Chapter 221
“I almost forgot about it. Luckily, you reminded me!” Jack said with a smile.
Many people stared at them when Jessica held Jack’s arm as they entered the hospital.
“Mommy, why is that man wearing a basketball on his head?” a little girl asked her mother.
Her mother chuckled and replied, “That’s not a basketball. It is a helmet. Maybe because his head is too big and it’s stuck, and that’s why he couldn’t remove it.”
Jessica tried to hold back her laughter to avoid hurting Jack’s pride.
However, she failed to do so. In the end, she burst into laughter.
“Haha! Your head is too big!”
Jack was angry yet amused. Upon seeing her smile, he started laughing too.
As long as you feel happy!
When they reached the front desk, one of the nurses looked at them calmly and said, “His head is too big, and he is stuck in the helmet, right?”
Just when Jessica wanted to tell her that was not the case, she heard a chubby nurse shout at the doctor, “Dr. Chris, someone’s head is stuck in the helmet.”
Everyone stared at Jack upon hearing that. Most of them ended up laughing at him.
“I wonder how big his head is to be stuck in the helmet!”
“I’m curious too! How did he put it on in the first place?”
“It’s so comical!”
Jack was frustrated upon hearing all those comments.
When the doctor walked toward them, Jessica quickly explained, “His head is fine. Can you please examine his hand instead?”
Chris stared at Jack for a moment before saying, “Come with me! Since there is nothing wrong with your head, you should remove your helmet.”
“I’m sorry, I can’t remove my helmet at the moment.”
Jack would not remove his helmet no matter what happened at that time.
His image would be ruined if he were to remove it.
Chris did not insist further. He then started treating his wound.
When Chris was almost done with treating Jack, Matthew and the rest arrived at the hospital.
They couldn’t hold back their laughter when they saw Jack with his helmet on.
Jack cared about his image. Hence, it was impossible to
make him wear a helmet and walk around under normal circumstances.
He could let go of his image during shooting.
However, in his daily life, he would protect it at all costs.
As Matthew and the rest laughed, they suddenly felt a chill down their spine. They then turned around and saw Jack glaring at them.
The three of them immediately stopped laughing.
Right at that moment, Matthew received a call. He left the room to answer it. Shortly after, he returned to the room with a stern face.
“What’s wrong, Matthew?”
“Jeanette is injured. She was stabbed by Wilson earlier.”
“What?”
All of them were shocked upon hearing that.
They were on their way to the hospital when that incident happened.
Hence, they only found out about it after the phone call. They were shocked to hear that news.
“Didn’t someone grab hold of him? How did he manage to stab her?”
“He freed himself from the rope. At that time, Jeanette was somewhere near him, and that was why he managed to stab her. He escaped right after the incident.”
“Wilson is insane!”
No one expected a production assistant to hurt both the main casts.
Based on the current situation, the show would definitely be put on hold.
“Is she badly injured?” Jessica asked.
“It sounded quite serious since he stabbed her in the abdomen. I’m not sure what her actual condition is right now.”
While they were talking, the ambulance sirens sounded outside of the hospital.
Chapter 222
“Is that Jeanette?”
It was quite a scene outside the hospital as a few nurses and doctors rushed Jeanette into the emergency room after getting her out of the ambulance.
Matthew and the rest quickly glanced at the patient on the hospital bed. They recognized it was Jeanette.
All of them waited outside of the emergency room.
“The patient has lost too much blood in her abdominal aorta. We need to do a blood transfusion.”
“She has type O blood. I have informed the blood bank.”
When the film crew arrived, Matthew noticed that a lot of onlookers had followed them to the hospital too. They were trying to find out who the injured actress was.
“I heard an actress was sent to hospital earlier.”
“Are you sure?”
“Who is she?”
“It was too crowded earlier, so I didn’t get to see her. I only heard she’s a well-known actress.”
“She seemed to be bleeding heavily. I saw blood on the floor when the ambulance left. I wonder whether she can be saved.”
The crowd started discussing among themselves.
Matthew stared at Jack and said, “The reporters will be coming over shortly. Let’s leave now.”
Both the film producer and director nodded.
“We will stay here. You all should leave first.”
Jack glanced at the emergency room. Then, he turned to them and nodded.
Jessica left together with Jack.
Just when they were almost reaching the elevator, a nurse shouted in the corridor, “Who has type O blood? Our blood bank doesn’t have sufficient blood. We need blood donation now!”
Jessica stopped in her tracks.
“What’s wrong?”
“My blood type is O.”
Jessica only found out that her blood type was O half a year ago when the Larson family showed her the DNA test report.
To her, it was more important to save a life at that moment. She then turned around, and Jack followed suit.
Matthew quickly grabbed his arm and said, “You don’t have type O blood. Why are you following her?”
“I want to wait for Jessica. We came here together. I shouldn’t leave her alone here,” Jack replied. He then ignored Matthew, who was angry, and walked quickly to catch up with Jessica.
“Calm yourself, Matthew!” Jack’s assistant quickly followed the duo.
Matthew let out a sigh. He then murmured, “It is because of a woman.”
Meanwhile, all the film crew staff stared at each other.
Joel said, “I don’t have type O blood.”
“Me too.”
“I’m not sure what my blood type is.”
“I don’t have type O blood too.”
“I’m not sure what my blood type is too.”
The nurse was surprised to see that no one had type O blood.
Right then, Jessica walked toward her and said, “My blood type is O.”
The nurse’s eyes lit up upon hearing that. She then looked at Jessica and the other three staff who didn’t know what their blood types were and said, “Follow me! Let’s do a blood test first.”
They then followed the nurse to the laboratory.
The nurse withdrew some blood from each of them.
“Do I need to do a blood test too?” Jessica asked.
The nurse nodded. “For the sake of safety, you must do it. It is fatal if we accidentally transfuse the wrong type of blood to the patient.”
Jessica nodded.
Although that was troublesome, it was always better to be careful about blood transfusion.
It didn’t take long for the blood test results to come out since it was a simple procedure.
The nurse then brought their test reports to the waiting area and spoke to the two men. “Two of you have type O blood. You are suitable for blood donation.”
She then turned to Jessica and the other man and said, “Both of you have incompatible blood types with the patient.”
Jessica was shocked. She immediately asked, “How’s that possible?!”
Chapter 223
Jessica read her DNA test report carefully in the past. It stated that James’ blood type was O, while Julianna’s blood type was B.
Was there a mistake in my DNA test report? If my blood type isn’t O, does that mean it is type B?
When parents have blood types O and B, their children would have either of those two blood types.
They would not be able to have children with blood types A or AB.
“I’m sorry for the mistake. I think my blood type should be B.”
The nurse was stunned for a moment before she said, “Miss, your blood type is not B. Instead, your blood type is A-negative, which is a very rare blood type. You shouldn’t make a mistake in the future.”
A-negative blood type!
Even if there was a gene mutation, a couple with blood types O and B would never have an A-negative blood type child.
Jessica was stunned for a long time before she spoke with a shaky voice. “Are you sure about this?”
Upon seeing her confused face, the nurse said, “If you don’t believe this test result, I can ask the doctor to do another test for you.”
Jessica returned to her senses and replied, “Yes, please!”
The nurse withdrew her blood for testing again.
Jessica waited quietly in the waiting area. Although it was merely a short time, she felt it had been ages since the nurse left.
When the nurse returned to the waiting area, Jessica lifted her head and stared at her.
The nurse handed her the lab report. “Have a look!”
Jessica took it over from the nurse and stared at it.
Although her lab report was just a piece of paper, it seemed to be weighing heavily on Jessica as she held it in her hands.
The nurse wondered why Jessica looked so serious at that time.
She merely made a mistake regarding her blood type. Why does it seem like a big issue to her? Is it because she can’t accept the fact that she has a rare blood type? Although it is a rare blood type, it is strange that she reacted in that way.
The nurse then left Jessica alone in the waiting area.
While staring at the results of her lab report, Jessica’s heart sank further.
“A-negative blood type. What a joke!” Jessica smiled bitterly.
If James’ and Julianna’s blood types were tested correctly, it meant that she was not their daughter.
Another explanation would be that she was the daughter of Julianna with another man.
Am I an illegitimate child? No, I don’t think so. I believe the possible explanation would be…
Jessica was determined to find out both James’ and Julianna’s blood types.
Maybe one of them was mistaken about their blood types?
Jessica calmed herself down. She already had a plan in her mind.
She then left the waiting area with her lab report.
When Jack saw her, he realized she looked a bit weird. However, he didn’t think much about that as he thought it was due to the earlier blood test.
“You will feel weaker after a blood test. You should sit down and rest,” Jack said.
Jessica shook her head and replied, “I have something else to attend to. I’ll leave first.”
Without waiting for Jack’s reply, she turned around and left the hospital.
He was worried to see her behaving strangely.
He quickly ran toward her. At the same time, a group of reporters exited the elevator.
Matthew immediately pulled Jack back and dragged him to the fire exit.
When they reached downstairs, Jessica had already left on her motorcycle.
“She looks off. I’m worried that something has happened to her.” Jack frowned.
Matthew was speechless upon hearing that. He thought, What will happen to that girl? Our most important task is to get away from those reporters before they find us! Or else, it would be a disaster if those reporters managed to take a photo of Jack with a helmet in the hospital!
Matthew responded, “If you don’t want to be in tomorrow’s newspaper with your helmet on, we should quickly leave now.”
Jack’s assistant drove a minivan to pick them up. Matthew then dragged Jack into the vehicle and left the hospital.
Meanwhile, Jessica rode the motorcycle at high speed all the way home.
She felt unsettled as long as she hadn’t solved the issue.
Chapter 224
Alex was shocked to see Jessica riding a motorcycle. “Ms. Jessica, why are you on a motorcycle? It is very dangerous!”
Jessica wasn’t in the mood to have a conversation with him. She merely nodded and rushed into the house.
There was only one thing on her mind, and that was to find out the truth.
She wanted to find out whether she was James and Julianna’s daughter.
Meanwhile, Julianna was arranging flowers in the living room with the music on. The living room had a relaxed atmosphere.
Jessica’s arrival instantly changed the atmosphere.
Julianna frowned as she looked at Jessica and said, “Jess, it’s impolite to rush in without greeting people. You shouldn’t do that when you are outside, or else people will laugh at you.”
Jessica walked toward her and replied softly, “Okay.”
Julianna was taken aback. She didn’t expect Jessica to behave rather obediently.
“Mom, can you please teach me how to arrange flowers?” Jessica picked up a rose.
Julianna was completely shocked to hear that.
Since the day Jessica moved into their house, she had been keeping a distance from everyone and behaved rather coldly.
Julianna wasn’t used to her friendliness all of a sudden.
“Of course!” Julianna said smilingly, “Come, let me teach you! Flower arrangement is good for training a person’s behavior. It is going to help you with your hasty manner.”
Willow was glad to see them chitchatting when she served them a fruit plate.
“There will be a charity event two days from now. I plan to attend that event and donate blood together with
Samantha. Mom, my blood type is O, right?” Jessica asked nonchalantly.
Julianna was taken aback. She then replied, “If I remember correctly, your blood type is O. Although I know you are kind, I think you can do something else instead of going for blood donation. It is a lie when people tell you that blood donation is good for your body. On TV, I’ve seen the news about people contracting AIDS when they went for blood donation. I suggest you not to go for that as it seems dangerous.”
Jessica replied with a smile, “That’s old news. Nowadays, hospitals do it properly, and the incident that you mentioned will not happen anymore. It is actually very safe to donate blood. You don’t have to worry too much!”
“No! What if it happens? I have tried so hard to find you. I don’t want anything to happen to you. Jess, listen to me this time, okay?”
Julianna was against Jessica’s idea.
“All right, I will listen to you.” Jessica paused for a moment before she added, “Mom, what is your blood type?”
Julianna felt relieved upon knowing that Jessica would not join the blood donation event. She then replied, “My blood type is B.”
“Oh, I see! I think my blood type is the same as Dad’s then,” Jessica said smilingly.
Julianna nodded. “Yes, you are right.”
She didn’t want to continue discussing that topic. She then said, “Your dad wants you to get married once you reach 20 years old. However, I feel sad about that. If you really like Charles, I won’t be against it.”
“Don’t you like me dating Charles?” Jessica asked.
Since it was rare for Julianna to be able to talk about that topic with Jessica, she quickly replied with a worried tone, “Charles is a nice guy. However, his family is too big and complicated. I don’t want you to exhaust yourself because of that. I only wish you could live a happy life. I’m worried about your future. If you two were to have any disagreements in the future, we might not be able to help you.”
Although Julianna sounded like a caring mother, Jessica wasn’t moved upon hearing that. Instead, she felt a chill down her spine.
Chapter 225
She was not the type of light-hearted person to live in an ivory tower away from the world. She was the type of person that lived a harsh life. She had experienced all sorts of evil in the world.
Jessica could clearly make out the intentions of whatever the people opposite were saying. Not to mention, she previously heard Samantha say that Whitney kept visiting, wishing to enter Horington Island.
It doesn’t take a genius to know that Whitney came with hidden intentions. Does Julianna not know? No, she knows. She had ordered it the past few times. Since Charles and the Young family are both dangerous, then why send her most precious daughter there?
In her previous life, she treated Whitney so well that she could not help but be jealous.
Alas, nothing had changed in this life.
Suddenly, an unbelievable thought crossed her mind.
Jessica’s body inched toward Julianna. For the first time, she rested on Julianna’s shoulders. “I get it now. From now on, I will keep a distance from him. Honestly, he and I are just friends.”
Upon hearing that Jessica listened to her advice, Julianna smiled.
M “Mom, I’m back.”
Whitney’s sweet voice could be heard from outside. Upon walking into the living room, she saw Jessica and Julianna standing close together and smiling. Seeing that, she could not control herself and fell.
Jessica looked at her with a smile in her eyes. It was as if she was provoking her by suggesting that their mother was finally hers.
Heart trembling, Whitney said, “I’m tired. I’ll head up first.”
Even if she had prepared herself knowing that this would happen one day, when that day came, her heart still hurt.
She did not want to stay there any longer. She did not wish to see them acting affectionately with each other.
Whitney rushed upstairs.
Out of the corner of her eye, Jessica saw that Julianna’s eyes clearly had a hint of pain and discomfort.
Whatever Julianna was about to say, she did not. As she turned her head, she said to Jessica, “I’ll teach you more some other day. Today’s piece was not bad.”
Jessica nodded. “I’ll go up then.”
“Go on.”
After Jessica left, Julianna’s smile disappeared. Looking at the two pieces, she called the maid. “Put them on the

Upon hearing that Jessica listened to her advice, Julianna smiled.
Upon seeing the maid leave with the flower arrangements, Willow asked, “Where are you putting these?”
“Mrs. Larson said to put them on the porch.”
“These are too beautiful to put on the porch.” Willow glanced at the flower arrangement in her hands. This looks like Ms. Jessica’s work.
“I’m not sure.”
Jessica went upstairs and closed the door. She opened her fist to reveal a strand of long hair.
While she was near Julianna, Jessica had secretly taken a strand of her hair.
Jessica then placed the strand of hair in a plastic bag.
At night, Jessica knocked on the study door carrying a cup of coffee and a plate of desserts.
“Father.”
James lifted his head and asked, “What’s the matter?”
James had been stressed the past two days due to the Harwood family meddling with Jadeborough’s business. They even managed to change the plans regarding the western suburbs.
Now that the Harwood family’s crisis had passed, James, who once abandoned them, had become a joke.
That piece of land could give the Harwood family a few hundred million dollars of profit.
In the past, everyone would flatter James. Now that the tables had turned, everyone started praising Jake for his courage and means.
Chapter 226
When the Harwood family was doing well, the Larson family was not.
“Father, are you having a hard time because of the Harwood family?”
Jessica placed the items on the coffee table and sat on the couch.
James could not help but blame Jessica when she brought the matter up. If it were not for her, he would be able to make money with the Harwood family. He would never have become a joke.
Previously everyone mocked the Harwood family. Now, they mocked James for bad judgment.
“Yes. I’ve become a laughing stock.”
Jessica pretended she did not hear the blame in his words. She calmly replied, “It’s not an easy task for the Harwood family to recover. They must’ve paid a huge price behind closed doors. That piece of land is worth fifty million dollars. At least seventy percent goes into someone else’s pockets. At best, the Harwood family is just earning a little. They are not worth your time.”
He had heard a lot of words the past two days. However, Jessica’s were the most comforting.
James chuckled. “The people outside do not see things as clearly as you, little girl.”
“This isn’t me seeing things clearly. I’m just repeating what Mr. Young had said.”
When James heard that the words came from Charles, he was sure that the news was true.
The Harwood family was always doing the dirty work for someone else.
Now James was no longer angry. He was elated.
“Why did you come to find me?” James asked kindly.
“I heard some news about the harbor land being developed. If you can obtain that piece of land, the Larson family will definitely become the richest family in
Horington. The Harwood family would not be a concern then.”
“The harbor land?” James’ eyes widened. “Is it true?”
“I’m sure,” Jessica replied confidently.
James instantly attributed the information to be from Charles. If not, how would his daughter know?
Only people with backgrounds like Charles could be the first to obtain this kind of information.
Meanwhile, Charles, who was on the other side of the city, had no idea he had once again become the scapegoat.
James was no longer depressed. He placed all his attention and effort on the harbor district. Even if he opened a hotel, a theme park, or a mansion, it was the best location.
“Jess, you really are my lucky star.” James’ face was filled with happiness as he looked at her. He could not help but think of his good-for-nothing son.
“If your brother were as capable, I would even pass the business to him.”
A gleam of light flashed in Jessica’s eyes. She said, “Since you want to train him, why not let him participate in this project? We have the opportunity, and there is a lot of work to do. If you let him participate, when he enters the company, he will have something to his name.”
James laughed. Amused, he replied, “Jess, do you want to participate too?”
“I’m still inexperienced. I need to focus on academics.”
Jessica set the coffee on the table. “Try the coffee I brewed.”
Happily, James drank a mouthful. “The flavor is not bad.”
“Hold on; you have a strand of white hair. Let me get it out for you.”
“All right.”
Jessica walked forward and lightly plucked out a strand of hair. She then kept the strand in her fist.
She took two steps back and smiled as she said, “I’ll stop bothering you and let you get on with work.”
“All right, go back and rest. If you have a place you want to visit, just go and have fun.”
“Okay.”
Jessica left the study room and returned to her room. After that, she placed the two strands of hair into the plastic bag.
She had a grim look as she gazed at the two bags in front of her.
Chapter 227
At the same time, the internet was filled with news of Jack and Jeanette encountering gangsters resulting in them getting injured and being sent to a hospital. The hospital was surrounded by people.
Jack was stuck inside the hotel and could not get out.
Matthew sat on the couch while looking at his hands. “Publish a post tonight to inform the fans of your wellbeing.”
“Whatever you say.”
Holding the phone, Jack typed aggressively with one hand.
He had already sent Jessica a dozen messages, but she had not replied.
The look on her face when she left instinctively told him that something big had happened. He was a little worried.
Matthew saw him repeatedly typing on his phone and frowned. “Jack, what are you doing?”
“Private matters. You have no right to ask!”
Matthew almost exploded in fury. I really hate this damned kid.
Jessica lay on her bed and held up her phone. Her phone was out of power before, so when it charged up, countless messages popped up. The majority of them were from Jack.
First, Jessica texted Daisy and Samantha that she was well and briefly explained what had happened with Jack. After that, she opened his message.
Jack: Jess, you left in a hurry just now that I didn’t get the chance to thank you. It was thanks to you today. Otherwise, my hand would be ruined.
Jack: After all, you are my savior. As my savior, if you have a wish, I will grant it to you.
Jack: You don’t have to tell me right away. Once you think of something you want, tell me.
Jack: Jess, please remember that we’re friends. If you’re in trouble, you can tell me. I may not be able to solve it, but two heads are better than one. I will definitely keep your secrets.
As Jessica read the heartfelt and caring messages, her heart fluttered.
Even though he did not have anything to benefit from, he was able to bring happiness. This was something she had never experienced before in her past life.
Regardless of whether it was Samantha, Charles, or Jack, it was still the biggest achievement in her current life.
She wished that their treasured friendships would never disappear.
Jessica sent out a simple message.
Jessica: I’m doing great. I will let you know if anything pops up. Please take care of your health and don’t sleep late. It’ll aggravate your wound. Goodnight.
Jack read the message and frowned.
That little girl is very thoughtful. Having so many thoughts hidden at such a young age, she gives me a familiar feeling. As if she was… A bit like my brother. I finally know why she is so familiar! That little girl’s eyes were cold as she glared, exactly like his!
The next day, Jessica went out. After the driver sent her to City Square, she took a taxi to the nearest paternity test center.
Jessica handed over the strands of hair, including her own, to the nurse.
“How long does it take for the results to come out?”
The nurse handed a form over to her and glanced at her. Lowering her head as she wrote, she replied, “Usually, it takes around three to seven working days. If you are in a hurry, you can apply for an urgent one and get the results in eight hours. This would cost extra money.”
“I would like it urgently.”
The nurse edited the list and printed a new copy. Handing it to her, she said, “Once you check the form, please proceed with payment. You can’t use a credit card.”
Chapter 228
Just eight hours and the results would be out.
While waiting for the results, Jessica sat quietly on the chair in the corridor.
The nurses and staff that came and went could not help but throw a glance at her.
It wasn’t the fact that her appearance was eye-catching. It was the solemn and silent aura that exuded from her.
The nurse, who helped Jessica, returned from the staff canteen and saw her sitting there. She couldn’t help but exclaim, “Miss, there are still five hours to go. You can leave for a bit and come back. By then, the results would be almost done. Sitting here is too boring.”
“Thank you. I got it.” Jessica smiled slightly at the nurse but did not seem to want to leave.
Upon seeing that Jessica would not move, the nurse gave up and left with her colleagues.
“This is the first time I have seen a young girl come here alone for a paternity test.”
An older staff whispered, “This is normal. Once you’ve been here long enough, you will encounter all sorts of weird people and situations.”
“Looking at her, she knows something. It seems that she is just waiting for the final judgment,” a newer staff whispered back.
The old staff shook his head. “We can’t be sure. Three years ago, I met an eighteen or nineteen-year-old boy. He also came on his own to do the test. The reason was that his parents preferred his sister, so he suspected that he was adopted. In the end, the results showed that he was their biological child. Upon receiving the results, he kept denying it, insisting that we got it wrong.”
Jessica did not care about how other people viewed her. Whether they were curious or disagreed with her, she only cared about getting the results right away.
In the eyes of other people, time could be passing too fast. For Jessica, every second felt like a year.
As soon as the window opened, before the nurse could yell, Jessica was already there.
The nurse looked at her in shock and disbelief.
“Your results are out.”
The nurse handed the reports to her. It seemed that the nurse had something to say but ultimately kept quiet.
However, Jessica took the reports but didn’t look at them right away.
She sat down on the chair and held the reports tightly.
She lowered her head and scanned the results, finally shifting her gaze to the bottom of the page.
The probability of biological relations is 0.0988864735%.
Jessica’s expression remained calm as she continued flipping.
This time she looked directly at the results printed at the bottom.
The probability of biological relations is 0.112378399%.
Her gaze was fixed on the long number, unmoving. Her entire body was frozen in place.
A minute passed.
Two minutes passed.
Eight minutes passed.
She finally moved.
Her pretty face broke into a smile, laughing silently.
Her smile was full of bitterness and hatred. It then turned cold.
They’ve deceived me so badly!
That’s why no matter how she tried to please them or how carefully she acted, they were so indifferent to her. It was all because she was not their daughter.
No wonder they callously threw her to Seamus. She was only a tool for them to make money.
Larson family, just wait!
Chapter 229
Jessica’s body trembled continuously as she recalled all the humiliations, torture, and grievances from her previous life. The hatred that ate into her bones filled her body. She clenched her fists tightly, and her black pupils gradually turned red.
In the past, she was a fool in their eyes, nothing more than a mere blockhead who was easily deceived.
I was clearly not their daughter. Why should I be allowed to return to the Larson residence and be humiliated? I’ve never offended them in any way. Why did they torture me like this?>
She loathed it!
She abhorred James’ hypocrisy and cold-bloodedness. Julianna’s sarcasm, Whitney’s viciousness, Zachary’s ruthlessness, and Yonah Quail’s shameless betrayal.
Jessica then chuckled. Her laughter gradually amplified, and tears eventually overflowed from the corner of her eyes.
Her behavior attracted the attention of the surrounding staff, and everyone looked at her in surprise.
Looking at her trembling thin body, and her smile with tears flowing down her cheeks, one could feel the sadness and hatred emanating from her body even if one were looking from a distance.
The nurse in the reception room looked at her and let out a long sigh.
I may not know what happened between this child and her parents, but when a child is in that state, it’s not a tough guess.
Half an hour later, Jessica stood up. She walked toward the trash can and lifted the lid.
Little by little, she tore the paternity test report in her hand into pieces. As soon as she released her hand, the pieces fell like snowflakes.
When Jessica exited the DNA Test Center, the setting sun was hanging by the horizon. The twilight beautifully colored the sky, and the sunset was breathtaking, but not for Jessica.
She raised her eyes and looked at the sunset on the horizon. On a large screen at the corner of the street in front of her, the Larson Group advertisements were being displayed.
Jessica’s gaze was fixed on the huge advertising screen.
The Larson family and the Larson Group. She wanted them to disappear completely from this city.
Instead of calling the driver to come and pick her up,
Jessica took the shaky shuttle bus to the foot of the mountain. Step by step, she then walked along the winding road to the mansion.
With each step, the hatred in her heart grew. However, her expression was filled with nothing but calmness.
When Jessica returned to the Larson residence, her expression looked normal. The people around her did not notice anything unusual about her.
Jessica still smiled and greeted Willow and several other maids. She then warmly exchanged a few words with Julianna, who was very satisfied to see Jessica so well-behaved.
Seeing the smile on Julianna’s face and the way she was looking at her gently, she thought, This was the warmth I had always yearned for. But now, when I see her looking at me with such eyes, I feel nothing but disgust.
Jessica thought that yesterday’s test clearly showed that Julianna was aware of everything. However, it was uncertain if the same could be said for James.
However, James was a cunning old fox. The truth would not be as easily discovered as how it went with Julianna.
The next day, Jessica went to the stock exchange center. She sold off all the Cloudlance Corporation stocks she bought. Stocks became a hot topic among everyone due to the sudden price increase. After deducting various administrative fees, she made a net profit of 900,000 dollars in merely one week.
The huge profits from stocks can really make one lose their mind.
As Jessica was about to leave, Yonah suddenly walked toward her and blocked her path.
“Little girl, what a coincidence. We meet again,” Yonah uttered.
Jessica looked at the man in front of her. The corners of his lips rose, and a bloodthirsty gaze lit up in his eyes.
Previously, I was too preoccupied with the hatred of my previous life that I had forgotten about the important matters. An opportunity like this won’t come so easily again.
Chapter 230
You’ve betrayed and cheated many in your previous life. It is now time for you to have a taste of your own medicine. Otherwise, it would be too unfair, wouldn’t it? Since you like to play with stocks so much, let me give you a good game.
Jessica smiled softly and sweetly. “It’s you! I’m sorry about what happened last time. I was in a terrible mood, so I hope you don’t take it to heart.”
Yonah waved his hand. “It’s okay. Don’t worry about it. Everyone has bad days sometimes.”
With a change of topic, Yonah said excitedly, “The stocks for Cloudlance Corporation you bought previously were really amazing! It’s the only stock with the highest rate of increase recently. How did you know? Do you have any experience to share?”
As soon as he finished his sentence, Yonah immediately added, “You don’t have to tell me if it’s inconvenient. I was only asking out of curiosity.”
Jessica smiled and said, “There’s nothing inconvenient. To tell you the truth, when I saw it that day, it was at its lowest. So I thought to myself if the price was this low, there was no way it could go lower than that. And since it could not drop any lower, it could only rise. So I bought it. It’s that simple.”
Yonah was dumbfounded. He could not believe what he had just heard. There was no way she would lie to me. With her crystal-clear eyes, she just doesn’t look like that kind of person.
“Was that your first time buying stocks?” Yonah asked.
Jessica nodded and whispered, “Actually, my sixth sense is pretty accurate.”
“Sixth sense?”
Yonah believed in what Jessica said. Because when he bought his first stock, he managed to make a small profit by trusting his sixth sense.
So when he heard that she relied on her gut feelings too, he suddenly felt like he had found his soulmate and bosom friend.
Yonah enthusiastically talked to her about popular science. “It’s not called sixth sense, but a kind of keen insight. Like many other outstanding people out there, they have strong insights and intuition. This is why they can predict things quicker than others. That’s how they become legends. For ordinary people like us, some may possess the insight; some may not. It may even dawn upon us occasionally. This wonderful feeling can only be understood but not explained.”
Jessica nodded like she did not fully understand and continued to listen to Yonah obediently.
Her behavior encouraged Yonah’s desire to continue preaching, and so he began to talk a lot.
Jessica listened quietly throughout the whole process. Yonah became more excited as he saw her so concentrated and ready to learn. The look in his eyes softened, and his attitude toward her naturally became friendlier.
“Jess, I am going to buy this stock. What do you think?” asked Yonah.
Jessica pondered for a moment and thought it over carefully. “To tell you the truth, Yonah, I came here today to sell all the stocks I previously bought.”
“Why? The stock has such good momentum, and it might continue to rise. Many experts on the TV think so too.” Yonah frowned.
“My gut feeling is telling me that it’s going to drop. That’s why I came here today to sell them off. But then again, this is just my gut feeling. Whether you want to buy it or not is completely up to you, Yonah. If you were to ask for my opinion, I wouldn’t recommend it.”
Her sincerity and openness touched him, and she managed to get on his good side. Yonah’s initial intention to purchase the stocks vanished.
However, according to his experience, it should be able to rise again before it starts to plummet.
M Jessica stood up and said, “Yonah, I still have some other matters to attend to. I better get going.”
“Okay, let’s keep in touch if anything happens.”
“Sure.” Jessica nodded.
When she turned around, the smile on her face disappeared without a trace.
