President's Substitute Wife novel Chapter 348

The title exploded in front of me like a time bomb!

I hurried to the computer and turned the mouse wheel.

I began to watch the news.

Here was a picture.

It was a picture of Sean holding Lester at my engagement dinner with Ming that day.

And Lester and Sean looked very similar in that picture.

Then there was another picture below.

This picture shocked me.

It was a picture of Sean and me.

The picture was a bit fuzzy. It rained heavily and there was no one around. Sean was holding me on the wide road.

I took a close look at it. It was actually a picture when I just arrived in York!

Did someone notice me when I got to York?

Who would this person be if he wasn’t Sean?

I was sitting there and my brain was in a mess. There was only one name in my head.

Ward.

Ward once said that he just wanted to mess up Jessop Family.

If so, he did it!

My heart pounded when I saw these!

God! At this time, I was most afraid that it would hurt Lester or even James!

James was old and certainly couldn’t stand the thrill.

I took the phone out of my pocket and looked at the screen. But I didn’t know who to call for a while.

I couldn’t call Sean.

It was no use calling Ming.

I couldn’t call James either.

I thought about it and called Ward.

I had kept Ward’s phone number since last time.

Soon there was a happy voice from ward over the phone, “Mrs. Jessop? Mrs. Jessop rarely calls me.”

He deliberately used the name Mrs. Jessop all the time.

I guessed it must have something to do with him.

“Let your people withdraw the news.” I said.

“Huh? What are you talking about?” Ward seemed to be drinking water. He swallowed and raised his voice, “Oh, you say that. Am I wrong? Mrs. Jessop?”

This time Ward emphasized the term Mrs. Jessop.

I was angry. “It won’t have any effect on Sean and Ming. They are businessmen. At most, the stock price will fluctuate and then return to normal soon. But Grandpa Jessop is old and can’t stand it!”

“Yes, I just want that old thing to die.”

Ward said.

His words made me cold behind my back. “Your goal is Grandpa Jessop?”

“Yeah, not Sean or Ming. Anyway, I can’t get rid of Jessop Family. I just want James to die.” Ward paused and continued, “I guess Miss Jones doesn’t know how to turn on the recording function.”

Recording?

The phone had recording function!

But I really didn’t know how to do it.

I admitted, “yes, but you are young. Do you have a feud with Grandpa Jessop?”

Ward was not as old as Sean.

James should have abdicated when he started his business.

They were two generations. How could they have a feud?

Ward smiled and said, “I guess James did too many bad things. He must have forgotten what happened to my family.”

“Don’t say that. He...”

“Do you want to speak for him? Don’t you know that your husband Ming’s biggest wish is to kill Jessop Family and him?”

I was stunned by what James said.

I held the phone and after a long time I said, “you’re lying.”

“You can ask him. Even his son wants to kill him. Is he a good man?” Ward knew I was not recording, so he was more unscrupulous. “Are you afraid he’ll die? He did a lot of bad things but didn’t die. He won’t die for it.”

“But...”

“It’s impossible to withdraw the news, but if James really dies because of this, I will definitely invite you to dinner and thank you personally. Ha ha.”

Ward laughed and hung up.

I looked at the screen of my mobile phone, and I felt helpless for a while.

Did Ming want to kill James?

After all, James was not good to Ming’s mother and Ming’s childhood was not happy.

I immediately felt that Jessop Family might be the complex vortex.

Linda looked at me and asked, “what’s the matter?”

“I...” I hesitated and looked at Linda and said, “I’m so confused.”

“Tell me.”

Linda took me to the sofa.

We sat side by side. I looked at Linda. “All of a sudden, I don’t know where I am now.”

“Um.” Linda said, “I won’t interrupt you.”

I told her about my relationship with Sean and Ming and what Ward said just now. Then I said, “I suddenly feel Ming doesn’t love me. Sean may love me. Ming wants me just because Sean loves me.

I’m with Ming because I’m afraid he actually injected Lester with drugs.

Jessop Family is an unshakable mountain. Sean, Ming and the rest of Jessop Family have independent companies but look after each other. But my presence has put the Giant group in crisis. If Ward uses me to piss off James this time, can I continue to stay in Jessop Family?”

Linda listened to me and thought about it and said, “I think the most important thing now is the purpose of Ming. I think he loves you.”

“He doesn’t love me.”

My answer surprised Linda.

I paused and explained to Linda, “Ming doesn’t love me. Before we were engaged, he had an affair with a servant at home. On the day of our engagement dinner, I heard him having sex with the servant. Of course, I don’t know if men and women are the same.”

Women definitely didn’t want to have sex when they met people they didn’t love.

Because she didn’t love him.

Linda frowned and said, “it’s really too complicated.”

“Yes.” I gave a wry smile.

I was so confused.

Once I thought Ming loved me. Most of what he did showed that he loved me.

But a lot happened and I was not sure.

I didn’t even believe he loved me.

“Happy broken pupa, gorgeous new impulse...”

When I was at a loss, my cell phone rang.

I stood up and saw it was Ming.

I had to face it sooner or later.

I answered, “hello.”

“June, I want to see you.”

There was a female voice on the phone.

I quickly recognized that it was Monica’s voice.

Her voice made me realize that she had a purpose.
