Anger smoldered in Joyce's heart. At first, it was merely a matter between her and Mark. She didn't
want to get anyone involved, but since the situation was like this, she had to do something.
'Jessie, don't blame it on me! It's not my fault! It's Mark!
He can only be mine.'

After Caleb and others left Joyce's house, they found a cafe to drink coffee.
Caleb asked, "Do you know that is there any antidote for Jessie's poison?"
John and Jeffery shook their heads, and John said with a cunning smile, "Why do you care about that
woman? Whether she's detoxed or not, it's none of your business! Did you..."
"Fuck off!" Caleb cast a cold glance at him. It was a boring joke. When he saw the disgusted
expression on Caleb's face, John shrugged and asked, "So why do you ask this? That was what Mark
should care about. Derek reports to him the research progress of the antidote every day, doesn't he?"
"Well, I feel like something bad is going to happen."
"Something happened? Who? Jessie?" John said sarcastically. How could anything happen to her!
Mark had sent so many people to protect the villa, including so many infrared cameras. As long as she
didn't leave the villa, nothing could happen!
She was so well guarded that even bugs can't get in, let alone people.
With a mocking smile, he mocked, "Caleb, haven't you had much work to do recently? Do you want me
to find a woman for you? You didn't worry about Joyce who is trying to kill herself. Why do you even
worry about other people's wife? Do you have anything else to do?"
Jeffery nodded to agree.
Jessie was poisoned and she got pregnant. In order to save Daniel, Mark had directly destroyed MR for
saving him. What's more, Mark had made Leslie disabled, and also left Nelson in the hospital, being
paralyzed. When all kinds of dangerous factors mixed up, Mark would not let go of Jessie's life and
security.
If he couldn't guarantee the safety of Jessie, they would be even more unreliable.
Having no response, Caleb kept thinking about what Joyce had said.
At first, he felt that she didn't say anything, just some jealous words between women. But he knew that
she was more than a little bit. Her desire and control for things were not limited to little women's
jealousy.
She was too possessive.
After a long pause, he said slowly.
"Joyce won't give up unless Mark go back to her. Even if she is my sister, I will say so. Just in
consideration of the current situation, there was absolutely a chance for her to deal with Jessie. Even if
she didn't go to the villa, who could guarantee that Jessie wouldn't come out! If she goes out, Joyce will
be able to get those bodyguards away. She is so smart."
...
John and Jeffery kept silent.
Giving them a glance, Caleb continued, "Actually, I don't want to say that, but that's what she has been
like since she was a child. We must try our best to protect Jessie in that case no matter for Jessie or for
Mark. No matter who Mark will choose, Jessie is innocent. What's more, she is pregnant now."
"…… Then you mean..."
"I mean, John, you and Mark often stay together, so you get close to Jessie to protect her secretly."
"What! You ask me to protect her!" John beat the table and rose to his feet. The guests in the coffee
house all looked at him. "What are you looking at? Haven't seen anyone beating the table!" he sat
down in embarrassment.
"What do you mean, Caleb? You know I don't like that woman. Why do you ask me to protect her! You
are deliberately making me upset, aren't you?"
Caleb and Jeffery looked at each other in disbelief! A man wasn't always reasonable, like someone in
front of them!
Jeffery said, "Why are you so excited? Why don't you think about the reason?! Think about it. Although
Caleb and I don't have too much connection with Jessie, we have no grudge against her. If Mark wants
us to protect his wife, that makes sense. But if it was you, they wouldn't think too much."
As mentioned by Jeffery, there was an emphasis on the word 'his wife'. It indicated how important
Jessie was for Mark.
John still confused. "Why don't others think the same if I do it?" What's the difference?
Even if he was special, what did that have to do with Jessie?
He sniffed coldly. He would rather die than protecting her!
Jeffery was speechless and sighed.
As a clever man, he couldn't understand now?
Caleb took a look at Jeffery. He continued, "When Jessie shot Mark, you really wanted to kill her. Every
time you see her, you just dislike her as if she was your enemy! Your attitude won't arouse anyone's
suspicion of your protection. Do you understand?"
John finally understood.
However, he was still angry.
'Why did I have to be her bodyguard? Why not ask Rachel to do it? Why not Richard? If not Richard,
how about ask Mark to hire a dozen or twenty bodyguards to help him? He could afford the money.
Finally, after being coaxed and threatened by Caleb and Jeffery, John reluctantly agreed. However, he
swore at the two nosy men over and over again.

Since Mark left at noon, Jessie had been staying in her room. When she heard some noise downstairs,
she rushed downstairs immediately. She searched the room for Mark but she didn't find him. Then she
returned her room disappointedly.
She just came back and forth like this for a whole day.
She had dinner absent mindedly, washed up and then lay in bed. Looking at the empty place beside
her, she felt her heart was also empty.
Where on earth did he go?
He just saw his ex-girlfriend and didn't get any reaction. Why did he look worried?
Jessie felt bad. His ex-girlfriend showed up. He left and didn't even notice her. What did he take her
for?
She got off the bed and went downstairs.
"Grace, do you know how to find Mark? I couldn't get through to him."
"…… Perhaps Mr. Mark is busy. I don't have any contact information except his phone number. Shall I
ask Mr. John for you?"
John?
The thought of that enchanting look, Jessie chilled.
She was his enemy. He would not tell her where Mark was even if he knew it.
"Oh, nothing. Forget it."] Grace nodded. Just when she turned around and was about to leave, Jessie
suddenly called her, "Grace, do you know Joyce?"
