Obsessed With Her Novel by Master Momo (Chapters 301, 302, 303, 304, 305, 306, 307, 308, 309, 310)    

Chapter 301

“Just like what our ancestors have always said, one should marry a highly capable and virtuous wife.”

The Larson family was in a muddle now, and yet they continued to fight amongst themselves.

That showed how incapable the lady of the house was.

“The children bred from the Quail family are mediocre,” someone beside him teased.

“I thought the Youngs or the Fergusons would have lent their help at least. When James called Charles his son-in-law previously, I thought they had a close relationship. It seems like I’ve misunderstood. Well, I guess we will never understand what the prominent families are thinking.”

“I misunderstood too. Let me share with you a secret. The Young family had declared that they want the incident to be settled fair and square.”

Everyone instantly understood what that was supposed to mean.

“I wanted to help at first, but it seems like he’s on his own now,” one of the company directors said perfunctorily.

The other director chimed in, “I agree with you.”

They both exchanged a meaningful look.

Meanwhile, in the detention center, Tyrone led the lawyer to the room where James was held.

“Mr. Larson, we’ve met Charles,” Tyrone shook his head as he said.

Before Tyrone and the lawyer came, James could already feel the changes in attitude from the surrounding people. They were polite to him before the incident, but now they were faintly aloof.

James turned to look at the lawyer that Tyrone hired to defend him, Robin Dawson.

Robin said to him, “Mr. Larson, this incident is basically carved in stone, and it has a great impact on society. There’s no way we can win this lawsuit. As the company director, you’ll have to bear the responsibility of your subordinates not reporting to the authorities about the headstone. However, that should be your secondary responsibility.”

In the last sentence, Robin had told James the most logical way to get out of the lawsuit.

James agreed and ordered, “Yes, of course. You must help me find out who’s the one responsible for this incident and punish him severely.”

Tyrone nodded in response.

Within two days, one of the senior executives became the scapegoat to bear the entire responsibility for the Larson Group.

Even so, the company still had to pay an enormous amount of compensation.

The archaeological department will take over the land in the Harbor District for the moment. They would only return the land to the Larson Group after the excavation was completed.

After all, the land still belonged to the Larson Group. They would only have to wait for the excavation to end to retrieve the land.

The archaeological department was not the one to bear the cost during the excavation.

Since the Larson Group was facing litigation charges, they would not have the audacity to ask for compensation from the government.

Several days later, James was released from the detention center. He had gotten thinner, and his face was full of fatigue.

The Larson family was already waiting for him at the entrance early in the morning.

They quickly surrounded him as soon as he walked out.

“Dad, are you okay?” Whitney asked anxiously.

Zachary looked at him with a worried expression. “Dad, are you all right?”

Jessica said, “Let’s go home. Here is not the right place to talk.”

James swept a glance at three of them. When he was held at the detention center, he initially expected Zachary to resolve the problem. However, not only did his son disappoint him, but he also ruined his reputation.

The daughter, which he held in high regard, turned out to be no use at all.

He was utterly disappointed with his children, but the one that let him down the most was Julianna.

“Let’s go,” James said with a sullen expression.

Everyone seemed to notice James had become aloof and unpredictable when they returned to the Larson residence. They began to behave cautiously at home.

Inside his study, there was a piece of paper on his black desk. Jessica and Whitney’s names were written on the paper.

Chapter 302

James frowned, and his expression darkened as he stared at their names.

Just then, Tyrone’s call came in. The moment he answered it, he heard Tyrone’s anxious voice. “Mr. Larson, an accident happened at the project site at Cranur. There was a structural collapse that injured over 20 workers. Two of them sustained severe injuries and died.”

If such a severe accident happened at a construction site, the project would be stalled for investigation by the related department.

The Larson Group was already in a financial crisis. The accident that happened out of the blue would only cause more problems for the company.

“I understand.” James hung up the phone.

If the accident was exposed, the bank would definitely demand debt repayment. He would not know how to handle the financial loss as he had mortgaged all properties to the bank for a loan.

He needed to think of a solution to resolve this problem. As long as he had the financial support to overcome this period, the Larson Group would not have to face bankruptcy.

James would never allow himself to destroy the Larson Group after years of dedication and hard work.

His fingers hovered over the two names and muttered, “I’ve raised and nurtured you all for all these years. Now it’s time for you all to repay the Larson family.”

He then sent out a few sets of photos and personal information of Jessica and Whitney through email.

Half an hour later, he got a reply in his inbox.

There was only an address and a time stated in the email.

James let out a sigh of relief. Luckily, both of them passed.

The following morning, the early summer sun penetrated through the window and shone on the carpet. There was a large bed right in the middle of the room. Jessica woke up and leaned against the headboard. She glanced at the time, and the corner of her lips curved slightly.

The incident should’ve caused a commotion. It wouldn’t take long for the Larson Group to cease to exist. As for James, Julianna, Whitney, Zachary, or even the whole Larson family, their days will finally come to an end.

The thought of it made Jessica delighted. She was in a good mood, just like the sun shining brightly outside the window.

After she washed and tidied up herself, she hid her joyful expression and went downstairs.

As soon as she stepped into the dining room, James said to her with a smile, “Today is the weekend. Why didn’t you sleep a little longer?”

Jessica was a little surprised. “I’m used to it.”

When Whitney and Julianna entered the dining room, James also greeted them with a smiling face, as if he was not affected by the incident that happened earlier.

“Dad seems to be in a good mood today,” Whitney lowered her voice as she said to Zachary.

Zachary nodded. “He must have some good news.”

After James finished his breakfast, he said to Jessica and Whitney, “There will be a banquet tonight. I want you two to attend with me.”

Zachary exclaimed upon hearing that, “Dad, I want to go too.”

“What for? To embarrass yourself?” James scolded.

Zachary went silent instantly.

James then turned to smile at Jessica and Whitney. “I’ll ask someone to send you girls your gowns afterward. Make sure to dress up well tonight. Though everyone now thinks that the Larson family is in an unstable state, you two still have to behave well and maintain the reputation of the family. We have to be confident and don’t let others look down on us. Do you understand?”

“Yes, Dad,” Whitney replied obediently.

Whitney had thought that her father intended to make use of his daughters to develop ties with the rich and powerful.

However, it seemed like she was wrong.

Jessica nodded in response, but she felt uneasy about it.

Somehow, the feeling was eerily familiar to her.

Chapter 303

Jessica would never believe that James would bring the two of them to a banquet without ulterior motives.

After all, James was a sly fox.

I bet he intends to use us to find an investor to fund the company. It’s just like how I was pushed to Seamus in exchange for financial support in my previous life. Wait a minute…

Jessica’s heart trembled upon having that thought.

The memory was coming back to her, and now she understood why the scenario somehow felt familiar to her.

The current situation was exactly like the crisis that the Larson Group was facing in her previous life. The Larson family sent her to Seamus without hesitation back then.

Now, James was attempting to sacrifice them for the sake of his company.

He was indeed as selfish as always.

He would never care about the kinship between family members. All he cared about was himself.

He was planning to sell them off to the rich.

She had suffered once in her previous life, and that was more than enough. She did not want to experience it ever again in her second life.

A trace of resentful glint flashed across Jessica’s eyes.

Julianna knew her husband well, and she immediately understood his intentions. She quickly reminded, “Honey, Whitney, and Yves are engaged. What if the Harrod family calls off the engagement if they knew that you brought Whitney to the banquet to meet other men?”

James glared at her. “You know nothing!”

After breakfast, they went to the mansion and started to dress up.

Julianna entered Whitney’s room. Her expression softened when she saw how beautiful her daughter had grown. She walked up to Whitney and held her hand. “You are so beautiful, Whitney.”

“Mom.” Whitney glanced at her shyly, blushing a little.

Waving her hand, she gestured to the others to leave the room.

The stylist, designer, and makeup artist all left the room, leaving only the two of them inside.

“Whitney, you’ll have to pretend that you’re having a stomachache when it’s time to head to the banquet.”

“Why?”

“Don’t ask why. Just do as I say.” Julianna’s expression turned grim.

Whitney sighed. “Mom, I know what you’re concerned about. You’re afraid that Dad’s going to use us in exchange for his own benefit.”

“You already know what will happen. Why do you still want to go?”

Whitney’s eyes flickered. “Mom, why can’t you understand? Even if the others take a fancy to me and intend to marry me, they’ll have to receive your blessing first. After all, I have the Harrod family to support me if anything happens. Besides, I haven’t been to an upper-class society banquet in Marsingfill before. It may be my chance if I can meet a better man.”

The Harrod family was a relatively well-known wealthy family in Horington, but they were no match with the families in Marsingfill.

Moreover, the Harrod family had always looked down on her.

If she were to marry into a prestigious family, she could show off to the Harrod family.

Julianna gave up and glared at her. “Fine, then. But you’ll have to be careful when you get there. Don’t trust your dad too much. All he cares about is money.”

“Sure, I will;” Whitney reassured her mother and led her out of the room. She was excited about the banquet and was determined to succeed.

The father and daughters departed from the mansion at three o’clock in the afternoon and headed for the port.

“Dad, why is the car heading toward the port? I thought we were going to Marsingfill?”

“We’re going to Marsingfill by boat. Many big shots are already on board. They are all heading for the banquet in Marsingfill as well,” James smiled as he explained.

“Really?” Jessica asked.

She did not seem to trust her father’s words.

Chapter 304

The car stopped at the port. James then led Jessica and Whitney, who were well-dressed, to board the cruise.

James showed the security guard his invitation card. The guard, with a tablet in his hand, then scrutinized Whitney and Jessica up and down. He only allowed them to enter after matching their faces with the information on his tablet.

From the moment they boarded the ship, they had gone through three rounds of security checks. Whitney got fired up upon seeing how strict the security and regulation were. She believed that the more luxurious the banquet, the stricter the security check.

The banquet must be a very luxurious one to have such an extra-tight security check.

Whitney’s eyes glinted wildly in excitement.

When they finally made it inside, a tall hostess welcomed them and gave James a mask.

Jessica asked, “What about us?”

The hostess smiled at them. “Miss, only the gentlemen need a mask to enter.”

Whitney rolled her eyes at Jessica.

What an idiot! How can others see your face when you’re wearing a mask? How will you get to know all the young and successful rich men?

She felt insulted by Jessica’s question and agreed with the rules set by the banquet organizer.

As they stepped into the ballroom, Whitney was captivated by all the glorious decorations and glittery lights.

Jessica glanced around the area. More than half of the guests were all beautiful ladies.

Every single one of them was drop-dead gorgeous.

She then looked at the remaining men in the ballroom. All of them were wearing masks, so she could not see their faces. However, she could tell most of them were wrinkly old or middle-aged men with big bellies. She could hardly find a man with a fit body.

She then realized something was not right about this scene.

A male guest would bring along a female partner in a standard banquet, but this was different.

Whitney scanned the male guests and was disappointed at what she saw. However, she remembered that this was only the beginning. Hence, she immediately regained her composure and looked forward to the banquet in Marsingfill later.

She had noticed the ladies present in the ballroom. She frowned upon seeing there were so many attractive women at the banquet.

Oh gosh! Why do all the women here look so elegant?

Whitney would be considered a beauty in public, but she was no match for all the gorgeous women there.

The three of them caught the guests’ attention right after they appeared. All eyes fell on Jessica and Whitney.

Their gazes somehow made Whitney feel uncomfortable. It was as if they were scrutinizing a product rather than looking at a person.

Whitney subconsciously backed away and stayed by Jessica’s side.

James said to them, “You girls can wander around and talk to the other guests. I’m going to greet the host.”

“All right.”

After that, James spoke to the hostess, who led him elsewhere.

Jessica’s eyebrows furrowed when she realized that James left them alone in the ballroom.

Just then, one of the waitresses came over with two different colors of wrist corsage. “Ladies, you can pick a color that you like for the wrist corsage.”

Whitney picked the purple one as it matched her gown.

When it was Jessica’s turn, she rejected it immediately. “It’s too ugly. I won’t wear it.”

The waitress was stunned for a moment. “Ms. Jessica, all the ladies in the banquet will have to wear this. If you…”

“If I refuse to wear it, are you going to drive me out?” Jessica asked in return.

Whitney was speechless and subconsciously stayed away from her.

Oh my God. How dare she cause a scene in such a place? This is so embarrassing!

Chapter 305

The waitress was in a difficult position. Just then, the manager approached Jessica and said, “My apologies. She is new here, and she doesn’t know the rules. I’m sorry for the trouble that was caused. You don’t have to wear it if you don’t like it, Ms. Jessica.”

The manager waved his hand and signaled for the waitress to leave.

Then, he stood beside Jessica and gave her a kind reminder. “Ms. Jessica, do let me know if you ever encounter any problem on the cruise.”

“I have something to tell my dad. Please take me to him,” Jessica requested.

The manager was stunned, as he wasn’t expecting her response. He replied courteously, “I will inform Mr. Larson. He will be back after greeting the host. Ms. Jessica, I will excuse myself if you don’t have any other problems.”

Jessica nodded.

Then, the manager picked up a glass of champagne from a waiter’s tray and passed it to Jessica. “This champagne was invented by our boss. It is one of a kind. Please have a sip, Ms. Jessica.”

“All right.” Jessica took the glass and smelled a strong wine aroma.

The manager left and went to the corner. He whispered his orders to the staff and glanced at Jessica now and then.

Jessica wandered around the ballroom with the glass in her hand. Those who came forward to greet her were discouraged by her stony face.

Just then, she noticed that surveillance cameras were installed in every corner of the ballroom, leaving no blind spots at all.

There were two entrances to the ballroom. The first one was the main entrance, while the other was the staff entrance.

Judging by the situation, Jessica figured out that this was a large trading market. Every girl had a number on their wreaths. Those numbers were markings left by the men who took an interest in them.

She didn’t expect that James would bring his daughters to a filthy place like this for the sake of money.

Although the men here did not have the guts to reveal anything to the public, the Larson family would still lose their reputation in Horington City.

What happened to the Larson family recently forced James to forget about his ego and willingly sacrifice his daughters.

Jessica glanced at how the other girls chuckled and entertained the men. Judging by their behaviors, she could tell that the girls were there voluntarily.

Perhaps they were the only two who were tricked on board.

In one of the big lounges, a bald man sat in the center of the leather couch with two tall and muscular tough guys standing behind him.

James entered the lounge. The bald man pointed at an empty seat beside him with a cigar in his hand. “Pour some wine for Mr. Larson.”

An alluring woman stepped forward with a seductive smile on her face. The upper part of her breasts was exposed when she bent down to pour the wine.

James took a glimpse of her as his eyes darkened.

“Mr. Larson, why are you willing to send your lovely daughters here?” said the bald man with a strong regional accent.

The screen in front of them was broadcasting the situation in the ballroom.

“I’m not willing to do so. I don’t have other choices.”

The bald man laughed. “Will there be a problem if I take in Jessica? I hope the Ferguson family and Young family won’t come after me. Trouble is what we distaste the most for people in this line. I’m sure you are aware.”

“Rest assured, there won’t be any problem.”

“Great.” The bald man cackled. “Mr. Larson, name a price.”

Chapter 306

James wrote a price below Whitney’s photo on the pricing board.

Then, he wrote a price that was two times higher than

Whitney’s below Jessica’s photo.

The bald man raised his eyebrows after looking at the price. “This is the highest bid price I’ve ever seen, Mr. Larson. Aren’t you afraid that no one will bid for her? It’s a pity if no one bids for such a beauty.”

“A delicate good is worth its money.” Confidently, James picked up the wineglass and gulped all the champagne in it. An hour later, everyone left the ballroom after receiving their orders.

Whitney was puzzled. She asked a lady, “Why is everyone leaving?”

The lady gave her a smirk and replied, “We will go back to the room first and come out later.”

Whitney had a strange feeling, but she decided to follow them outside.

Two hostesses stepped forward and greeted Jessica and Whitney with a smile. “Ms. Whitney, Ms. Jessica, please follow us.”

Both of them were led to the guest room on the top floor. They walked to the end of the corridor and stopped in front of a suite.

One hostess said to Whitney, “Ms. Whitney, this is your room. The highlight of the ball will begin soon. Have fun.”

Whitney did not know what she meant. Could it be a special event?

She wanted to ask but was afraid to show her ignorance. Thus, she just nodded her head.

The other hostess brought Jessica to the suite beside Whitney’s. “Ms. Jessica, this is your room. Have fun.”

Jessica smirked upon hearing those words. She knew what the underlying meanings were.

The doors closed automatically after she entered the room. The suite was very grand and had panoramic windows displaying the sea view. The living room and the bedroom were very spacious. She noticed that in the middle of the bedroom was a waterbed.

The service is not bad!

She checked every single corner of the room in detail to make sure there weren’t any monitoring devices. Then she sat on the couch leisurely and waited.

After an hour, a fat middle-aged man entered her room.

The man grinned when he saw her. “Ms. Jessica,” he greeted.

“Nice to meet you!” Jessica replied with a smile as she waved to the man.

The man was stunned and surprised for a moment. Why wasn’t she shocked to see me? Does she know the rules here? If that’s the case, this would be less fun.

The man was displeased to see Jessica’s calm attitude.

He was willing to fork out a high price because he thought that she was a pure and inexperienced girl.

Although he had his suspicions, he wasn’t in a rush to seek an explanation from the organizer. Instead, he chose to inspect her first.

I can still lodge a complaint later if she isn’t what I want.

The man licked his lips as he looked at the woman. He put on a furtive smile and said, “Ms. Jessica, you are pretty.”

“I wonder how do I address you?” Jessica asked him cheerfully.

The man laughed and replied, “My last name is Jenkins. You can call me Harry.”

Harry?

Jessica was disgusted, but she maintained a joyful expression.

“Hi, Mr. Jenkins. My apologies. May I ask, how much did you bid for me?” Jessica asked with a smirk on her face.

Chapter 307

Harry asked, “You know about it? Why are you still willing to come then, Ms. Jessica?”

Rich heiresses like them would always make a scene on their first visit.

It was rare to meet someone who could still speak so calmly and laugh so heartily.

“Do you intend to resort to force if I’m unwilling?” Jessica asked without a hint of dissatisfaction in her voice.

Harry laughed and said, “It seems like we will not require this today.”

He threw the item in his hand onto the coffee table.

Jessica picked up the object and examined it. She asked curiously, “What is this?”

“If you press this button, the air in the bedroom will be filled with an aphrodisiac scent. I was going to use it for tonight, but I guess I won’t be able to now.”

Harry narrowed his eyes at Jessica. “Baby, the night is precious. Let’s get started!”

“No rush!” Jessica sprung up, avoiding the greasy man.

Harry was not irritated that he failed to hug Jessica; he seemed rather excited and looked at her as if she were a tasty little sheep waiting to be eaten.

Jessica endured his penetrating gaze and firmly said, “Mr. Jenkins, could you please do me a favor and call my father? I have something to pass on to him. Once he is here, we will be able to have a fantastic night!”

“You can pass the items to him tomorrow. Beautiful girl, let’s not waste time,” said Harry, as he started undressing.

Jessica shook her head and said in a resentful tone, “Mr. Jenkins, you can’t even fulfill a small wish of mine?”

As soon as he heard the tone of her voice, Harry was crushed. He could not help but agree.

“All right. My beautiful girl, don’t be sad. I will ask someone to call him over.”

Harry Jenkins was tonight’s honored guest, so whatever he asked for would be granted.

Soon after he made the call, there was a knock on the door. James was standing outside.

Harry greeted him happily and allowed him to enter, closing the door behind him.

James looked at Harry and recognized him as one of the richest businessmen in the country.

Harry half-jokingly said, “Mr. Larson, I might as well be your son-in-law.”

The smile on James’ face stiffened, but he did not dare to insult Harry. He could only change the subject. “How may I help you, Mr. Jenkins?”

Harry laughed and said, “It was not me who called you here, but your daughter. She said she had something to pass to you immediately.”

James did not understand.

Jessica walked out of the bedroom and looked at James with a slight smile.

That smile made his heart lurch. He had a bad feeling.

“Jess, you…”

“Dad, the game has just begun,” said Jessica jovially.

What does that mean? Both Harry and James looked at Jessica in confusion.

Before the two of them could react, Jessica dashed toward them and hit them in the neck. They both fell to the ground.

Five minutes later, Harry and James were lying side by side on the waterbed.

Jessica looked at them. “Enjoy this beautiful night.”

Picking up the remote control, Jessica pressed the button. Pink smoke entered the room and lingered.

Chapter 308

She closed the door gently and the sounds in the room immediately faded.

An hour earlier on Horington Island, Charles was in his study when he received a phone call from Wolf.

“I just received some news. James brought both his daughters to attend Robert’s private banquet.”

The private banquet hosted by Robert was famous for hosting unseemly activities to please the rich and powerful. Charles had rejected the invitation multiple times. Hence, Robert relied on Dellmoor’s eight prestigious families for backing instead.

Charles set the document in his hands down, and his expression turned solemn. “Prepare a speedboat and bring along our men.”

“Roger.”

Five minutes later, a red sports car was speeding out of Horington Island and toward the pier.

Half an hour later, the pier was filled with rows of black cars.

When the red sports car stopped, everyone stood at attention.

The moment Charles stepped out of the car, everyone bowed in unison and shouted, “Boss!”

Wolf stepped forward and said, “The cruise left the port half an hour ago and is heading toward international waters. At our fastest speed, it will take us around forty minutes to catch up to them.”

The men quickly got onto the speedboat and headed in the direction of the cruise at high speed.

Meanwhile, Robert was still on the cruise, smoking cigars and enjoying the beauties in the lounge. He was completely unaware of the danger that was coming.

Suddenly, a lackey rushed into the room and urgently reported, “Boss, this is bad. Our cruise has been completely surrounded.”

Robert sat up straight and pushed the woman in his arms away. “Who has surrounded us?”

I have been in this line of business for so many years and never encountered any problems. Who is stupid enough to go against me?

He did not intend to let them off.

“I’m not sure who they are, but they all have weapons.”

Just as the two of them were speaking, the lounge door was kicked open.

A hoard of men in black combat clothes rushed into the room.

This was the first time Robert had encountered such a situation. Upon seeing that the men had weapons, the calm look on his face disappeared and his heart trembled.

The men split into two groups and aimed their weapons at everyone in the room.

Footsteps could be heard in the distance.

That sound was ominous, resembling a death song.

As the footsteps approached, a figure appeared. His facial features were chiseled, and he exuded a chilling aura.

Robert looked at the person who just arrived. In a trembling voice, he said, “Mr. Young, welcome.”

Charles walked forward and placed the weapon on his forehead. “Where is she?”

Robert was terrified. This is all James’ fault.

“Ms. Jessica is in Room 1808. Here’s the key.”

Robert trembled as he reached into his pocket to reveal a multi-purpose key.

The weapon slid across Robert’s forehead as Charles whispered menacingly into his ear, “If a single hair on her is missing, I will make you pay!”

Chapter 309

Charles took the key and headed to look for Jessica.

As soon as they left, Robert slumped to the ground with an ashen face. He prayed that Ms. Jessica would be all right.

Nearing Room 1808, a miserable cry of a woman and laughter of several men could be heard.

The woman’s voice sounded familiar.

Charles realized it was Jessica’s voice.

He hastened his steps.

The men hurriedly opened the door to room 1808. They found a woman sitting comfortably in the living room and enjoying her fruits.

Upon hearing the commotion, she raised her head blankly and looked at Charles in surprise.

“What are you doing here?”

Shocked and resentful eyes looked at him.

Is he also a guest on this cruise?

The cruise had left the port long ago. If he appeared in front of her, he must have been on it from the beginning. Damn, I didn’t know Charles was this kind of person. Sure enough, men who seem to be docile actually have a hidden side to them.

Charles looked at the expression on her face and wondered what was going on in her mind.

He was so worried about her, but this girl was imagining him unscrupulously. She was really an ungrateful girl.

Charles walked up and flicked her lightly on the forehead. Get rid of those dirty thoughts in your mind.”

Jessica covered her forehead and glared at him.

Suddenly, in the bedroom across the door, came a man’s scream.

“Ow! It hurts.”

Jessica and Charles both recognized the owner of the voice. It was James.

Following closely was Harry’s rude voice. “Don’t move. It’ll stop hurting in a moment. If you move again, you’ll die.”

A look of surprise flashed past Charles’ eyes.

A split second later, Jessica’s ears were covered tightly by big, warm hands.

Jessica raised her eyebrows and silently told him that it was too late.

She had already been listening for a while.

“This is no place for a lady like you. It is not good for you to stay here any longer,” Charles leaned over and whispered to her.

“No. I still have something to take.”

She had secretly installed a camera. If she did not take it with her, her efforts would go to waste.

“What sort of thing?”

Jessica smiled slyly and said, “What do you think?”

Charles understood immediately. “I will send someone to go get it.”

As he spoke, he held Jessica’s collar and led her away from the filthy place.

She reminded him, “Make sure your men don’t forget. I placed the camera under the TV switch. They need to be careful not to break it. The information is very precious, it will be gone if you lose it.”

Seeing that she cared so much about that small thing, Charles frowned.

“If it breaks, I will pay you back accordingly. The main concern is still the two of them.”

Jessica was taken aback and raised her thumbs up. She said in passing, “Don’t bother with Harry, you can just find other people similar to him.”

Charles was speechless.

It was shocking that Jessica could say such fierce words without a trace of embarrassment.

“Jess, I am a man.” Charles could not help but remind her.

She battered her long eyelashes and replied with a serious face, “I know that!”

Chapter 310

Charles took a deep breath and kept silent.

In the lounge, Robert waited anxiously on the sofa. He kept glancing at the door, from the corner of his eye, where the man in black was. The man was holding a weapon.

Robert’s heart was palpitating, and he didn’t stop praying.

Ms. Jessica, please be safe! Ms. Jessica, please be safe!

The process of waiting was excruciating.

After twenty minutes, Charles and Jessica appeared. Seeing that Jessica was fine, Robert sighed in relief.

He was not going to die.

Robert was so relieved he almost shed a tear.

“Ms. Jessica,” shouted Robert in an emotional voice. Charles sat on the couch and crossed his legs lazily. Looking at him, he said, “Now tell me how you are going to compensate for the mental trauma Jess experienced.”

Hearing the word compensation, Robert could not help but remember the lavish gifts that Jessica received during her nineteenth birthday.

It seemed that he had to spend an exorbitant sum to appease Charles’ anger.

Robert frowned and said, “Last month, I went to Archulea and got a pair of bracelets that would suit Ms. Jessica’s complexion. If Ms. Jessica wears them, she will definitely shine.”

Once he finished speaking, he looked at Charles. However, when he saw that the look on Charles’ face was grim, Robert’s heart shuddered.

Shucks, is this not enough?

That blood jade bracelet cost him a total of three million dollars.

Robert gritted his teeth and continued, “I almost forgot. I still have Larson Group’s shares in my possession that are useless to me. Today, I will humbly gift them to Ms. Jessica. I hope that Ms. Jessica will accept this gift.”

After he finished, he glanced at Charles and noticed that his eyebrows were relaxed. He sighed in relief.

Thank god. I’ve survived!

Taking the monetary compensation, Charles brought Jessica out of the cruise.

Robert watched as the pair left and secretly cursed Charles.

Wolf walked ahead and patted him on his shoulders. With an icy voice, he said, “Next time, be smarter. You can’t just aggravate anyone. This is the first and last time.”

The consequences would be more severe if he committed the same mistake again.

“Yes, yes. You are right.” Robert nodded his head. He would never offend Jessica ever again.

Jessica followed Charles back to Horington, but Whitney and James were still onboard the cruise.

The next morning, when Whitney woke up and looked at the wounds on her body, her eyes were filled with resentment and hatred.

How can they treat me this way?!

At that moment, Whitney hated everyone in the Larson family, including Julianna and Zachary.

I want all of them dead!

In the next room, James was awakened by sharp pains in his back. The moment he moved his body, the piercing pain made him gasp.

Harry woke up soon after. When he saw that the person beside him was James, his face turned green.

“Why is it you? What did you do to me?” Harry shouted in rage and shock, looking nauseated.

James had a somber expression. He was clearly the victim, but he was yelled at and treated as the bad guy.
