Chapter 45 Cruel Revenge and Test
"..." She could hardly breathe and her face was blushed.
Jessica's clothes were torn by him little by little.
She could see herself in her dark and hollow eyes. And she was just like a bug which was on the verge of death. She didn't expect that the purpose for him to ask her to be here was to humiliate her.
Her tears welled in her eyes and she was in despair.
Louis peeked at Jessica's face which was blushed with a touch of purple, then he loosened his hands, and let go.
Jessica gasped for air.
She thought she would be killed by him since she couldn't breathe at all.
She put her arms around her nearly naked body which kept trembling.
"Louis... Carter... I..." She was still gasping for hair and her face was turning pale, "I apologize to you..."
She did it and she couldn't make any excuse.
"Apologize?" He glanced at those men aside, "Fine, let me ask them whether they can forgive you."
She turned around and she was frightened when she saw what those men were doing.
She covered her mouth and she almost threw up.
"No..." She was so frightened and looked at Louis. Her lips were almost bit bleeding, "No, please, don't..."
"No?" He said in a gentle voice.
He slim and long fingers rubbed her sweating back, "Jessica Wilson, even though I know you get close to me just because you want to get something you want, I still keep you by my side, do you know why?" "Why?" She said in a trembling voice.
His eyes were dark, "Because I want to wait and see when, how and why you will sell me out. But I've never expected that you stole my drawings of the "Shine Project"! I thought she will hate the Wilsons Group since you are just an illegitimate daughter. But I underestimated you..."
What he said were like knives which were cutting her heart.
She cried and said in a husky voice, "I am so sorry..."
If she could have a choice, she would never do it.
"You think everything will just pass when you apologized?" He sneered, "Jessica Wilson, you are too naive."
She was so scared.
She could feel the horror was coming to her.
He peeked at those men aside and said, "I give you two choices. First, entertain them. Second, jump down here." She was shocked.
She didn't expect that the way he punished her would be so cruel.
Her fingers were trembling and she glanced at those nasty men and had a looked at the window at her back. Her heart was tightened.
No matter which she chose, it would be the cruelest revenge to her.
She gave a gloomy look at him and she asked, "Louis Carter, is there a third choice?"
Her tears kept pouring down uncontrolledly.
His eyes were darker and told her the cruelest words, "Yes, I will kill all your family!"
Suddenly, she was in despair.
Jessica knew deep down that he could do that since he was such a powerful man in Chicago. She took a deep breath.
It would never occur to her that she helped her dad but both of them were ruined.
Jessica closed her eyes and she paused for a second.
Then she opened her eyes and stepped back from his arms.
She stood up.
Her slim body was trembling lightly.
Under the light, her skin was shiny white.
She covered her private parts with her hands helplessly.
And she gave a deep look at Louis and said, "Louis Carter, I will be responsible for what I've done. Don't hurt my family."
What she meant was only Jason and her mom.
But he thought it was the Wilsons.
He sneered and gazed at her when she was stepping back.
She smiled bitterly and then she turned around.
She rushed to the window, closed her eyes and jumped down.
There was a sound downstairs.
Those men were in astonishment.
They looked at each other and asked, "Mr. Carter. Your secretary..."
"Jump off the building!"
"Mr. Carter, you seem to go too far..."
"She... she is dead..."
"Quick! It will be a trouble if the media know that..."
Suddenly, they were all nervous.
They couldn't get themselves involved in any scandals since they were the high-ranking officials in Chicago.
They put on their clothes and pants in a hurry.
However, Louis was still as calm and indifferent as usual.
He walked to the window and looked down from it.
The grassland under the dark light was super quiet.
He saw Jessica whose skin was as white as snow just like the white cherry blossom, clean, pure but charming.
Her naked body was exposed to him.
Louis could feel that his heart was like pulling by something and it was numbing.
Then he took out a cigar from his pocket.
And he lit the cigar.
He leaned against the window and he smoked.
The smoke fogs were like the clouds which wrapped around the room.
The sad and bitter smile that Jessica showed before she jumped off kept showing up in his mind.
Her smile was just like a bunch of cherry blossom in full bloom and his eyes were hurt.
It was known to all that the cherry blossom was one of the longest love but most transient flowers.
When it was in full bloom, it was beautiful.
When it was withered, it was clean and pure.
It would just ten days for it to be from blossom to withered.
Louis thought the sky was never blue like this.
The stars were shining on the sky.
Jessica was lying quietly and she opened her eyes without blinking.
It never occurred to her that the feeling was just like that when she was jumping off from the third floor.
She felt her body was numbing and she couldn't move.
Was she dying?
And she could feel that her body was getting colder and colder and she couldn't feel her fingers...
Then she looked up and there was a man in her sight.
She saw Louis Carter's face.
Suddenly, her tears welled up to her eyes.
She could clearly see that he was smoking by the window elegantly and haughtily and like a cold but gloomy leopard.
The more it pretended, the more dangerous it would be.
Just then, there was a white sheet place on her.
Before she reacted, her body was covered by the sheet.
Then she heard someone was sighing, "Miss Wilson, you didn't need to suffer from this. Never offend master..."
Jessica's lips were trembling and she looked up and she saw Keith.
Keith was covering her with the sheet and chimed, "The 'Shine Project' is the most important project for master to sweep the international construction field. And the meaning of project is just like the Night, which is the gift for Miss White. Miss Wilson, you should have stolen those drawings.
The "Shine Project" and the Night?
Jessica felt her heart ached.
And she felt that her heart seemed like tearing by something and it was bleeding.
She said in a husky voice, "Miss White?"
Keith had a look at her and he thought he shouldn't have told her then he changed the topic and sighed in relief, "Luckily, you chose to jump off, Miss Wilson."
Jessica didn't understand.
Keith sighed again, "You can touch what is underneath. Then you will get it."
She touched it with her fingers and she found that she wasn't on the hard ground but on a soft foamed plastic mat.
Keith shook his head and then deflated the airbag underneath.
He said to Jessica, "Miss Wilson, actually the airbag was prepared for you before you arrived here. Master wants to test you, because you have done something wrong. You stole the drawings and gave it to the Wilsons Group and that made it perform perfectly in the first round of the bid." Keith's eyebrows furrowed tighter and tighter, he was deflating the airbag while he was chiming, "The bid is open to the public and lots of people think that those drawings were designed by the Wilson Groups. Because of what you did, master is so livid and he can't just embarrass the Carters Group."
Jessica turned pale and she realized why Louis was so angry.
She didn't take all into the consideration though she knew her dad was sinister.
If Louis told the public that he would investigate the source of those drawings, there was no doubt that the Carters Group admitted it was their mismanagement that others could get a chance to steal the drawings.
If Louis didn't choose those drawings and eliminated the Wilsons Group, that meant he was giving up his own design and denied the value of those drawings!
Those drawings were from the interior of the Carters Group or even designed by Louis.
But the Carters Group wouldn't put up with what the Wilsons Group did if they let it be selected.
However, if they eliminate the Wilsons Group, the public would made lots of guess since the Wilsons Group won the first place in the first round of the bidding today.
The Carters Group was in a dilemma.
No wonder Louis was mad at her.
Keith sighed and shook his head then had a look at Jessica whose face was pale. "Luckily, Miss Wilson you jumped off the building. If you try to escape or resist, master would have a more cruel revenge on you.
Jessica realized that forcing her to jump off the building was a cruel and terrible test for her.
She should have guessed that Louis wouldn't kill someone who sold him out that easily.
Jessica choked with sob.
If she chose to make those nasty officials happy, the consequences would be so terrible for her to imagine.
Suddenly, she choked with sob and didn't say a word.
"Keep it in mind, Miss Wilson." Keith gave a serious look at Jessica and chimed. "Never piss master off, especially something related to the 'Shine Project'."
She gave him a sad smile and she suddenly realized.
"You mean something related to Miss White, don't you?"
Keith peeked at her without saying a word.
He seemed to acquiesce in what she said. 000
