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
Saxon was tall and handsome, while Miss Jessica was pure and radiant. The scene of him holding her was truly captivating and picturesque, like a prince holding his princess.Passersby turned their heads, some even took out their cameras to snap pictures of them.Jessica deeply… regretted it!She felt like a monkey in a zoo, being observed and admired.A man so beautiful is truly tragic.Saxon gently placed Jessica on a bench in the park, put her cane aside, and let her sit comfortably. His actions were smooth and tender, as if he did this often."Thank you!" Jessica thanked him softly, smiling and looking down. She pinched her aching leg, feeling better, but still a bit painful. Walking was still a struggle."What happened to your leg?" Saxon sat beside her, showing no intention of leaving, and asked Jessica with a concerned tone."A car accident!" Jessica said softly. He was gentle and kind and had just helped her out. "It was probably just a cramp."In principle, all her weight was
"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? How about that, I think I nailed the act, right? Forgot to tell yo
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
