Obsessed With Her Novel by Master Momo (Chapters 501, 502, 503, 504, 505, 506, 507, 508, 509, 510)

Chapter 501

When Raymond heard the explosion, his chest tightened. “Charles, is everything okay?” he asked anxiously.

Charles dusted off the debris on him, then turned to the men next to him and said, “Lure them into the river. Team Two, get ready to move out in five minutes.”

“Roger,” they chorused.

Then, Charles said into the phone, “Run a check on Julianna’s brothers and keep a close eye on Jessica.”

“Okay,” Raymond started to reply, but Charles had already hung up.

Raymond was a little envious of his counterparts who could follow Charles around. On the contrary, he could only stay in the country and handle trivial tasks.

I want some excitement!

Sighing, Raymond dialed Jessica’s number.

“Mr. Lacoy,” she said.

Raymond cleared his throat. “Ms. Jessica, I have some bad news.”

“Just say it,” Jessica replied.

“Someone broke Julianna’s arms and legs,” he said, “and cut off her tongue.”

“Who was it? When did it happen?” she asked.

“Half a year ago, just after you left Horington. I’m sorry. My subordinate was careless in performing his duty and kept it from me,” he explained.

She was silent for two seconds before she replied, “Maybe it was heaven’s will!”

She had long been suspicious that there was more to what happened all those years ago.

Now, she was sure that her separation from her family was not accidental. It was premeditated.

When she returned to her apartment building, she heard someone call urgently from behind, “Wait!”

Jessica turned around and saw a woman rushing toward her.

When the door to the apartment building swung shut behind the woman, she looked up in relief.

“Thank you,” Vivian said. Suddenly, her eyes lit up. “It’s you! Rayleigh!”

The mention of that name jogged Jessica’s memories, and she remembered who the woman was.

“What a coincidence!” said Jessica.

“Are you a resident here, too?” Vivian asked.

“Yes. I just moved in.”

“No wonder I haven’t bumped into you before this,” Vivian replied with a smile.

They got into the elevator.

Seeing the multiple bags in Vivian’s hands, Jessica asked, ” Which floor are you heading to?”

“The twenty-second floor.”

Jessica pressed the button for the 22nd floor. Noticing that Jessica did not press any other buttons, Vivian asked in surprise, “Do you live on the 22nd floor, too?”

She nodded.

“What a coincidence indeed! I never expected my wealthy neighbor to be you!” Vivian exclaimed.

“Wealthy?” Jessica echoed.

Vivian looked puzzled as she asked, “Didn’t you buy that apartment?”

Jessica shook her head.

Realization dawned on Vivian’s face.

“I’m telling you, you got your money’s worth and then some by renting that apartment. Your landlord sure is wealthy for spending twice the market price to purchase that apartment. There was no skimping on the renovations, either. It uses the most environmentally friendly materials. I’ve always been curious about what my wealthy neighbor looked like, but no one moved in for half a year. After spending that much money, I would’ve thought the owner would stay here,” she said.

Jessica was stunned. She did not have to give it much thought to guess why Jack bought the suite.

Jack, you really are a prodigal!

At the same time, she was a little moved by his actions. However, when she thought about how much money had been squandered just like that, her heart ached.

“Let me help you with your bags,” she offered.

“That’s quite all right,” Vivian replied, declining her offer. “I’m no weakling. What happened before was just an accident. I didn’t expect those people would behave so despicably. I didn’t have any of the drinks they brought over, but I still fell into their trap.”

The mere thought of the incident made Vivian furious.

Chapter 502

“We learn from our mistakes. Just be careful next time,” Jessica said.

Vivian nodded. They continued chatting all the way.

In the time that it took to reach their apartments, Vivian recounted the story of how her best friend had betrayed her. She also revealed how she had gotten back at her friend. Vivian was still prattling away when Jessica stood in front of her apartment. “This is my apartment,” she said meaningfully.

Vivian widened her eyes as if she had just awoken from a dream. She laughed at herself, then replied, “I was talking so much that I forgot.”

“Would you like to come in?” Jessica asked.

Vivian lifted the bags in her hands before saying, “Let me put down my things first,” she said.

She rushed toward her apartment, disappeared inside, dumped her bags on the floor, and rushed back out.

Jessica had left the door to her apartment ajar.

When Vivian walked into the apartment, her eyes widened in shock.

“Wow! This interior design is gorgeous! Oh, my goodness, I love it!” she exclaimed.

“What would you like to drink?” asked Jessica.

“Just water,” Vivian answered, not seeming to care about what she drank. The luxurious couch had captured her gaze.

She walked slowly to the couch and then sat down gently.

It was so comfortable that she almost wanted to sleep on it.

She ran her hands over the couch, thinking how much it must have cost.

Look at all this! This marble, the couch covered with genuine leather, that top-of-the-range audio system, and the hand-woven carpet… Oh, it must have cost a bomb! All that money! Everything about this apartment screams wealth.

Jessica walked over with two glasses of water and joined her on the couch.

“Jess, as I said earlier, you really got a good bargain renting this place. Everything in this apartment is top-of-the-line,” Vivian said. As she turned her head, she caught sight of the trash can in the corner. “Damn! Even the trash can is from a designer brand. One costs more than three thousand dollars!”

“It’s that expensive?” Jessica exclaimed.

She had failed to notice any of that.

After all, she had only arrived the previous night and then left in a hurry.

“Do you know how much this couch we’re sitting on costs?” Vivian held up three fingers and announced dramatically,” More than 300,000 dollars! And that audio system over there is more than 100,000 dollars. As for that cabinet…”

As Vivian reported the cost of every item in the apartment, Jessica was dumbfounded.

While she was surprised at the exorbitant prices, she was even more shocked that Vivian knew the price of every item as well as she knew the back of her own hand.

Based on Vivian’s rough estimation, the apartment and everything in it were worth over two million dollars.

“Your landlord is surely a rich person. I really want to get to know the person,” Vivian said with a sigh of longing.

“Vivian, what do you work as?” Jessica asked curiously.” Why do you know all this?”

Vivian chuckled and said, “I only know a little because of my work. I’m a screenwriter and a part-time novelist. I’m about to start work on a novel titled “The Domineering CEO Loves Me”. It’s going to be a masterpiece. I’ve been spending my time gathering research material for it, and I stumbled across a gem yesterday.”

“Do you know the founder of Fairview Investment?” she asked excitedly. Without waiting for an answer, she continued, “That person is a genius! As soon as he came of age, he conquered Wale Street. He even earned the nickname ‘the Wolf of Wall Street.’ His company’s

performance is just as impressive. Within a few short years, its value has increased by a hundredfold. He is absolutely incredible!”

After a brief pause, she continued gushing, “Gosh, he’s just too handsome. I love him to bits! I’m going to make him the male lead in my novel.”

Jessica suddenly posed a random question. “What if he’s not that good-looking?” she asked.

Vivian laughed and replied, “Easy. I’ll use his identity and pair it with the celebrity Jack Ferguson’s face. Then, we’ll have the perfect male lead. What do you think? Isn’t that a wonderful idea?”

Chapter 503

Proud of herself, Vivian flashed a smug look.

“Hmm. Great idea, indeed,” said Jessica.

It has to be the best idea! By combining Hugh’s identity and background as well as Jack’s face, the perfect male protagonist is born!

“I’m going to work at Fairview Investment in two days,” Vivian said.

“Work? Aren’t you a novelist?” Jessica couldn’t keep up with the sudden change of topic.

Vivian took a sip of water and continued, “I’m going there to gather materials for the novel. Of course, I have to observe how my male protagonist does his work and how an investment company works. I was hired as the CEO’s assistant. Now, I can observe him closely.”

Looking at how passionate she was about the novel, Jessica admired Vivian’s determination and tenacity. “Then are you leaving for Marsingfill in two days?”

“No. Fairview Investment has a new branch in Dellmoor. Hugh will be staying at Dellmoor until the branch company stabilizes. During that period, I’ll have sufficient time to observe him,” Vivian replied confidently.

“Good luck. I know you can do it!” Upon hearing that, Jessica encouraged Vivian from the bottom of her heart.

“I’ll invite you to a feast when my novel is published,” declared Vivian ambitiously.

“Okay.”

On the other hand, somewhere in Bera, the smell of gunpowder filled the air.

Trucks were entering a certain base one by one. Everyone in the trucks got off with faces covered in blood; they were severely wounded.

Inside the middle building of the base, a few injured men were brought into a room and forced to kneel on the floor.

“Boss, both cities of Kenfort and Tayhaven have been captured. None of our lower-ranked soldiers survived.” Sitting in his seat, a bearded man glared maliciously at the two men kneeling before him and shouted, “Useless idiots!” When one man on the floor saw the bearded man, Clarkson Emerson, taking out the gun, he shuddered with fear and quickly explained, “The men from the King Syndicate were too strong and cunning. We were no match for them at all.” Bang! Immediately afterward, a bullet penetrated his head. The man who was talking just a second ago had collapsed on the floor with his eyes widened.

Then, the vicious glare of Clarkson was fixed on another person, who started pleading for his life with a pale face. “Boss, have mercy, please!”

Another gunshot was heard moments later.

Staring at the lifeless bodies, Clarkson waved his hand. His subordinates immediately dragged the bodies out. Their action resulted in a bloody trail on the floor.

“Damn it!”

Furious, he trampled on the things around him.

King, that damned guy! How dare he conquer two cities that belonged to me and sacrifice my men!

“Boss, let me lead a team. I’ll give them a lesson.” The next moment, a tough guy volunteered himself.

Hearing that, Clarkson glared at him intimidatingly and said, “Indeed, it’s time for us to show him who’s the boss. He needs to know this is our territory, not Epea.”

The moment he finished speaking, a small-sized missile landed on the building.

Boom!

A loud bang, followed by a shower of sparks, set the camp into utter chaos.

Countless people took out their guns after they regained their senses.

“We’re under attack! I repeat. We’re under attack!”

Those with quick reflexes managed to take out their guns to defend themselves.

On the contrary, those who were slow-witted were defeated in an instant.

Immediately, a ruthless war started in the Gablurg desert and gunshots could be heard everywhere.

Chapter 504

The next moment, a shower of bullets struck the battlefield.

It was a cold and merciless war.

Underneath the ruins of what used to be the base, a man crawled out with his body covered in blood, looking all filthy – Clarkson managed to survive the missile attack. Moments later, he shook his head and observed the surroundings. Most of his men were already defeated and his enemies were marching closer toward him.

Evidently, he knew he would be dead if he remained here.

After coughing out a mouthful of blood, he decided to bring a few trusted subordinates with him. Together, they escaped frantically.

An hour later, a bulletproof vehicle arrived at the destroyed base, where dozens of people with masked faces had gathered with guns in their hands.

Moments later, Charles exited the car leisurely. A subordinate went up to him and reported respectfully,” Boss, we couldn’t locate Clarkson’s body. He probably survived the attack and escaped.”

Listening to the report, Charles narrowed his eyes and glanced at the captives crouching in a corner with hands on their head.

Next, he cast his subordinate a look. The latter understood immediately. He stepped forward and pointed the gun at the captives.

“Where is Clarkson?”

All of them shook their heads without saying a word.

Seeing that they would not answer his question, he snorted and removed the safety trigger.

“This is your last chance. I’ll let you all live if you tell me the whereabouts of Clarkson. Or else…” He paused and did not continue as it was obvious how the sentence would end.

“Hmph, it seems like all of you aren’t afraid of death. I’ll grant your wish, then.”

One of the captives started to speak under the pressure of having a gun pointed at his head. “We don’t know. Our boss never tells us anything. Only two of his most trusted subordinates know of his whereabouts.”

No matter how much they forced the captives to speak, they could not get the answers they wanted.

Unwilling to waste any more time, Charles waved his hand, signaling his subordinates to stop.

Charles then instructed his subordinate, Jayce Lafield, “I’ll leave this to you, the rest of you can head back.”

Following his orders, all the armored vehicles left the base. Soon after, a deafening blast could be heard.

Not long after that, Jayce caught up with the team. Meanwhile, inside a nondescript wooden house, Clarkson and his subordinates were hiding in the basement.

Lying on the couch, he panted heavily with a darkened expression.

One of his subordinates who had gone out for

reconnaissance earlier came back in a hurry. Although he was thirsty and his forehead was beaded with sweat, he did not dare to drink any water before reporting to Clarkson.

“Boss, King’s subordinates are currently executing a large-scale search. We must stay inside for now.”

Hearing that, Clarkson gritted his teeth and yelled, “King!”

At that moment, his satellite phone rang.

“Who is this?”

Shortly afterward, a hoarse voice could be heard on the other end of the phone. “Never have I thought that the infamous Clarkson Emerson would become such a pathetic loser one day.”

Instantaneously, Clarkson’s face darkened. “Who are you?”

“I’m here to help you.”

“Help me?” Clarkson scoffed.

“Don’t you want to get your revenge on King?”

“Why should I believe you?”

Clarkson was no fool. Do you think I’m an idiot? There’s no free lunch in this world. I won’t be tricked again.

“You don’t have a choice. If you don’t want to be exterminated by King, you have to cooperate with me. I’ll avenge you.”

“What about you? What do you get from it?”

“Hahaha. I just want to see the arrogant King suffer. I feel happy whenever he is racked with pain.”

“Do you think you can convince me with such a reason?” “It’s up to you to believe it or not.”

Before Clarkson could ask another question, the call was cut off.

Three days later, Clarkson received a photo of a beautiful Chanaea girl…

Chapter 505

Clarkson clutched the photo with gloved hands while staring intently at the girl in the picture. “Who is this?” Clarkson stared at his subordinates. Trembling in fear, one of them answered, “Someone stuffed it into my pocket today, and I don’t know who did that.”

Clarkson did not find anything suspicious after scrutinizing the picture for some time.

Just then, the satellite phone rang.

“Who is it?”

“Have you seen the picture?”

Clarkson could not make out the gender of the person who was speaking through the phone. He replied, “It’s you.”

“You did not forget me, Mr. Emerson.”

“What do you want?” Clarkson’s face darkened.

It was a terrible feeling to be targeted by someone else.

“Mr. Clarkson, I’m here to cooperate with you. King is very fond of the woman in that picture. You’ll be able to grab hold of his weakness once you’ve taken control of that girl.”

The person on the other end of the line was trying to bait Clarkson.

Clarkson chuckled, then he continued, “Are you kidding me? Will King admit defeat just for a girl?”

King is a formidable man. It will be ridiculous if he compromises for a girl. Girls aren’t something essential for him. They are just secondary.

“You’ll know when you give it a try.”

Clarkson leaned back and said, “Why should I listen to you? Am I your subordinate?”

This person has got some guts!

Clarkson hung up the call instantly.

On the other side of the line, that mysterious guy was not irritated when the call ended abruptly.

He dialed again after 15 minutes.

“You bastard! Aren’t you done with your nonsense yet?” Clarkson was boiling with rage.

If that mysterious guy were beside him at the time, a bullet would have penetrated his brain instead of mere scolding.

That guy remained calm and unperturbed. “Mr. Emerson, calm down. Since you don’t believe me, let’s make a deal then. I’ll pay you a huge amount of money once you have kidnapped that girl. How’s that?”

That’s more like it.

“How much?” Clarkson queried.

“500 thousand dollars.”

“1 million dollars,” Clarkson demanded.

“Deal. I’ll transfer the money to you after the task is done.”

“No. You should deposit 500 thousand dollars first.”

Clarkson sat with his legs crossed. He was confident that the other person would compromise. “Okay.”

Upon hearing this, Clarkson laughed and replied, “I look forward to working with you.”

He should’ve said that earlier instead of baiting me to be free labor. I’m not that gullible.

Clarkson summoned three of his subordinates. They stood still in front of him.

“Boss.”

Clarkson held his cigar in one hand. With his other hand, he fished out a stack of dollar bills and smacked it on the table.

“Smuggle to Chanaea and bring me this girl. Her details are in this bag. Don’t return until the task is completed.”

Clarkson was dead serious.

“Yes, Boss.”

They left with the money.

On the other hand, on the private island, a handsome blond-haired guy was lying on a chair comfortably. Five stunning girls were surrounding him.

Two of the girls kneeled on the ground, massaging his legs; one was feeding him fruits; one was

feeding him liquor; one was massaging his shoulders.

That guy was enjoying their services like a king.

A tall and toned guy approached him, then he bent down and said politely, “Boss, Clarkson had accepted the task.”

“Okay.” The blond-haired guy let out a puff of cigar smoke and continued, “Wait for him to complete the task, then our people will take over.”

“Roger that.”

That guy took a few steps backward with respect and left the scene.

The blond-haired guy embraced the beauty by his side into his arms and nibbled her cheek.

Chapter 506

In Chanaea.

The popular variety show “I’m the Ruler of My Design” was in the process of filming. Jessica utilized trendy elements in her design concepts. She managed to finish her design before the production team started to film her part.

The filming was carried out successfully without interruptions.

During the second filming, Jessica could feel that she was treated differently by other people, especially the

participants.

“Jess, I am so nervous. Are you nervous?” Nicole leaned over to her side.

“I’m okay.”

John sat to her other side and said, “I look forward to your design.”

“I also look forward to your designs, Jessica replied with a smile.

The rest of the participants would give her a smile upon seeing her.

A drastic change was noted as compared to the first shooting.

When Jessica exited the washroom, she heard Nicole’s voice from the stairway.

“Look at her calmness. It is evident that she’s using a backdoor.”

“Previously, I thought that she would have been eliminated in the first round. Looking back, I was too innocent at that time.”

“Tracy, I’m certain you can advance to the final round. I’m so worried about myself. If I’m eliminated because of my incompetence, I’ll accept my fate without any complaints. But if it is because of someone who’s using the backdoor, I’ Il not be willing to accept the result.”

Chapter 506 A Timid Assistant

Tracy patted her chest and said, “Alright. Since you have participated, let’s try our best to advance to the final round.”

“It’s unfair since she has an influential background,” Nicole scoffed. “Even the director is on her side. I wonder what her identity is.”

“I’m not sure too,” said Tracy.

“I have an idea but it might sound crazy. Could it be this show was a project to make Jessica popular? And we’re just her stepping stones.”

The more she thought about it, the more likely it seemed. “If you’re scared, you can choose to forfeit now,” Tracy suggested.

“I wish I could quit now. But I can’t afford the penalty for the breach of contract.”

Upon overhearing their conversation, Jessica finally understood their sudden change of attitude.

The filming finally ended. Jessica successfully advanced to the next round. Most of the participants were still having some misunderstandings regarding her advancement.

The people were unconvinced and extremely unhappy about their elimination.

They were displeased because of Jessica.

However, they were all adults. They would rather remain in silence when they had doubts; no one dared to say anything about that.

Following several filmings, Jessica advanced again and again.

During the finals, the last four people would be competing for the champion title.

The moment Jessica and Benny stepped out of the elevator, a young lady wearing black-framed spectacles with her head lowered collided with Jessica. The documents in her arms scattered onto the ground.

Immediately, the girl apologized to Jessica, “I’m so sorry.” “It’s fine.”

Jessica and Benny bent down and helped her pick up her documents.

Jessica took a quick glance at the documents; she found out they were sketches. As she took a closer look, she questioned the girl, “Are you Tracy’s assistant?”

She became flustered and nodded.

“I’ve never seen you before.”

“I-I don’t come here often.”

Jessica handed her the documents, and then she said, “Be careful next time. Raise your head when you’re walking, or you’ll bang your head on something.”

“Thank you,” she responded timidly.

When Jessica and Benny got into the car, the car started moving. Jessica took a glance at the rearview mirror, and she saw Tracy pointing at that girl. Tracy was scolding her assistant with a malicious look.

Chapter 507

Jessica moved her gaze away, having a new understanding of Tracy.

Jessica and Tracy were merely acquaintances, even though they had recorded a few episodes together.

Tracy never tried to sweet-talk Jessica, even while knowing of the latter’s supposedly powerful backing.

She used to think that Tracy had a cold yet graceful demeanor, but seeing how mean Tracy was toward the assistant had gotten her to reevaluate her impression of the other woman.

The organizer did not provide a theme for the final season. Instead, they requested designers to get creative and go freestyle.

The design that won first place would be promised a spot in the International Mallory Design Competition.

The International Mallory Design Competition was considered the most prestigious and esteemed competition within the industry.

It was not just anyone who could join the competition. Only the leading designers in the country were qualified.

For Jessica, this was the type of accomplishment and challenge she hoped for.

But which design to go for?

Jessica knew what would be trendy for the next 7 years, be it the fashion elements or high-end designer clothing brands. Despite that, she had never once thought of using them for her benefit.

This knowledge might bring her luxury and glory in the

short term, but the moment she used them up would mark an end to her career.

Besides, Jessica was not the kind of person to plagiarize one’s work.

Designing something requires creativity and inspiration.

Jessica ended up brainstorming ideas for her draft the whole day, locked up in her house.

She sketched countless drafts, which then became crumpled paper, tossed on the floor.

Ding dong!

The doorbell kept on ringing.

Vivian stood there looking grim as Jessica opened the door.

“What’s wrong?”

Vivian hugged her and burst into tears. “Jess, you wouldn’t believe it! I got… I got…”

Jessica pulled her away and asked, “You got what?”

Feeling flustered, Vivian picked up a soft pillow and tossed it aside. “I got fired! Fired!”

“Wait, what?!”

“Me, Vivian Wilde, an esteemed screenwriter and author, got fired!” cried Vivian as she tried to calm her nerves. “I was an assistant, which means doing miscellaneous chores and tending to people’s needs. They then told me I was not suitable for the job all of a sudden. All I did was take a few peeks at Hugh during work! How dare they say that I was shooting him perverted looks?! That I wasn’t here to work but to seduce rich men?”

She paused briefly before continuing her rant, “What was worse was them saying that I wasn’t good enough for Hugh! That I shouldn’t be daydreaming of such fantasies. This is outrageous! Don’t you agree? Am I really that bad? I’m rich, I’m pretty, I’m sexy – what else do they want?! If it wasn’t for my career, for my masterpiece, I wouldn’t have stooped so low!”

At this point, Jessica knew it was best to just keep silent and listen to Vivian blabber on.

It took Vivian almost an hour to finish her rambling.

“Well, you’ve been observing for so long. Don’t you think it’s enough?” asked Jessica.

Vivian looked up. “Not at all! I’ve roughly seen how things work, but I still don’t know what Hugh is like in private.

Some people may look mature and serious, but deep down, you never know.”

“What are you up to now?” Jessica had a bad feeling about this.

Vivian laughed cheekily and winked at her. “To fully understand Prince Charming’s personal life, I decided to find a way to infiltrate… no, to legitimately enter his home then his life. So I applied for a job as a housekeeper!” Jessica could only stare at her in shock.

Chapter 508

“Don’t you think my plan is great?” Vivian smiled confidently. “Yeah, great… But what if Hugh decides to kick you out the moment he sees you?”

“I’ll disguise myself, you know, something like Mrs.

Doubtfire? Don’t worry, I’ll make sure not to get caught by him.”

Vivian seemed to brim with confidence.

“I can then finish my masterpiece, right after I’ve collected sufficient materials for it. I’ll treat you to a fancy meal then.” “All right, no problem.”

Jessica was unsure that Vivian’s plan was going to work, and even thought it might backfire.

“By the way, how are you doing in the competition? You did pretty well in the last two episodes.”

“We will be recording the last episode next year.”

“So you’re brainstorming ideas now?” Vivian crossed her legs as she sat down.

“Yep.” Jessica then asked, “What kind of designs do you prefer?”

“I prefer those glimmering, fancy evening gowns that catch everyone’s attention the moment you walk in. Or those graceful dresses that highlight your figure in an alluring manner.”

An idea flashed through Jessica’s mind as she had a lightbulb moment.

“I’m going back to work then. Treat yourself to anything you like in the fridge.”

Jessica rushed back to her studio.

Vivian watched as Jessica left the room. She then cleaned

up the table and left the house.

They might not be in the same field, but when it came to design-related works, they both knew creativity and inspiration were what mattered.

When inspiration hit, one had to immerse themselves in a serene environment so as not to break the train of thought or lose the idea.

Jessica spent the whole night drafting up a series of designs that looked promising. All it needed now was some brush-ups.

She did a stretch while looking at the sunrise through her window.

Just then, her phone rang.

“Jess, it’s New Year’s Eve tomorrow. D…-Do you…” Yusra hesitantly asked, “Do you wanna come home for dinner?” Looking at the calendar, Jessica realized a year had gone by without her noticing.

The bustling traffic outside her house caught her attention as she lost herself in her thoughts.

Hearing no response, Yusra continued, “It’s okay if you don’t want to.”

“I’ll be there.”

Taken aback for a moment, Yusra then replied with a happy tone, “Really? Then I’ll ask your brother to pick you up!”

Aaron looked at his wife as she ended the call. “Is she coming?”

Yusra nodded and turned to shout upstairs, “Which of you want to pick up your sister?”

“I’ll pick her up,” Hugh replied.

“I’ll do it!” Sebastian volunteered as well.

“I’ll go! I’ll go!” So did Jack.

All three came downstairs simultaneously.

Jack gave his brothers a cheeky look. “You guys are the elders. This kind of hard labor should be left to youngsters like me. You guys just have a good rest for all the hard work you’ve been doing.”

“You’re too stupid, so I don’t trust you,” Sebastian replied blankly.

Jack was speechless.

Where’s the brotherly love?!

“It’s settled then. You guys stay home, and I’ll pick Jess up.”

Hugh spoke assertively, not allowing any room for negotiation.

Yet Jack and Sebastian both ignored him as they walked outside.

Refusing to give in, all three went into the garage and their respective cars.

Soon, all three cars sped off down the road.

Watching her children drive off, Yusra couldn’t help but feel dumbfounded. At the same time, she was relieved at how much they cared for Jessica.

Only Yuliana was unhappy about it. She sat in the corner, feeling disheartened.

Is that woman really coming back

Chapter 509

Three super sports cars sped down the roads that had little traffic.

Since New Year’s Eve was approaching, the number of cars had significantly decreased.

Jack’s car was the fastest. Hence, he was the first to reach the housing district.

He arrived at the entrance, but he did not enter. Instead, he greeted the security guard cheerfully.

“Happy New Year! Oh! Cars that do not belong to our district’s community are not allowed to enter, right?” Jack asked.

“That’s right.”

“That’s good then. Anyone who’s not a part of our district should not be allowed to enter. It’s a little dangerous since it’s New Year’s. We’ll have to rely on you to ensure our safety!” Jack said naturally. Then, he took out the remaining packs of cigars from his car and passed them to the security guard.

The security guard was happy when he noticed that they were Hemiing’s cigars and immediately promised, “Don’t worry. I’ll never let any outsider’s cars into our neighborhood!”

Jack waved and drove into the housing district coolly. Hah! Piece of cake. You guys will never win!

Jack hummed a little tune as he parked his car downstairs.

Just as he swiped his card and was about to head upstairs, he heard the loud revving of sports cars coming from behind him.

Feeling curious, he turned around and saw that it was his two irritating brothers.

Damn it! What a waste of cigars! And the time spent talking to him!

Sebastian and Hugh alighted their cars at the same time and walked toward him.

“How did you get in?”

Sebastian glanced at him but did not say anything. He continued to walk toward him and revealed an access card.

Jack was stunned.

He slowly turned to look at Hugh with an expression that seemed to question if Hugh was a resident as well.

It showed that he was still fearful of his elder brother.

Seeing the both of them enter the corridor, Jack quickly ran after them, and all three of them entered the elevator together.

Damn it. Why are they so cunning?

Jack felt a little disappointed. His earlier sense of accomplishment had vanished.

The doorbell rang three times, and the door was opened.

Jessica was slightly surprised when she saw the three of them. Then, a thought suddenly occurred to her, and she quickly pulled Hugh into the house.

The other two brothers who stood at the door stared at them.

They looked jealous.

“You guys, come in quickly.” Jessica waited for them to enter and looked at the opposite door before quietly shutting hers.

Sigh… Why do I feel a little guilty? I can’t imagine how Vivian will react if she finds out that Hugh and Sebastian are my brothers.

Jessica and her brothers’ ways of thinking were very different.

She had never understood them.

The three brothers noticed she was acting a little unusual.

“What’s up? Did something happen?” Jack asked.

“Nothing.”

However, the three brothers did not believe Jessica and continued to stare at her.

Although they weren’t forcing her to say anything, this feeling of being stared at was worse.

“It’s really nothing. There’s just been a pervert who has been appearing lately,” Jessica said casually.

“A pervert?” Sebastian frowned.

“It’s not safe here. You better move to somewhere else,” Hugh said.

Jack nodded. “Exactly, you should move! It’s too dangerous here.”

Jessica was speechless.

Oh no! I think I might have used the wrong term.

“I’m fine. The problem lies with attractive guys.” Jessica scanned all three of them pointedly.

Hugh, Sebastian, and Jack were speechless.

Jessica noticed their guilty looks and cleared her throat. “I’m just kidding. Actually, my neighbor is Jack’s fan. I think you can imagine the problem, right?”

Hugh and Sebastian glared at Jack.

Poor Jack was being blamed for something that was not entirely his fault.

Chapter 510

The four siblings headed downstairs. Jessica noticed the three sports cars and watched her brothers each opening the door to their car’s front passenger seat.

“Here, Jess. Pick my car.” Jack showed the most enthusiasm.

Sebastian did not say anything.

Hugh laughed. “Go ahead and pick Jack’s car, Jess.”

He decided to use reverse psychology.

Jessica looked at the three of them before deciding to obey Hugh. She walked toward Jack.

Jack was excited. He quickly flashed his brothers a gloating look and closed the car door cheerfully. “We’re leaving!”

The other two watched the sports car speeding off without saying a word. Then, they looked at each other.

“Hugh, looks like your cleverness was your own downfall.”

Jack drove his sports car steadily.

“Jack, I have a question. Did you really not interfere with the competition’s results?” Jessica asked.

“Of course not.”

Jack had only found a way to put her in.

The only major thing he did was to get Jamie replaced when he noticed that he was not behaving. He did not interfere with the production team at all.

“Don’t believe the rumors you hear. You have to believe in yourself. In fact, I have shown your design draft to my good friend who’s abroad. He really likes your style and even asked me for your contact number. Jessica, you’re amazing! You’re definitely no lesser than the others.”

Jessica was actually quite surprised that she was able to proceed to the final stage of the competition.

“The recording of the show should be over after the New Year’s, right?”

“Yes. We will be filming the final episode in a few days.” “Do you have any ideas for the final draft yet?”

I do. I’m planning to use the theme of a starry sky to design a series of evening dresses.”

Tm looking forward to it.”

Jack had confidence in her.

She’s the Ferguson family’s daughter. She’ll definitely do well.

Jack looked proudly at Jessica with an expression that seemed to be showering his sister with praise.

The three cars parked in the garage, and the four siblings walked into the house while chit-chatting.

Yusra came forward and held Jessica’s hand. “Are you hungry, Lilian?”

Aaron did not wait for his wife to order him. He automatically placed a plate of cut fruits in front of the ladies.

Yusra glanced at it briefly. “Fruits are too cold. Jasmine, there’s some mushroom soup in the kitchen. Do get some for Lilian.”

Yusra felt Jessica’s cold hands and was worried. “Let’s get some warm food to fill your stomach.”

Then, she turned to Jack. “Didn’t you turn on the heater? I’ll beat you up if your sister falls sick.”

Jack gave his mother a surprised look.

l did turn it on!

However, he was unable to express his anger toward his mother and had no choice but to shut his mouth.

Fine, just scold me. I’ll get used to it. I’m thick-skinned anyway.

Then, Jasmine reappeared with a bowl of mushroom soup. “Ms. Jessica, Mrs. Ferguson made this mushroom soup herself early this morning. Do give it a try.”

“Thank you, Jasmine.” Jessica took the bowl from her hands and finished the soup under her mother’s watchful eye.

As she swallowed the mushroom soup, it warmed her stomach and even her heart.

Yusra then placed a gift box in front of Jessica and watched her open it. There was a set of clothes in it.

“I don’t know what you preferred, so I picked something every girl would like.”

It was for the New Year’s. Yusra had spent a lot of time trying to pick one.

Then, Jack presented the gift that he had prepared. “Jess, take a look at what I have for you. Do you like it?”

Jessica opened it and saw another set of clothes. “I got my friend to customize them.”
