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
Mr. Marcus raised the corners of his lips in a smirk. "This is the business world, well said, Quincy. Bring it on, I'm not afraid of you!"Quincy showcased his signature gentle smile. "Mr. Marcus, don't merely rely on words. Speak for yourself with your abilities!""You two are really destined rivals!" Mr. Marcus pushed the door open and entered. Jessica's eyes twitched, starting to doubt that they didn't have some murky connection between them. Twice already, they coincidentally bumped into each other like this.Mr. Marcus neither came too early nor too late, choosing the same time as Quincy to come. It's truly... a fated feud!They probably had another confrontation at the ward door."What did he come here for?" Mr. Marcus asked coldly, his gaze falling on the beautiful bouquet of lilies. He hooked the corner of his lips, his voice a mixture of ambiguity. "Oh, that guy, such a romantic prince charming, knowing all about romance."His voice, peculiar as it was, seemed like that of a
Mr. Marcus glared at her fiercely, thinking that this woman really didn't understand romance. She had spoiled even the slightest romantic atmosphere. She was a master of ruining romance. He thought that recently he must have been sleep-deprived and unfocused, which was why he accidentally developed feelings for this woman.Conniving, sharp-tongued, lustful, and driven by money. Could she be considered typical lust and greed?Jessica trembled as she looked at the large bouquet of red roses, her lips twitching a few times. Mr. Marcus needed proper education. Money shouldn't be spent like this. One hundred thousand for a bouquet of roses was an incredibly high cost for pursuing a girl.Mr. Marcus sat heavily on the hospital bed and grabbed her arm, examining it. The wounds were all superficial and had healed almost completely after several days of care, though some deeper wounds still looked quite terrifying. The rest of the wounds had stopped bleeding."Hey, be gentle!" Jessica teased.
"You've been fighting with him for so many years. You should know him well. Do you think he has any reason to act now?" Jessica calmly analyzed, "The Walker Family Group and the Gootal Group are completely unrelated, he doesn't need to do this. Do you really believe what Quincy said, that this is just business, and he deliberately formed an alliance with the Walker Family Group to bring down the Noblefull Group?"Mr. Marcus gave a cold smile. "Bringing down the Noblefull Group has always been the Lee Family's goal, isn't it?""Although that's true, I still think something is off. Hey, don't be so biased against him. Use your brain!" Jessica patted Mr. Marcus on the head. "This is not a joke.""So what if I'm biased against him?" Mr. Marcus confidently shouted back, showing his dominance. He didn't need anyone questioning him.Jessica fell silent.What a temper!"Oh, so you continue to be biased. Can you resist the Walker Family Group and the Gootal Group joining forces? Don't end up l
It was a protracted battle between Noblefull Group and Gootal Group!According to Jessica's analysis of the situation, she predicted that within one week, one side would be at a disadvantage. Then, the previously evenly matched stalemate would be broken, with one side losing momentum and gradually retreating. Unless they found a more powerful ally to salvage the situation, they would certainly be rapidly disintegrated and engulfed by the other side.However, a week passed, and the two sides were still evenly matched, neither of them taking a step back.They were engaged in a strange kind of standoff!The crisis of the Walker Family had been resolved, with the support of Gootal Group. Although the Walker Family Group was severely weakened, they still had a relatively complete management system, a healthy operating system, and abundant sources of funding. It was not a problem for them to gradually recover.Now, it was mainly the battle between Noblefull Group and Gootal Group, and it wa
Jessica returned home and encountered a very unfortunate incident - she had forgotten to bring her keys!The apartment originally had two keys, one carried by Henry and the other by her. However, since she was in the hospital and Mr. Marcus moved in, he took her key.Since Jessica and Mr. Marcus commuted together for work, it didn't matter who had the key. Besides, Henry always came back earlier than them, so the key was practically useless.But today, Mr. Marcus and Susan had an important meeting regarding a capital increase, so they left early. Jessica, who had flexible working hours due to her leg injury, left work early as well. As a result, she found herself frustrated and trapped outside the door.Checking her watch, she realized that Little Henry wouldn't be back for another hour. Jessica, leaning on her crutches, couldn't bear to wait by the door for an hour with only one leg. It would surely be exhausting.She walked out of the neighborhood and crossed the road to a park, sol
