Chapter 102
"Mr. Gulliford, please behave. I'm a secretary, not your mistress or a pet whom you can toy with. Don't treat me like a caged bird," Jessica said impatiently. Then, she brought the glass of wine to the corner of her mouth and took a sip.
"You're right." Trevor nodded in response and thought, "She's right. But how can my wife be a caged bird? She is a phoenix or a peacock."
"Good that you know, Mr. Gulliford." After saying that, she turned around and left.
Watching her leave, Trevor smiled and mused, "No matter whether you're a bird or a human, you can't run away from me, not in this lifetime."
After Jessica had left, she went looking for Pamela. In fact, she didn't expect the latter to be here tonight as well.
Surprisingly, Pamela seemed to be keeping a distance from her.
Confused, Jessica asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Deep down, she thought, "I don't understand. Is she suspecting that I'm the killer?"
Pamela smiled faintly and remained silent.
Feeling a chill in her heart, Jessica tightened her grip on the wine glass.
She could not figure out why Pamela was avoiding her on purpose.
Although she was new to the company, their relationship was as good as they had known each other for a long time. Therefore, she could not make heads or tails of it.
Upon the thought of it, Jessica was upset. After all, they even played together on the bed last night.
Reluctant to let go of the matter, she chased after Pamela and grabbed her hand.
"Pamela, I treated you sincerely as a friend. Can you at least tell me why?"
"The man who died today was my fiance. Does this answer your doubt?"
The remaining smile on Pamela's face vanished as she glared at Jessica with hatred.
"Do you really think I'm the one who ended his life, Pamela? I'm new here! Why would I do that? I don't have any reason to do that at all! Trust me, Pamela." She put the glass of wine aside and pulled Pamela's arm, looking at her with pleading eyes. The feeling she was experiencing now reminded her of the moment she begged Trevor years ago.
"I treated you as my good friend the instant you joined the company, Jessica. I hope that you've nothing to do with it too! Why must it be you? Pamela shook off Jessica's hand.
Judging by the current situation, Jessica was the only one who had the opportunity to get near Pamela's fiance. Moreover, everyone had witnessed her being the first to walk out of the scene.
"Pamela..." Seeing Pamela leaving without the slightest hesitation, Jessica broke down at once.
She took two steps backward and held on to a coconut tree. In an instant, a deep sense of powerlessness filled her mind. "It's her! Take her away!"
Before Jessica could react, some people appeared from the crowd. They dragged her away by force and covered her mouth. She was baffled by the sudden appearance of those men as she didn't offend anyone after returning to Horington.
"Who are you? Let me go!" Jessica struggled.
However, she could not even utter a word as they had her mouth covered.
"Shut up! Otherwise, I'll end your life!" someone beside her threatened her impatiently as he looked at her with fury.
The surrounding was dark, and
Jessica could only see their
silhouettes. She wasn't sure who the
abductors were. Moreover, they
stood behind her while pointing a knife at her back, deliberately avoiding being seen.
Soon, they brought her to the other side of the island.
The island was big, and most people would stay on the east and south side of the island. On the other hand, the west side where the abductors brought her to was vacant.
Jessica struggled hard to break free. She wanted to call for help, but she could not speak a word because they stuffed a piece of towel in her mouth. "What are we going to do with her?"

beside her. At that time, she could
finally see their faces. The abductors
were two burly men with beards
connecting to their sideburns.
