In the evening, the sunset spread all over, adding a touch of warmth to the entire villa.Jessica was reading in the living room. After being physically disabled, besides watching movies and chatting online, reading books became her biggest pastime!She suddenly realized that being a housewife was not easy!It's so boring every day!How do those upper-class women live their lives?Jessica was very curious. They don't work because they are afraid of bringing shame to their families. They occasionally attend parties and cocktail parties, so what do they do with the rest of their time?Anyway, she found it quite boring.Time passed little by little, and when she grew old, she suddenly realized that she hadn't done anything. The vivid and colorful moments in her memories were almost non-existent. Isn't that a kind of regret?Maybe it's because different people have different pursuits!Hearing the sound of a car, Jessica faintly curled her lips. Marcus and Henry were back!Her melancholic
"That old man, his mind is completely abnormal, he always does some perverted things!""I agree, he, Old Mr. Alston, and you, none of you are normal!" Jessica said lightly, with a hint of joking, "All very twisted!"The only difference is that the perversions of those two old men are annoying, but Mr. Marcus's perversions are occasionally cute."Mr. Marcus, do you mind telling me about the grudges between Old Mr. Alston, Old Mr. Lee, and Diana Brown?""Why do you want to know?" Marcus unexpectedly, didn't get angry this time. His cold gaze swept over, exceptionally cold and intimidating, dispelling the warmth created by the setting sun. Like autumn wind and fallen leaves, desolate for miles.Jessica remained silent, thinking that Mr. Marcus was chilling. To reach such a level of coldness, one must have a certain state of mind."Old Mr. Alston looked at me for the first time with an expression like he wanted to swallow me whole. When Old Mr. Lee saw me for the first time, the spirited
Mr. Marcus looked at Henry, then at Jessica, calmly picked up a magazine, casually flipped through it, and said, "There's nothing more to say!"She wanted to ask if Mr. Marcus was Old Mr. Alston's son or Old Mr. Lee's son.She always felt that Mr. Marcus bore some resemblance to Old Mr. Lee.But he didn't want to talk about it anymore, and she didn't want to force him. After all, it was not a pleasant memory. It was full of bitterness, humiliation, and hatred. Revealing someone's scars was not Jessica's style, especially Mr. Marcus's scars.Everyone has a scar on their heart, and no matter how close they are, they are not allowed to touch it.If he wanted to say it, she would listen. If he didn't, it didn't matter much. She was not a petty woman."Hey, are you so engrossed in it? Do you know what the magazine is about?" Jessica couldn't help but tease when she saw him so focused on the magazine. She didn't believe Mr. Marcus would be interested in all the gossip about him and Crystal
The next day, after Marcus and Henry left the house, Jessica also went downstairs with her crutches. She was about to have breakfast when she received a call from Grace. "Jessica, turn on the TV right away!"Her voice sounded urgent, and Jessica was surprised as she turned on the TV...Her face instantly turned pale!Almost all the local TV stations were broadcasting a news report: Miss Crystal attempted suicide by slashing her wrists at home last night and was rushed to the hospital, her life hanging in the balance!The news of Miss Crystal's suicide spread like wildfire and quickly spread throughout the entire city of W.When Marcus arrived at Noblefull Group, Susan showed him the morning newspaper. Susan nervously said, "Mr. Marcus, Old Mr. Alston wants you to go to the hospital to see Miss Crystal!"Marcus furrowed his eyebrows tightly, his gaze unusually cold, and the veins on the back of his hand swelled. The aura emanating from him made Susan tremble in fear!She realized in fe
Downstairs came the sound of bangs, indicating that it had almost been destroyed. Jessica was furious and frustrated, craving snake soup. She loved this house so much, and now it had been ravaged like this...No, this was not the time for such thoughts!Find the firearms!Mr. Marcus said they were there, they had to be!There was a pounding impact on the door. Jessica's hand trembled, and the drawer almost fell out. Her face turned pale in shock. It was the closest she had ever felt to death.Frantically, she went through each drawer one by one. Suddenly, there came a loud crash.Bang! The entire door was smashed open by the python, wood splinters flying. Its round, bulging eyes locked onto Jessica, as if saying, "Where do you think you can escape?"It slowly slithered inside, and Jessica fiercely smashed the drawers in her hand. "Die!"The tail of the python wrapped around, smashing the drawer against the wall. The massive LCD screen was rendered useless, and shattered glass covered
Jessica was sent to the hospital, and Marcus accompanied her all the way. Two police officers followed to take their statements, while Henry stayed at the scene for investigation.When Jessica called Marcus, he quickly notified Henry to come home, so he arrived just in time.Henry sat in Marcus' car and took out his handheld computer from his backpack. He had three computers - a desktop, a laptop, and this miniature solar-powered handheld computer that he had assembled himself. It was small in size but highly functional.Amid the chaos, no one would pay attention to this little boy. He took the surveillance footage and only his father would come up with the rest.To be cautious, he took all the footage from the monitors for that period.After finishing, he closed the computer, got out of the car, and hailed a taxi to the hospital.When Henry arrived at the hospital, Mr. Marcus had already given his statement, and the two police officers had left."Daddy, what did you say?" Henry asked
With a ruthless kick, Marcus threw open Crystal's room door. He entered the room exuding a cold and menacing aura, his icy gaze piercing.Inside the room, Crystal and Old Mr. Walker were watching the news. LN International Media quickly reported the news about the python and the villa explosion.Seeing Marcus's arrival, Crystal hurriedly turned off the television, a look of surprise on her face. Her pale face blushed with excitement. "Marcus, did you come to see me?""Indeed, I've come to see you!" Marcus's cold voice suddenly became disgustingly gentle. The smile on his face resembled that of a devil, terrifying anyone who saw it.Crystal's eyes welled up with tears, her face filled with pain. "I thought you heartlessly refused to come and see me, Marcus. I'm so happy to see you. You still care about me, don't you?""Of course, I care about you!" Marcus's face was cold as he slowly walked towards the hospital bed.Old Mr. Walker thought that the two young people would reconcile, so h
Jessica couldn't help but feel that she and this hospital were destined to have some kind of connection.Within a month, she had been admitted twice, and both times were miserable because of Marcus."Baby, I feel like I'm at odds with W City." Jessica ate the apple puree Henry made for her, expressing her thoughts on her hospital stay. Although her complexion was excessively pale, her spirits seemed to be quite good."I agree!" Henry smiled and handed her the morning newspaper. "Mommy, you've become a female superhero!"Jessica glanced at it and was speechless. It was just her story of killing the python, it didn't seem worthy of such publicity. The audience must be too lonely and in need of some fresh entertainment.Female superhero, hmm, it was not a bad title.However, the female superhero shouldn't have nightmares about being bitten by a terrifying creature like she did last night. She saw the creature lunging at her head, and she even saw her head getting bitten off, blood splatt
