Chapter 82


    “Didn’t you call me?” Marina frowned slightly.


    “I called you? I didn’t.” Jessica shook her head.


    “But I did receive your call and heard themotion on your side, so I went to look for you.” After all,


    Marina would not have the ability to predict misfortune.


    “Ah, I remember now. When I was thrown to the ground by Richard, my phone identally fell. Then, I


    ced my palm on the screen. Perhaps I identally dialed your number at that time.”


    Jessica tried hard to recall the reason for this.


    “Then you’re really lucky. You called me, not others.” Marina also felt Jessica was lucky this time after


    hearing this.


    “I’ve set a shortcut for your phone number.” Jessica did not expect her unintentional action to be


    the key to saving her from her misery.


    “But why did you appear in the hotel with Richard?” Jessica used to be very afraid of Richard very


    much.


    Logically speaking, the two of them should not have any interactions.


    “It’s Sophia who asked me to go over and get something for her. I didn’t expect that person to be


    Richard, nor did I expect that this matter was actually arranged by the two of them…” Jessica didn’t


    hide anything from Marina. When Jessica thought of what Richard had said previously, she felt a chill


    run down her spine.


    “Sophia?” When Marina heard this name, her pretty eyes could not help but narrow. There was ayer


    of coldness in her


    eyes.


    Sophia really refused to stop.


    Previously, Marina had not taught Sophia a lesson because she did not have the time to do so.


    Now, it seemed that Sophia was tired of living. Sophia actually challenged Marina’s bottom line again


    and again.


    “Don’t go back to the Rodriguez family anymore,” Marina said firmly.


    When Jessica heard this, she wanted to say something, but Marina interrupted Jessica again.


    “The Rodriguez family has already treated you like this. Are you still going to stay in the Rodriguez


    family? You have to know that I can’t arrive in time’every time.”


    Jessica immediately stopped talking.


    That was right. Jessica wasn’t always so lucky.


    “But after leaving the Rodriguez family, I don’t know where else I can go…” Jessica’s expression was


    filled with confusion.


    Jessica arrived at the Rodriguez family when she was five years old.


    All these years, other than Marina, Jessica had never made another friend.


    Because every time someone showed a trace of kindness to Jessica, Sophia would publicize Jessica’s


    identity and her mother’s identity.


    Those people would turn around and leave. They would even mock Jessica fiercely.


    After so many such incidents, Jessica no longer looked forward to making any friends.


    Under the long–term oppression of the Rodriguez family, Jessica began to suffer from serious


    interpersonalmunication barriers.


    In fact, because Jessica could notmunicate normally with others, she could not even find a job.


    Jessica did not know where she could go or what she could do after leaving the Rodriguez family.


    “Don’t you still have me? You’ll follow me from now on.” Looking at Jessica’s worried expression,


    Marina could not help but sigh.


    Jessica really did not know how to judge the situation as usual.


    Marina was so powerful. Why had Jessica never thought of relying on Marina?


    “But won’t it be troublesome?” Jessica was a little tempted, but she was also


    very


    afraid.


    Jessica only had Marina as a friend. If it was because Jessica had always troubled Marina and


    eventually made Marina despise her for not having him, then Jessica would really have no friends in


    this world.


    “What trouble can there be? You have been an adult, and you don’t no M


    can’t even take care of yourself?” Marina raised her eyebrows.


    “Of course not!” Jessica denied it at once.


    Sem MA


    or take care of you. Could it be that you


    “That’s okay then. You can rest here for the night first. I’ll bring you to see someone tomorrow,” Marina


    said slowly.


    “Alright.” Jessica had always listened to Marina.


    Now, Jessica was naturally more obedient to Marina.


    Marina was worried that Jessica would suffer from insomnia from the shock today.

    Therefore, Marina nned to sleep with Jessica tonight.


    Simon waited alone in the master bedroom for a long, but Marina did not return.


    Simon just couldn’t help but send her a message.


    A momentter, Marina replied.


    However, the content inside made Simon’s ck eyes narrow.


    Noting back?


    [How can you sleep without me?] Simon did not give up and sent another message.


    However, this message was like a stone sinking into the sea, and there was no reply from the other


    side.


    Símon was speechless.


    Simon felt that he had picked up a problem for himself today.


    Simon turned to look at the empty bed beside him.


    Suddenly, Simon felt that this bed seemed to be ridiculously big.


    That night, Simon did not sleep at all.


    The situation on Marina’s side was simr to Simon’s.


    The next morning, Gavin came over to deliver breakfast to the two of them.


    Gavin realized that the two big shots‘ expressions were getting worse and worse.


    What was going on?


    Did they quarrel?


    That shouldn’t be the case.


    Based on Simon’s solicitous attitude toward Marina, even if they quarreled, Simon would definitely


    apologize first.


    Then what was going on now?


    Just as Gavin was thinking, a thin and weak youngdy walked out of the guest room beside him.


    Huh?


    Why was there another youngdy?


    Was Simon nning to woo another woman?


    No way!


    That was so exciting!

    Could Marina agree?


    Gavin’s inner thoughts were already in turmoil.


    Jessica didn’t know if it was because she was frightened yesterday or because Marina was with her,


    but she felt especially at


    ease.


    When Jessica woke up this morning, it was almost ten o’clock.


    Jessica quickly got up in a hurry. Unexpectedly, she met a stranger the moment she stepped out of the


    door.


    That person stared at her without blinking. Jessica started to feel a little anxious and uneasy again.


    Even Jessica’s ears turned red.


    “What are you looking at? Do you believe that I’ll dig out your eyeballs if you keep looking?” Noticing


    Jessica’s unnatural expression, Marina narrowed her eyes and red at Gavin.


    Gavin retracted his gaze at once.


    Then, Gavin looked at Simon with admiration.


    Simon was so great. He actually could make his women stay together so harmoniously.


    “Stop your filthy thoughts,” Simon said firmly. With just one nce, Simon knew what Gavin was


    thinking.


    Gavin rubbed his nose guiltily and moved to Simon’s side at once.


    Gavin lowered his voice. “Mr. Hernandez, don’t tell me that this youngdy is your new girlfriend?”


    Hmph!


    His new girlfriend?


    Simon thought that it was Marina’s new girlfriend.


    Marina really didn’te backst night.

    When Marina needed Simon, she would be solicitous.


    When Marina didn’t need Simon, she didn’t care about him slightly.


    What a heartless youngdy.
