Standing in the garden and looking at the colorful flowers in front of her, Jessie was not happy at all.
She clenched her fists, and her chest was slightly undulating because of anger.
As expected, Daniel was caught by them.
It was Joseph.
Thinking of Joseph's sinister smile, she unconsciously tightened her fists.
Suddenly, a touch of warmth came to her body, and Jessie waved her hand subconsciously, and her
arm just hit Lawrence's injured arm. Lawrence immediately frowned because of the pain, and instantly,
the look on his face disappeared.
He asked lightly, "Jessie, what happened to you? Why are you so angry? Who irritated you?"
Jessie glared at him angrily. She had wanted to ask him why he had caught Daniel, and why he had
pretended not to know that Daniel was imprisoned by Joseph.
However, she did not do that, and she dared not to.
Because she had no idea what they were going to do with Daniel.
She gave him a resentful stare and turned away.
Lawrence didn't understand what was going on, so he trotted to catch up with her and just took her
hand, but was shaken back hard.
"Jessie, what happened to you? Tell me, what happened?" Lawrence immediately followed her and
pulled her back. He let her face him and said, "Jessie, what's wrong with you? Can't you tell me? I don't
know what happened causing you lost your temper like this. Even if I did something wrong, you should
tell me."
Jessie gritted her teeth and glared at him. Was he wrong?
To her, he was wrong. But for himself, he wasn't.
Although he had said that she was his fiancée, it was only one month since they had known each other.
Their relationship was just acquaintance. Was it possible to make him do so much for her? Jessie didn't
want him to do so neither.
Although she was angry and furious, she also knew that she was the most incompetent one.
It was all her fault, not him.
"It's none of your business."
"Why is it none of my business? You are my fiancée. Your business is my business."
"My business is your business?" Jessie glared at him with a look of questioning and disdain. On
impulse, she questioned coldly, "Did you lock Daniel up? I don't want to think about whether you caught
Daniel, or after finding him, you thought you could use Daniel to control me, so you kept me in the dark.
I no longer want to think about the cause and effect of these things. Now I just want to know, what on
earth do you want to do?"
Jessie asked without hesitation. Seeing Lawrence's stunned look, she felt annoyed too.
Basically, no matter what happened, she would hide in her heart and think slowly. But she had never
thought that she would be so impulsive this time.
Although she knew that they would deny it, she still wanted to ask for an answer.
"Jessie! You...How did you..."
"Do you want to ask me how I know?" Hearing that, Jessie calmed her heart filled with anger. She
answered, "Yes, I just heard your conversation when I passed grandpa's study. Although you didn't say
too much, I'm not a fool. I don't need to know too much and I know what happened. Lawrence, the
reason why you keep forcing me to live here is that you want to take advantage of me to kill Mark, but I
really don't understand why you have to do this to Daniel. He is just a kid. He is an abnormal child. If
you do this, undoubtedly you will push him to a dead end! You repeatedly said that you loved me,
cherished me, and hoped me to be happy, but you even hurt the people I cared most. Don't you think
you're going too far?"
"I'm sorry." Lawrence whispered an apology.
"What's the use of apologizing? I will accept your apology if you let Daniel stand in front of me.
Otherwise, don't pretend to care about me. Don't say words like that. It makes me sick."
Facing the loathing and disdain of Jessie, Lawrence's heart was torn apart.
He had done so many things for her, and he really hoped that she could be happy from the bottom of
his heart. However, this was the result he had never expected.
Jessie cast a disgusted glance at him and turned away.
"Jessie, I will help you save Daniel. I promised you that I would..."
Jessie shaken off his hand fiercely. Not knowing what happened to Lawrence's foot, he staggered and
hit against the wall. At that moment, his face turned pale.
Seeing the pain on his face, Jessie wanted to take care of him, but she could not help but feel angry in
her heart. She said coldly, "Don't say what you have promised me. Everyone can make promise. The
key is that will you keep your promise?"
Lawrence was in pain.
With the medicine box in her hand, Nita went to Lawrence's room for changing medicine, but only
found that no one was there. She went downstairs and asked the servant, then she knew he was in the
garden.
Seeing that he leaned against the wall in pain with his face pale and his forehead still wet with sweat,
she trotted up and asked in worry, "Lawrence, what's wrong with you? Does the wound crack open
again?"
Lawrence didn't say a word. He just felt so painful that he was about to suffocate.
Nita helped him to sit down in a chair. When she was about to check his wound, Lawrence immediately
held her hand. After a short pause, Lawrence said, "Why does she always misunderstand me? What
should I do to make her happy? Am I so worse than Mark?"
Nita was speechless.
She didn't know what to say. She felt as if her heart was stuffed with cotton, angry and painful.
She didn't know how good Mark was, but she knew clearly how good he was. However, no matter how
good he had done, there was no way he could be compared to Mark. Jessie could not see his merits.
"Nita, I'm really heartbroken. What should I do with her?"
Lawrence bent down sadly, and covered his face with his hands in pain.
Nita took a deep breath and suddenly stood up, pulling Lawrence up, and scolded angrily, "Lawrence,
cheer up! Look up at me, raise your head up!"
Lawrence raised his head. Nita looked at his bright eyes filled with sorrow. She was heartbroken.
"Lawrence, is Jessie the only one you care about in the world? Without her, will you die? I tell you, you
won't! This earth won't be switched because of anybody missing, and you will live without Jessie. Look
at me. Look at the woman in front of you. I just want to ask you, why can't I compete with Jessie?"
Seeing that Lawrence didn't say a word, Nita continued, "I know how sad you are now, because I'm the
same. Every time I see you with Jessie and you only care about her in your heart, I feel as if my heart
is pricked by a needle. I kept asking myself why Jessie was so good that I couldn't catch up with her.
What's good about her? Why you only care about her, and never love me?"
Lawrence froze in astonishment. Nita released her hand. With teary eyes, she gradually lowered her
head.
