Chapter 311
“You’ve destroyed me. You shall pay for my physical and mental damages!” Harry roared.
James replied with a slap across the man’s face.
Harry was not one to take it down, and the two men started fighting on the bed. In the end, both parties had cuts and wounds on their faces.
When Harry confronted Robert, he learned that it was Charles’ doing. He was scared shitless and dared not say a word.
“I will refund everything you paid yesterday.” Robert scoffed and continued, “You should be glad that it wasn’t Ms. Jessica in your bed last night. Or you’d be fed to the sharks by now.”
Cold sweat trickled down Harry’s forehead. He was so relieved that he did not mess with Jessica.
Meanwhile, Whitney and James returned to the Larson residence in silence.
Julianna saw them at the door and smiled. “You’re back. Honey, what happened to your face?”
“None of your business.” James went upstairs without looking back.
Whitney followed suit.
Did something happen at the banquet? Why are the two of them being so weird? Julianna frowned.
Where is Jessica? Why isn’t she home yet?
Julianna was worried and went upstairs to knock on Whitney’s door.
No one answered. Julianna’s worries deepened as she entered the room.
She heard the sounds of running water mixed with a girl’s cries coming from the bathroom.
Julianna walked up and asked with concern, “Whitney, are you okay?”
“Get lost!” Whitney screamed. It was obvious that she was crying and sounded miserable.
Julianna was anxious, and she urged, “Whitney, what happened? Please tell me.”
Whitney ignored her as her tears flowed endlessly. She scrubbed her body so harshly that her skin turned red. Yet, she did not stop. It was as though she wanted to peel a layer of skin off.
Julianna opened the door and was frightened at that sight. The bruises on Whitney’s body were evident for Julianna to guess what happened.
“What happened? Who did this?” she asked, fuming.
Whitney sneered, “Save your crocodile tears. Isn’t this what you wanted? You sold me for money. I’m not even your daughter: Why does it matter to you!”
Julianna grimaced as she hugged Whitney. “This is all Mom’s fault. I’ve failed to protect you.”
“Mom?” Whitney scoffed, “You’re not my mom.”
Julianna could not take it anymore and lash out, “You’re wrong. I carried you for 10 months and delivered you. I’m your biological mother. Why would I do that to my child?” Whitney was stunned. “What are you talking about? If I’m your daughter, then what about Jessica? Whose daughter is she?”
Julianna did not explain. Instead, she said, “You don’t have to know about that. All you should know is that I’m your biological mother. We have the closest ties in this household. As for the rest, they don’t matter at all.”
Whitney was dumbfounded. She started laughing and shrieked, “You’re lying! You just want to make use of me to earn money for the Larson family.”
“No, it’s not like that. I will never do that to you. I’m going to confront that bastard now.” Julianna let go of Whitney and walked out.
Chapter 312
Whitney watched as Julianna left the room. Deep in her heart, she believed the revelation. But it was hard for her to accept it instantly.
Julianna barged into the room as James came out of the shower.
When she saw the scratches on his body, she felt her blood boil.
He was enjoying himself when he pushed her daughter into hell. She hated him so much.
“James, why did you do that? Are you trying to ruin Whitney? She still has her entire life ahead of her!” Julianna growled. James glared at her. “The Larson family has been taking care of her for so many years. Now that we are in trouble, it’s time for her to return the favor. What’s the problem with that?”
“Although she’s not your biological daughter, she’s called you dad for so many years. How could you do that?” she grunted.
“I’ve been paying for this bastard for so many years, I’m just asking for a little interest now. Is that too much to ask? If it wasn’t for me, do you think she would be able to have a good life like this? She would just be a beggar on the streets,” James sneered.
Julianna’s face darkened as she stuttered, “Y-you knew about it? When did you find out?”
She had kept this secret for so long, how could he have known?
“You think you hid it very well? Julianna, please don’t take everyone like an idiot.” James knew about the matter long ago. However, he chose not to do anything about it as he still needed the support of the Quail family.
When she kept silent about his promiscuous lifestyle, he thought that she could still retain her position as Mrs. Larson.
“You also knew about Jessica?” Julianna asked.
“What do you think?” he retorted.
If the child that she bore was not his, this biological daughter’s plan must be a fiasco.
However, he did not know Julianna’s intentions for declaring a random girl as her biological daughter. He thought there must be something that she was after. But since Jessica was pretty and able to pull ties with the Young family and the Ferguson family, he treated her as his biological daughter.
Why does it matter if he was the one receiving the advantage? He could benefit from Jessica’s connections. Julianna sat on the floor feeling defeated. She pointed at James and said, “You’re not afraid that Jessica’s family will come after you, after knowing how you treat her?”
James replied, “You’re not even afraid. Why should I be?” He wanted her to tell him more about Jessica’s identity. Julianna laughed hysterically. “You have no idea, don’t you? I can’t believe I thought that you knew all about that little bitch, but it looks like you don’t.”
James thought that his reply was foolproof. How did she know that he was not sure?
As they stood facing each other, a maid’s voice traveled from outside the room.
“Ms. Jessica, why are you standing at the door?”
James and Julianna looked at each other and dashed out of the room to find Jessica standing outside. She smiled and said gleefully, “Hello, my dearest father. My dearest mother. Good morning.”
Both of them shuddered and felt an icy shiver running down their spine.
Did she hear everything that we said?
James thought about what happened last night and said, ” Jess, last night you…”
“My dearest father, did you have a lovely night? You don’t have to thank me.”
Chapter 313
Thanks? James’ face turned green.
Jessica smiled and headed back to her room. She returned with an old tote bag, which she brought to the Larson family. The bag contained a glass bottle.
They knew that she must have heard everything when she appeared with the bag.
“Jess.” Julianna wanted to persuade Jessica to stay, but there was an unknown fear within her.
Willow and the rest also sensed that something was wrong. They wondered what had happened at the banquet, as their attitudes had changed after returning.
“Ms. Jessica, what are you doing?” Willow asked.
Jessica looked at her and replied jovially, “Take care, Mrs. Wallace!”
The maids looked at each other as they were puzzled by her reply.
James remained quiet.
Jessica looked at Julianna and said, “Mrs. Larson, I will always welcome you. You may contact me once you are prepared to explain yourself.”
Then she turned to James. “Mr. Larson, thank you for your generosity for these six months. I will be sure to send you a gift soon. I hope you’ll like it.” She paused and continued, Although I’m not your biological daughter, you’ve taught me a lot. I was given the opportunity to try out many things that I would have never been able to do before. Though I haven’t been your daughter for a long time, I will always remember this part of my life.”
Jessica’s words seemed perfectly normal on the surface, but they sounded really odd to James and Julianna.
Meanwhile, Willow and the rest gawked in disbelief.
Whitney covered her mouth in shock, standing at the stairs of the second floor.
Jessica was not the biological child of the Larson family. Her brother was the illegitimate child of James; she was the illegitimate child of Julianna. It was too much for her to digest in a day.
Zachary was back from running, and his jaw dropped when he heard the news that Jessica was not his biological sister.
I knew it! How can my sister be so annoying?
He dashed in smugly. It was finally time to chase Jessica away and peace could be returned to the Larson family.
Zachary saw her bag and said, “Since you’re not a member of the Larson family, you can’t take anything that belongs to us. I will have to check your bag.”
Jessica did not protest. She opened up the bag and took out the glass bottle. Then she overturned the bag and emptied the contents.
“What’s this? This definitely doesn’t look like yours,” Zachary said while holding a fox mask.
Jessica sneered and snatched the mask from him. “Nor does it belong to the Larson family. Since when have you gifted me something so expensive?”
Whitney felt that the mask looked really familiar, but she could not recall where she saw it.
Zachary got snubbed and lifted the glass bottle. “What’s this?”
Jessica replied cheerfully, “Tails from mice.”
Zachary was frightened and dropped the bottle. Jessica caught it in the nick of time and glared at him.
Zachary shivered.
“Are you done? I’m leaving.”
He waved his hand in disgust. “Get out of the Larson residence.”
Jessica smiled and looked at everyone for one last time before leaving.
Every step she took felt heavier. The hate and killer instinct in her heart increased.
James was cunning as ever. He knew everything and plotted against everyone.
She turned back for the last time and looked at the glorious mansion behind her.
Julianna, James. It’s payback time!
Chapter 314
Zander was in the conference room at Brickton Corporation, lecturing his researchers.
“This is not what I wanted. Why didn’t you ask me if you didn’t understand? What’s the point of having a mouth? To look pretty?” Zander lashed out.
The entire research team kept silent. This was the first time they saw the man so livid.
Just then, the receptionist opened the door. She hesitated to speak when she felt the tense mood in the room.
“What is it?” Zander snapped.
The receptionist stuttered, “B… -Boss, there’s a girl named Jessica looking for you.”
“I’m busy,” Zander answered without thinking. Suddenly he looked up and asked, “Wait, who was it again?”
“A girl.”
Zander dropped his files and walked out straight away.
The researchers looked at each other, dying to know what was happening.
Zander ran to the front desk and beamed when he saw Jessica.
“Boss.”
She waved at him.
Jessica’s eyes were darting around as they walked back into the office. The decoration was simple and everyone was busy working at their desk.
This was the first time that Jessica visited her company and met her employees. There was probably no other boss out there like her.
Zander followed her. “Where’s your office?” Jessica asked.
Zander pointed at the first room and replied, “That’s my office.”
Jessica took a look at the sign. Manager
Zander gestured at the last room and said, “That’s your office. I’ve been keeping it for you. Would you like to take a look?”
Jessica shook her head. “It’s fine. I’m just here to visit. Let’s go to your office.”
“Okay.”
They entered Zander’s office, and Jessica sat on the couch.
His assistant brought a cup of coffee and placed it in front of Jessica while sneaking a look at her.
After the assistant left, Zander placed a thick pile of files in front of Jessica.
“Before you came, I was still thinking about how I should report the company’s results to you. Now that you’re here, please have a look. This is our operations for this quarter. As for the small project you mentioned, the revenue is coming in now. With the new revenue, we can cover the costs of operation.”
Jessica had been squeezing out money to fund Zander’s experiment with the new technology. However, it was unsustainable in the long term. Hence, she suggested that they should come up with a side project, such as the bike-share program in Horington City. The cost required for the project would be significantly lower and they could reap the benefits faster.
After a three-month trial, the profits sufficed to fund the daily operations. There was no need for Jessica to pump in money to sustain the company.
Jessica flipped through the financial report and asked, “
Just enough to cover the costs?”
Zander nodded excitedly. “Yes. I no longer have to ask you for money.”
Jessica felt the need to spoil his proud moment. The purpose of her visit today was to transfer some money from the company. She had burnt a hole in her pocket from the 15 million dollars she invested.
Chapter 315
This company was considered a money-eating beast. All her profits from the stock market went into the company.
As Zander was explaining excitedly, he realized that something was wrong with Jessica’s lack of reaction.
“Boss, is there something wrong?” he asked.
“Nope,” Jessica answered.
“You’re the boss of this company. If there are any problems, feel free to raise them up with me. You don’t have to be wary of my emotions. I can handle it.” Zander could be dense at times, but he was not dumb.
Jessica felt his sincere attitude and said, “The rollout for the bike-share program is too slow and the profits are not coming in fast enough. With Horington City as the focus, dominate the market at a faster speed.”
“Wouldn’t it be too risky?” Zander asked.
“The cost to run the bike-share program is very low. It is also very easy for others to mimic our business operations. Hence, we must dominate the market before anyone reacts and earn the first bucket of gold,” Jessica explained.
Zander understood and nodded. “You’re still the best, Boss. I’ve dragged the team down.”
“You can do it,” Jessica encouraged.
“Boss, you’re not here for this, right?” Zander added.
Since he already asked, Jessica saw no need to hide.
“I’m here to transfer some funds,” she replied.
“How much do you need? I will get Finance to transfer you,” Zander answered without thinking.
“30 million dollars.”
Zander spat out his tea and widened his eyes.
“Why do you need so much money?” Zander exclaimed.
Jessica could not tell him that she wanted to buy out the stocks of the Larson Group. According to the stock prices now, she needed at least 90 million dollars to buy them out.
There was no way she would be foolish enough to spend so much money. Her plan was to buy 15 million dollars worth of stocks. Hence, she had to prepare 30 million dollars in cash, just in case there was a change in plan.
“I have my reasons. I’m planning to contact Fairview Investment and ask for financing. How much do you think they’d give us?” Jessica asked.
The stocks of Brickton Corporation were in the hands of Jessica and Zander. She wanted to use her shares for the financing without touching Zander’s shares.
“Fairview Investment has contacted us twice. I think they will be able to offer us a good price. I would say about 15 million dollars and above,” Zander said.
Brickton Corporation was still a rookie in the eyes of many large enterprises. 15 million dollars was considered a large amount.
“I need you to contact Fairview Investment and get 30 million dollars. Minimally, we should get no less than 25 million dollars. It will be great if they are agreeable. As for the amount of the shares to give, you decide. Just take it from my shares, keep yours untouched,” she instructed. Zander was unsure why she needed so much money urgently, but he guessed that it was probably for an important matter.
“Okay. I will contact them right away.” Zander got on the phone.
Jessica rested on the couch after she was done.
At Fairview Investment, Jake received a call from a manager and knocked on Hugh’s office.
“Mr. Hugh, Brickton Corporation called.”
Hugh turned around and looked at Jake. “They agreed?”
Considering how stubborn they were, their sudden agreement shocked him a little.
Jess is probably lacking money now!
Chapter 316
“Inform the staff to follow the procedures,” Hugh instructed. “Okay,” Jake replied.
Just as Jake was about to step out, Hugh added after
thinking, “Don’t complicate the procedures.”
Jake was surprised. Is Boss trying to pull strings for Jessica?
“Okay,” he answered,
Zander received the confirmation from Fairview Investment almost instantly. As both parties were keen to make it work, everything proceeded smoothly.
After the weekend ended, Jessica was shuttling to and from school by bus.
Some students dressed in St. Daniel College’s uniform stared at her on the bus.
“Is that Jessica?” a girl asked softly.
“Yes.”
“Why is she taking the bus?”
“Maybe to experience the life of a commoner?” the other girl mocked.
“Hush, lower your volume. She’s going to hear us.”
Jessica walked calmly into school, ignoring their stares.
Yves stopped her at the gate. Jessica looked at him and asked, “Yes?”
Yves opened his mouth but said nothing. Finally, he said, ” Why haven’t you brought me food recently?”
If Whitney stopped sending, so would Jessica.
“I didn’t make the food. I was just passing it as a favor for someone,” she replied.
She had explained herself earlier, but Yves never took it to heart. In his mind, Jessica was just too shy to admit.
Yves’ heart raced as he stared at her beautiful face. He didn’t know when he started to have feelings for her. When she
was close to the Ferguson and the Young family, rumors spread that she would marry Charles. Hence, he did not dare to take any action.
It seemed that the rumors were fake as Charles did not help the Larson family, who was in trouble now.
“You don’t have to be shy. I’ve always finished the food that you sent me. I understand your true feelings,” Yves said lovingly.
Jessica looked at the man in front of her. Is he crazy? What a narcissist!
“Whitney was the one who made the food, not me. You should thank her if you feel grateful,” Jessica replied.
Yves did not believe her. “Jess, I’m not interested in Whitney at all. You’re the one that I truly like. Will you be my girlfriend?”
His sudden confession was a shock to everyone.
Whitney had just arrived at school and was devastated when she overheard his confession.
Didn’t he say that he hated Jessica? He said that he would never like someone like her. Why is he confessing to her in front of everyone?
Yves’ friends were cheering on the sides.
“Say yes!”
“Say yes!”
“Get together! Get together!”
Yves took out a rose and stared at Jessica lovingly. “Jess, I will treat you right. I’ll make you the happiest person on earth.”
Jessica looked at the rose and the man standing in front of her. He once vowed that he would never like an ugly freak like her and even tore the marriage agreement in front of everyone to humiliate her.
Yet, now that she did nothing, he suddenly fell for her. Jessica took the rose from his hands.
Chapter 317
The crowd clapped and cheered when they saw Jessica accept the flower.
Yves’ face was all red from the excitement.
He knew Jessica would accept him since they were both in love with each other.
“Jess, I…” Yves suddenly paused when he was just about to say something.
Jessica gently let go of the rose in her hand, and it fell onto the floor.
The next second, a pair of white shoes violently stamped on the rose.
Watching the rose being crushed by Jessica, Yves was heartbroken. It was as if his heart was crushed into pieces by her, just like what she did to the rose.
The cheerful atmosphere froze instantly. Everyone stared at Jessica in disbelief.
The atmosphere turned awkward, and the crowd subconsciously gave Yves a silent gaze. Some felt pity toward him, while others felt like it was a joke.
Jessica then said coldly, “Get lost!”
Yves was angry and embarrassed that she rejected his confession and even snubbed him in public.
He had never been humiliated like this before.
Yves tried to grab Jessica’s hand when she was about to leave but failed.
“Jessica, stop right there. If you don’t like me, why would you prepare food for me every day? Are you playing tricks on me?”
She looked at him and said, “Are you deaf or absent-minded? I told you before that all those were from Whitney.” “I don’t believe it.”
Jessica ignored him and left.
Whitney was standing in the crowd as well. She clenched her fist when she heard what Jessica said.
Jessica had never eaten the food that she prepared. It was Yves who had been eating it all along.
It had never occurred to Whitney that Jessica had passed on the food that she had prepared to Yves.
Whitney was scared. She quickly left before the crowd noticed her.
“I heard that Yves confessed to you,” Samantha asked in curiosity.
“That’s right.”
As Samantha was about to humiliate Yves, Jessica interrupted, “Now you can post the video that I asked you to prepare on the school forum.”
She had been waiting for this day for a long time.
“All right. I’ll do it this instant.”
Samantha acted swiftly.
Within five minutes, a full video clip was uploaded onto the school forum of St. Daniel College.
Jessica, Yves, and Whitney were in the video.
From the video, everyone could clearly see that Whitney handed the meal box to Jessica, who then gave the meal box that she received to Yves.
All the time, venue, date, and design of the meal box were displayed clearly in the video.
At that moment, everyone started to believe Jessica’s words. Some of them didn’t understand why Whitney was doing this. Some concluded that it was Whitney who wanted to create a misunderstanding that Jessica was pursuing Yves.
That way, Whitney could blame Jessica for snatching Yves away from her.
Everyone felt sympathy toward Yves as he was being used by Whitney. They couldn’t believe that the latter had such a scheming and cunning personality.
That afternoon, Yves grabbed Whitney and took her to the corner of the campus.
“Why do you have to do this?” he demanded.
Whitney was on the verge of tears. She replied, “Yves, you have to believe me. That was never my intention. It was Jessica who did it on purpose.”
“Don’t tell me you didn’t know she prepared the food for me every day.”
“I… I…” Whitney was speechless.
She knew it, but she didn’t care.
She wanted to act like a victim when Jessica was pursuing Yves. She wanted to let everyone know how shameless Jessica was so that they would pity her and side with her.
That was why she was not bothered by Edith’s provocation and seemed to be happy about it.
She had the confidence that everything was going according to her plan.
Chapter 318
However, never in a million years would she have thought that Jessica would give the meal box that she had prepared to Yves.
She thought that Jessica had either eaten the food or thrown it away.
How can anyone like this even exist in this world?
“How dare you use me!” Yves grabbed her neck tightly. “You are despicable! Are you happy now after watching me being humiliated?”
“No… That’s not true.” Whitney shook her head. “Yves, I have always liked you. I couldn’t possibly bring myself to do this to you.”
“You like me?” Yves sneered. “Who are you to like me, you bastard!”
The word ‘bastard’ had struck Whitney in the heart.
Ever since the appearance of Jessica, she had always heard people talking badly about her.
Even though she pretended not to hear it, she was aware of it.
Whitney couldn’t hold herself back anymore. She had forgotten what James told her and lost her temper.
“I’m not a bastard. Jessica is the bastard.”
“What are you talking about?” Yves looked at her in shock. Whitney continued, “Jessica is not the biological daughter of the Larson family, I am the one. There was a mistake in the paternity test. She’s the bastard herself. No one wanted to raise that bastard that you like so much.”
Yves was stunned.
Since Whitney is so desperate, what she said must be the truth.
They thought that the conversation was between both of them, but that was not the case.
In the afternoon, the whole campus went crazy about the news.
“Did you guys hear about the news? Jessica is not the lady of the Larson family. Whitney is the one.”
“How is that possible? Don’t talk nonsense.”
“I’m not talking nonsense. I heard it from Whitney herself.” “Whitney was always jealous and even attempted to frame Jessica. Did she do this on purpose?” One of the students asked in curiosity, as Whitney always had schemes in her mind.
“There’s no way she would do that. She will be easily exposed,” someone refuted.
Since the matter could be easily exposed if it was a lie, most of the students believed that it was the truth.
Since then, the students who knew the gossip would glance at Jessica from time to time.
“Now that she is not the biological daughter of the Larson family, let’s see how arrogant she is after this,” Josephine said gloatingly.
“Does that mean we can have our revenge?” Lauren asked softly.
Bam! A pair of shoes dropped onto Lauren’s table.
As Lauren and Josephine lifted their head, they saw Samantha staring at them insidiously with a lollipop in her mouth.
“Revenge? What revenge?” Samantha looked at them calmly.
Looks like they have forgotten the lesson that Jessica taught them before this.
Josephine smiled forcefully and responded, “We didn’t say anything about revenge. You must be mistaken.”
Samantha nodded and said, “I see.”
As Lauren heaved a sigh of relief, Samantha suddenly kicked her desk over.
Clink! Clank! The classroom came into silence. Samantha pointed at the students in the classroom and warned, “I’m telling all of you, Jessica is my sister. If any of you dares to bully her or talk behind her back, don’t expect me to let you off easily.”
Chapter 319
Josephine, Lauren, and the others were too scared to continue criticizing Jessica.
They realized that even though Jessica was not the daughter of the Larson family, she still had a best friend like Samantha by her side.
“I heard that someone here bullied my best friend. Who was it?” Daisy walked into the room and asked. She looked around and finally rested her eyes on Lauren, Josephine, and several others.
“Was it you guys?” Daisy questioned with a smile on her face.
They shook their heads in unison.
Daisy said to everyone, “If anyone is planning to cause mischief behind my back, just say it to my face now. I will assess if you’re qualified.”
There was pin-drop silence in the lecture hall.
Jessica’s heart was filled with warmth as she witnessed her friends rooting for her. She stood there with a lump in her throat, fighting back her tears.
Edith and his friends, who had specially come to the lecture hall to gloat at Jessica’s misfortune, were left disappointed.
“I thought a wallflower like Daisy would switch sides quickly. I didn’t expect her to still side with Jessica. I wonder what’s going through her head,” Edith asked in a puzzled tone.
“She may be trying to save her own face.”
“No, I think she’s doing it for Samantha.”
No matter the reason, it seemed like their plan to watch Jessica being humiliated was ruined.
After school, Samantha and Daisy guarded Jessica like a hawk.
Jessica looked at the two by her side and at the surrounding people. As much as she was touched, she also found it hilarious. “This is really unnecessary. I’m not a weak and fragile flower bud.”
“That’s out of the question. It’s not like you don’t know the kind of people they are. They are well-versed in the sycophantic ways of flattering power. Without the Larson family’s protection, you’ll never know when these people will make a move behind your back,” said Samantha solemnly.
“Sam’s right. We have to let everyone know that even if you don’t have the Larson family’s protection, we’ve got your back. We’ll deal with whoever dares to bully you,” said Daisy angrily.
Jessica relented and allowed the two of them to escort her. “Jess, come home with me. There’s always a room for you at Horington Island.”
Samantha tugged at her sleeves and refused to let go. The chauffeur stood by the car and waited quietly.
“I have a place to stay.”
Although Samantha treats me well, I shouldn’t take advantage of her.
“You can stay over at my place too!”
Jessica politely rejected her kind offer. She compromised and allowed Samantha to accompany her to the neighborhood where she now lived.
“Is this where you are staying?”
Samantha’s eyes widened as she looked at the run-down neighborhood.
Jessica did not care what others thought about the
neighborhood. “That’s right. It’s cheap here, and it’s close to the school too.”
“No way. It’s too dangerous here. There isn’t even a security guard in sight.”
Jessica smiled. “The place where I used to live was even more complicated and dodgy. But here I am, still alive. This is more than what I could’ve asked for.”
“I have money. We can stay somewhere else.” Samantha ‘took a card out of her purse. “Here, use this.”
Jessica politely rejected. “I am not short of cash!”
Samantha looked at her in disbelief.
“There’s no need to worry.”
Jessica let out a sigh of relief after sending Samantha off.
After a simple dinner, Jessica began to do her homework. Suddenly, her phone rang.
“Jess, I’ve spoken to them. Fairview Investment is willing to offer 45 million dollars, and this is only the amount for the first investment. If there is a good working partnership, there might even be a second investment,” Zander said happily.
He did better than I expected. In fact, I’m sure he was also surprised that the other party could offer such a large amount.
Chapter 320
Jessica was just as surprised as Zander at this outcome. “45 million dollars?”
“Yeah, 45 million dollars. Boss, make a guess on how many shares the other party wants,” asked Zander excitedly.
“How many?”
“They only wanted 20% of the shares.”
This figure surprised Jessica again.
“I initially wanted to get an expert to assist in the negotiation. But since the other party was so sincere, I was too embarrassed to even bring it up.”
Having heard these silly words, Jessica smiled.
“As soon we receive the money, I’ll transfer it to your account.”
“Just transfer 30 million dollars to me, and allocate the rest of the money for the company’s operation. I’ve also just sent a document to your email. There are a number of good projects listed on it, so have a look. If it’s possible, we can try to work on some of them.”
It is difficult to launch a successful business today compared to the 1980s and 1990s.
However, as part of the future generation, Jessica was certain that there would still be legends emerging.
Many small-scale industries will eventually become an important sector in the future. They might even expand internationally and make a great impact on society.
Zander was persuaded by Jessica’s words.
After working together for more than half a year, he realized that Jessica had really good foresight and vision. Every time they came across an obstacle, her words would instill confidence to help them pull through.
“Okay, no problem.”
Knock, knock
Jessica hung up the phone and walked out of her bedroom to open the door.
“Are you Jessica?” asked the delivery man.
“Yes, I am.”
The delivery man smiled and said, “These are your
customized furniture and home appliances.”
Having said that, he stepped aside and revealed the giant household appliances.
Jessica looked at the items in astonishment.
“There must be a mistake. I didn’t buy these.”
The delivery man glanced at the house number plate and said, “I doubt so. The address and the name of the house owner are correct. There’s no way I made a mistake.”
“I really didn’t buy it. Sir, there is no way.”
“Oh trust me, there’s no mistake. Miss, please make way. We have to move them into the house so they don’t block the stairs.”
The delivery man yelled at the rest of the workers. Together, they moved all the appliances into the house which was no larger than 540 square feet. The house was quickly filled up. After moving, the delivery man quietly slipped away.
Jessica looked at all the household appliances and silently took out her mobile phone to ring Samantha.
“Sam, did you buy those household appliances?”
Apart from her, Jessica could not think of anyone else who would do such a senseless thing.
At the other end, Samantha was taken aback. “What appliances?”
“It wasn’t you? Then who could it be?” Jessica was a little confused.
As soon as Jessica said that, Samantha furiously declared, “I know who it is! It must’ve been Uncle Charles! He’s so sneaky. I’m going to go deal with him.”
Jessica looked at her blacked-out phone screen in confusion.
Meanwhile, Samantha hurriedly rushed into the study and growled, “Uncle Charles, you are so mean. You sent gifts to Jessica although you told me not to. You have outshone me. That’s very sneaky of you.”
Charles glanced at his innocent niece and spat out two words. “Get out!”
Samantha noticed that he was at an international video conference and retreated silently.
