Henry began to think about what Jack had said, which also made sense to him. This is not much different from him trying to get Jessica to sell herself to him voluntarily. At this point, Henry rubbed the cigarette in his hand into the ashtray, then said:"That makes sense…" But just as Henry was about to say something more, Jack's phone suddenly rang. Therefore, the word was also cut off from there. Jack reached out his hand to Henry, motioned him to wait a moment, then took out his phone.The one called the Butler Giz?A line of thoughts crossed Jack's head; what did he call you for? Did something happen at home? Or has something terrible happened to Jack's head?Jack brought those doubts to answer the phone; of course, in his heart, he couldn't help but roll up cold air because he had just done a bad thing, feeling insecure and guilty, fear of being discovered naturally.But when Jack heard what the butler Giz said, his face immediately turned white; he eagerly stood up then said:"O
"No one side; my car lost control and hit a pole rather than anyone, and you should be lucky for that!"Jack's defenses made Mrs. Locke increasingly angry. And that also makes Jack increasingly reveal the flaws in his words.As it is now, the more Jack said, the more wrong he was. And it was Mrs. Locke's words that smacked him in the face, and he froze, cold sweat pouring out like a bath."Grandma…""Jack, I told you, if you can't figure out where you're going wrong, go home and think until it's clear. You know what I mean?"Mrs. Locke continued to speak coldly, her eyes now sharp as knives, looking at Jack as if she wanted to lock him in there, giving him no chance to protest."Grandma, that's not it; the showroom must have deceived me; they sold me fake goods; I will handle this case!"Jack tried to make excuses, he knew that Mrs. Locke had always trusted him unconditionally, and whenever he did something wrong, as long as he tried to beg and apologize, Mrs. Locke was confident he w
"Yes, of course."Jack laughed, and he also knew that even though Mrs. Locke said that on the outside, his heart had already calmed down; his job now was to act very well, not to make any more mistakes.And Jack needs to be more stupid to no man ever steps in the same river twice, for it's not the same river, and he's not the same man. By this time, it was also lunchtime; Jack said:"Are you hungry? Now I'm going to go buy your favorites for you."Jack stood up.As soon as he came out of the hospital room, he couldn't stand any more; it was horrible; Jack felt like he was in an elevator with a broken cable, a roller coaster slipped off the tracks, a car lost control… All in all, damn it.He punched the wall hard; he had to find the guy who sold the car to him.But first, let's buy some food, or if Mrs. Locke gets angry again, then build something on the sand.Jack exasperatedly walked along the hospital corridor to the elevator when his eyes suddenly froze at this moment, and the wand
Bettie's words rang out just as Alex picked up the phone, and the words fell right into his ears.Alex froze, his whole body as if someone had injected a potent anesthetic. Then, Alex's lap began to roll up a stream of cold air from within."What? Jowley, you give Bettie the phone."On this side, Jowley, after hearing half the story from Bettie, and half the attitude from Alex, also guessed what was going on and felt the importance of the problem. Although he didn't know who Jessica was, it was not someone from the Forest Corporation.Jowley passed the phone to Bettie.Seizing the opportunity, Alex immediately asked:"Bettie, what you said earlier, can you try to repeat it?"After all, Bettie was not one to lie often, and she did not have this experience, so now, when facing Alex directly, she couldn't help but tremble a little and lose her temper. But Bettie reminded herself she couldn't kick her foot with a rock. We have gone too far to draw back; Bettie hid her panic inside, then p
Alex stood up, then followed Jowley to the car. Jowley was always standing by his side, helping him, as if he was afraid Alex would fall off at any moment."Chairman, shall we go to Anderw's house now?"In the car, Jowley asked."No, go to the Locke Corporation first."As Alex speculated, Jessica must be working at Locke Corporation right now. Besides, deep in his heart, he wanted the same because he didn't want to go to Jessica's house right now; there, if he had met Mrs. Andrew, it would be even more troublesome. Alex didn't want to see her again.The car rolls on the road. Since it is not rush hour, the road is very open. Less than thirty minutes later, the car stopped at the entrance of the Locke Corporation."Chairman, wait here for me; I'll go in and arrange an appointment with Miss Jessica first.""YES."Alex also feels that it is reasonable, no matter how his legs are now, not convenient to walk, how limited, or how. And he doesn't appear in public.Jowley handled everything v
Alex cut off Mrs. Andrew's words directly, not wanting to hear any more of her redundant words.Mrs. Andrew was stunned; perhaps Alex had never been so cold to her in the past, so she was not used to it for a while. But very quickly, Mrs. Andrew regained her "wisdom"; perhaps she succeeded, maybe Alex heard that Jessica was sick, or somehow Alex knew. Okay, and see Jessica. All in all, Mrs. Andrew feels she has been a resounding success."Ah, Jessica, she's sick; she's in her room...""Sick?" Alex frowned, though he needed to determine whether this information was true or false. But right now, the most urgent thing is to wait to validate it. Alex directly pushed Mrs. Andrew away, then rushed to the second floor."Jowley, hold her back."Jowley obeyed, and Mrs. Andrew screamed and struggled like a fish caught in a net. Meanwhile, Alex quickly reached Jessica's room; he reached out to turn the doorknob but found the door locked.The door was locked, which was not a good thing, and Alex
Mrs. Andrew, of course, didn't want to go to a nursing home, and she certainly couldn't go there; she had a lot of work to do and a lot of unfinished plans. A nursing home is no different from a prison, or in other words, a grave for older people, Mrs. Andrew thought. In it, the days go by highly dully; there is no casino, no trendy shops, can't spend money, can't eat delicious food, can't watch the things she likes. And Mrs. Andrew said that was the torment and torment of older people. No, she's not old, either. Mrs. Andrew thought so and was highly displeased."Jessica, you are a traitor; you are an unfilial one. You want to put me in a nursing home so you don't have to worry, so you can bring men home and do whatever you want without anyone taking care of you!? I won't go in there; even if I die, I won't!"Jessica was too lazy to argue with her grandmother. And this also surprised Alex momentarily because she had never been so fierce with Mrs. Andrew. Until now, Jessica, in his eye
Mr. Andrew carried a load of vegetables, meat, and food. When he saw Mrs. Andrew suddenly rushing out and bumping into him like that, he was surprised:"Where are you going? Why are you in such a hurry?"But now Mrs. Andrew was not in the mood to scold or argue with Mr. Andrew; she hurried to get up and wanted to continue running, but it was too late now for the people behind her to chase and arrest her.o0oAlex's house,Jowley has been gone for a long time, and Bettie has been restless ever since.Did something happen, she wondered. She picked up the phone, wanted to call Alex, but didn't dare. What could she say to him? Would she say that she took the file and blamed Jessica?Bettie didn't want to.She entered the room, opened the wardrobe, and rummaged inside, and after a while of searching, Bettie finally pulled out a file.Luckily, she didn't burn it or turn it away.Or should she take it to Alex's hospital now and secretly put it outside? That way, you won't even know who it is
