Chapter 30 Help Me
Jessica suddenly panicked when she found Lorenzo missing. Given how he looked before he left, Jessica was afraid that Lorenzo might get himself in danger.
He…
Jessica was worried that he might be having a problem.
That only made Jessica more anxious. She hurriedly got up to look for Lorenzo.
“Lorenzo, are you in the room?”
Jessica walked into the closet room and looked around. She checked both closet rooms and didn’t find Lorenzo there. No one answered when she called his name, so she could only try another place.
“Lorenzo, are you there?”
Jessica suddenly realized that the best place to calm down was the indoor swimming pool. When she hurried over and pushed the door open, the cold air in the room made her shiver.
The door of the place closed automatically. She started to search for Lorenzo in this huge place. She had looked around for quite a while and found no one inside this family gym. However, she did have found some big ice bricks in the swimming pool.
“Lorenzo… Argh!”
Jessica was about to leave and search for Lorenzo in another place. Just by then, she was dragged over by some force. Before she could react, she was slammed into an “ice wall”. Her scream then echoed in the indoor swimming pool.
“Why are you looking for me?”
A low-pitched hoarse voice whispered by Jessica’s ear. She was pulled into the arms of the “ice wall”.
That “ice wall” was Lorenzo.
“My God! Are you soaking in the ice water in the swimming pool? Have you lost your mind?”
Jessica quickly pushed his arms away. She quickly put her small hands on Lorenzo’s cheeks and felt sick at heart.
“I understand you want to calm down, but this is by no means the right way. It could have killed you! I can help you with that. Why do you have to torture yourself…”
Jessica said as she turned around. She was going to go back to the bedroom for something, but Lorenzo stopped her.
“I… I was almost done calming myself, but the bad feeling flooded back when I saw you again. Please help me, will you?”
No matter how powerful and talented Lorenzo was, he was still an ordinary man. Being soaked in ice water for hours made him shake like a leaf. His muscles were all softened, so he could only press himself against Jessica.
“I want you…”
Lorenzo didn’t want to let go of Jessica again. She was in his heart now. Therefore, he started to rip off Jessica’s nightdress with all his left strength.
Tu-tum… Tu-tum…
Jessica stood frozen for a while. She could hear her own heart beating in her throat.
“Don’t do this, please. I’m sorry… I can’t help you with that…”
Jessica couldn’t bear to see Lorenzo struggling in pain. She could give him what he wanted, but that would only make her obsessed with him. She couldn’t let their relationship go further because they were destined to separate. It was just a matter of time.
Jessica already knew that Lorenzo had taken an irreplaceable place in her heart.
“You’re such a naughty girl. You warmed me up and turned away from me again and again. You must be delighted to see me in pain, huh?”
Lorenzo wouldn’t let go of Jessica no matter how. His voice echoed in the open space.
“Take it easy, if you really want it… There are places I can send you to… You’ll be fine afterward…”
Jessica sobbed and even felt relented for a moment. However, she suddenly recalled the strange woman on the phone last time. Maybe Lorenzo had done the same thing to her.
With Lorenzo’s status in the business industry nowadays, he could get any woman he wanted. Jessica knew she wasn’t capable enough, and she wouldn’t be able to regulate such a powerful man.
“What did you say?”
Lorenzo was holding Jessica in her arms. His hand trembled a bit after he heard Jessica’s words. Then his eyes turned as cold as ice, and his face was terrifyingly gloomy.
He couldn’t believe Jessica would rather let him go for prostitutes than touch her.
Rage boiled Lorenzo’s vein. His anger was held to the extreme and finally erupted.
Boom!
Crack!
When Jessica saw Lorenzo pouching, she closed her eyes and was ready to take whatever was coming at her.
She would rather be killed by Lorenzo right now than become one of his many toys. If she had to die today, she would choose to die with a clean reputation.
Jessica was startled by the big noise and opened her eyes. The exercises machines next to them, which had been polishing like new just now, were completely distorted. Jessica then smelled blood in the air, which immediately made her vigilant.
“Your…”
Lorenzo’s hand was a mess of blood. The blood dripped off from his hands and fell on the floor. The large area they stood was soon dyed red.
Bang!
Lorenzo couldn’t care less about that scaring would. He gave Jessica a stern look and left without looking back.
…
Jessica was sitting outside the door of the ICU in the hospital. When she looked inside the room through the glass, she saw Rosa with all kinds of pipes on her body, and the ventilator in her mouth. She hadn’t shown any sign of waking up.
It has been over ten days since the night Lorenzo stormed out of the house. He had never returned and hadn’t been heard of ever since.
Then Alina got an update from him.
Lorenzo said that something was wrong with a branch company abroad, and he needed to be there to deal with it. He wanted to apologize to Alina because he had left in such a hurry and didn’t have the time to say goodbye.
Lorenzo always thought about others when doing things. He and Jessica had had a huge fight, but he stilled tried not to tear Jessica’s story apart because he didn’t want to embarrass her. He just wanted Alina to be relieved.
The visitation time was over. Just as Jessica was about to get up, her phone rang. She thought it was Lorenzo, so she pressed the answer button without looking.
“Jessica, I have an appointment with someone at the hotel tonight. Just come if you dare. I think we can use some time to catch up.”
Juliette’s voice came out of the microphone. She was ridiculing.
“No problem, I’ll be there on time. Just wait for me.”
It wasn’t the time for Jessica to be sad or sentimental, because she still had tons of stuff to deal with. She couldn’t let the negative energy take control of her.
…
In Claus Kagel Restaurant.
Jessica found the room according to Juliette’s address. When she pushed the door open, many people were already there.Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.
“There you are. I thought you were just bluffing. Take a look at this…”
Juliette looked at Jessica provocatively. She then raised her hand with a proud face, showing her wrist to Jessica.
Juliette was wearing a jade bracelet on her wrist. The ring on her ring finger had a diamond over one carat.
“Gosh, Mr. Saunder was so generous. The bracelet must have cost a fortune, not to mention this diamond ring.”
“I can tell that the jade bracelet was made from the finest material. It looks polishing and is sheer green. It’s one of a kind!”
“Congratulations. A beautiful lady and a talented gentleman. You two will make a great couple.”
“That’s right. I wish you a happy wedding, and may you have a lovely baby soon!”
“You’re so lucky to have each other. I envy you so much.”
People couldn’t stop talking, and Juliette was getting overjoyed inside, but she still tried to look shy on the outside.
Juliette called Jessica over this time because she wanted to see Jessica’s face. Juliette wanted to defeat Jessical tonight with the aura she borrowed from her expensive dress and jewelry.
However, Jessica did nothing but look at Juliette coldly, as if she was watching the circus. Jessica’s cold reaction made Juliette angry, but she didn’t know where to vent and could only grit his teeth.
“Look at you, Jessica, pretending to be so calm. You’ve already panicked inside, right? Just tell me how much you envy me. There’s nothing to be ashamed of because we are sisters. Are you afraid that I’ll laugh at you?”
Juliette looked so condescending.
“By the way, Juliette, I heard that Mr. Sauder had a big surprise for you later. I really couldn’t wait to see it. Can you tell me what it is now? I’m so curious.”
Another person people tried to suck up.
Jessica’s phone rang again. When she clicked on the screen, she saw a text. “Come to the place I sent you. I’ll show you something interesting if you find me.”
“We haven’t seen each other for a long time. I have something to say to you, but I need to talk to you alone.”
Jessica motioned to Juliette to go out with her.
“I’m bored. What on earth do you want to say?”
Juliette lost patience and glanced at Jessica angrily, but she still got up and left with Jessica.
“Jessica, stop being such a poser. I know you still have feelings for Preston. I know you were regretful when hearing the news of our engagement, but there’s no way for you to get back now. Preston loves me so much, and you don’t deserve his love. Stop playing tricks to separate us!”
“Why are you so nervous? I don’t have any interest in that man. No matter how much we hate each other, you’re still my half-sister. Your wedding day is just around the corner, and it will hurt our feelings for each other if I don’t give you anything. For the sake of our half-blood bond, I’ve prepared a surprise for you, just like Preston has.”
“A surprise?”
Jessica had just returned from the remote wilderness, and she didn’t have any background. Therefore, Juliette believed that Jessica was just trying to be imposing. Maybe Jessica would get herself humiliated when taking her “gift” out.
After everyone left, Matilda sat alone on the sofa in the big room.
There were so many delicious dishes and wines on the table, she decided to have a taste when Juliette was not around.
The champagne was sweet, and the red wine was mellow. Before Matilda knew it, she had already drunk quite a few glasses. Then She felt dizzy and light-headed.
Matilda might not be as beautiful as Juliette. However, she was still an adorable woman, especially with her rosy cheeks at this moment. Just by then, a tall figure pushed the door open and walked in. Juliette was stunned.
