Chapter 15 'I Think' Didn't Work At All

Clutching the divorce agreement, Jessie looked at Mark's side face suspiciously with her dark apricot eyes.

'Did he already know?

How could it be?

But it didn't matter whether he knew it or not. I hadn't done anything yet. She could just go back to her old life. That's not a big deal.'

All of a sudden, Darren's words echoed in her mind repeatedly, 'You can't get divorced...'

What should she do? Jessie was going to be crazy!

As soon as they arrived at the villa of the Lan family, they entered the villa of Mark directly.

When Jessie was vexed that she might sleep in the same room with Mark, to her surprise, the servant opened the door and told her Mark would live next door. She could not be happier. After the servant left, Jessie laughed for a while. Then she began to unpack and collect her clothes.

Although there were all kinds of clothes in the wardrobe, compared with those big brand ladies' clothes, Jessie still preferred her own clothes.

However, before she could pack up all the stuff, she suddenly remembered the jade pendant which she took back from the scene of the accident! She remembered that she had put it in the underwear box. Now the box was here, but the jade pendant was gone?

Jessie thought about it over and over again. She was afraid that she would forget where she put the jade pendant occasionally. But as she recalled from the day of the car accident, she had only seen the

jade pendant at that night. After that, it had been put in the box and never been moved. How could it be thrown to other places?

'Was it...? Was it stolen by the servants who packed up her stuff?' she wondered.

Then she started to search for it over and over!

At last, Jessie didn't find what she wanted, she fell asleep on a pile of clothes.

"Sir, I've checked. Blake was suspicious."

"What is it?"

"The criminal investigation team leader, George Wang, was a high school classmate and a good friend of Blake Wu. This time, it was Blake who deliberately forged evidence to let George lock up Mrs. Jessie on the charge of intentional homicide. His purpose was to take this opportunity to force Mrs. Jessie to marry him."

"Does he like her?"

"Yes."

Sitting on the leather chair, with his sharp and deep eyes staring at somewhere, Mark tapped the table with his slender fingers, and immersed deeply in thought.

Seeing that Mark didn't say a word, Nick continued, "Besides, the Lin Group's capital chain has been broken. They had serious quality problems of the product. Blake played tricks behind all of it. Now most of the principal management personnel of the Lin Group are people of Blake. He also has registered two holding companies abroad mainly in order to gain the Lin Group's shares. I have checked the two

companies, both of them don't have actual business. I think his purpose was not as simple as just to take over the Lin Group. I'm afraid of Mrs. Jessie..."

Mark raised his eyebrows and looked at him. Did Blake want both Jessie and the Lin Group?

He overestimated himself!

Suddenly, he gave a sly smile and said, "Leave him alone. I'd like to see what else tricks he has."

Early next morning, Jessie was awakened by a knock on the door.

Although they didn't hold a wedding ceremony, as a daughter-in-law who has just joined the family, she had to follow the rules.

Just when Jessie was about to go to the main building in a casual sportswear, she saw Mark outside her room. Without saying a word, she was thrown back to change clothes. However, even though she had changed her clothes for two or three times, Mark was still not satisfied with them. Jessie felt so furious that she gritted her teeth.

She wasn't dressing up for him. Why was he so picky!

Jessie's intuition was telling her that it was just a trick Mark played on her.

In the end, Mark picked a rosy pink cheongsam from the wardrobe and asked Jessie to put it on. She tied up her long hair and made a bun. When Mark was satisfied, they went downstairs to the main building.

The first morning after the new daughter-in-law joined in, she had to get up early to greet her parents in law. Because of Mark's disability, he couldn't kneel down. Jessie knelt down to serve tea, while Mark

was sitting on a wheelchair.

"Please have some tea, father."

"Good!" Nelson took over a cup of tea from Jessie. He sipped a bit and put it down. He handed a golden red packet to her and said, "Jessie! From now on, you are Mark's wife of our Lan family. Although Mark were the third son, you are the first daughter-in-law married into our family. I will ask you to help me deal with all my family affairs in the future. If you had anything you don't understand, you can ask Teresa."

"I know. I will definitely learn from Teresa."

"Good! I know you're a good girl. I trust you."

When she knew she would marry into the Lan family, Darren had told her that she should listen to Nelson, not to do anything against him, and take good care of him...... Darren's words were just some ordinary words, but Jessie could understand what he actually meant. Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

Nelson was smiling in a gentle way, while Jessie pretended to be filial obedience. However, she was really stressed living here.

Especially when Nelson asked why they lived in different rooms. She cursed inside her mind. It's just a play. Live together would be fine. Why did they have to sleep in the same room?

The thought of sleeping in the same bed with him made Jessie chilling down.

After went through the process, the two of them walked out of the study. Jessie pulled Mark's hand right away and asked, "HMM... Do we have to sleep together?"

"What do you think?"

Jessie didn't say a word, but she was very unhappy.

What do you think? What she thought was totally nonsense to them at all in the end. Why bother to ask what she thought!

As the third son of the Lan family, he dared not say one single word, how could she say no. Seeing that Mark had entered the elevator, Jessie sighed and walked to the elevator too.

"Good morning, Leslie." Just getting out of the elevator, Jessie saw Leslie coming over. She greeted him out of politeness.

"Good morning, Jessie. Where is Mark? Why you are alone?"

"Oh, he is in the dining room now."

Leslie said indifferently, but his eyes were full of affection and surprise.

Nelson had always spoiled him, so Leslie was always very reckless and acted like a tyrant outside. He could get anything he wanted. Even though he knew that Jessie was his sister-in-law, he didn't think there was anything wrong with that.

Now, looking at her curvaceous figure covered by cheongsam, with a touch of makeup that was just right, he felt so itchy and couldn't help liking her.

If it hadn't been for the shareholders' meeting in a while and couldn't be delayed, he would really have done it now, immediately, to pull her to his villa and get her.

"Father, brothers, I'm full. Please excuse me."

"Jessie, you are eating like a bird! Don't starve yourself."

Seeing the smile on Leslie's face, Jessie felt so sick as if she had just eaten a fly.

She smiled and said, "I don't eat much. That's enough for me. I haven't finished unpacking my things yet. Father, I'll go back first."

On the first breakfast served in the Lan family, Jessie ate a few in a hurry and left the table. She couldn't stand Leslie's lecher look anymore. If the Lan family's members were not here, she was not sure whether she would reward him with a few punches.

Why did he get up so early in the morning with a lecher look to me? Anyone with eyes would find that he was vicious. But the most ridiculous thing was, no one had ever accused him.

Even Mark, didn't do anything about it. He just ate and was like a blind who could not see anything.

After getting back to her room, Jessie changed a suit of casual clothes and put her hair down. Then she sat on the ground with her legs crossed, starting to gather up her clothes with suppressed anger.

Someone knocked on the door and said, "Mrs. Jessie, Mr. Mark asked you to get ready. You will go to the Lin family later."

"Ah! Okay!" Jessie quickly got up and put on a white dress. After fixing her makeup, she went downstairs happily.

However, when she happily returned to the Lin family's house, what was waiting for her was an unexpected "surprise"!
