Jessica was stunned.
A frozen silence trailed along the air between them.
A few seconds later, she burst into a smile.
She looked up at Natalia and blurted coldly, "You think you can fool me?"
Natalia shook her head, "Forget it if you don't believe me."
Jessica's face darkened.
"What exactly do you mean by saying this?"
"Nothing, it is great if you can understand, but it doesn't matter if you don't. I just want to remind you,
you brought me down five years ago because I was off guard, but now it is different!"
"Do you really think I am so silly to come without fully prepared, knowing that you and Tammy are trying
to set me up and destroy my reputation again?"
Jessica's face changed completely.
She shook her head in disbelief.
"It is impossible! If you had evidence, why didn't you disclose it five years ago?"
Natalia smiled with faint mockery.
Without another word, she turned around and was about to go inside.
Caught in a panic suddenly, Jessica reached out her hand to pull Natalia.
"Stop! Make it clear..."
However, a figure rushed over at this moment and bumped into Jessica.
"Ah!!"
Amid the scream, Natalia hurried over to hold Victoria, and found that Jessica's gown was stained with
red wine.
"Oops! I'm sorry. I'm really sorry. I failed to stop in time running here and bumped into you by accident!"
Victoria smiled and took out a handkerchief to wipe the red wine for her.
How dare Jessica let her wipe the stains for her? She was afraid that she would push her intentionally,
so Jessica retreated quickly.
"Don't come over!"
"Tsk! It is you who don't allow me to wipe it for you! Don't blame me for not apologizing!"
With that, she felt at ease and withdrew her hands.
Jessica's face turned blue with anger.
Victoria said with a smile, "Don't be angry. It's only a dress. It is so ugly that it makes you look like a fat
old nanny. I have done you a favor to get it dirty. At worst, I will buy you a new one."
Jessica was speechless.
"Besides, pregnant women shouldn't be angry. What if your anger has an negative impact on the baby?
This is the only bargaining chip you have to marry into the Miller family! Be careful."
Jessica was fuming.
Marie who had sent Marie into the room was worried about Jessica and came downstairs to her. At the
sight of Jessica's gown ruined with red wine, she quickly ran over.
"Jessica, what happened to you?"
Jessica said nothing but stare at Victoria, as if she wished to eat her alive.
Victoria turned a blind eye and said to Marie with a smile, "Nothing. Her skirt got dirty accidentally.
Since you are here, we will leave her to you. Pregnant women should be taken care of, we will leave
you alone. Bye."
With that, she pulled Natalia to walk away.
Marie was left behind, speechless.
Natalia did not expect that Victoria would suddenly come over. NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.
As long as she thought of the fact that Jessica got spilled with red wine, she could not help but laugh.
She tugged at Victoria's hand and asked, "Hey, where were you? What took you so long?"
Victoria's eyes flickered.
"I just talked to a few people I know."
Victoria switched the topic to avoid continuing discussion about it. "Did you tell Jessica?"
Natalia smiled, "Yes."
"Did she believe it?"
"I am not sure, but at least she doubts it."
With her eyes casting slightly down, Natalia said quietly, "Sorry to trouble you tonight."
Victoria sniggered, "It's no big deal. I may not be able to help you with other things, but I can handle
this. Rest assured! If anyone comes tonight, I will get her to you."
Seeing her confident look, Natalia nodded, smiling.
On the other side, Jessica, in the company of Marie, came back to the guest room to change clothes.
As the entire hotel was booked for the celebration, most attending guests present were allocated with
separate guest rooms so that they could stay late in the evening. There was no rush for them to leave.
Both Jessica and Marie's rooms were on the eighth floor. After entering the room, Marie could no
longer hold her tongue anymore and shouted angrily, "They crossed the line! How could they pour the
wine at you in public?"
Jessica's face turned sour too.
"Natalia dared not. It's Victoria."
"That b*tch!"
Marie was so angry that she gnashed her teeth and said, "It is just because her father is the chairman
of Ambario Prosperities. What is it? A public display of power?"
Jessica sneered.
"Her identity as the daughter to the owner of Ambario Prosperities is powerful enough! At least she is
way more powerful than you and me!"
"But..."
"That is enough. It is the end of the conversation, and get a gown for me now. Shawn is still waiting for
me downstairs. I must get down at once."
Marie dared not say anything anymore and had to help her to find a dress.
After Marie left, Jessica went into the bathroom and thought of something as she was washing her
hands.
After that, she looked at her pretty face in the mirror and got slightly distracted.
Natalia's words echoed in her mind again.
"Are you really so sure that the manuscript you stole from my computer five years ago is the original?"
The certainty and confidence in her face seemed to be obvious, and she became nervous.
No, No way!
She had literally copied the manuscript from her computer, and by rights, she couldn't have had
another copy!
But why was the uneasiness brewing in her heart?
She knew Natalia so well!
She could not have uttered such words in front of her if she had not been so sure!
She would never put on a show!
But what if it was not true?
What good did she get by lying to her?
Trying to scare her? To ask her to stop getting her into trouble?
Not likely.
Jessica frowned and her brain was so messy that she could not figure it out.
She felt panic.
In the past five years, outsiders thought she had a good life, but they didn't know she had paid a lot for
it.
Marketing alone could not go far, and she did put in solid efforts and hard work.
She had worked so hard to get to where she was now and how could she give it up easily again?
She had spent so much effort to drive Natalia out of the family, to seize Shawn, to get the life she
wanted, how could she allow it to be destroyed so easily?
No, no!
She took a deep breath at the thought.
There came a knock on the door.
