Chapter 199
She did not want to snatch Trevor from Leah.
She thought, Oh my goodness!
Jessica took a deep breath.
She did not know what she was doing at that time.
She wanted to make the Queen family proud again after returning to Horington. She did not expect things to escalate to this point.
Everyone in Horington thought that she wanted to marry into a wealthy family. They thought she was a materialistic woman. Now, she had a bad reputation.
She thought it was unnecessary for her to become Jessica from Jessica anyway.
"Jessica, are you all right?" Trevor asked gently, standing at the door.
Jessica lifted her head and met his gaze. The scene became explicitly awkward at once.
"What are you doing? This is a female washroom. How can you shove the door just like this? Others might think of you as a pervert!"
She ran out of the washroom, pulling Trevor with her.
She thought, Is he crazy? Doesn't he know how many big shots are here today? Everyone is observing his behavior! How can he peek into the female washroom? Does he not care about his reputation anymore? "Are you okay?"
Trevor ignored her words. Instead, he pressed his hands against her shoulder and asked her gently.
He thought, Is she really okay? I worried that she might be depressed again.
"I'm fine, Mr. Gulliford. Please pay attention to your behavior. What if someone secretly photographed you barging into the female washroom?"
"Okay."
Trevor nodded. He thought she was more thoughtful than Bennett.
He thought, Actually, it's fine, even if someone secretly photographed me. Who else dares to leak those photos without my permission?
He was confident with his ability.
Two of them returned to the event. Trevor stood before Jessica as if the former were guarding a princess.
The crowd seemed to know their relationship. They would nod to Jessica politely while having a conversation with Trevor.
They did not care who that woman was. They would not despise her for Trevor's sake.
"Mr. Gulliford, longtime no see."
A gangly man walked over to Trevor He was different from most people. He did not seem to respect Trevor.Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
she had his eyes on Jessica
all the time.
"Mr. Whiteburn, please behave yourself unless you think the Whiteburn family is not suffering enough."
Trevor smirked while staring at Alfred with a hint of mockery in his eyes.
Alfred had made the Whiteburn family suffer from significant losses earlier.
However, it was strange when the Whiteburn family had backups to accept their projects and helped them to recover from massive losses.
Trevor even tried to investigate the powerful people supporting the Whiteburn family but to no avail.
"Mr. Gulliford is impressive. But, the Whiteburn family is not weak either," Alfred said, raising the wine glass and toasted Trevor.
Alfred thought, He would never know the one helping the Whiteburn family was his grandpa. Trevor, you are not the only capable guy in this world.
"Ms. Lockett, am I right?" Alfred said, deliberately turning his head to stare at Jessica beside them.
Surprisingly, his gaze turned gentle when he stared at Jessica.
"A guy who was rescued twice by a girl. I wonder if he can take good care of his loved ones?"
Trevor mocked Alfred. The former subconsciously raised the wine glass and downed the content in one
go.
He thought, Alfred wanted me to
find his woman for three years. I let him go because I did not want to do anything to make Jessica hate me more.
