"Sir, Miss Jessie is here."
Seeing that Jessie entered, the servant retreated slowly.
Joseph was sitting on the sofa, with his legs crossed. He leaned on the sofa, with his slender fingers
holding the cigarette, and leisurely blew smoke.
"I didn't expect that you would ask to see me." Joseph put down his leg and extinguished the cigarette.
He stood up and said, "What's up? I'm very busy."
Seeing him, Jessie felt a little scared. Here, she was not afraid of Ken or Lawrence, but just a little
scared of him.
Previously, when Lawrence was here, the fear was not so obvious. Now, for some reason, even the
palms of her hands began to sweat, and her heart began to tremble slightly.
"Nothing. I just want to make a deal with you." Walking up to him, Jessie pretended to be calm.
"Deal? What kind of deal?"
"How can you let go of Daniel?"
"Daniel?" Joseph suddenly stood up. He was so scary that Jessie backed a little, and her heart beat
faster.
Joseph's lips curled into a sinister smile, as if he wanted to say something even nastier. Jessie said,
"As long as you release Daniel, you can ask for anything you want."
"As I like?" Hearing that, Jessie nodded and said, "Since you have put so much emphasis on this, I
have no reason to refuse you, right? I can let go of Daniel, but you have to kill Mark."
"You..."
"What? You don't want to?"
Jessie stared at him, with her chest moving because of anger. She held her fists tightly, trying to control
her anger, just in case she couldn't help but punch him in the face.
"Why? Why do you have to kill him?" Jessie asked.
"Does it have anything to do with you?"
"You know, he is my husband, my love. You want me to kill the man I love most. Don't you give me a
reason?"
"Reason?" Joseph sneered, "I don't need a reason if I want someone to die? I just want to kill him
because I don't like him. Is it enough?"
Jessie gritted her teeth in anger. She shouldn't have come to talk with him. She angrily cursed "lunatic"
and turned to leave.
"Hey, don't go. How about I arrange you to meet with Daniel?"
Hearing that, Jessie stopped what she was going to do and immediately turned around. Joseph walked
up to her and gently touched her fair, delicate face with his hand. He put his head close to her, smelled
the faint scent of her hair, and whispered in her ear, "As long as you stay with me for one night, I'll let
you see him."
Hearing that, Jessie pushed him away and slapped him hard.
"Joseph, don't think that you can do anything you want to me just because you have caught Daniel. I
will never do such a shameless thing, even if I will never see Daniel again in my life."
"Shameless?" Joseph's eyes turned cold. He didn't care about the slap from Jessie just now. The word
"shameless" was enough to anger him in his heart. Suddenly, he reached out and pinched Jessie's jaw.
Jessie felt so hurt as if her jaw would be broken if he pinched harder.
"Jessie, I just want you to accompany me, you call it shameless? Then you and Mark were not
shameless?" Joseph's eyes were wide open. He looked at her ferociously and said sharply, "Don't think
I don't know that you slept with Mark before you married into the Lan family. You knew that you were
going to be a married woman, but you still slept with other men. Do you think you are not shameless?"
Jessie was stunned and shocked.
Who the hell was he? Why did he know all these things?
"What? Surprised, huh? I tell you, it's your honor that I want to sleep with you. Stop putting on the look
of holy virgin. You make me sick!" As he said, he shook off her. Painfully, Jessie felt her chin almost
dislocated.
Joseph said, "If you want to save Daniel, you can promise me that you will be my plaything. As long as
you make me happy, not to mention Daniel, I can even spare Mark's life. If you don't, don't..."
Before he could finish his words, a figure flashed by before Jessie. When she came to her senses,
Joseph was pressed on the ground by Lawrence, and beaten wildly.
For a while, Jessie was overwhelmed.
She wanted to dissuade Lawrence not to beat him. But when she thought of what Joseph had just said,
she thought that he should be beaten. She believed that he deserved it. He had been so arrogant.
Two of them were fighting in the living room, and the servants ran out one after another. They wanted
to stop the fight but didn't dare to, so they had to stand aside stupidly.
"Stop it, Lawrence." Suddenly, a cold female voice was heard. Jessie saw that Nita stepped forward.
Nita pulled away Lawrence and helped Joseph up. Joseph's face was covered with bruises. Nita
asked, "Sir, are you okay? Are you hurt?"
Joseph angrily shook off Nita's hand, and tugged at his clothes. "Lawrence, you hit me for this woman
today, you should know what the consequences will be."
"The consequence?" Lawrence sneered disdainfully, "I only know that you will end up with being killed
by me!" He didn't care who the man was. Whoever dared to hurt his woman was courting death! Even
though he knew clearly that it was Joseph who would gain the upper hand in the end, he still had to
speak it out.
As he said so, Lawrence raised his fist and was about to give him another punch, but was stopped by
Nita.
"Lawrence, don't act on impulse." Nita persuaded, "Even Mr. Ken doesn't dare to do anything to him.
You had crossed the line today. Think about the people you need to protect." She glanced at Jessie,
indicating Lawrence not to go too far.
Lawrence put down his fists, turned over, and Nita helped Joseph leave.
However, when they just walked to the door, she heard a man's scream. Jessie turned around and saw
Joseph fall to the ground, with white powder all over his body, making him look like a drowned rat.
Nita helped him up. Rachel stepped aside and said timidly, "I'm sorry." After throwing a glare at her,
Joseph limped off and got in the car.
Jessie burst into laughter. She looked at Rachel and her eyes were filled with praises and laughter.
Just when Lawrence saw that smile on Jessie's face, he frowned deeply.
They were truly fighting with Joseph. In the face of this situation, only they were in danger.
Walking up to her, he shouted angrily: "Jessie, why did you meet him in private? Don't you know it's
very dangerous?"
Jessie didn't know what to say.
"I know you want to save Daniel, and I also want to save him as soon as possible. I remember that I
have told you, I will find the way and let you not worry about it, but why don't you listen to me? Do you
think you can easily get Daniel out? Even grandfather could not make it!"
When he thought of what Joseph had just asked Jessie for, he was furious and wanted to skin him
alive.
"I'm sorry." Jessie apologized quietly, not because he was angry, but because she had brought him so
much trouble.
This time, she was too reckless.
"Jessie, am I so untrustworthy for you?"
