His Precious Love

Chapter 542

Jacob took a few steps back as he was worried that Wyatt might hit him.

“Stop beating around the bush and get straight to the point!” Wyatt snapped.

Jacob raised his hands to surrender and quickly said, “The point is, she called me on the second day after I returned to the country to ask me for help to investigate two people, and I got someone to do that. That evening when I asked to meet you at the club to discuss business, I received updates from my subordinate on the investigation. When I called her to tell her that the two people are both dead, she cried.”

“Was Oliver Marsh the man you investigated? And the other person was his wife?” Wyatt asked.

“Yes! That's right!” Jacob nodded continuously. Letting out a sigh, he continued, “I didn't know they were her relatives. If I had known, I wouldn't have told her the bad news.”

Wyatt's expression darkened when he heard that.

He had thought that Jessica knew her uncle and aunt had passed away. It turned out that she was completely unaware of it.

Who was the person who told her then?

Images of Jessica from the previous night flashed in Wyatt's mind. She had knelt before him and pleaded with him to let Oliver and Danielle off. It turned out that she had misunderstood that he was the

one who killed her family! Realization dawned on the man at once.

With a menacing gaze in his eyes, a mirthless smile appeared on Wyatt's face. “D*mn it! How dare someone set me up!”

The culprit's intention must have been to sow discord between him and Jessica.

“Set you up? Who?” Jacob asked curiously. Rubbing his chin, he said, “Wyatt, I don't understand what you're talking about.”

Ignoring his friend, Wyatt asked, “How did she contact you previously?”

“Oh. I bought her a phone.”

“Who else knows her number?”

“Other than me, my mom has her number too.” Wyatt's expression became even gloomier after he heard Jacob's reply.

Wyatt had managed to get some important clues from his conversation with Jacob.

What he could be sure of was that someone had been spying on Jessica. In addition to having Jessica's number, that person seemed to know every move of hers and Jacob's.

The man drummed on the table with his fingers and asked Jacob coldly, “How did you know her?”

“Didn't you already know?” Jacob questioned back.

“What the f*cking hell do I know?” When Wyatt heard that, anger welled up in his chest. “I was unable to find her after her friend arranged for her to go overseas. How could I have known how you two got acquainted with each other?”

“Oh,” Jacob finally understood what Wyatt meant and replied, “She told me that her boyfriend had dumped her overseas after they had a fight. So that was actually a lie.”

Jacob spent the next three minutes telling Wyatt all about where and how he had met Jessica, what Jessica looked like when he first saw her, and how they ended up together. He did not dare to leave out any details.

Even though Wyatt remained expressionless as he listened quietly, he was gripping his pen so hard that his knuckles had turned white.

His crimson-red eyes were filled with rage as he pressed his lips tightly together.

The man was shocked to know how much Jessica had suffered when she was in Yartran. She was even almost raped!

How did she manage to keep the baby safe under those circumstances?

“Wyatt, are you... okay?” Sensing the hostile aura around Wyatt, a shiver ran down Jacob's spine, and he took a few steps backward. It felt as if Wyatt could murder someone right then.

Jacob was well aware that he would not be able to beat Wyatt in a fight and did not want to risk

provoking him.

“I'm all right. I'm very calm right now.” Wyatt took a deep breath while trying to suppress his emotions.

He knew that it was important for him to keep a clear mind as his current priority was to find out the truth.

Jacob was at a loss for words.

“Since it was her friend who arranged for her to go overseas, why would she...” Jacob stopped himself mid-sentence but could not help being curious. As such, he continued cautiously, “When I first saw her, she looked as if she had been badly tortured.”

Wyatt clasped his hands together and replied, “Someone was already watching Jessie when she left the country. After finding out her address, they destroyed the surveillance cameras and took her away after killing her housekeeper.”

Wyatt explained in such a direct manner that there was no way Jacob wouldn't understand.

“Were those people intending to do bad things to Josie... I mean, Jessie? They had beaten her up and even made her blind because she had put up a resistance, right? Did Jessie escape when they were not paying attention?”

Wyatt remained silent and clenched his fists tightly, trying to keep a leash on his emotions.

If Jessica had not managed to run away...If she had not run into Jacob outside the club...

If Jacob had not saved her...

Wyatt shut his eyes. He did not dare to imagine what the consequences would be if things had not happened the way they did.

At the thought of all the suffering that Jessica had gone through, the man's heart wrenched in pain, and he found it hard to breathe.

She had just escaped hell, but not only did he not comfort her when he saw her, but he had also scolded her.

Seeing that Wyatt was keeping quiet with his head lowered, Jacob knew that he was wallowing in self- blame.

Jacob was also feeling bad for Jessica.

He did not expect her to have been through such a traumatic experience. Moreover, he had also told her about what happened to her family...

Jacob walked over to Wyatt and patted his shoulder. He sighed and said, “Wyatt, you're really too much... Alas! Even if she had angered you, you shouldn't have hurt her so badly.”

“I don't know what overcame me.” Wyatt felt miserable as he recalled his previous arguments with Jessica and her frosty attitude toward him at the end.

He held his head and said in agony, “I loved and pampered her so much, but she deceived me and even aborted my baby. I can't help but want her to experience the same pain I felt whenever I thought about that.”

“Ah! Was she also pregnant with your child before?”

“She had twins,” Wyatt replied softly before continuing, “She had approached me for revenge. Even her pregnancy was part of her plan. How could she... I just can't bring myself not to hate her!”

“Revenge? What do you mean?” Jacob was confused.

The next moment, he widened his eyes in disbelief as he had suddenly recalled something. “What did you say her name was? Jessica Marsh? Could she be related to Bianca Marsh...”

Wyatt did not reply and continued lowering his head in silence.

Jacob stood on the spot in a daze for some time before snapping out of his shock. “Umm... I shouldn't interfere in your affairs, but I really don't think she's the kind of person who would make use of children,” he stammered.

“How long have you known her for? Do you really think you understand her well?” Wyatt shot a glance at the man and sneered, “Given how well she toyed with my feelings, I don't think there's anything she's not capable of!”

Jacob pulled a chair and sat down as his legs were aching from standing too long. All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.

Then, he said, “But seriously, she doesn't seem like that sort of person. Back then, when the doctor told her that the baby was doing well, I noticed the relieved expression on her face as she touched her belly. Wyatt, just think about it. If she was really that ruthless, she could have just gotten rid of this baby as well since she had already aborted the twins. Why would she put herself through so much hardship just to keep it safe?”

Wyatt froze upon hearing that.

He's right. If Jessica wanted, she could have aborted the baby overseas and hurt him once again.

Why didn't she?

Feeling at a loss, the man asked Jacob, “Why?”

“F*ck! Why are you asking me? You should know better than me since you're the cause of the problem!” Jacob rolled his eyes in dismay.

“Why am I the cause of the problem?” Wyatt asked.

Jacob was rendered speechless and almost wanted to curse again.

How can he say that I don't understand Jessica well when he is the one who knows nothing about her!

Letting out a sigh, Wyatt said, “I'm sure she had other reasons for aborting the twins. You should go back and have a proper talk with her about it. Please don't scold her again.”
