Chapter 46 She Was Just a Pawn
Jessica got up from the air bag with her trembling fingers.
She was scared to death after she jumped off the building.
But she thought she was such a fool, why did she have to listen to him and jump off the building?
However, she had no other choices.
Those nasty men, the dirty dinner, and him...
They all made her feel sick.
Jessica jumped off might because of impulse or horror.
She was holding her body with the sheet firmly and her lips were trembling, "Keith, is Miss White that superstar Brenda White?"
Keith was folding the airbag and peeked at her.
He sighed and nodded.
Jessica suddenly froze and her face was pale.
Brenda White wasn't a rumor, she was the woman that in Louis life.
She suddenly thought of the night in Zeus Bar where Raymond Graham kept mentioning his so-called "sister-in-law".
Jessica now realized that what he was mentioned wasn't Joyce at all.
It was Brenda White!
Her soul seemed to be empty, and she staggering.
No wonder Raymond Graham would say that how Louis could be that cruel to push her to be a sitting duck.
Actually he meant that how could Louis be that cruel to make her to be a scapegoat for Brenda White.
Jesus...
She felt it horrible.
And she realized that she was just a pawn.
Louis was protecting the woman named Brenda White.
"Miss Wilson, how about I send you home?" Keith looked at her worriedly.
Jessica bit her lips and lifted her head.
She was gazing at the window on the third floor with her gloomy eyes.
The man who was smoking there was gone...
She shook her head indifferently, "no, thank you, Keith."
This was the first time she had been that heartbroken.
No wonder that night when Louis hugged her in his arms, he was that kind and gentle.
But he told her not to fall in love with him.
Jessica's heart ached.
Did she fall in love with him?
She didn't know but she felt so cold.
But her heart was colder.
And it hurt.
Finally, she was wrapped by the sheet and with slow but ponderous strides, she left...
Keith couldn't help sighing when he saw Jessica was staggering.
For these years, he had witnessed that there were lots of girls trying to get close to Louis, but they all gave up in the end.
Only Jessica was the one who could really get close to Louis.
But, Jessica would never win Miss White...
At night, the old building was extremely cold and cheerless.
The police found nothing here.
But at night, the neighborhood was so quiet.
Jessica didn't know how she went back to home.
As soon as she was home, Martha ran out of the room nervously, "Jessica, what happened?"
Seeing that Jessica was wrapped in a white sheet and her hair was messy and there were even bruises on her arms and legs.
Martha was freak out.
"Were you...?" What Martha could think in mind was that Jessica was robbed, raped or something terrible.
Jessica held back her tears and forced herself to smile at her mom.
She nodded slightly, "Mom, I am fine. I need to have a shower."
"Jason locked himself in his room after the dinner. I don't know what he is doing, he might fall asleep now." Martha was guilty and nodded her head then looked at Jessica, "Jessica, your dad..." "Was Jason scared?" When she heard about her son, she didn't feel sad suddenly and all her attention was on her son.
"No, he wasn't." Martha shook her head. "Jason is a tough boy and he didn't even cry. Jessica, I know your dad went too far, but he didn't hurt Jason. He is not that cruel and inhuman..." Jessica thought of what Louis did to her tonight. Then she sneered, "I would rather he is inhuman, so that he could be in jail for ten more years."
Martha with a guilty conscience and she didn't speak a word.
Jessica turned around and went into the bathroom...
In the bedroom.
There were two little boys lying on the bed.
The moon cast a bright light over the room gently.
"Matthew Carters, when will you go back home?"
"You don't let me tell grandma that we are twins, because you are afraid that grandpa would do something bad to us."
Matthew didn't say a word.
"But, we can't just lock ourselves in the room. That was so boring!"
Matthew was still silent.
"The key is that grandma made Stir fried pig's feet tonight. But I still shared one with you!"
"Do you know that it was a shame to steal other's food? It is so difficult for me to put on weight, I won't be lose weight because of you." Matthew was left speechless.
"If I am thinner, I won't be handsome. If I am not handsome, Jenny wouldn't like me."
"Matthew Carters, you should know that mom belongs to me. You can steal my mom from me. So for dad, I will replace you to see him when I miss him.
"What's more, Matthew Carters, I feel so stressful because you always got full marks before. Therefore, you have to pretend to be me when I am having a test."
"You know that, it will be an honor to improve from D to A plus. But it will be a shame to degrade from A plus to D. I won't let it happen since I am always that smart..." Matthew still kept silent.
"Fine, I promise you, as long as there is an exam, I will let you come back to see mom."
"Hey, are you mute or something? Are you listening to me?"
"Matthew Carters!" Jason was a bit angry.
"You should leave!" Matthew said coldly and slightly, "you should leave and go back to the Carters."
"What?" Jason stared at him and gnashed his teeth.
"You should be back to the Carters." Matthew said calmly. "So, grandma won't be suspicious that there are two "Jason" here. You and I don't need to be locked in the room boringly. You don't need to share with me your food. And most importantly, you can get what you want in the house of Carters. You don't need to worry that you will be starving. All you should think of is that you need to control your weight and not to put on too much weight. You don't need to worry about the exams. As long as I am here, I won't let such a shame happen. Last but not least, you don't need to worry about whether Jenny likes you or not, because she wrote a letter to me and said she liked me."
That was the longest sentences Matthew had ever said since he was born.
Jason lapsed in silence for a few seconds and he was a bit angry after hearing what he said, "Matthew Carters!"
Jason was about to give vent to his anger, but suddenly they heard the footsteps outside.
Suddenly, the room was in a mess.
Jessica was wiping her hair and said to Martha.
"Mom, you are tired, have a sleep earlier. I will have a look at Jason."
Martha nodded her head, "OK, you need to take a rest earlier too."
Then Martha went inside the room and went to sleep.
Jessica sighed in relief and she rubbed her sore shoulders.
She still felt frightened when she thought of the scene that she dumped off from the third floor.
She felt she would be dead at that moment.
Jessica sighed and closed the door.
Then she took out her key and put it into the lock.
The door was open, and the room was dark and quiet.
The moonlight cast over the room and she saw her son was sleeping on the bed.
Her eyes filled with tenderness and she walked over to the bed gently and she was afraid of that she would wake him up.
Jessica leaned against the bedside and reached out her hands then rubbed his hair gently...
She suddenly felt a sense of happiness.
Jason who covered by the comfort murmured, "Mom..."
Jessica looked at him with her eyes filled with tenderness, "Did I wake you up? Sweetie."
"No..." He turned around in his comfort and gave her a hug, "I miss you, mom..."
Jessica smiled happily, "silly boy, mom has been so busy in working these days. So, I didn't go back home often. I miss you too."
He buried his head into Jessica's arms and breathed in the fragrance of his mom.
Jessica was hugged him and patted his back lightly, "Were you scared by grandpa today?"
"It's fine."
"I am sorry, baby. I didn't protect you well..." She sighed and tears in her eyes.
If she could, she wouldn't let the kid know his grandma was that inhuman and bad.
"Mom... what did grandma want you to do?"
She pursed her lips and her voice was a bit husky. She wasn't willing to tell those disgraceful things to her son, "Nothing, baby. It all passed. Have a good sleep... good night, sweetie."
Her son said yes and fell asleep.
Jessica patted lightly on his back and she was crooning a lullaby. It seemed like that she had always sung her son to sleep...
He might be tired and the room quieted down.
Only the light sound of breathing could be heard.
Under the bed, there was another boy was scratching his fingers and he was angry.
"You asshole! Matthew Carters! How dare you kick me off the bed..." Jason was thinking in mind.
The next morning.
Jessica rushed out when she got the phone call from Benjamin Carter.
There were a few of people in the restaurant during the morning.
Benjamin Carter was sitting on a chair seriously and gazed at Jessica who was sitting opposite him.
"Jessica, I heard that the Wilsons Group become famous overnight and their total score ranked first."
Jessica's face turned a bit pale and she pursed her lips gazing at the delicate western style breakfast and she was a bit nervous.
She was silent.
Benjamin chimed, "I heard that Louis was so angry and he asked you to the Japanese restaurant last night."
Jessica looked up at him with her bright eyes, "Mr. Carter, are you questioning me?"
"Questioning?" Benjamin lifted his eyebrows and laughed out loud.
Jessica frowned and she had no idea why he was laughing.
"You are so special since you can make Louis that angry. Jessica, I underestimated you." Benjamin mocked and it seemed like that he was so eager to be on the scene and enjoyed the good show. "Well done!" "What?" Jessica was in a great shock.
Benjamin laughed, "I don't like the 'Shine Project' at all. Now you have ruined the project, I think that's good for me."
He was such a fox!
Jessica was confused and said, "I don't understand."
"Let me be straight. I hate anything related to "Shine Project". I am so eager to ruin his project as well. No matter how I disturb it, and tried to ruin it, I always failed. But you nailed it."
Jessica was shocked when she heard about what he said. 000
