Chapter 211
Jessica was relieved that she had nabbed Zander first, but even more so at his displayed integrity and morals.
He had rejected Hugh because he had made a promise to Jessica. That was unparalleled tenacity.
No one else would have turned down an opportunity to work with a finance mogul.
“Thank you for believing in me. We will put a pin in the discussion of finding a venture capitalist. We will look at it again a little further down the line. Meanwhile, I’ll find a way to raise funds.”
A few minutes later, Jessica changed her attire and walked into a stock exchange center.
Everyone’s gaze was fixated on their screens. A low buzz of conversation filled the air as the traders talked with each other.
Jessica looked at the screens hanging above her head. Her eyes traveled across countless company names before zeroing in on an obscure one – Cloudlance Corporation.
If her memory served her well, this company’s stock price would fluctuate like a roller coaster within the next six months.
She had dabbled in stocks with her cousin, Yonah. She was not particularly interested in the stock market. Hence, she left her earnings under his management, and he promptly lost all of it.
She had never thought she would set foot into a stock exchange center, looking to play the stock market again. Jessica’s knowledge about Cloudlance Corporation came from Yonah. He was intrigued by everything finance, and they spent a lot of time in each other’s company. She had learned from him that Cloudlance Corporation was legendary in the stock market.
The company had a bizarre origin – it started with a stock value of thirty dollars. When the company went public, its share price plummeted to eight dollars. No one was willing to buy its stock.
One day, its share price rose to nine dollars, but no one paid attention to it. Then it soared to 20 dollars, with more buyers trading in the company’s stock. Everyone assumed the value would increase. However, it tanked the next day, wiping out several people’s life savings.
It dropped from more than 20 dollars to 7 dollars. There was a spike afterward, but no one dared to buy in anymore. It went up to 50 dollars. When buyers started trickling in again, the stock price plummeted two days later.
Later on, the company’s fluctuating stock prices raked in lots of money for some sharp-witted people. On the contrary, many people lost everything and went bankrupt. Coincidentally, Cloudlance Corporation’s first surge in its stock price will happen tomorrow.
Jessica decided to register a brokerage account, added all her savings, and invested them in Cloudlance’s stocks.
Just as she was about to confirm her trade requests, someone approached her and cautioned in a low voice,” This company’s stock isn’t any good. Although it’s cheap, when the prices drop, you will be tied up.”
Jessica’s gaze shot to the person next to her. He was a handsome man with a gentle voice and refined looks, giving an overall charming aura.
In her previous life, she was duped by his elegant looks and ended up in that situation.
Who knew she would meet Yonah, her good ol’ cousin, here in this life?
The man who lied to her for eight years and betrayed her.
Chapter 212
The person Jessica hated the most in this family was Yonah.
He was the only one who was kind to her. He was her redemption. Alas, he was also the one to betray her.
The knife of his betrayal sank deeper than what Whitney and the Larson family did.
Jessica’s fists clenched reflexively to stop herself from wrapping her hands around Yonah’s neck. She dragged her gaze away from him and continued finishing up her market orders.
Yonah noticed her ignoring his advice and frowned. “Don’t put all your eggs in one basket when it comes to buying stocks. It’s too risky. Best to spread it out across your portfolio,” he rattled on, oblivious to Jessica’s knitted brows. “I’ll give you some suggestions. Fraser Holdings’ stocks are performing well. It has been on a steady uptick, and it will continue holding for a period of time. If you buy in now and sell it a few days later, you’ll make a profit. As for this company, although it’s looking like the stock is in a slump, based on my observation, it will rise…”
“Are you quite done?” Jessica interjected coldly.
Yonah went still and was unsure how to react to her brusque tone.
“I’m sorry if I interfered,” Yonah apologized.
Jessica replied coldly, “If you knew you were interfering, then stop doing it.”
Yonah’s face reddened in chagrin. He didn’t know what overcame him. When he saw Jessica, he had felt the urge to talk to her.
Their raised voices attracted the attention of people nearby. They pointed openly at them and whispered in loud voices, embarrassing Yonah further.
With a hurried apology to Jessica, he beat a hasty retreat. After he had left, a senior trader said, “He’s an easygoing guy with no bad intentions. Don’t get so worked up, young lady.”
Jessica snorted at his words.
She had thought Yonah was different from the Larson and Quail family. Ultimately, he was still a sleazeball.
Jessica went back to school to prepare for an upcoming exam after leaving the stock exchange center. An electrifying air hung over the campus, and everyone was jabbering about something.
Samantha spotted Jessica and hollered at her to come over. She said excitedly, “Jess, Jack is coming to our campus to film a movie. Are you happy? Isn’t it amazing?”
“He is?” Jessica was nonplussed.
Daisy nodded enthusiastically. “Yes! Everyone is talking about it. It appears that they need a couple of extras on set. Many students have registered for it. Are you going to put your name down?”
“Huh? But we have exams soon,” Jessica reminded.
“Oh, I forgot to tell you that they’ll be coming after our exams.”
Realization dawned on Jessica. No wonder everyone was so excited.
“Places are limited. Let’s sign up first,” Daisy suggested. Samantha tittered, “I’ve already written down our names.” Daisy shot her a big thumbs up, but Jessica was silent.
Wasn’t it a little too late to make the decision for her before informing her?
The tension and stress of an impending exam completely dissipated following the advent of the school campus becoming Jack’s filming location. Everyone was hoping for the exams to be over to get a glimpse of their heartthrob.
Chapter 213
St. Daniel College was immediately teeming with Jack and his film crew after the exam week. Various departments were setting up for the shoot in full swing, and several actors were already getting their hair and makeup done.
“Why did the director choose to film here? There are plenty of schools in Marsingfill. Why do we have to travel to Horington?” an actress griped.
“I know, right? Although Horington is only two hours away from Marsingfill, it’s expensive and time-consuming for an entire crew to travel back and forth. This isn’t like Mr. Nolan at all.”
Another actress chimed in, “You guys don’t understand. This is an elite school with a hundred years of history. It fits the description of the school in the script.”
From everyone’s expression of realization, they were unaware that this suggestion had come from a certain man.
At that moment, Jack was in his trailer. The make-up artist was working on him while he was on his phone.
Jess, guess where I am now?
Jessica and the other extras were gathered inside a lecture hall. She looked down at Jack’s text and was silent for a long time.
No matter how she read it, the message still sounded childish.
Jessica thought for a minute before typing: I don’t know.
He should be happy to receive that three-word message, considering he wanted to surprise me. How thoughtful of me to act oblivious.
She didn’t know that when Jack received her text, he was scowling, and his mood instantly soured.
The make-up artist immediately noticed the abrupt shift in his mood and shot him a questioning glance. “Mr. Ferguson, is everything all right?”
“No!” Everything was not all right at all.
While the make-up artist was still scrambling for an appropriate reply, Jack asked, “If everyone knows about something, and someone doesn’t, what could that mean?”
The make-up artist thought for a moment. “It could mean the person is uninterested, or this matter doesn’t concern them at all, so they put it on the back burner.”
He realized Jack was pinning him with a look of incredulity and was flustered.
<Damn, was I wrong? If that weren’t the case, how could the person not know?> But he wisely held his tongue. Jessica thought Jack would shoot back a text quickly, but her phone did not buzz with any incoming messages. She reasoned that he might be too wrapped up with work.
A staff walked into the lecture hall and announced, “Filming is starting soon, so please hand in all your mobile phones for safekeeping before getting on set. They will be given back to you after filming is concluded.”
A wave of groans went through the students. Though unwilling, they still handed over their phones.
Jessica followed suit and left her phone in a box.
After struggling with himself for a long time, only then did Jack reply to her text: <Jess, I’m in your school now. Do you want to visit the set? I want to try some of your baked goods.>
He waited eagerly for a response, but the screen of his mobile phone stayed stubbornly unlit.
Jack frowned and turned toward Matthew. “Call my phone.”
“Why?” Matthew asked with a trace of wariness.
“I think my phone’s broken.”
Chapter 214
Matthew dialed Jack’s number. The next second, Jack’s phone on the table started buzzing.
“Nothing’s wrong with it.”
Jack picked up his phone and inspected it. Everything was fine with it, but he still had not received a single text.
Matthew observed his behavior and expression and realized he was anxiously waiting for a text. This did not bode well.
Matthew gave Jack’s assistant a look, and he quickly scooted over. “Mr. Ferguson, it’s almost time. You can leave your phone in my charge.”
Jack eyed his phone before tossing it to him. “Tell me if I have a message.”
The assistant nodded immediately.
Jessica and the extras were marshaled to the edge of the woods beside the square. A handful of actors were
standing under a tree holding scripts and running lines with each other.
The students were surveying their surroundings, curious about the details of a movie set.
Samantha did a turn and asked, “Where’s my man crush- Jack? I’m not seeing him anywhere.”
“He’s the lead actor. Of course, he would be the last to appear. He’s probably still in his recreational vehicle and would only be here when the cameras are ready to roll. You’d just have to wait.” Daisy seemed knowledgeable about the entertainment industry.
Jessica spotted the actresses in a tent nearby. “They look familiar.”
Daisy and Samantha looked in the direction of her gaze, but their appearance, beautiful as they were, did not ring any bells.
“They must be newly discovered actresses. I don’t know their names.”
“Jess, you didn’t know Jack, but you recognized them?” Samantha narrowed her eyes at Jessica and gave her a skeptical look.
Jessica let out a hollow laugh.
She was too careless and had forgotten about the time-lapse. Those two would become A-list actresses in the future.
If she, who never cared about the entertainment industry, would recognize both of them, it meant they had made it big.
The production assistant approached the students and said, “All the actors are here, so we’ll start filming soon. All of you would only have to amble around the square. Remember to never look at the actors and focus on walking. Understood?”
A chorus of scattered “yes” sounded.
“Few of you will walk on that pathway. Some of you go there. The three of you in blue, please walk here.” The production assistant pointed at Jessica, Samantha, and Daisy.
Three of them moved to the heart of the set and were very close to the actors. It was the prime spot to appear on camera.
“Ah, I’m a lucky girl. I could probably touch my man-crush from this position.” Samantha flushed in excitement.
“Look at you go.” Daisy was noticeably excited too, but she hid it better than Samantha.
Only Jessica was expressionless. <Jack seems like a good and funny person.>
If Matthew and Jack’s assistant were to hear her comment, they would splutter blood in anger.
Edith and her friends were miffed and envious that three of them were given a central spot.
“Next time I’ll ask Yonah to feature me as a cameo, then I’ll be on camera as well,” Edith grumbled.
“Forget about it. Can Yonah get Jack on set?” Xenia pointed out bluntly.
Edith deflated like a balloon.
Commotion swelled in the crowd. “Jack is here.”
Chapter 215
Everyone turned their attention to the man and woman on their front left.
“Wow! It’s my goddess – Jeanette!”
“She’s drop-dead gorgeous!”
“Jack is so handsome. He’s even better looking than on television.”
“They look so good together. How I wish they were a couple,” a chubby girl called Monica Hanks gushed.
However, she was immediately met with hostile gazes.
Monica shrunk away, not daring to utter anything else.
“Monica, that idiot. Is she blind? How could she think that a plastic surgery freak like Jeanette would be worthy of Jack?” Xenia said sarcastically.
Edith scoffed, “Well, you can’t blame it on her. She stuck to Yves like a leech even when he obviously hated her!” Speaking of Yves, Claudia said, “Jessica would still send Yves gifts lately. Whitney, you need to be more proactive. You can’t let him be snatched away by some other girl.”
Whitney shook her head. “If Jessica likes him, I don’t mind giving him up.”
Actually, Whitney had been in touch with Yves more often lately. Naturally, she would not let Jessica steal her fiancé. Edith was exasperated. “You really are something…”
“What kind of gifts did she send to Yves?” Whitney asked. “I’m not sure.”
Edith and the others only knew Jessica had been sending Yves gifts. However, they did not know what gifts they were. Everyone’s attention was focused on Jessica pursuing Yves anyway. Nobody would pay attention to what the gifts were. After all, they were from wealthy families, and any presents were equally the same to them.
Claudia, who rarely spoke, decided to participate in the conversation. “I saw it once. I think it was some kind of food. The packaging looked pretty.”
Edith burst out laughing. “Geez, did she believe the saying that cooking good food would win a man’s heart? Haha, she’s way too innocent!”
Whitney and her buddies covered their mouths while laughing.
That saying was a gimmick to trick innocent girls. All of them were from wealthy families and would only dine in five-star restaurants. So how could Jessica catch Yves’ heart with some amateur cooking?
Seeing Jack and Jeanette coming out, the production assistant smiled and walked toward them. “Ms. Winston, Mr. Ferguson, let’s go down first.”
Jack nodded his head.
Jeanette smiled. “Sure.”
When the staff left, Jeanette turned to look at her partner. Seeing his flawless side profile, Jeanette could not hide her admiration for him. “Jack, you look perfect wearing that school uniform. You definitely don’t look like someone who graduated some years ago.”
Jack wanted to answer when he saw Jessica in the corner of his eyes.
Remembering her last text message to him, he laughed silently.
This little girl knows how to surprise me.
When Jeanette noticed him smiling, she was distracted for a moment. She had only seen him smiling when he acted and never in private.
He was always poker-faced and silent. Although he was polite, it was as if there was a barrier around him, making him hard to get close to.
Following his gaze, Jeanette spotted the pretty lady immediately.
Chapter 216
The young lady had flawless skin, sharp features, and long black hair. Her demeanor was graceful and poised.
Even in the competitive entertainment industry, she would be considered a beauty.
Squinting her eyes, Jeanette remained silent as if she did not see his unusual behavior. “Jack?”
Pulling himself back to reality, Jack answered in a good mood, “Well, I’m still considered a university student at my age.”
Stunned, Jeanette covered her mouth and chuckled. “That’s right. I almost forgot you’re a genius and had graduated early.”
Although Jack had graduated early from university with a double degree, he was only twenty-two years old. However, many overlooked his age as he was so talented.
The duo then walked to the center of the set. Jack would sometimes wink at Jessica, and the latter would return a smile at him playfully.
This little girl is too much!
Jack muttered in his heart, a smile creeping up his lips.
Perhaps the others did not notice their interaction, but Jeanette furrowed her eyebrows when she saw that.
“Mr. Ferguson, Ms. Winston,” greeted Chloe Kidman and Helen Robbie, the supporting actresses. They left immediately after that.
The duo were fresh graduates. When they got to know they would be acting with Jack, both of them were excited. However, they decided to stay away after learning about a female actress getting fired after chumming up with Jack.
Jeanette replied to them gently while Jack simply nodded. “Let’s start blocking the scene.
The actors started to run through the scene’s dialogue and actions, whereas the extras tried to cooperate with them.
After running through it twice, Jeanette’s assistant walked toward the director and said smilingly, “Mr. Nolan, those three ladies are too close to Jeanette and will affect her performance. Can you place them somewhere else?”
Joel observed the three ladies through the monitor. All of them were good-looking, especially the one standing in the middle, who looked a bit like Jack.
The lady standing in the middle was very photogenic. When she stood next to Jeanette, it was apparent she overshone the latter.
Instantly, Joel understood why Jeanette thought the three were bothersome.
After Joel notified his assistant, the latter immediately informed the production assistant.
“So this is how they filmed.” Daisy felt bored after the excitement faded away.
“Jack is so dreamy.” Samantha was head over heels for him.
“Later on, I want to get Jack’s autograph.”
At that moment, the production assistant walked up to them. “You three, don’t stand here. Go over there instead.”
Then, he pointed to a spot furthest away from them.
Samantha snapped back to reality. “Why?” She was unwilling to move.
Daisy asked exasperatedly, “Is there something wrong with us standing here?”
The production assistant replied impatiently, “Cut the nonsense and just move when I ask you to.”
His arrogant attitude made Samantha explode in anger.
“If you don’t give me a reason, I won’t leave.” Samantha glared at him.
Their argument attracted everyone’s attention.
Jack was rehearsing his lines with Jeanette when he heard the noise. Turning around, he saw the production assistant was in dispute with Jessica and the other two girls.
Chapter 217
Jeanette cast a glance at Jack and said smilingly, “Jack, let’s continue rehearsing.”
Jack shoved the script into his assistant’s hands and walked toward the commotion.
The production assistant was humiliated as it was his first time being questioned by the extras. He threatened, “Aren’t you afraid of being kicked out of the film crew?”
Samantha laughed. “You can try.”
“You three, get out right now! Don’t even think of getting your salary,” the production assistant yelled.
When the students around them heard that, they shook their heads pitifully.
Somebody’s in trouble!
In St. Daniel College, there were four notorious students everyone knew not to provoke.
Firstly, Jessica. After seeing how she fought, no one dared to go near her.
Following her would be Xander, Yves, and Samantha.
Unfortunately, the production assistant had offended two of them at the same time.
Jack walked up to them. “Well, aren’t you being overbearing?”
When the production assistant saw him, the former immediately wailed, “Mr. Ferguson, it’s not that I want to chase them out. The three of them are disobeying the rules. How can I tolerate that? If I let them be, the others might follow them, and the entire film crew will be a mess!”
“You’re right.” Jack nodded.
When Samantha saw him agreeing with the production assistant, she felt dejected.
It was the production assistant who targeted us in the first place! We have eyes, so how can we not notice that?
“What do you mean by that? The production assistant is the one targeting us. We were standing here when he suddenly swooped in and asked us to stand further away. He got annoyed when I asked for an explanation. Geez, do you think we’re dumb not to notice he was singling us out?” Samantha roared angrily.
Jack raised his eyebrows. “Oh? Is there anything wrong with them standing here?”
“T-They will block the other actors if they stand here,” the production assistant answered awkwardly.
That excuse might have been accepted by amateurs who knew nothing about filming. However, an actor could see through his lie right away, as it was obvious that one was blocking the camera.
Jack laughed coldly. “Tom, settle his final salary.”
The treasurer, Tom Hopkins was startled.
Joel, Jeanette, and some others rushed over.
Joel immediately calmed them down. “Wilson is in the wrong here for having a bad attitude and upsetting the three ladies. After he apologizes to them, let’s put this issue aside and come to a compromise.”
Jeanette added, “Jack, Wilson may have gotten the wrong person. It’s normal for us to make mistakes. Don’t pay him any heed.”
Jack turned to look at Joel, and Jeanette and finally laid his gaze on Wilson. “Is there a need for the film crew to keep such a dishonest person?”
Wilson’s face paled.
After all, not a single film crew would hire him after knowing Jack had fired him. It would be the end of his career in that industry.
Wilson stared at Samantha and her buddies beggingly. When Samantha saw his face, she felt her anger dissipating and could not look at him in the face.
Suddenly, Jessica shrugged. “Forget it.”
Wilson is just a scapegoat. He wasn’t in the wrong; he just had a bad attitude. I don’t want Jack to be put in a difficult position. If Wilson continues to be so arrogant, someone else will naturally teach him a lesson. There’s no need to tarnish Jack’s image because of him.
Chapter 218
As Jessica showed Wilson mercy, he was not fired, and the filming continued.
During the break, Matthew handed Joel a coffee and
smiled, “The daughter of the Young family is quite photogenic.”
Joel was shocked. “The Young family?”
Matthew answered smilingly, “That’s right. The Young family of Dellmoor.”
“Which one are you talking about?” Joel had a bad feeling.
Matthew pointed at Samantha. “She’s the one I’m talking about. The young lady has quite the temper.”
Joel and the staff members turned pale when they heard that, especially Jeanette’s assistant.
Matthew patted Joel’s assistant. “They’re not normal extras, you know.”
It was evident what he was trying to say.
The film crew could not afford to mess with those girls.
The staff knew they were students of St. Daniel College. However, they did not expect them to come from such prestigious families.
Joel smiled. “I almost forgot. Thank you for your reminder. Anthony, go and tell them to stop ordering the students around.”
The assistant director – Anthony Brando, nodded and hurried off.
After Matthew saw their reactions, he naturally backed off.
However, he did not know Joel thought further than anyone else.
Even though Wilson knew the extras were students from an elite university, he disrespected them and caused a big fiasco. If those students hadn’t let it slide, we would have been done for. I can never let this happen. Someone as cocky as Wilson cannot stay here. He has to leave.
They had to film for three days on campus. So the students were exhausted after the filming ended at a late hour on the first day.
“We’re done. Let’s wrap it up.”
On the second day of filming, Wilson was nowhere to be seen. The entire film crew knew the director had fired him.
In the afternoon, a group of people were resting under the shade of a tree.
Edith walked over to Jessica and her buddies and said sarcastically, “You really are two-faced.”
“What do you mean by that?”
Edith laughed coldly. “I don’t mean anything by it. I’m just stating a fact. Didn’t you say you forgave him yesterday in front of everyone? Yet that guy still lost his job. Is it necessary to fire him just because he scolded you?”
“What are you spouting about? When did we ever make him lose his job? The film crew was obviously the one that fired him. It has nothing to do with us.”
“Nothing to do with you? Didn’t he get fired because of all of you?” Edith scoffed.
Samantha was furious at her reasoning.
“Wasn’t he the one who provoked us first? If he didn’t behave that way, nothing would have happened.”
Edith gave a cold snort and turned away.
“Why is she like that?” Samantha muttered angrily.
“She’s just making us mad. If we get mad, then she’ll be entertained,” Jessica answered calmly.
Upon hearing that, Samantha and Daisy felt their anger vanishing.
“There is no way I will fall for her trap!”
Daisy nodded to agree.
Meanwhile, Wilson walked into the film set. The staff threw a pitiful look at him, but no one was dumb enough to side with him.
Looking around, Wilson fixed his gaze on Jack and walked closer to him. Then, he took out a knife and lunged toward Jack.
Blinded by the knife’s reflection, Jessica caught sight of it. Seeing it was headed toward Jack, she yelled nervously, “Watch out!”
Chapter 219
Everyone turned to Jack upon hearing that. They were shocked when they saw Wilson aiming for Jack’s chest with a sharp knife.
Wilson was quick with his moves. As a result, Jack couldn’t avoid him.
Jack immediately grabbed the knife with his bare hand, and his palm started bleeding.
Before Matthew and the rest returned to their senses, Jessica was the first to react. She ran toward Wilson and kicked him away. As a result, he fell to the ground.
As soon as Jessica kneeled on his back, she grabbed his hands behind him, making him unable to move.
Everything happened too quickly. All the staff only came back to their senses when Jessica shouted at them.
“Come and help restrain him.”
When Joel returned to his senses, he angrily shouted, “What are you all waiting for? Go over and assist her!”
Those staff immediately ran toward Jessica and grabbed hold of the former production assistant, Wilson.
Daisy and the rest were shocked to see how fast Jessica had reacted to the situation.
Jessica walked toward Jack and asked, “How’s your hand?”
Jack opened his hand, and there was a deep cut on his palm. It kept bleeding non-stop.
Matthew was shocked and angry upon seeing his wound. He shouted, “Bring over the first aid kit.”
Joel was worried about Jack too. “Call the ambulance now!”
Matthew gave Wilson a death stare. He didn’t question Wilson at that time, but that didn’t mean he would let him off.
He was mad as that was the first time Jack had been badly injured since they worked together.
“Oh my goodness! It is a deep cut!” Jeanette shouted. She looked worried and scared. “I’m worried that it will leave a scar on you if it’s not treated properly.”
The doctor hired by the film crew ran toward Jack with the first aid kit. He then quickly cleaned Jack’s wound with antiseptic and covered his wound with a bandage to stop the bleeding.
“It is a deep cut, so he must go to the hospital now. If his hand’s tendons and nerves are damaged, it will lead to further complications in the long run. We shouldn’t wait for the ambulance. We should send him to the hospital now.”
“No!” Jessica suddenly shouted.
The rest of them stared at her in confusion.
She added, “Young Heart Child Care Center is somewhere between here and the hospital. Classes are almost ending, so there will be a lot of parents picking up their children along this road. I believe there will be a traffic jam.”
“So what should we do now? We can’t delay his treatment. If we send him to the hospital late, who is going to bear the consequences if he is left with chronic complications?”
“Get me a motorcycle or electric scooter! I will send him to the hospital! I know there is a shortcut which will save us a lot of time,” Jessica replied calmly.
Matthew nodded. “Alright, please take care of Jack. You two go to the hospital first, and we will try to get there as soon as possible.”
Jack, who everyone protected, didn’t have the chance to interrupt them. He just stayed quiet and allowed them to arrange everything for him.
Jack felt happy when he saw how Jessica was worried about him. However, he didn’t want her to be overly worried about him either. That was why he said, “Actually, it isn’t that bad. Please don’t be too worried.”
The crowd stared at him with a stern expression upon hearing that. They seemed to disagree with him.
Jack shrugged his shoulders helplessly and allowed the rest to make the necessary arrangements for him.
The rest of them stared at her in confusion.
She added, “Young Heart Child Care Center is somewhere between here and the hospital. Classes are almost ending, so there will be a lot of parents picking up their children along this road. I believe there will be a traffic jam.”
“So what should we do now? We can’t delay his treatment. If we send him to the hospital late, who is going to bear the consequences if he is left with chronic complications?”

The crowd stared at him with a stern expression upon hearing that. They seemed to disagree with him.
Jack shrugged his shoulders helplessly and allowed the rest to make the necessary arrangements for him.
The staff members then quickly arranged a motorcycle for Jessica. She then put on a helmet each for herself and Jack. Shortly after, she rode the motorcycle together with Jack and headed to the hospital.
Chapter 220
Jeanette stared at their backs and murmured, “I’m still worried about Jack. Joel, can I follow them to the hospital?”
It was impossible to continue the shooting on that day after what had happened.
Joel waved his hand.
Jeanette immediately thanked Joel and left the place together with her assistant.
When Jeanette and her assistant were heading to their car, they walked past Wilson. A moment later, Jeanette turned around and walked toward that man.
She then scolded Wilson angrily, “Wilson, how can you do that to Jack? You can always look for a new job after being fired! Why did you attack Jack? What would you get in return if you managed to kill Jack?”
Wilson was mad upon being lectured by Jeanette. “Shut up! If you didn’t find those three girls annoying and instruct the director to ask them to leave, I wouldn’t be fired!”
Wilson attacked Jack instead of Jeanette because he felt the director dismissed him for the sake of Jack and that they were all afraid of him.
Hence, he wanted to seek revenge on Jack.
….
Jeanette’s face darkened upon hearing that. She noticed people around her were staring at her. She then shouted angrily, “That’s nonsense! I have never done that before!”
She regretted approaching Wilson and lecturing him.
Initially, she did that to let everyone know she cared about Jack. Most importantly, she wanted Jack to find out her feelings for him.
Jeanette’s assistant quickly said, “Jeanette, we should stop arguing with him. He is just a mad dog that barks at everyone! We should stay away from this murderer!”
Jeanette nodded. She then glanced at Wilson in disdain.
Wilson could no longer hold back his anger after hearing them calling him a mad dog and a murderer.
He suddenly freed himself from the rope, picked up a fruit knife, and ran toward Jeanette.
Someone noticed that and screamed, “Watch out!”
When Jeanette and her assistant heard that and turned around, they saw Wilson approaching them with a knife.
They both were frightened by him and they were frozen on the spot.
Slash!
Jeanette looked down and saw that Wilson had stabbed her abdomen with the knife. Her eyes widened as she stared at him in disbelief.
“Go to hell, bitch!” Wilson’s eyes reddened at that moment.
“Restrain him quickly! Someone, please save Jeanette!” Joel shouted.
Wilson ran away before the staff arrived. Jeanette was bleeding heavily as her assistant held her arms to support her.
It was a chaotic scene.
All the students of St. Daniel College had never encountered a similar incident. They were all shell-shocked.
“It’s so scary to work in the entertainment industry,” Xenia murmured.
“Initially, I wanted to try working in the entertainment industry. However, I’ve changed my mind now! Safety is more important!” Edith said while looking pale.
The ambulance arrived around twenty minutes later, and Jeanette was rushed to the hospital.
Meanwhile, Jessica rode the motorcycle at high speed.
When they arrived at the hospital, Jessica quickly got down from the motorcycle and removed her helmet. She then immediately stopped Jack from removing his. “Don’t
remove your helmet! You won’t be able to leave this place if you remove it now.”
