Chapter 176
Hearing what Wendy said, Judy was stunned on the spot.
What did Jessica’s secretary say just now?
Judy had never thought that Jessica could be so capable and cruel.
Wendy brought the two bodyguards out of the room and repeated Jessica’s words to them. “You guys wait outside. You can leave when that man enters the room. Remember, she is not allowed to leave this room tonight. Understood?”
The task was not difficult. The two men found it easy to earn a thousand dollars this evening. They quickly nodded. “Understood.”
Wendy nodded and walked into the elevator.
Jessica received a call from Hannah as soon as she walked out of the hotel.
“Jess, are you done yet? I have ‘invited’ Grace to Cloud Top. Mona has had her stay in a private room on the third floor. No guests there today.”
“Alright, I’ll be there soon.” Jessica raised her eyebrows.
After hanging up the phone, Jessica got into her car and drove straight to Cloud Top.
As soon as Jessica arrived, she saw Hannah waiting for her at the door.
She smiled and walked over to Hannah.
She went straight to the hotel after leaving the company today, so she didn’t have time to change her clothes. The white blouse and the black skirt did not fit the atmosphere of Cloud Top well.
However, she wasn’t there for fun today.
They walked into Cloud Top together and took the staff-only elevator straight to the third floor.
Hannah pushed open the door of the private room and saw Grace sitting on the sofa with her legs crossed as well as Mona across from Grace. Grace looked sullen.
“Jessica, take a seat. This is a new cocktail we recently made. Come and try it.” Mona saw Jessica walk in and immediately greeted her with a smile.
“Yes, this fruit cocktail is made with passion fruit and Tequila. It tastes very delicious. Try it!” Hannah suggested
Jessica didn’t want to drink, but she still took a sip when her two friends enthusiastically persuaded her,
“Not bad.” She raised her eyebrows slightly. This wine tasted smooth.
“You should trust me. I have a taste for nothing but drinks,” Hannah said with a smile.
“I don’t care for your little gathering. If there’s nothing else, I’ll go home now.” Grace had been ignored since Jessica entered the room. Her face got sullen and her tone unfriendly.
Jessica and Hannah stopped talking and looked at her together.
Hannah and Mona tacitly didn’t say anything before Jessica. Jessica just smiled at Grace.
Grace became impatient. She stood up and looked at the three women in front of her. “I’m sorry. Please
excuse me.”
Grace walked to the door and opened it. Before she stepped out, she saw Wendy and the bodyguards in black suits standing behind Wendy.
“Miss Sandoval, come back and stay for a while with us.” Jessica chuckled as she looked at Grace’s back.
“Miss Hall, what do you mean?” Grace turned to look at Jessica, her beautiful eyes filled with anger.
“Miss Sandoval, take a look at this.” Jessica took out a document from a bag and tossed it at Grace.
Grace flipped through the document. Her expression stiffened slightly, but then soon returned to nor mal. She closed the papers, looked at Jessica, and snorted. “I don’t know what you mean.”
“I don’t know why Miss Sandoval has gone to all the trouble to set me up.”
“Set you up? Miss Hall, are you a little paranoid or something?” Grace’s tone was a little disdainful.
Hannah and Mona were dumbfounded. They both found that Grace was no longer as gentle and lovely as when she was with Terry that day.
Right now, Grace turned her head like a bad-tempered rich girl.
“Jess has found out about everything. Why are you still so stubborn?” Hannah said, “If you don’t say anything today, don’t even think about leaving.”
“Do you think I am the same as those ordinary women?” Grace looked at Hannah and then shifted her look to Jessica. “I know that the Hall family is rich and powerful. Although my family is not as influential as the Hall family, I won’t let anyone bully me.”
“So you think the Davison family is your backer? Just because you know Terry?” Jessica frowned slightly
