Since they came back from Germany, Mark and Jeffery had been doing business and political activities
together. Although Nelson was in the hospital now and seemingly gave up the management right of
Maple, he still didn't believe that Nelson would give up so easily.
After all, it was a kingdom of business that he had set up with great efforts. Even if he was not there,
there would still be someone who trusted him and supported him.
It would not be easy to eradicate Nelson.
Maple Group The whole group's business involved transportation, petroleum, chemical industry, hotel,
tourism, finance etc. and its total assets reached over hundreds of billions.
Of course, it was Mark's credit that Maple had these achievements now.
It was just because Mark was too formidable that he surpassed Nelson's legendary achievements in
the past five years. Nelson had always been on his guard against him, fearing that he would rebel one
day.
To prevent his career from falling into the hands of others, he even set about his own son.
Mark attentively worked on his computer, with a serious look on his face.
At that moment, his phone rang...
Mark didn't want to take it. Glancing at the caller ID, he picked it up while reading files.
"What's up?"
"Mr. Mark, I think there is something wrong with Mrs. Jessie." It took Grace a long time to come up with
a suitable word.
"Something wrong?" He put down the documents in his hands and asked in a low voice, "What
happened?"
Grace reported to Mark about what she had seen and felt these days. The more he listened, the darker
his face became.
"I see." Then he hung up the phone hastily and walked out.
As soon as Nick came back from his work, he saw Mark rushing out of the elevator. With confusion
written all over his face, he asked, "Sir... General Manager, where are you going?"
"Come with me!" Before Nick could say anything, Mark went straight into the elevator and said, "Call
Derek, tell him not to go to the villa. I'll be there in half an hour."
"Okay."
Nick didn't dare to say too much. He could tell from Mark's grim face that there must be something
urgent waiting for him. Besides, he asked Derek not to go to the villa. There must be something about
Jessie.
-
The villa was still quiet.
Mark specially found a gardener in the garden and planted all kinds of flowers, which were extremely
beautiful in various colors. However, Jessie was in a daze and had no mood to enjoy the scenery.
"Mrs. Jessie, Doctor Derek is here."
Jessie glared at the servant in horror.
She clenched her fists. Her body was shaking.
"Mrs. Jessie, what's wrong?" The servant looked at Jessie in a panic, and when she saw the fear on
her face, Jessie immediately ran into the house.
When Derek got the information about Jessie, he and his assistant ran to the garden, but no one was
there.
"Where is Mrs. Jessie?" Derek asked.
The servant shook her head. She was here just now, but she was gone in a blink of an eye. They did
not know where she had gone.
Frowning, Derek turned around and told the servant to keep looking inside the room.
"Grace, we didn't find her."
"Not here either."
"We have searched the villa district, but we didn't find Mrs. Jessie."
Grace got more and more anxious, not knowing what to do.
It seemed that Jessie's situation was getting worse. As long as she heard the name of Derek, she
would keep trembling in fear.
The servants continued to look for her, and Derek was asking Grace about Jessie.
"Grace, Mr. Mark is back." It was the first time for the servants to see Mark in such an exciting mood.
The servants used to stay away from Mark, but today he was totally different.
Mark looked at them suspiciously and asked, "What happened?"
"……" All the servants lowered their heads and dared not make a sound.
Derek said, "Jessie is missing. We have searched everywhere but we couldn't find her."
With his eyes darkened, Mark asked in a cold voice, "How did it happen? Why didn't you call me?"
The servants didn't know what to say.
He glanced at the servants in front of him with his sharp eyes, and quickly went upstairs.
In the study, Mark turned on his computer, and 12 different scenes appeared on the screen. Nick
thought, 'Mr. Mark had installed surveillance cameras. Did he do this to monitor Mrs. Jessie or to
prevent thieves?'
Nick didn't dare to make wild guesses. After all, both possibilities were reasonable now.
After a while, Mark stood up and walked out of the study without saying a word. He went to the small
room where the tools were stored.
When he opened the door, the sun shone in and instantly lit up the small dark house.
Hiding in a corner, Jessie held her trembling body and looked at Mark with a pair of frightened eyes.
Mark came over to her and squatted down.
He touched her scattered hair on her face. Jessie felt that someone was touching her and immediately
shrank away to avoid Mark's hand.
"Jessie, what's wrong with you?" His voice was soft and gentle as if he was afraid of scaring her again.
"Please don't come over. Please don't hurt me. Don't... My mom died, my dad didn't love me, and
even... I'm the redundant person. I'm a sinner. I hurt the man I love most. I can't save my brother. I'll go
to hell...I'll go to hell..."
Hearing what Jessie was murmuring, Mark felt a sharp pain in his heart.
"Jessie, look at me. Look at me. Who am I?" Mark held Jessie and let her looked at his eyes.
When their eyes met, Jessie suddenly screamed. She grabbed Mark's arm and gave him a hard bite.
When she saw that Mark loosened his grip because of pain, she immediately pushed him away and ran
out of the house.
"Catch her!" As Mark roared, Jessie was even more scared.
"No! No! Don't touch me! Please..."
Hearing the order, all the servants rushed forward and surrounded Jessie.
Jessie reached out her hands and beat the servants randomly, as if she was determined to leave here
and fight against the servants to the end.
All of a sudden, a heavy force pressed on her neck, making Jessie faint.
"Mr. Mark, you..." As Grace looked at the Jessie who was in a coma, she remembered how she was
like just now and felt very sorry for her.
She couldn't figure out why she was so ill after coming back from abroad.
Then Mark carried her in his arms and walked into the house with a cold face.
Derek came to do a checkup for Jessie. Nick put some medicine on the arm of Mark.
Looking at the red teeth print, Nick felt his heart skipped a beat. How could Mrs. Jessie do this? I can't
believe she would bite Mr. Mark so hard. Anyone who saw it would feel sorry for him."
"Sir, it's done. The wound is quite deep. Be careful not to touch the water."
Mark took a look at Nick. Then he looked back at Jessie, who was lying on the
bed.
