Obsessed With Her Novel by Master Momo (Chapters 391, 392, 393, 394, 395, 396, 397, 398, 399, 400)

Chapter 391

“Relax. I’m not that irrational.”

If the Ferguson family were to find out that it was her who did it, they would probably take their revenge on Whitney. How could she bet on her own daughter’s life?

The only way to kill Jessica and get away with it was to let her die in an accident.

Only then the Ferguson family would not look further into it. The scorching sun in the afternoon made people feel dizzy. Jessica saw a group of old men and old women standing in front of a unit when she was back in her neighborhood. She walked in that direction and found out that it was the building that she was living in.

“Excuse me. May I know what happened to that unit?” Jessica asked.

The kind lady quickly filled her in. “A wealthy guy has just sent a pile of gifts to the young lady that he fancies living in this building. Those presents look so expensive. Do all young people nowadays spend so much money to pursue a girl?”

Jessica probed her head curiously and saw that two trucks had blocked the entire entrance of the building.

Is this man a tycoon?

Suddenly, a sharp-sighted staff spotted Jessica in the crowd. He ran toward her excitedly.

“Ms. Stone, you finally came back.”

Everyone turned to look at Jessica.

Jessica was dumbfounded. She looked at the staff in confusion.

“Who are you?”

“Ms. Stone, come and take a look at the gifts. They are all prepared by Mr. Ferguson.”

With that, the staff exchanged a look with his colleagues.

The next moment, the truck’s door was opened. A truck of shimmering haute couture and bags were displayed in front of the crowd.

A young lady recognized the handbags in the truck and was shocked. “Oh my gosh! It’s Hermes’ limited edition! There are even Channel and LV. They are all what I always dream of.”

“These pretty clothes smell like money.”

“Oh, lord! All these handbags can be sold for at least a couple hundred thousand dollars. He is indeed a rich guy.” “Why is there never a rich guy who would pursue me like this?”

Almost every single young audience was jealous when they saw the luxurious gift on the truck.

The older people, on the other hand, simply sighed as there were too many things on the truck. However, when they heard about its value from the youngsters, they all shook their heads in disapproval.

“He’s such a spendthrift!”

“If he has so much money, why didn’t he spend it on something useful instead of all this?”

“Youngsters these days know nothing about frugality.”

Jessica immediately stopped the staff who were about to open the boxes. “Don’t open it!”

They paused their actions when Jessica shouted.

If she was right, the two big boxes were full of jewelry.

Displaying this much jewelry in front of the crowd would cause her a lot of trouble.

Among the three brothers of the Ferguson family, Jessica instinctively thought that this inconsiderate arrangement could only be prepared by Jack.

Jessica took a glance at the audience, then said to the leader, “Take them away. I won’t accept any single one of these gifts.”

“Um…” The staff was put into a difficult situation.

“It’s fine. I will explain it to him. Do you think this place can store these gifts?”

The staff looked at the shabby neighborhood and then decided to take the gifts away.

As the staff left, the people couldn’t help but feel sorry for Jessica.

Chapter 392

Jessica’s phone rang just as she went back to her apartment.

“Hello, are you Ms. Stone?” a youthful voice asked. “I am.”

“I have a parcel of yours here, but I can’t find the exact location. Do you mind coming here to collect it? I am currently at the bus stop on Evergreen Road,” said the person on the phone nervously. “You can walk straight on Evergreen Road for less than a mile and turn left after you see the supermarket. You will be able to find it with the help of the passers-by.”

The deliveryman added, “I’m so sorry, but I have just started on this delivery job, so I’m not familiar with this area. Could you please come and collect it by yourself? There’s another parcel that I have to deliver by two o’clock or else the customer will file a complaint against me.”

Jessica didn’t want to make things difficult for him. She said to him, “All right, just wait there. I’m coming now.”

“Sure, sure. Thank you so much!”

Jessica took her keys and headed out.

After five minutes, Jessica arrived at Evergreen Road and walked toward the bus stop.

However, when she was at the bus stop, there were only about four people standing there. The deliveryman was nowhere to be seen.

Jessica frowned and looked around, but she still didn’t manage to find the deliveryman.

Did he leave?

Jessica took out her phone and found the deliveryman’s number. Just as she was about to dial the number, she heard a cry from the opposite.

She looked up and saw an out-of-control truck heading straight toward the bus stop at a very high speed.

As there were no other cars in the way of that speeding truck, it drove toward where Jessica was standing in no time.

Jessica immediately ran to the side. She fell and rolled on the ground, and the truck simply drove past her.

If she had reacted slower, she would have been dead. Bang! The truck hit the lamp post and the cable was torn down as the lamp post fell. Jessica noticed that the cable was about to fall on a little girl. She immediately got up and pounced on the girl to get her away from danger. The cable smashed directly in the front of the truck. Immediately after, sparks flew.

There were people who saw the driver of the truck trembling as a flame rose from the front of the truck and ignited the whole vehicle.

The people around rushed over to help Jessica and that little girl up.

The little girl struggled to walk toward the bus stop but was stopped by the people around her.

“Mommy. I want my mommy,” cried the little girl.

Her mother was lying in a pool of blood. Nobody knew whether she was dead or alive.

The woman had pushed her daughter away from danger at the last moment, and unfortunately, she didn’t manage to escape.

“Oh gosh! This is awful. Are the two people lying on the ground still alive?”

“Call the police and ambulance immediately. Maybe the two people can still be saved.”

However, it was quite obvious that the chances of them surviving were very slim.

Jessica slightly narrowed her eyes when she saw the two people lying in the pool of blood and the truck that went out of control.

Suddenly, a clean handkerchief was passed to her.

“Your hands are full of blood, Miss. Wipe up,” said a little boy in a piping voice.

Jessica wanted to pat the cute little boy’s head. But she withdrew her hands when she saw how bloody they were.

She took the handkerchief from him and thanked him.

Chapter 393

When the traffic police arrived, they interrogated Jessica about the incident. Jessica told them the truth, along with the other witnesses.

The two badly injured people were sent to the hospital by ambulance. The truck driver was also pulled out. However, his whole body had become stiff with a burnt smell.

The witnesses sighed and shook their heads as they saw the truck driver and the two unlucky people.

“Young lady, you are lucky to have dodged the truck. If you were one second later, you would have…”

“You are really blessed, Miss.”

“It was really thrilling just now. Thanks to this young lady, that little girl isn’t hurt.”

Jessica didn’t pay attention to the discussion around her. She took out her phone to dial Raymond’s number but right at this moment, the deliveryman called her.

“Ms. Stone, I am at the bus station now, but it seems like there was an accident here. Where are you?”

“I am right at the site,” said Jessica as her eyes searched for the deliveryman in the crowd. Soon, she saw a guy looking around with a phone in his hand.

Jessica walked toward that man.

“Where are you?”

Jessica patted his shoulder. “You are Jessica?” asked the young man in surprise as he saw the blood on Jessica’s arm.

“Yes, I am. Where were you just now?” Jessica asked in a low voice.

The deliveryman said awkwardly and apologetically, “I am really sorry. That customer wanted me to deliver to him immediately just now. I thought that the place was near and I would be able to return soon so… I’m really sorry.”

Jessica carefully examined the guy in front of her. Looking at the truck nearby and the blood on the ground, she unconsciously thought of the situation when Joseph had an accident.

Both of the scenes were very similar. She couldn’t help but suspect that it was all planned by somebody.

Was this a coincidence Or was it man-made?

Jessica was thinking about this question in her heart.

The deliveryman scratched his head, seeing that she did not respond. He said anxiously, “Can you please don’t file a complaint against me? Customers have already complained about me three times this month. I will lose my salary if I get another complaint.”

“Where’s my parcel?” Jessica didn’t answer him directly.

“Oh!” The deliveryman quickly passed her the parcel.” Please sign here.”

Jessica signed the bill after receiving the parcel.

“What’s your name?” asked Jessica suddenly.

“I’m Nathan Ramsay. You can look for me if you need me,” replied Nathan shyly.

Jessica watched him leave after taking the parcel.

Nathan Ramsay, huh?

l will know if it’s my illusion once I look it up.

Jessica might have been frightened by the accident as she was restless and impetuous on her way back.

She took out her phone again and dialed Raymond’s number.

“Raymond, I need you to look for someone – a guy named Nathan Ramsay working at Co-Ship. Also, please help me investigate the truck driver in the traffic accident on Evergreen Road today.”

Raymond felt something was not right. He asked, “Ms. Stone, did something happen?”

Jessica couldn’t exactly describe how she felt. “I almost ran into a traffic accident today, but it’s nothing serious.

Please settle this for me as soon as possible”

Before Jessica could finish her sentence, she was suddenly pushed forward by a strong force from behind.

Chapter 394

As Jessica was unprepared, she staggered a few steps forward.

When she turned around and wanted to see who had pushed her, a flowerpot fell from above. It dropped and crashed beside her, and the soil splashed on her legs.

Jessica was startled. She looked up but it was quiet upstairs and there was no one around.

Jessica turned and looked at the man in front of her.” Charles, what are you doing here?”

Charles scrutinized her from head to toe. His eyes slightly narrowed when he saw the wound on her arms and his eyes darkened faintly when his sight went from her arms to her legs.

He crouched down and took out a silk handkerchief from his pocket. Then, he gently wiped the cuts on her legs that were scratched by the broken pieces of the flowerpot. Jessica was stunned. To her surprise, the man who always looked proud and arrogant was crouching in front of her.

“I can do it myself.” Jessica squatted down and extended her hand to take the handkerchief. But Charles grabbed her hand.

“It’s done.”

Charles let go of her hand and tied the handkerchief around her ankle. The handkerchief looked like an anklet from afar. The owner of the shop downstairs looked at the smashed flowerpot on the ground and said, “Such an ill-mannered person. Throwing a flowerpot from this high could have killed a person.”

“Ma’am, do things always get thrown from above?” asked Jessica.

The shop owner was full of complaints when this matter was mentioned. She answered, “It used to be spitting or throwing cigar butts and used tissues from above. These people are so despicable.”

“Didn’t anyone take any actions against it?”

“How can we take action when we can’t catch the person doing it? Besides, there are no surveillance cameras in this old building. The property manager has asked around, but no one has ever admitted it. What can we do when we don’t even have evidence? We can only put up with it. There are all kinds of people in this world these days.”

Jessica glimpsed at the residents living upstairs. Then, she turned to Charles and asked, “Why did you come here?”

“I was just passing by. What happened to your arm?” he asked while looking at the wound on her arm.

“A truck went out of control just now. I hurt my arm while trying to avoid it,” she explained casually, without mentioning one bit about how dangerous the situation was.

If she had not avoided it in time, she would have been dead by now.

“A car accident?” Charles frowned.

“My head would have been cracked now if you didn’t push me away from it. It’s an unfortunate day for me,” said Jessica in a relaxed tone, even though she was still haunted by the terrible experience.

“It’s an unfortunate day indeed,” said Charles as he walked to her side. Suddenly, he reached out his hands and covered her head.

Jessica looked at him in puzzlement.

“Blocking you away from all the bad luck,” said Charles in a serious tone.

“What is this logic?”

“There’s an old saying that goes, ‘Just cover your head when you are surrounded by bad luck.”

“That’s superstition.” Jessica laughed. “Put your hands down.”

Charles did not move his hands and continued covering her head.

Everyone who was passing by turned their heads as they saw this scene.

“Mommy, what’s that man doing?” a little girl asked curiously.

The child’s mother was dumbfounded. How could she possibly know what they were doing? Why the hell is he covering her head with his hands when it’s not raining?

However, she answered the little girl calmly, “He’s shielding the lady from the sun.”

“But there isn’t any sunshine now.”

The mother was speechless.

The little girl didn’t get the answer to her question, so she kept tugging the corner of her mother’s shirt.

“They are flirting in public,” the mother answered through gritted teeth.

Chapter 395

“Flirting in public? What do you mean by that?” the child continued to question.

The child’s mother grabbed the child by her hand and left the place in a hurry.

Jessica and Charles heard the entire conversation between the mother and the child.

Jessica blushed and grabbed Charles’ hand which was still resting on her head. “Get your hand off me. People are watching.”

Charles was unperturbed. “Just ignore them. You don’t have to care what they say,” he said calmly.

At that moment, Jessica realized how stubborn Charles could be at times.

She did not know the reason behind Charles’ actions.

However, she did realize that the worries she previously had on her mind had all disappeared. She wondered if it was because of Charles.

“What did you just say? Who’s dead now?” Julianna said into the phone. Her hand was trembling out of anger instead of fear.

“Someone’s dead now. You have to pay me more money.

On top of that, you have to contribute to the compensation fees to both the families of the dead as well,” the person on the other line replied in a low voice.

“What about the person who I instructed you to crash into? How is she now?”

It was a few seconds before the person on the other line replied, “She dodged it. She was too fast.”

“Not only did you not carry out my order, but now you’re telling me that I have to pay a compensation fee? Dream on!” Julianna yelled.

“Do you think I won’t dare reveal this to the person you intended to kill?” the person said in a low voice.

Julianna was not threatened by his words. “Do you think I won’t dare to hire someone to kill your entire family? I can easily achieve that if I spent a few hundred thousand dollars.”

The person did not expect Julianna to say that and remained silent. Julianna was, indeed, capable of that since that was what she had hired him to do in the first place.

Seeing that her tactic worked, Julianna began to soften her tone. She didn’t want to put the other person in a difficult position as well. “I can pay you another hundred and fifty thousand dollars. I don’t have any more than that,” she said.

“Deal,” the person replied.

Julianna supported her head with her hand once she hung up. She let out a long sigh. The thing she feared most had happened.

She had no choice but to opt for her backup plan. It was risky, but she was already running out of time.

Julianna took a SIM card with an anonymous number out of the drawer. She put that into her phone and called Jessica.

Jessica was talking to Raymond on the phone at that moment.

“There’s no problem with the deliveryman nor the delivery company. There’s no suspicious bank transaction in the deliveryman’s account as well. Everything seems fine. However, I did find out that the deliveryman is in the final stage of cancer. He doesn’t have much time left.”

Everything seemed normal to Raymond at that point. However, he knew that the more normal things seemed, the more he should put his guard up.

“Regarding the sender address of the parcel, the delivery company told me that they have no record of that so they don’t know who sent it.”

There was a wooden puppet in the parcel Jessica received. She had asked all her friends about it, but everyone denied it.

Could it be Julianna? Or was it someone else? I don’t care who it is! I must find out no matter what!

“Keep an eye on Julianna for me.”

“Are you suspecting her?” Raymond asked.

“I’m not sure, but she seems the most suspicious to me right now,” Jessica replied. She hung up after that as the phone in the living room was ringing non-stop.

She took a look at the screen and saw a number she did not recognize.

“Who’s this?” Jessica asked.

“It’s me,” Julianna said on the other end.

Chapter 396

Jessica raised an eyebrow and smirked when she heard Julianna’s voice. “Mrs. Larson, it’s been quite a while,” she said.

It had indeed been a long time since the two of them spoke. “Jess, how are you doing recently?”

“Mrs. Larson, why don’t you get straight to the point?” Jessica said coldly.

Julianna laughed and replied, “It was about that thing you told me the other day. I thought it through. I can reveal to you everything I know, but you have to pay me a sum of money in exchange for that.”

It was at that moment Jessica was sure that Julianna had something to do with the parcel.

“Deal.” Just as Julianna had expected, Jessica agreed to her proposal.

“Let’s speak face-to-face at Oaktree Cafe the day after tomorrow at three in the afternoon. Does that work for you?”

“Okay.”

They were engrossed in their thoughts.

Jessica chuckled silently after she ended the call. She dialed a number on her phone. She didn’t have to wait long before someone answered the phone.

“Jessica,” Whitney said in a low voice.

“It’s been a while, Ms. Larson,” Jessica said with a laugh.

“You’ll be disappointed if you’re calling me today to make fun of me. I’ve been living a good life,” Whitney scoffed.

“It’s not like I had not seen the worst you had been through,” Jessica replied with a smile.

“You…”

Just when Whitney was about to hang up, Jessica asked casually, “Do you still want to be Yves’ fiancée?”

That indeed caught Whitney’s attention. “What do you mean by that?” she asked.

“I have a way to remove the poison from Yves’ body. I’ll pass you the medicine, and you can pass it to the Harrod family. What do you think about that?”

“Do you think I’ll believe what you just said? There’s no way I’ll fall for your trap!”

Despite what Whitney said, Jessica knew that she was tempted and was giving it a thought.

“Oh, I forgot to let you know one thing. I’m the daughter of the Ferguson family. My brother is Sebastian Ferguson. I’m sure you’ve heard of him. He’s the one who got me the medicine.”

“Hah! Thanks for your offer but we’ll just buy it directly from him.”

Jessica laughed. “Aren’t you just so innocent? You won’t be able to buy it no matter how hard you try if I say no.”

Whitney tried hard to control her anger. She knew she had no choice but to believe Jessica, but she just could not stand how cocky Jessica was acting.

“What do you want me to do?”

“Let’s meet at Oaktree Cafe at half-past two the day after tomorrow. Do not let anyone know about this, or I’ll cancel our agreement. Of course, you can choose not to believe me. However, do not blame me and say that I’ve never given you a chance.”

“All right,” Whitney agreed reluctantly. “Are you sure your brother can help?”

The medicine was actually a special product Jessica got from her friend.

“If he can’t do it, no one else can.”

“I’ll believe you just this once then.”

Once Jessica hung up, she called Raymond right away.

The conversation between them lasted for more than an hour at that time.

Two days later, Jessica took out a bottle of marijuana from her locked drawer.

Holding the bottle in her hand, she smiled cunningly and said, “It’s time to end this all!”

Jessica then got up and left.

The bottle was put back on the vanity table instead of the drawer.

A light breeze blew off a piece of paper from the table onto the floor. Two names were written right in the middle of the paper, Julianna and Whitney!

Chapter 397

At Oaktree Cafe, only a few customers could be spotted chilling inside.

Behind the counter, the waiter occasionally gazed at the main door. Taking a glance at his watch, he realized it was almost 2:30 in the afternoon. She should be here soon.

Instantly, he became attentive. His eyes were glued to the door.

Jessica was sitting at a corner of the street. It was a perfect spot for her to scrutinize the scene.

Soon, a taxi halted in front of the cafe. A young girl then got out of the car. It was Whitney.

Whitney lifted her head and looked at the signboard. After confirming the location, she walked into the cafe in her high heels.

At the same time, Raymond pushed open the lounge door. He nodded at the waiter who had been eyeing the door, “Menu, please.”

A waitress immediately approached him and said, “Sir, how can I help you?”

Raymond waved his hand, trying to dismiss her. The next second, he pointed to the waiter he had nodded at and questioned, “Can’t I have him get me the menu instead?”

Seeing that Raymond was boiling with rage, the waiter immediately jogged toward the lounge with a smile after letting out a sigh.

Whitney pushed open the main door and stepped into the cafe when the waiter had entered the lounge.

“Hello, Miss. Do you have an appointment?”

“Yes, under Camille.”

The waitress ushered her to the lounge booked under Camille’s name.

As Jessica left her seat and walked toward the cafe, she sent a message to Raymond.

After receiving the message, Raymond did not pester the waiter anymore.

The waiter stepped out of the lounge. Feeling displeased, he almost cursed at Raymond.

When he spotted Jessica at the main door, he welcomed her passionately after confirming she was the one he was told to be on the lookout for.

“Hello, do you have an appointment?”

“Yes, under Camille.” Jessica smiled when responding to him.

“This way, please.”

“It’s fine. I am familiar with the way. I am a bit thirsty. Could you get me a pot of long black? Be quick, please.” Jessica took a 20-dollar bill from her handbag and tipped him upon finishing her sentence.

The waiter immediately accepted the tip from Jessica. He smiled and answered, “Sure, Miss. Just a second.”

The waiter turned away and left to prepare the coffee. Jessica continued to walk until she reached the lounge reserved under Camille’s name. She stood still and waited for the waiter to bring her coffee.

“Just hand me the coffee. Unless it’s necessary, please do not knock on the door,” Jessica ordered.

“Yes, I understand.” The waiter once again accepted another 20-dollar tip. Then he continued, “Do you need my help with the door?”

“It’s fine. Leave it,” Jessica said coldly.

Just then, another lounge door was pushed open by Raymond. Raymond called to the waiter, “Hey you, come over here.”

His impoliteness instantly ruined the waiter’s good mood.

When the waiter left, Jessica turned and entered the lounge before her. She placed the coffee on the table.

Whitney lifted her wrist and took a glance at her watch, then said, “You’re late.”

“Just for a few minutes.”

“Just say it. What do you need me to do for you to give me the medication?” Whitney asked impatiently.

Jessica slowly filled up both their cups with the coffee. Then, she placed one of the cups in front of Whitney and said, “Of course, it’s something that can’t be done without you.”

Out of the blue, Jessica slapped her forehead. “I’m so forgetful. I’ve left something in my car. Please wait for me. I’ll be back in a second.”

Whitney held back the urge to roll her eyes in front of Jessica. “Please be quick. My time is precious.”

“Don’t worry. I’ll be quick.”

Jessica grinned and shut the lounge door before she left.

田

Chapter 398

Jessica went to the bathroom so she could avoid the crowd. Then, she left the place using the back door.

Once she had left, Raymond let the waiter who had been spying on her off.

The waiter fished out his phone and sent Julianna a text message.

Instantly, he received a reply from Julianna.

Do it now!

The waiter walked to Camille’s lounge. He took out a key from his pocket and locked the door after ensuring that no one was watching him at that time.

The people in the lounge frowned when they heard the noise. The moment they stood up, they felt dizzy.

“Someone spiked the coffee!”

They started slumping onto the ground.

Suddenly, a fire started at a corner in the kitchen of Oaktree cafe. In no time, the fire enveloped the whole kitchen.

When the plumes of smoke started to hover over the counter then to the lounge, people began to discover the fire.

They shouted hurriedly, “There’s a fire! Get out of here!”

Raymond casually followed the crowd who were leaving the cafe. The waiter who had been keeping an eye on Whitney was the last in the line. After the fire had spread to Camille’s lounge, the waiter finally left with a satisfied look.

Before he stepped out, he shouted, “Is there anyone else inside?”

No one answered. Only the crackling of the fire could be heard.

After the waiter dashed out of the burning building, the manager asked him, “Is there anybody left behind?”

He shook his head and answered, “Nope. I shouted many times, but there wasn’t any response. Everyone should have exited the building.”

The manager breathed out a sigh of relief upon hearing that, but his heart ached when he looked at the cafe that was engulfed by the fire.

The cafe was an antique building. Hence, the interior decor was mostly made up of wood, and wood caught fire easily.

The blazing fire garnered many people’s attention.

A woman was spotted in the crowd. Staring at the fire, she tugged the corners of her lips into a smirk.

Jessica, don’t ever blame me for this. You shouldn’t even have existed in this world. You should have died twenty years ago. You’ve lived for another twenty years. Be grateful for it.

Julianna giggled with glee. The worries she had for all these years all vanished at this moment. She instantly felt relieved.

While she was focusing on the burning building, a slender figure appeared beside her silently. A cold voice then rang in her ears.

“Mrs. Larson, what made you so happy?”

When Julianna heard her voice, she immediately turned around to seek the source of the voice. She saw Jessica smiling at her. The smile on her face was charming and enchanting, but she could not feel the sincerity behind the smile. Instead, the smile sent a shiver down her spine.

“Y-you…” Julianna’s voice trembled in fear.

How could she be here?

Jessica widened her eyes innocently and questioned, “Mrs. Larson, why are you shocked to see me? I thought we scheduled to meet here?”

Julianna responded with an awkward smile. She started to regain her composure. Then, she said calmly, “We certainly have.”

Suddenly, Jessica bent down and hushed in her ears, “Are you surprised that I am not inside? I have good news for you. There is someone else in Camille’s Lounge. Do you know who?”

Julianna widened her eyes when Jessica finished talking.

In a split second, she dashed toward the Oaktree Cafe, pushing the crowd aside.

The manager instantly blocked her way and said, “Don’t go. It’s risky.”

Julianna yelled at him furiously, “My daughter is still inside. Please save her!”

Chapter 399

The cafe manager froze for a second and said, “There’s no one inside. You should give your daughter a call. Perhaps she’s somewhere else.”

The waiter, who was spying, didn’t know who Julianna was. They had only talked through the phone and never in real life.

When he heard her scream, the waiter thought she was Jessica’s mother. He felt too guilty to look her in the eye.

Julianna struggled violently and shouted, “She’s inside the lounge. Somebody save her. Quick.”

The people around were gossiping with each other, yet no one dared to enter.

The cafe was swallowed whole by the fire. It would be mad to enter, and no one would take a risk with their life on the line.

“The fire is too strong. No one is crazy enough to go inside.”

“You’re only looking for trouble if you go in.”

“But if someone’s really inside, the odds are against us rather than in our favor.”

“This is heartbreaking.”

At this moment, the siren of the fire truck could be heard from afar. The fire truck arrived in the blink of an eye, and the crowd made way for it to pass through.

The firefighters moved quickly.

When Julianna saw the firefighters, she broke away from the cafe manager and dashed toward the firefighters. “I beg you. Please save my daughter. Please.”

The firefighters made it their top priority when they heard that there was someone inside. They started discussing their plan to enter the fire.

Julianna looked at the two firefighters hopelessly as they got into the fire.

The rest of the team was extinguishing the fire from the outside. They were working together on both sides.

Jessica stood in the crowd. She looked at the scene, unbothered. She was staring at Julianna, who looked desperate, in front of her.

Forty minutes had passed, and the fire had been extinguished. The firefighters carried a burned corpse out of the building.

When Julianna saw the body, her legs gave way, and she collapsed onto the floor.

She crawled to the body and sobbed her heart out.

“Whitney, my sweet child. Now that you’re dead, what am I supposed to do?! Whitney…”

The crowd was moved by Julianna’s cries. They had an empathetic expression on their faces.

Jessica looked at the woman on the floor before turning her back and leaving.

At that moment, Julianna got up suddenly and dashed toward Jessica.

“Murderer! You murderer!”

Before she even got to Jessica, she was stopped by Raymond. He grabbed her hands to prevent her from moving forward.

Jessica heard the commotion. She turned to look at

Julianna. Then, taking two steps forward, she whispered in her ear, “You’re the one who took your own daughter’s life. You’re the one who did all this. Whitney probably doesn’t know that her own mother is the one who killed her. Fortunately, she died while she was unconscious, instead of knowing that she would be burned alive. Julianna, what goes around comes around. Karma’s a bitch!”

She turned her back and left after saying that. The person Julianna cared most about was Whitney. Her only concern in this world was Whitney. To end the life of someone most precious to her, only those who had experienced it would understand the feeling of despair.

Raymond looked at her anguish and let go of her hands.

Julianna staggered a few steps backward and chuckled. Her laughter got louder gradually, and she suddenly rushed to a person. With her eyes wide open, she said, “I killed my daughter. I killed her. I’m the one who did it. Hahaha! I’m the one who killed my daughter. It’s me. I’m the one…”

The person who got caught by her was shocked and pushed her away.

The people kept their distance when they saw her approaching. They looked at her as if she was a maniac.

Chapter 400

“Is this woman crazy?”

“She’s out of her mind.”

“It’s too much to take in for her. That’s why she’s gone mad.”

Everyone was talking about Julianna. She was sitting beside the burned corpse while crying and laughing at the same time. She looked as if she had gone nuts. The people around couldn’t help but sigh while looking at her.

Half a month later, there was a woman with messy hair on the sidewalk. She was sitting on the ground full of dirt, digging through a garbage bin, searching for food.

She found a piece of stale bread from the garbage bin and shoved it into her mouth. With a silly smile on her face, she ate half of it.

A homeless man then snatched the bread from her mouth. The woman tried to get it back, but she got a good thrashing from the homeless man instead.

The woman fell to the ground, her body trembling in pain.

The homeless man stopped. He spat on her head, cursed at her, and left.

The woman raised her head. She looked like a zombie, with traces of blood on her dirty face and her soulless eyes. She limped heavily and mumbled, “I’m the one who killed her. I killed her. It was me…”

A short distance away from the woman stood a slender figure. She was looking coldly at the filthy madwoman at the garbage dump.

Jessica walked toward her slowly. She looked down at the woman slumped in the corner. She didn’t care if the woman noticed her presence and said, “Since you’re already mad, remain this way for the rest of your life.”

Jessica stared at her for a while, but the woman gave no reaction.

She turned away from her and left, not wanting to stay any longer.

After Jessica left, the figure slumped in the corner and moved slightly.

Jessica walked out of the alley and walked to the Rolls-Royce parked at the side of the road. She got into the car, and Charles was in the back seat.

“Drive!”

The car drove away slowly, leaving the filthy street behind until it could no longer be seen.

An hour later, Jessica arrived at Horington Airport. When she got out of the car, Samantha hurried to her and hugged her. She complained in her ear softly, “I couldn’t be there to pick you up because of Uncle Charles.”

Charles stared at her coldly. “Just because you lowered your voice doesn’t mean I can’t hear you.”

Jessica smiled.

Samantha stuck her tongue out at Charles.

“Let’s go!”

An hour later, a private jet flew over Horington City and was heading toward its destination.

It would be a fresh start for Jessica.

Meanwhile, two men in black walked into the alley of Horington City, where homeless people gathered.

“That’s her?” one of the men asked.

The other man kicked the woman over so that she was lying on the ground.

The man used the tip of his shoe to move the woman’s hair away from her face.

They compared her to a photo to verify her identity.

“It’s her!”

The man took out his phone and gave someone a call. Soon, a group of people walked into the alley.

The woman was unaware that danger was approaching. She muttered, “It’s me. I’m the one who killed my daughter. Whitney, it’s my fault. Hahaha, I killed her. I’m the one who killed her.”

When the group of people arrived, a pitiful cry could be heard from the alley, but the sound faded in an instant.

The group of people left quickly after twenty minutes. The madwoman was left handicapped at the end of the alley. Her arms and legs were useless now and her tongue was broken. She had lost the ability to speak and write. She had completely become a worthless person.
