Chapter 2923

"But I heard that a man was here for you a few days ago" said Jessica deliberately as she tilted her head.

Huh? Joan looked down, trying to recall the preceding event.

After a minute, she finally managed to remember.

"What nonsense have you been hearing? It was just the son of the lady next door.She was here to give me a cake, and her son came here to pick her up" she explained.

Oh.So that's what happened.

Jessica's mood improved almost instantaneously, which differed from Joan's as she scrutinized the former unhappily.Has she been watching me?

"Jessica, have you been monitoring me?" she questioned coldly.

Joan despised such behaviors the most.

She preferred to sort things out face to face instead of doing things in the dark, especially when it involved her.

Oh, shit! I'm dead! Jessica's whole body trembled.

How do I tell her that Larry's the one who informed me about this and has asked me to investigate this matter? She'd definitely be devastated if I told her the truth since she has instructed me not to tell anyone regarding her whereabouts.

But if I didn't, she'd get the wrong idea about me.

Jessica was in a dilemma, but she still responded, "Of course not.

What kind of person do you think I am? I wouldn't be asking you in person if I had been watching you in secret, would I? It's just that one of my friends, who had met you before, recently passed by this place, and she saw the man;’ she lied with a straight face on, hoping that Joan would fall for it.

D*mn it, this is terrifying! Larry, you'd better treat me to a meal for this! Jessica clutched her chest, trying to calm her palpitating heartbeat.

"My poor heart.Do hang in there; she mumbled to herself with her eyes closed.

"What are you talking about?"

Joan suddenly whispered right beside her ear.

"Ah!"
