The next day, after Marcus and Henry left the house, Jessica also went downstairs with her crutches. She was about to have breakfast when she received a call from Grace. "Jessica, turn on the TV right away!"Her voice sounded urgent, and Jessica was surprised as she turned on the TV...Her face instantly turned pale!Almost all the local TV stations were broadcasting a news report: Miss Crystal attempted suicide by slashing her wrists at home last night and was rushed to the hospital, her life hanging in the balance!The news of Miss Crystal's suicide spread like wildfire and quickly spread throughout the entire city of W.When Marcus arrived at Noblefull Group, Susan showed him the morning newspaper. Susan nervously said, "Mr. Marcus, Old Mr. Alston wants you to go to the hospital to see Miss Crystal!"Marcus furrowed his eyebrows tightly, his gaze unusually cold, and the veins on the back of his hand swelled. The aura emanating from him made Susan tremble in fear!She realized in fe
Downstairs came the sound of bangs, indicating that it had almost been destroyed. Jessica was furious and frustrated, craving snake soup. She loved this house so much, and now it had been ravaged like this...No, this was not the time for such thoughts!Find the firearms!Mr. Marcus said they were there, they had to be!There was a pounding impact on the door. Jessica's hand trembled, and the drawer almost fell out. Her face turned pale in shock. It was the closest she had ever felt to death.Frantically, she went through each drawer one by one. Suddenly, there came a loud crash.Bang! The entire door was smashed open by the python, wood splinters flying. Its round, bulging eyes locked onto Jessica, as if saying, "Where do you think you can escape?"It slowly slithered inside, and Jessica fiercely smashed the drawers in her hand. "Die!"The tail of the python wrapped around, smashing the drawer against the wall. The massive LCD screen was rendered useless, and shattered glass covered
Jessica was sent to the hospital, and Marcus accompanied her all the way. Two police officers followed to take their statements, while Henry stayed at the scene for investigation.When Jessica called Marcus, he quickly notified Henry to come home, so he arrived just in time.Henry sat in Marcus' car and took out his handheld computer from his backpack. He had three computers - a desktop, a laptop, and this miniature solar-powered handheld computer that he had assembled himself. It was small in size but highly functional.Amid the chaos, no one would pay attention to this little boy. He took the surveillance footage and only his father would come up with the rest.To be cautious, he took all the footage from the monitors for that period.After finishing, he closed the computer, got out of the car, and hailed a taxi to the hospital.When Henry arrived at the hospital, Mr. Marcus had already given his statement, and the two police officers had left."Daddy, what did you say?" Henry asked
With a ruthless kick, Marcus threw open Crystal's room door. He entered the room exuding a cold and menacing aura, his icy gaze piercing.Inside the room, Crystal and Old Mr. Walker were watching the news. LN International Media quickly reported the news about the python and the villa explosion.Seeing Marcus's arrival, Crystal hurriedly turned off the television, a look of surprise on her face. Her pale face blushed with excitement. "Marcus, did you come to see me?""Indeed, I've come to see you!" Marcus's cold voice suddenly became disgustingly gentle. The smile on his face resembled that of a devil, terrifying anyone who saw it.Crystal's eyes welled up with tears, her face filled with pain. "I thought you heartlessly refused to come and see me, Marcus. I'm so happy to see you. You still care about me, don't you?""Of course, I care about you!" Marcus's face was cold as he slowly walked towards the hospital bed.Old Mr. Walker thought that the two young people would reconcile, so h
Jessica couldn't help but feel that she and this hospital were destined to have some kind of connection.Within a month, she had been admitted twice, and both times were miserable because of Marcus."Baby, I feel like I'm at odds with W City." Jessica ate the apple puree Henry made for her, expressing her thoughts on her hospital stay. Although her complexion was excessively pale, her spirits seemed to be quite good."I agree!" Henry smiled and handed her the morning newspaper. "Mommy, you've become a female superhero!"Jessica glanced at it and was speechless. It was just her story of killing the python, it didn't seem worthy of such publicity. The audience must be too lonely and in need of some fresh entertainment.Female superhero, hmm, it was not a bad title.However, the female superhero shouldn't have nightmares about being bitten by a terrifying creature like she did last night. She saw the creature lunging at her head, and she even saw her head getting bitten off, blood splatt
Henry narrowed his eyes dangerously and said coldly, "Miss Crystal, when you conspired with your father to harm my mommy, did you ever think about the consequences? Now you're scared? Let me tell you, it's too late!"Little Henry's voice was young but chilling. Without Marcus around, he was Jessica's little guardian. He wouldn't let this annoying woman harm his mommy again.Jessica understood and wasn't too surprised. So the python was set loose by them, as she had expected.But what had Marcus done? Seek revenge on the Walker family?How did he take revenge? To the point where Crystal had to humiliate herself and beg Jessica. It seemed serious.Ignoring Henry, Crystal held Jessica's hand and pleaded, "Miss Jessica, it was my fault. I hurt you, I apologize. Please, ask Marcus to stop. I promise I won't appear in front of you and Marcus again. I won't disturb you anymore.""What has Mr. Marcus done?" Jessica asked calmly."You don't know?" Crystal's voice suddenly became high-pitched a
Crystal had a sinister look on her face. She had put aside her pride to ask for help, but she couldn't move Jessica even a bit. How hardened was this woman's heart?"You really won't help me?" Crystal asked in frustration."It has nothing to do with me!" Miss Jessica said with a faint smile. The smile on her face seemed gentle, but her words were cold and serious, devoid of any tenderness.April calmly approached, crossed her arms, raised an eyebrow, and smiled softly, taking on a protective stance.There was a dangerous aura around her even Crystal could sense. She was not someone to be messed with. Did Marcus send someone to protect Jessica? That must be a killer from the Ghost Gang, and it was better not to provoke them. It would be like hitting a stone with an egg, there was no doubt it would end in defeat."Jessica, I will curse you, curse you and Marcus, and you will never find happiness in your life!" Miss Crystal became infuriated, yelling with intense hatred burning in her ey
Quincy's face remained calm, warm, and gentle, with the familiar tolerance and indulgence in his brow. Even his smile was as clear and refreshing as usual, as if the confrontation between him and Mr. Marcus in the business world didn't exist."You were hospitalized, so naturally, I had to come and see you!" Quincy placed the bouquet in a vase, smiled warmly, and joked, "I read the newspaper, Jessica, you never fail to amaze me. You're truly incredible!""Grace also calls me Lady Ultraman!" Jessica smiled and glanced at the blooming lilies. She said, "Thank you, Quincy. The flowers are beautiful!"Quincy pulled a chair and sat in front of her, looking deep into Jessica's eyes. He said softly, "You're injured again!"Jessica shrugged nonchalantly. "They're just some minor wounds. I'll be discharged in a couple of days!"She felt a certain distance between them, not as close as before. Jessica recalled Grace's words; she shouldn't expect men and women to truly become dear friends.Her ey
