A Flash Marriage Can Be A Treasure novel Chapter 387

"They are from my wine collection. You are wasting them!" Seeing Leigh gulp the wine down, Justin takes them from him.

Leigh's phone rings.

He looks at it and frowns. Then, his brows are unknitted. Putting his phone back in his pocket, Leigh says, "I'm leaving for a few days. Go to Tourmaline Community tomorrow and see how Jessie is doing for me."

"Sure enough, you're still together." Justin sighs.

He knows that when he feels that Leigh is in a bad mood.

He asks, "Is it about Mr. Clay?"

Leigh doesn't answer. Justin shakes his head and blames him, "Leigh, you are too reckless. You could have produced evidence and sent him to prison. Isn't it better to do it in the prison?"

"In the prison, it won't be easy to do it."

"But the thing gets serious." Justin is worried, "Five people are dead. HS Group made a very positive contribution to Calgary's GDP growth. They won't stop without finding the culprit."

"I asked Kay to do it. He's meticulous. No one will find out." Leigh doesn't worry too much, takes the wine from Justin, and gulps it down.

"You...." Justin doesn't know what to say, "Does Jessie know about it?"

"..."

"You imprisoned her, didn't you?"

"..."

Leigh's expression tells Justin that he's right.

He frowns. Just as he's about to say something, Leigh places an empty wine bottle on the refrigerator.

Leigh's face looks only a little red, and his eyes are still clear and bright, "Justin, don't forget to go to Tourmaline Community tomorrow. I'll be leaving now."

"I'm a scientist, not a doctor!" Feeling furious, Justin shouts at him, "Can't you send a personal doctor?"

He only hears the sound of the door closing.

"..."

Looking at the beer cans on the floor, Justin gnashes his teeth, "I shouldn't have opened the door!"

'And he has drunk two bottles of wine!'

--

Learning from the servant that Jessie is covered in bruises and more silent than before, Jana is sure that Jessie and Leigh have broken up for good.

'Since they have broken up, it'll be a matter of time before she leaves.'

Being together with Leigh, she is living a much better life and feels superior to her friends. She even dreams about her future life and keeps smiling when sleeping.

The next day, she gets up early. Putting on a nightgown, she goes downstairs.

"You did a good job." There are few servants in the room, so Jana calls Bonnie over and gives her a large sum of money.

"Thank you, Miss Jana." Bonnie grins, putting away the money.

"By the way," Jana remembers something and whispers to Bonnie, "Did she take birth control pills?"

"Probably not." Bonnie is not sure. Thinking for a while, she says, "Mr. Leigh asked us to take note of her ovulation period. It seems that he wants her to get pregnant. So, he may not allow her to take the pills."

Jana agrees. There is a flash of viciousness in her eyes.

'Jessie and Leigh finally break up. It'll be a big problem if Jessie gets pregnant.'

'I don't want to share that man with Jessie anymore.'

Jana gestures Bonnie over and whispers in her ear, "There are birth control pills in my bedroom's drawer. Go get it, crush it, and put it into the milk. Then, bring it to her."

"I'm not sure we should do this, Miss Jana." Bonnie hesitates.

"This is just between us. No need to be afraid." Jana says, "She and Leigh are in such a bad relationship that she definitely doesn't want to get knocked up. I'm just helping her. Bring the milk to her. It is she who's gonna decide whether to drink it. Don't worry. I'll give you more money tonight."

As expected, Bonnie swallows it whole. She wants the money. Hesitating for a while, she nods, "Okay, I'll go ahead and bring the milk upstairs."

"I know I'm right to leave it to you." Jana smiles.

Bonnie prepares breakfast for Jessie and brings it to the third floor.

After breakfast, Jana stretches herself and is going to take a nap. The beautician is coming in the afternoon for her beauty care.

Just as she is about to go upstairs, the doorbell rings.

A servant, who is cleaning the living room, opens the door and asks in surprise, "Who are you, Sir?"

"My name is Justin. Leigh sent me here."

Jana trembles when hearing the name, 'Is it the Justin?'

She turns around and sees a tall, slender young man standing at the door and carrying a medical kit, 'It is Justin, the famous scientist!'

'Leigh knows Justin?!'

While Jana is still in shock, the servant has brought Justin to her and says, "Miss Jana, this is Mr. Leigh's friend. He said he was here to visit Miss Jessie."

Looking at the dashing man, Jana regains her composure, "Hello, Mr. Justin."

Justin nods.

He turns to the servant and says, "I have an experiment to do in the afternoon. Please lead the way. I have to go after visiting Miss Jessie."

"Mr. Justin, I'll take you upstairs!" Jana says. Bonnie has brought the milk to the third floor, and Jana's afraid that Justin will find something out, "I'm available."

The servant reminds Jana, "Miss Jana, have you forgotten that Mr. Leigh doesn't allow you to go to the third floor."

'This damn servant!'

Cursing the servant in her mind, Jana keeps smiling, "Right. Leigh fought with Miss Jessie yesterday. I'm so worried about Miss Jessie that I forget about it."

Justin flashes Jana a look.

And with one look, he has read Jana's mind.

He smiles, "Miss Jana is beautiful and kind. She's willing to share Justin with another woman and even cares about her."

Jana manages to keep her composure, "Leigh is into her, and I don't want to upset Leigh."

"..."

"Since Miss Jana can't go up to the third floor, then the servant can lead the way." Justin says.

He ignores Jana, following the servant to the third floor.

Jana pats her chest in shock, 'Justin must have seen through my thoughts. It's scary.'

'Will Bonnie do it right?'

Upstairs, Bonnie knocks on the door, turns the knob, and goes inside.

Bonnie thought that Jessie would be depressed and still in bed after being hit by Justin last night.

However, having washed her face and brushed her teeth, Jessie is sitting in the sun, reading a book.

Freezing for a while, Bonnie walks over and places a tray on the table, "Miss Jessie, here is your breakfast."

Bonnie steals a look at Jessie. She seems not in a good mood. Hearing Bonnie's voice, she puts down the book and picks up the glass of warm milk.

"Miss Jessie, then I'll leave you to it." Bonnie lowers her head and backs away, her hands sweating.

She's a little guilty about doing it, but the temptation of money is too great, 'It is Miss Jessie who wants to drink it. I only bring the milk over and have nothing to do with it.'

Bonnie gets out of the bedroom. Before she can be relieved, she sees another servant and Justin.

"Bonnie, did you bring breakfast to Miss Jessie?" The servant says, "This is Mr. Leigh's friend. He's here to visit Miss Jessie."
