last update Last Updated: 2024-02-08 15:44:37

One afternoon, Jessica was reheating the soup that Henry had cooked in the morning when she received a call from Quincy.

"Old Mr. Lee wants to see me?" Jessica turned off the stove, grabbed her cane, and walked out of the kitchen. She pursed her lips, wondering why Old Mr. Lee was so determined to meet him.

That day at the banquet, after seeing her, he seemed greatly affected.

Well, let's meet then!

Considering Quincy's her senior, she agreed, "Fine, I'm free in the afternoon."

"Where are you? I'll come pick you up!" Quincy sounded a bit desolate when he said this. His people had told him that Jessica and Henry lived in Marcus's house. She had almost forgotten that they were still in the stage of pretending to be a couple.

Perhaps, from beginning to end, he was the only one who wanted to get closer to her. And she had never thought about it.

"No need, just make a reservation at a restaurant to meet. I'll come over," Jessica replied.

"Is your leg okay?"

"I'm fine."

"Alright, shall we m

    "It's my honor!" Jessica said calmly. Although she expanded the love triangle in her mind, she maintained the same smile on her face, as charming as before."Is Miss Jessica a local?" Old Mr. Lee asked.Jessica smiled faintly and said, "I believe Old Mr. Lee has already investigated. You should be well aware of my background."Old Mr. Lee's expression changed slightly as he looked deeply into her eyes, feeling surprised and yet accepting. He nodded, "Indeed, I've looked into it. I hope Miss Jessica doesn't mind my rudeness. It's indeed because you resemble someone from my past..."Jessica nodded understandingly. Mr. Marcus had also suspected it, but he never investigated it. Otherwise, he would have known about Henry a long time ago. This was very different from the way Old Mr. Alston and Old Mr. Lee acted.She recalled Marcus' pained and resentful expression after the banquet, as if he was a prisoner trapped for life, never to be released. Jessica could easily imagine what Old Mr. Al

    Jessica walked out of the restaurant with the crutch, and Quincy immediately came up to help her. "Jessica, be careful!""It's okay, I can walk!" Jessica smiled lightly. It wasn't that she couldn't walk on one foot, it was just inconvenient."I'll take you back!" Quincy furrowed his eyebrows, his gentle face filled with concern. He had some understanding of the details of the car accident and felt extremely unhappy with Marcus. If it wasn't for him, Jessica wouldn't have to suffer like this.Jessica shook her head and glanced back at the restaurant. "Your grandfather is inside, and he might have something to say to you.""What did my grandfather say to you?" Quincy asked worriedly. Old Mr. Lee didn't tell him why he wanted to see Jessica, and Quincy couldn't figure it out no matter how he guessed, leaving him with lingering doubts."You should go ask him!" Jessica smiled and hesitated for a moment before firmly saying, "Let's stop pretending to be a couple!"Quincy was startled, looki

    In the evening, the sunset spread all over, adding a touch of warmth to the entire villa.Jessica was reading in the living room. After being physically disabled, besides watching movies and chatting online, reading books became her biggest pastime!She suddenly realized that being a housewife was not easy!It's so boring every day!How do those upper-class women live their lives?Jessica was very curious. They don't work because they are afraid of bringing shame to their families. They occasionally attend parties and cocktail parties, so what do they do with the rest of their time?Anyway, she found it quite boring.Time passed little by little, and when she grew old, she suddenly realized that she hadn't done anything.

    "That old man, his mind is completely abnormal, he always does some perverted things!""I agree, he, Old Mr. Alston, and you, none of you are normal!" Jessica said lightly, with a hint of joking, "All very twisted!"The only difference is that the perversions of those two old men are annoying, but Mr. Marcus's perversions are occasionally cute."Mr. Marcus, do you mind telling me about the grudges between Old Mr. Alston, Old Mr. Lee, and Diana Brown?""Why do you want to know?" Marcus unexpectedly, didn't get angry this time. His cold gaze swept over, exceptionally cold and intimidating, dispelling the warmth created by the setting sun. Like autumn wind and fallen leaves, desolate for miles.Jessica remained silent, thinking that Mr. Marcus was chilling. To reach such a level of coldness, one must have a certain state of mind."Old Mr. Alston looked at me for the first time with an expression like he wanted to swallow me whole. When Old Mr. Lee saw me for the first time, the spirited

    Mr. Marcus looked at Henry, then at Jessica, calmly picked up a magazine, casually flipped through it, and said, "There's nothing more to say!"She wanted to ask if Mr. Marcus was Old Mr. Alston's son or Old Mr. Lee's son.She always felt that Mr. Marcus bore some resemblance to Old Mr. Lee.But he didn't want to talk about it anymore, and she didn't want to force him. After all, it was not a pleasant memory. It was full of bitterness, humiliation, and hatred. Revealing someone's scars was not Jessica's style, especially Mr. Marcus's scars.Everyone has a scar on their heart, and no matter how close they are, they are not allowed to touch it.If he wanted to say it, she would listen. If he didn't, it didn't matter much. She was not a petty woman."Hey, are you so engrossed in it? Do you know what the magazine is about?" Jessica couldn't help but tease when she saw him so focused on the magazine. She didn't believe Mr. Marcus would be interested in all the gossip about him and Crystal

    "They saved me," said Saxon, with a cold laugh, "In fact, it was just a trap set by their brothers. They sent someone to ambush me while pretending to save me, successfully getting close to me. Their goal is the mafia, I'm not sure which faction they belong to.""You're really dumb," Camellia retorted. If it were Victor or Robin, this wouldn't have happened. Their core organization doesn't allow outsiders to invade easily, no matter how much trust there is.Saxon's defeat in just a few months was greatly influenced by his misjudgment of people."I admit defeat in this move," Saxon said solemnly. "Just go ahead and kill me."Camellia looked at him and smiled, "My dear brother, if I kill you, my nephew will come after me. Your life should be taken by his own hands, that's what you owe him."Desperate, Saxon closed his eyes and whispered, "Camellia, please fulfill my request, considering we're siblings.""Even if you may be my father, I won't fulfill your request," Camellia said firmly.

    There were only five people on the ship.Saxon stood alone on the deck, gazing intensely at the sea, his desire to kill growing stronger. To avoid accidents, he should kill her now. And when Mr. Marcus arrived, he could deliver the final blow.Just as he thought that, the ship stopped, and Saxon roared, "What's going on?""Oh, nothing much. They were tired, so I let them rest forever." A dark figure leaped effortlessly onto the deck, her long hair flowing and her black bodysuit accentuating her seductive figure, her eyebrows exuding absolute icy firmness.Saxon called out in disbelief, "Jessica, you..."She opened her mouth, moved her lips, spat out a voice changer, and tore off the mask on her face, revealing a stunningly alluring face in front of Saxon.He was greatly surprised, but she smiled enchantingly, "My dearest big brother, you could disguise as my Brother Marcus, so why can't I disguise as my brother-in-law?

    On the cruise ship out at sea.Jessica tried to move her wrist, but the handcuffs were tight, with long shackles on her feet, trailing chains on the ground, giving the room a particularly gloomy atmosphere. She smiled as she glanced around the room; it was actually quite a nice room, decorated luxuriously and comfortably. She thought to herself, that maybe if Saxon had tied her to the bed, she could have had a peaceful sleep.Her face was pale, breathing seemed a bit difficult, gasping continuously, yet she coldly laughed. Raising her hand, she knocked heavily on the cabin door. As expected, the door opened shortly after, and a tall figure appeared in the doorway, stepping inside.Blonde hair, blue eyes, with a menacing aura that seemed to suffocate, as if ready to destroy the entire world. Such a presence would make anyone feel scared.Jessica, however, smiled, appearing very calm with her usual smile, her gaze passing over him as she said, "Saxon, weren't you in Colombia planning to

    Marcus slammed the door shut, and pressed his hand against it, hands supporting the door, his gaze darkly fixed on her. Jessica tried to stay calm but felt her heart racing.She couldn't meet Mr. Marcus's eyes directly, so her gaze shifted, each movement making him breathe a bit harder. She calmly lowered her eyes, ready to listen to his scolding.For a while, Mr. Marcus didn't say a word, his imposing demeanor making Jessica nervous.Finally, Jessica blurted out, "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have lied to you, but you can't blame me for this. Henry asked why he didn't have a dad. I couldn't possibly tell him that you're the child of a one-night stand with a stranger, right? That would be devastating for the kid. So I had to come up with this cheesy love story. Who knew you actually got into an accident and lost your memory? Henry had already told you about the cheesy drama in advance, so I just went along with the flow. It was really just an accident, I swear.""You had plenty of chances t

    It was his mother's death anniversary that day, and feeling upset, Mr. Marcus went to the bar alone after visiting the grave. Someone approached him, but he turned them down. In such moments, he had no peace of mind, but little did he know that he would meet her.She got drunk and staggered. He hurried over to help her, but she mistook him for a money boy. He was furious, feeling his pride was hurt. He was enraged, knowing she came looking for a man, and he wanted to strangle her.In his rage, that anger turned into desire.Furthermore, knowing she had been drugged fueled his anger even more. He was angry at her, frustrated with her. He couldn't understand why he had such strong impulses towards a woman he hardly knew.Maybe it was the moment of palpitations at the beach or the moment of heart fluttering when she looked up at him as he held her.That night, he lost control.But who would have known that when he woke up the next day, there was a note at the head of his bed with $100 an

    On that day, Jessica flipped through the guest list for the wedding invitations and couldn't find Quincy's name. She raised an eyebrow and asked Henry, "How long has it been since you talked to Uncle Quincy?""Long time," Henry chuckled. "Mom, you also need to send invitations to the uncles and aunts on Grandpa's side. Why not send one to Uncle Quincy too?"Jessica nodded, hesitated for a moment, then decided to have Camellia drive her to meet Quincy at the park in front of the Lee Family's house.Michael Lee had been in the hospital for a while, feeling down ever since the case with Diana Brown. He had lost his former dominance and charisma; the once mighty business tycoon had fallen, his glory days long gone.Jessica felt sorry about the situation. If it weren't for what Michael Lee had done, she wouldn't have spoken so harshly that day. She only felt guilty towards Quincy.Quincy just smiled and didn't say much. There was a bit of awkwardness between them, not as warm as before, bu

    Herman shot her a look of anger, but Camellia wasn't afraid of him at all. The poor little brother, always overshadowed by his brother, how sad. Any woman who falls for him still has to compete with his brother for attention, it's really a special kind of frustration.He was angry, and in the past, he would have definitely closed the video, out of sight out of mind. But today was different, he just stared at Camellia intensively.Suddenly, Camellia was curious about something, "Herman, do you have a brotherly love obsession?"If he answered yes, it would be quite interesting. She felt chaotic just thinking about it. She and Rose had also been suspected of having a lesbian relationship, and now with a pair of brothers who seem to have a homosexual relationship. Wow!"What do you mean by a brotherly love obsession?" Herman questioned.Camellia replied with a mischievous tone, "It means you look at your brother and wonder if you want to pounce on him and violate him."Rose's face darkene

    After a while, there was no response from the other end.Camellia calculated the time—it was early morning in Colombia, so he shouldn't be so easily provoked to find a woman to solve his desire. Whether he understood sex was still a problem.She deliberately teased him and let him stew in anticipation."Uncle, it's been a while, and he hasn't responded," Henry said. "Maybe Herman has bled so much from his nose he passed out?"Rose chuckled. "Maybe he is having sex with a beauty."Rose nudged Camellia playfully. "Camellia, don't overdo it. You might regret it later."Camellia waved her hand, smiling without saying a word, then typed on the keyboard: "Herman, how's my figure?"After a while, there was some movement on the line, and unexpectedly, a naked picture of Herman was sent over. It was artistically shot, but his expressionless face still exuded a sinister air.Camellia, "..."Rose, "..."Henry covered his face and wailed, "Uncle-in-law, please consider the innocence of minors...

    "Are you happy?" Mr. Marcus released her swollen lips from their embrace, with a smile. Whether she was happy or not was his top concern.She nodded, extremely happy.She could cherish this moment for a lifetime."As long as you're happy, darling. Henry and Camellia will arrive the day after tomorrow. They'll stay until our wedding and honeymoon. You'll be even happier," Mr. Marcus said with a smile. In the afternoon, Henry had already informed him online that he and Camellia would arrive on different flights but on the same day."Really?" Jessica's face lit up with surprise, pouting, "Henry is biased. He told you, but not me. So unfair."Mr. Marcus chuckled, "I and he need to discuss some matters.""Hmph!" Miss Jessica pouted unhappily.Mr. Marcus smiled, holding her, feeling content.She suddenly thought of something, "If you went to such great lengths for a proposal, our wedding will be like...even more sensational?""You don't need to worry about that, just put on the wedding dres
