Jessie felt so helpless and embarrassed that she didn't know what to say.
Suddenly, Jessie felt a sharp pain in her head. It seemed that she had thought of something. She
suddenly raised her head and asked, "What's this place? Why am I here?" 'I should have gone to CN
Police Station to find Daniel. Why was I there...'
Jessie tried hard to recall what had happened last night, but her memory of what had happened last
night didn't came back to her. When she drove out of the house, Mark didn't answer her phone, and
what happened next was unknown to her.
Lawrence said, "You had a car accident yesterday. We passed by and saved you."
"Car accident?" Jessie felt suspicious. Why did Lawrence come to save her every time when she was
in trouble? How could there be such coincidence in the world?
Before she met Mark, Jessie thought that there were many coincidences in the world that couldn't be
explained. That was because of fate.
However, when she knew that it was not a coincidence that she met and fell in love with Mark, she
began to doubt any kind of coincidence in the world.
'Was it possible that this Lawrence in front of me was also...?'
She lifted the quilt and got out of bed without hesitation.
Lawrence stopped her immediately, "Jessie, what do you want?"
"I want to go home. Besides, I was missing like this for a whole night. My family will worry about me."
"Your family?" Lawrence's face suddenly darkened. "In this world, except grandpa and me, you have no
other family."
"Why do I have no other family members except you? I have a husband and a younger brother. Aren't
they my family?" Jessie looked at him, puzzled. She did not understand why there was anger in his
gentle eyes. It seemed that no one else should exist in her life except him and grandfather.
"Brother, thank you for saving me. But I really have to go now. I have something very important to do."
Thinking of the phone call from the police yesterday and the fact that Daniel was still in the police
station, Jessie couldn't wait to leave here.
When she was about to leave, her hand was held.
"You can't go. From now on, you can only stay here."
"……" Hearing that, Jessie turned her head. She was stunned. "Why can't I go?"
"Because the Lan family is your enemy!" A cold voice came from outside the door. Soon after Jessie
and Lawrence turned their heads to look, they saw a man with blond hair who looked similar to a
European, with deep facial features and a tall figure.
But his dark blue eyes looked scary.
He looked terrifying.
"Why are you here?" Lawrence asked him in doubt.
"If I don't come, I'm afraid that you'll let her go at any cost."
"I said I would handle it."
"Really?" Joseph sneered, "Although the old man believes you, I don't believe you."
Then he walked to Jessie and held her delicate jaw. He looked at her with a smile, which made people
feel fear. "She has such a pure and lovely face. Even I can't help but take a look at her. If you are
attracted by her, it is normal for you to let her go. After all, she is your love. Don't you think so?
Brother!"
"I..."
"I know you feel bad for her, but don't forget that we have something more important to do. For
example... Kill Mark."
He loosed his grip on her jaw. Jessie looked at the two men in front of her with her wide open eyes.
'They wanted to kill Mark?
Why did so many people want to take Mark's life?
Did they take her here just to threaten Mark?
No, no way.'
"Why do you want to kill him?" Suddenly, Jessie turned to Lawrence and questioned, "Brother, why do
you want to do that? You said you saved me just now. That's not a coincidence, right? The car accident
last night, including the call from the police station, are all designed by you? Right?"
Even though they said anything, Jessie had already felt that there was conspiracy going on.
In order to catch her and threaten Mark with her, they took advantage of her care about Daniel and
lured her out.
Jessie angrily clenched her fist.
"Lawrence, answer my question!"
"Jessie!" Lawrence called her name lightly. But he didn't know how to continue.
Joseph sneered, "Do you really want to know? Let me tell you. You're right. We just want to set you
up."
"You..." Hearing that, Jessie looked at Lawrence and gritted her teeth. "Why did you do that? You
repeatedly said you wish me happy, but what you are doing now is all hurting me. Do you know that?
When you saw my pain of losing my child, I believe you can feel how much I love him, but why did you
still do this? What on earth has Mark done? Did you set me up like this just want to kill him? Let me tell
you. I will never let you get what you want. If he must die, I will die with him!"
"Jessie!" Lawrence yelled. Just now, he had been feeling guilty because he set her up, but now, his
anger was on the verge of explosion.
"Don't call my name! You don't deserve to be my brother at all. I don't have a brother like you. You
either let me go now, or bury my corpse." Hearing that, Lawrence was more furious. Just because of
Jessie's firm look and the way she protected Mark.
At that moment, his face turned as black as hell. He gritted his teeth and clenched his fists. The blue
veins protruded on his palms as he stared at Jessie.
Obviously, he was trying hard to suppress his anger which was about to break out.
Lawrence's eyes glared with fury. On the contrary, Joseph, who stood beside him, sneered, completely
enjoying the scene in front of him with a smirk on his face.
Jessie glared at them. Joseph just ignored the anger in her eyes. He put on a disgusting smile and
said, "Woman, you'd better not look at me like this. Otherwise, I'm afraid I will reach orgasm. If I am in
the mood, you and your so-called brother have nothing to do with me."
Joseph's face darkened as he turned to look at Lawrence with a ferocious look. He said coldly, "Do
what you should do. Don't challenge my patience. Be clear about who you are."
Then he walked away.
Jessie cast a resentful glance at Lawrence and wanted to leave, but was stopped by Lawrence.
"Well, do you really want to see me die in front of you?"
"No, I don't. But you can't go." Lawrence paused, "You won't die, either." I won't let you die."
Hearing that, Jessie sneered, as if he had said a funny joke.
Lawrence frowned and looked at her.
Jessie sneered and asked back, "Whether I'm alive or dead, can you make the decision?" Jessie
wasn't a fool. From the conversation between Lawrence and the blonde man just now, she knew that
man had the final say here.
And Lawrence in front of her was just a pawn in his game.
He didn't have the right to control her life and death.
