Fall in Love After the Flash Marriage

Chapter 30 She’s a Bitch

On the first floor of the hotel, Jessica is looking for Frankie to complain about that Luke protects Jenny

just now. But Frankie is busy to follow Mr. Wang and communicates with other visitors. He isn’t

available to talk to her, so she is boring and has some wine. She comes up with an idea when she sees

the person who is going to the second floor alone after drinking with Mr. Wang.

Luke doesn’t like such occasions, so he seldom attends banquets. He shows up today because of the

purchase. Now that the wine part is over, he’s about to leave. He suddenly feels confusingly anxious to

meet Jenny.

There are not many people on the second floor. After walking a few steps, Luke hears the hurried

sound of high heels from behind.

Luke gets a glimpse of a figure in a pink dress on the broken mirror. His eyes instantly flash with

coldness.

“Are you following me to fish for my family issue?”

The abrupt voice echoes in the long corridor, which is like the cold winter wind blowing to the heart.

Jessica shrinks and explains hurriedly, “Mr. Lu, I don’t mean that. I just want to apologize for what

happened. I was too straightforward and didn’t think about Jenny’s feelings. I was wrong. But everyone

in our company knows what happened, so I thought she wouldn’t take it seriously.”

Her explanation is quite leaking.

Luke hates stupid people pretending to be smart, women in particular.

“So, I’d love to apologize to Jenny.”

Luke remains silent, looking over her with a vague smile. It’s not clear whether there’s smile in his eyes

or coldness, or both. Jessica’s heart trembles, and looks carefully behind him, “Are you looking for

Jenny...”

Luke glances over Jessica’s dress and fixes his eyes on her trembling eyes, “Don’t play wise in front of

me. I can make anyone more popular than you. You’re not the only choice.”

His tone and his eyes almost freeze Jessica.

She feels her legs go limp.

Did she just offend Luke? Could it be that serious? She even hasn’t done anything yet...

Watching Luke walk away, she gets angrier and angrier. If she was declared guilty, she should have

done something which might be the only hope to change the situation.

“Mr. Lu, just to remind you.”

Luke slightly holds his step without turning around.

Seeing that, Jessica pulls the hemline and hurries to walk ahead.

“Jenny isn’t as pure as she appears. Without any background, how would she survive in Jade Picture?

I’m sure you understand. If she wasn’t involved in those scandals, she would be the lead of Mr. Wang’s

new movie.”

Jade Picture has many excellent female stars, most of whom will do anything to get a chance. As Luke

mentioned, Jessica isn’t the only choice of the company, neither is Jenny.

Luke turns around slowly, “Oh? I’m interested now. What should I know?”

“Jenny has been with Frankie since they were kids. It was a long relation. But Frankie wasn’t capable

enough to get Jenny any further, so Jenny broke up with him. After that, she met you. Don’t you feel

upset about that?”

Perceiving Luke’s hesitation look, Jessica slows down her steps and her tone, “She’s connected with

quite many male stars in our company. They say awful things about her.”

“Tell me.”

“They say...” Jenny sighs, looking as if he hesitates to continue, “Every man might be her bed partner.”

To make Jenny popular, Shawn tells to the reporters many times that she is in love with a famous star.

He can search the reports on the net. Jessica doesn’t lie about that.

Jessica firmly believes that Luke, such a successful man, wouldn’t trust Jenny deeply since they

haven’t known each other for a long time. No one else would in such a case.

Her words echo in the corridor.

“Does telling me all these bring you any good?”

“...”

Jessica is shocked to receive such an indifferent reaction from Luke. Instantly, her mind goes blank and Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

she rambles in her statement,

“I just think such a man like you deserves the truth...”

“Should I say thank you?”

“...”

Every single one of his words is freezing.

“You’d better promise you’ll bring as much profit to the company as you do now. Or else, your

blackening other people’s name would put an end to your acting career.”

As Jessica’s legs go limp, she staggers back, holding on the wall.

His words make sense in terms of the profit of the company. But why Jessica thinks he aims at her and

protects Jenny?

Behind the stairs on the third floor, George in white suit observes the whole process. He puts on a big

and teasing smile.

Luke doesn’t care a bit about her feeling when scolding. His words can be overwhelming whether they

make sense or not. It’s been long since they met, but George rarely sees him talk to troublesome

ladies. Does she really like that girl called Jenny?

Seeing Luke is about to disappear at the end of the corridor, Jessica still struggles to say the last

words, holding on the wall, “Don’t you know she has an unclean family? Her father has been serving a

life sentence for corruption since three years ago and her mother committed suicide for taking drugs.

Don’t you know any of those?”

Jenny isn’t as pure as the company defined her. If any of these was released, her image would be

ruined since the society can’t take corruption or drugs.

“Four years ago, she was awarded Golden Bear. In that year, she had many jobs. But a year after, she

faded out of the entertainment circle. It had been three whole years. Who would give up such a good

chance out of no reason? That’s because her father was sent to prison and her mother took drugs due

to depression. All those were hidden deliberately. Three years after, all these passed and she made the

public appearance again.”

Jessica has no idea how those were hidden, either. Even though she says Jenny got help from behind,

but no one has ever given her jobs since she made the public appearance again. Perhaps her helper

abandoned her for a new star? Jessica takes it that way.

Anyway, Jessica doesn’t believe a family with the political and military background would tolerate such

a lady with an unclean family background.

Luke frowns and keeps his hands off the metal door handle of the balcony.
