President’s Sweet Wife novel Chapter 78

Hazel's voice came through the door.

“Jessica, are you still inside? I brought you your dress.”

Jessica rearranged her expression and turned around to open the door.

“Thank you.”

“You're welcome.”

Hazel smiled, noticed her abnormal look and asked with concern, “Jessica, are you all right?”

Jessica forced a smile and shook her head.

Although she shook her head, she seemed to have something on her mind, looking very sad.

How could Hazel not see it?

She said in worry, “Jessica, did Natalia that bitch bully you again? What did she tell you?”

Jessica still shook her head.

After a pause, she took Hazel’s hand and said, “I'm fine. I'm just... I'm just worried.”

“Worried about what?

“I...”

Jessica hung her head and her eyes sparkled.

“Jessica, come on, what is it?”

Jessica said in a soft voice, “You may not believe it, I also feel unbelievable, I did not expect my sister would be like that, I really...”

As she spoke, she had a tone of crying gradually.

Her pretty little face looked as if she was to cry.

Hazel could not stand it and said, “I knew it! It must be that bitch bullying you again! What did she do?”

Jessica shook her head and it took her a while to recover her mood. She said, “After you sent Josie away, she stopped me and said that the manuscript I painted five years ago is in her hand, and tonight as long as she takes out that manuscript, she can prove that it is her work.”

Hazel widened her eyes in disbelief.

“Damn! What a bitch? Wouldn't that make you slander her?”

Jessica nodded.

“What a shameless woman!”

“Hazel, you are my best sister, and I only dare to tell you about it. I really don't know what to do. You know, my sister is good at talking, and I'm really afraid that she's going to take out that manuscript to slander me, and then I'll be screwed.”

Hazel said indignantly, “Jessica, don't worry, since she dares to say so, it means that she has that manuscript with her now. As long as we get that manuscript out before she does, we'll be all right.”

Jessica looked at her blankly and in surprise.

“Steal, steal it?

Hazel nodded with certainty.

“Yes.”

“But......will it be bad?”

“Nothing bad, that's what she's done!”

Then Hazel noticed Jessica’s embarrassed eyes

She patted her chest irritably.

“Don't worry, you don’t have to do it. I'll take care of it for you. All you have to do is to help me keep her from going to her room.”

Jessica looked at her and hesitated for a long time.

Finally she said, “Well...... All right!”

“Change clothes first, I will go out now.”

“Well, thank you, Hazel.”

After Hazel went out and closed the door, Jessica got up.

Hesitation and weakness disappeared on her pretty face.

Her face was full of disdain and loathing.

She swore in a low voice, “stupid”, and then looked at the dress, which was obviously an improvised, ill-fitting one in disgust, and changed it.

...

The hall began to fill up. And the event in the school was over.

Natalia skillfully walked through the crowd, talking and laughing.

She used to not like such occasions, and later being a public relations director in the Glory Group for two years, she had to socialize and gradually she got used to it.

The previous farce in such a lively atmosphere was not mentioned by anyone, as if it had never happened.

After all, even the big news was nothing to them.

It was just topic when they had chat, but today it was obviously not the occasion to chat about that. The guests present were mostly not rich or powerful, they would not talk about the trifles of the school days?

What's more, Natalia was elegant, people were subconsciously reluctant to associate her with the that girl in the scandal five years ago.

In short, it had been over. Since the parties were not willing to dispute, they naturally would not talk about it.

Therefore, they did not estranged Natalia because of that, and a few rich and young men came to greet with her because of her stunning beauty.

Natalia did not refuse and responded gently and politely, which showed respect to others and showed no arrogance.

She had been in the circle for years and knew all too well the way of the world.

A lot of people were like a dude, actually the relationship was complicated, maybe one day she needed their help.

One more friend was better than one more enemy.

Not far away, Shawn looked at her shuttling in the crowd with a somber face.

Until a clear, soft voice came from behind.

“Shawn.”

He turned to see Jessica, put down the wine glass in hand and pulled her over.

“You saw her? Are you all right?”

Jessica shook her head.

“It's okay, she's just a little sad. I'll leave Lily up there with her. She will be all right soon.”

“Good.”

Shawn said nothing after that and took another glass of wine, sipping it mouthful by mouthful.

Jessica was disappointed to see this.

“Shawn, you have nothing to tell me?”

Shawn froze and looked at her, “Tell you what?”

Jessica, “...”

There was unspeakable bitterness in her heart and gradually her eyes became wet.

She forced a smile and bent her head slightly.

“I thought you would care why I changed my clothes.”

Shawn was stunned.

He took a careful look, only to find that Jessica was wearing another dress.

His face changed. He felt embarrassed and coughed.

“I'm sorry. I was thinking about something and I didn’t notice it. What's wrong? Why did you change your clothes?”

His unease tone and vision made Jessica upset.

She looked at Shawn and obviously found dodge in his eyes and he was perfunctory. She felt sad in the heart.

“Nothing, I accidentally got spilled all over with wine.”

She said in an angry tone.

She didn't mention who did it, but she supposed he could guess it.
