"You ... you're a devil!" Linda is so frightened that her legs go limp. She suddenly understands everything. "You treated me so well just for that.... All you want is to avenge Angelina!"
"Look, Miss Young. You're quite smart." Leigh approaches her and whispers, "But your father is not as lucky as you. He didn't even know how he died."
Linda almost screams and trembles. "My father didn't die in the car accident. You killed him, didn't you?"
"No, I am a law-abiding citizen. I never broke the law."
"Leigh, you're a devil! Give my father back to me!" Linda screams crazily and slams Leigh, but she is thrown to the ground.
Linda tries to get up from the ground with both hands and feet, as if she is about to tear Leigh apart.
Leigh kicks her in the abdomen.
Linda screams, curling up in pain and trembling.
Leigh's cold gaze sweeps past her as if he is looking down at a dirt. He walks to the desk and dials the internal line. "Send two security guards to the President's Office to clean up the garbage."
Three minutes later, two burly security guards enter the President's Office and clean up the "garbage" on the floor.
Leigh sits back in his chair and immerses himself in the work.
It is as if nothing happened here just now.
After a while, the ringtone of his phone disturbs Leigh, who is handling the documents.
He looks at the screen. It is from a servant of Tourmaline Community.
"What's wrong?"
"Mr. Leigh, are you coming tonight?" The servant asks in a cautious tone, "Miss Jessie has been vomiting severely these past few days. The doctor came and said that she should eat something even if she would vomit. Otherwise, the baby..."
Leigh's eyes darken as he says coldly, "If she vomits, cook for her again! What? I didn't give you enough money, so you make few meals for her every day?"
"No, it's just that Miss Jessie always vomits in the next second after she eats something. There's nothing we can do about it."
"I'll be there tonight!" Leigh hangs up the phone.
At the thought of that skinny woman, he feels very annoyed. He looks at his watch. It is already past five. He simply packs up and leaves.
On the way to the underground garage by elevator, Leigh sends a message to someone, ordering him to post the video and photos online at six.
After that, he puts the phone back in his pocket.
When Leigh drives to Tourmaline Community, it is already dark.
He enters the house but doesn't see Jessie. His face drops as he asks the servant, "She didn't come downstairs today?"
"No, she did come..." The servant hurriedly replies, "When the sun shone brightly in the afternoon, Miss Jessie stayed in the garden for a while. She went upstairs at about three and didn't come downstairs anymore."
Leigh's expression darkens.
He hands his coat to the servant and orders, "Bring me the dinner and I'll take it to her."
"Yes."
The servants do not dare to delay at all. They place the prepared dinner on a plate and hand it to Leigh.
Watching as Leigh goes upstairs, the servants do not even dare to breathe.
Leigh carries the plate to the third floor and opens the bedroom door.
After he steps in, his gaze is fixed on Jessie who is sitting by the window.
She is dressed in a light gray housecoat, concentrating on the book in her hand. Her arms are slender, as if they can be broken with a slight pinch. She looks weak and pitiful.
He walks over, places the plate on the desk, pulls a chair over, and sits opposite her.
