When Sharon came out of the bathroom, she cried and ran. Her hands were shaking. She took out her
phone and called John. However, when they rushed to the lady's room, there was only a pool of blood
left on the ground, and Jessie and Jill were gone.
"Jessie..." Tears streamed down her face. Looking at the bloodstains on the ground, Sharon felt very
guilty. She kept blaming herself, "I shouldn't have left. It's all my fault."
With a dark face, John looked around the bathroom and said, "Don't cry. It's not your fault."
"……" Sharon looked up at him with a blank expression on her face.
John held her hand and said, "Let's go to the monitoring room."
The murder in the shopping mall caused a panic among the people, especially the person in charge of
the mall. His whole body began to tremble when he was told that the victim was Mrs. Jessie, the wife of
Mr. Mark.
"Mr. John, the video is all here." The manager said in a trembling voice.
Face darkened, John focused on the surveillance video, as if he hadn't heard the manager's words.
"John, that's Jessie. She... She was bleeding heavily..." When she saw that Jessie was taken out of the
washroom by a man and almost dying, Sharon couldn't help but cry again.
The manager was shocked when he saw how Jessie looked like. He couldn't help but keep sweating.
"Mr. John, I, I..." He patted the head of the security supervisor next to him and asked angrily, "What the
hell is going on? How do you work in security? People coming here are all famous and wealthy. How
can you just let people come in and out without checking?"
The security supervisor was speechless. He looked so innocent that he felt like weeping but had no
tears.
The mall was always open to the customers. Although it was only for the rich, it was difficult for them to
tell who was rich and who was poor. Besides, poor people could also buy luxuries. How could they stop
them?
"Sir, you can't blame us for this. She was wearing designer clothes. We couldn't tell by her appearance
that she was trying to kill people."
"Shut up!"
"Enough!" With a shout, John looked at the manager sharply and ordered, "Get all the videos today to
me."
"Yes! Yes, sir."
John took the surveillance video and pulled Sharon out of the room.
The manager wiped the sweat on his forehead. He was scared to death.
The security supervisor whispered, "Sir, the policemen wanted to check the video. You have given it to
Mr. John. Then, what about the police..."
The manager glanced at him and ordered angrily, "Tell them to ask John directly."
－
John took Sharon directly to the manor. Everyone was surprised to see Sharon. Did he acquiesce in
her identity as his future wife?
John said, "Sharon just saw Jessie in the mall."
"What?" All the others spoke in unison. Mark asked, "Where is she now?"
"She..."
John cast a sidelong glance at Sharon, and then turned to look at Mark. He said seriously, "She was
injured for saving Sharon. And she had been taken away by Lawrence."
"Injured? What the hell is going on?" As soon as Mark heard that Jessie was injured, his heart twitched,
and he felt painful.
In the past few months, her body had not been recovered. She had just recovered from her old wound,
but now she got a new one.
Seeing Sharon sobbing in a low voice, even though Mark was furious in his heart, he still managed to
hold back his anger. He lowered his voice and asked, "Miss Sharon, what happened?"
"Just after I put on a show in the mall, I went to the lady's room and saw Jessie. She said that she was
there for shopping. I asked her to go with me, but she was unwilling to do so. She said that she was
trapped in a villa area in the suburb of the city, and she suspected that her younger brother was also
caught by those people."
Sharon tried her best to restrain the guilt and sadness in her heart, keeping herself in a stable state,
and said, "By the way, Jessie said I must tell you that the purpose of those people is to kill you, and you
must be careful."
"Anything else?"
Sharon shook her head, "No. I wanted to call John and ask him to take Jessie away, but Jessie
stopped me. Then we met Jill."
"Jill Shen?"
"Yes." Thinking of Jessie being stabbed by Jill because of her, Sharon couldn't help but burst into tears.
She put on a pitiful look and said, "Jill came to kill me. But Jessie, she did that to protect me. I...I..." She
cried.
Sharon felt painful and guilty. And even John also felt very guilty.
Suddenly, Mark's malicious eyes turned to look at John. A murderous look was sensed from his eyes,
which was horrible and frightening.
That was why Jessie went to the mall to see Sharon. She wanted Sharon to tell him that Ken and his
men wanted to kill him!
If it wasn't Jill, and if it wasn't John, Jessie wouldn't have to go back again! And she would not get hurt
again!
"John, I told you last time that you needed to get rid of Jill. Is this how you dealt with her?" Mark
abruptly strode forward, grasped his collar and roared, "It's okay that you have been depressed for so
many years just because of a woman. How could you get a substitute? That's none of my business, but
you can't let your woman hurt my wife! Last time, Jill got Jessie scalded with coffee, and this time she
stabbed her because of your woman. John, you're really something!"
"I'm sorry." John had no other choice but apology.
It was indeed his fault this time. If he hadn't been so benevolent to Jill, things like this wouldn't have
happened. Besides, he had no idea that Jill would come to take revenge on Sharon. If he could stay
with her today, things would not have happened.
And Jessie would also come back with them.
"I really didn't handle it well. When we get Jessie back, you can punish me in whatever way you want."
"Punish you?" Mark pushed him away hard and snorted, "Do you think that as long as you are
punished, there will be no scar on Jessie's body? Do you think today's matter doesn't exist after I
punish you?"
Jeffery and Caleb looked at each other and confused.
Among the four of them, John handled the best in relationships. However, they did not understand why
things would come to this.
With a deep sigh, Caleb stood up and advised, "Well, everyone calm down. What's done is done. We
can't solve the problem by internal strife. The most important thing right now is to find a way to get
Jessie out of there."
Mark cast a cold glance at John and then turned around to sit on the sofa.
The surveillance video was playing on the TV. It was true that Lawrence came out of the bathroom with
Jessie in his arms, and her body was stained with blood too. Although nobody could see Lawrence's
expression, just from his flurried footsteps, Mark was sure that Lawrence must love Jessie very much.
Mark felt his heart ached. He said, "Have you got any information about Lawrence and Ken?"
"Yes. I'm sure you'll be as surprised as I am when you see it." Jeffery took out his USB flash disk and
inserted it into the TV. He said, "It's true that Lawrence has been adopted by Ken since he was ten
years old. But to everyone's surprise, it was Ken who had arranged someone to set a big fire to the
Xiao family's house that year!"
