John snorted. Mark knew him more than what language and eyes could express. They shared the
same mind. He could get to know and understand what he was thinking in the first time.
He didn't know how to retort to Mark's analysis, not even saying "no".
From this point of view, John hated Mark sometimes. He was like an invisible person in front of him,
who could not hide anything.
"Okay, okay. I'm not as good as you, but I have to tell you, for the sake of your wife, I can let go of
Preston this time. But next time, don't get involved in my business. I won't listen to anyone."
"Okay. I will only do it once!"
"Fuck off! I can't believe what you're saying now. Mark, do you know? Ever since you were together
with Jessie, you've kept doing the annoying things, which we thought was not what Mark would do.
Now you're doing more and more, you only care about how your woman feel. Do you really care about
our feelings?"
"No, I'm not!"
Mark said straightforwardly, firmly and decisively. John almost went mad when he heard that. Love was
indeed a devil~~~

The next day after Jessie made the phone call, Preston was released. But the company was still
symbolically fined more than one million dollars by the Bureau of Industry and Commerce. It was
announced that the company was punished for tax evasion.
Although it was a loss of more than one million dollars, it was still a great luck for the Yan family.
Meanwhile, Sharon went to the hospital on purpose to show her gratitude to Jessie.
"Mrs. Jessie, thank you so much. I apologize sincerely. I'm sorry." Sharon bowed deeply to Jessie to
show her apology.
Jessie smiled and said, "You don't need to apologize again. Since the past is past, just let it go. But
what are you going to do with John? Although he is willing to let your father go, you..."
"Don't worry. As long as dad is fine, I won't care about anything."
"Your husband and I are here to pick you up."
When the door was opened, John and Mark went in. The four of them were in a mixed mood, face to
face.
"Why are you here?" John's face darkened. He looked like he was in the spring breeze in June just
now. In an instant, dark clouds covered his face, and it was terribly frightening.
Jessie glanced at Mark with slight embarrassment. To break the awkward situation, Sharon
immediately explained, "I came here today just to apologize to Jessie. I..."
"How dare you call her Jessie? How come I didn't know that you are close enough to call each other's
name?"
His voice was full of coldness.
"Even if I release your father, that doesn't mean I forgive you," said John. Do you really think that you
can use this as an excuse after you get along with Jessie? If I really want to clear up the mess, nobody
can stop me."
"John!" Jessie glared at him. She was a girl after all, so she didn't think that he had to be so cruel to
her?
In her eyes, Sharon was a good girl, gentle and open-minded. Although she did not do well on this
matter, no one was perfect. There was no need for him to be so aggressive.
Sharon lowered her head, bit her lips and didn't dare to say anything.
She thought that what John said was right, so she didn't refute, explain or defend, and accepted all his
accusations and abuses. However, when she looked like a woman who swallowed the insult. That
really irritated John.
He hated her very much in this way.
It was the second time that Jessie had seen John in such an angry look.
For the first time, she shot at Mark. She could understand how furious he was.
But now, she was confused.
She did not understand where the hatred in his eyes came from when he looked at Sharon.
"Honey, the doctor said that you can be discharged from the hospital today, so I and John specially
came to pick you up home." Mark came over to her and put his hand on her shoulder, looking at her
with affection.
Jessie's eyes were brightened. "Really? Can I go home?"
"Yes. Rachel is here too. Let's have dinner together."
"Really? She told me she would come in a week, but it has been half a month. I've been waiting for her
for a long time." She had been in the hospital for almost ten days. She wanted someone to talk with her
every day. Although Grace, John and Mark would came here, there were still many things she couldn't
tell them.
It seemed that she couldn't find someone to talk to.
When Jessie heard that Rachel came to visit them, her face was full of joy and excitement, which made
Mark jealous.
Why was everyone more important than him in Jessie's heart?
He was the one she should keep in mind, the one whom she felt like they had been apart for years!
But now, it seemed that he was the person that was easily ignored by her!
After packing up for Jessie, Mark and others drove to the place for dinner.
The atmosphere was horribly low all the way.
As soon as the car stopped, John opened the door and slammed it. The shaking people in the car
couldn't help trembling.
Sharon got off the car and said timidly, "Mrs. Jessie, Mr. Mark, thank you for your kindness. I think I'd
better leave. In case of disturbing everybody."
...
Turning her head to look at Mark, Jessie didn't know what to do.
With a faint smile, Mark said, "John has a bad temper. He will kill people if he likes. So you don't have
to care too much. It's just for a meal. I heard that you were quite engaged with Jessie. You can help me
keep her company and she will be happy."
"Then..." Sharon was a little hesitant. She looked at Jessie and said, "Okay."
It was a Japanese restaurant. Rachel had been there alone for a long time. Seeing no one around, she
ordered a pot of clear wine and drank alone.
All of a sudden, the door was pushed open. Rachel turned around and saw John walk in with a black
face. She sneered, "Look! Who has irritated our enchanting, charming pretty? I think that must be an
extraordinary person, since you are so pissed off. I can figure it out by my calculation. There must be
some fate between you and that person."
"Fuck off! I don't have the luck to be with that kind of person. I would rather hit my head to death."
"Why did I smell a trace of jealousy? Are you starting to sell sour radishes in this Japanese restaurant
today?" Every time she saw John, Rachel would joke with him and even tease him. She couldn't be
happier to see that he got blackened than that of Mark.
She got up, walked to John and sat down beside him. She put her hand on his shoulder and got close
to him. She poked his drooping cheeks with her two fingers and showed a sweet and lovely smile to
him, saying in a spoiled manner, "Dear John, we haven't seen each other for a long time. Do you miss
me? I miss you so much!"
