it tastes like last time."Madam Bush looked at her well-behaved son-in-law opposite her with expectation in her eyes. "OK."Christian took a bite and swallowed it before he quickly took another bite, “It’s even tastier than last time!Madam Bush smiled proudly and said, "It was all made by me. How could it taste better this time?
"How could I cast a spell?"Jessica blushed and took the opportunity to slip away from him.But Christian acted faster and stopped her, "It's a love spell."Jessica was caught off guard and was kissed by him. She tried to find an opportunity to break free and questioned, "This is my home. Why are you so unscrupulous?""We are legally married. Why am I afraid?""..."**She hadn't fully recovered yet, so he kissed her for a while and then let go of her.He took her into his arms and watch her fall asleep soon.Christian remembered that on that talk show, a tarot card reader explained his card to him.He had said that he would experience an unrequited love.Thinking of the look in her eyes when she wasn't very concerned about him, Christian could hardly explain his deep feelings for her.The tarot card thing... was it really accurate?Last night, Jessica shared the bed with Madam Bush. Christian was alone in the guest room. He was worried that she would not feel well, and th
Jessica entered the TV station. Before she could say a few words with Gail, she saw Adam coming out of another room."What is he doing?" Jessica's eyes were cold.Gail curled her lips in dissatisfaction, "It's Paige! She thinks that the adventure show is practically hers, and she has begun to blatantly talk with the guests!""Is she going to invite Adam?""Yes," Gail nodded, "The reality show's scenarist-director team hopes that the guests come from all walks of life, not all idol stars, so that it will get more attention."Jessica's eyelashes quivered, and it seemed that Smith Group had begun to pave the way for whitewashing its negative public image.How could Jessica allow them to get their way?Adam saw them too. He smiled instantly, and walked towards Jessica, "Hey, Jess!""When I came, I asked about you. They said you were resting at home. How are you feeling? Are you injured?"Gail rolled her eyes and felt sick. She turned to avoid him."Isn't it better for me not to c
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
