It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 1442

"What are you going to do?" Jessica felt a sudden rush of panic, as Luke walked towards her. That was typical of Jessica: she only had the nerve to bully someone who was vulnerable. But once they began standing up for themselves, she would cower back almost at once.

"Don't worry," assured Luke mockingly, "You're too vulgar to be my taste." Suddenly, Luke slapped Jessica across the face. He had worn the glove to prevent his hands from touching her. Luke took it off, and flung it on the ground to humiliate Jessica further.

Hearing what Luke said, one of his men's mouth twitched. Edward would have been furious if he was present and heard Luke accuse Jessica of being vulgar. After all, she was still once Edward's taste.

Kevin took care of the case personally, and made sure Jessica spent the rest of her life in prison. After all, no one wanted such a dangerous person out in the open. Kevin's priority was to protect his loved ones. It was the first time he made use of his job to deal with personal matters. Jessica was indeed a special case. She deserved everything she got in the end, trying to murder Leena. Even though she failed, it was still attempted murder. The police would never go easy on her even if Kevin didn't involve himself.

The next day, Dorothy called Leena. She wanted to apologize to her.

"Mrs. Gu, I'm so sorry for what I did to you," she apologized. Being told that Jessica was caught, Dorothy began to worry about her video being exposed to the public, and so she confessed everything to Edward. Even though she did get involved once in the murder, fortunately, she didn't hurt anyone. Besides, she was a signed entertainer of FX International Group now. It would do the company no good if her career was ruined. So Edward went easy on her, warning her to be more careful after getting her video back.

"It's okay. You should call the police the next time something like this happens again. In that case, you won't be threatened by someone," Leena knew Dorothy was up to something when she took the initiative to approach her. But Leena didn't expect that she was simply a poor girl who was being controlled by someone vicious.

"I'm so sorry!" She looked remorseful. "As you know, for us entertainers, any scandal, no matter how small, would ruin our career. So I panicked when she came to me. I didn't have any other choice but to obey her first. I didn't mean to hurt you. And I'm so sorry for what I did to Major General Gu. I really didn't mean it. I was just threatened by her!" Dorothy was shaken by the mere memory of it all. If Jessica hadn't made the first move to deal with Leena, then the one in trouble now could have been her.

"Luckily I didn't give you any chance to hurt me. But since you're done apologizing, I guess we're done here. But I'd like to give you an advice: Be more careful next time, especially since you're an entertainer. There are so many people waiting for your scandals to get out." As a fashion designer, Leena always worked with models and entertainers. She was familiar with how things worked around them. Everyone in the fashion industry was eager to step over others, clawing their way to the top. It didn't matter if they hurt someone along the way.

"Thank you for your advice. But can I ask you a question? Did you know that I was up to something when I first approached you?" Dorothy wondered how Leena saw through her act as she made sure her every move was perfect.
