It'll Come Naturally novel Chapter 248

"Is that Daisy's family?" Tom asked curiously as soon as they walked out of the restaurant. If they were Daisy's family, why was Mary Ouyang so interested in Edward?

"Not really. Don't bother yourself with them. I'm going back to the office. Enjoy yourself," Edward said. Edward didn't regard them as Daisy's family. No family would shamelessly defend their disgusting behavior. No family would covet the other's husband.

"Alright. Take your leave. I'm going back to the hospital," said Tom. He knew that if Edward didn't want to talk about it, it was pointless to keep asking him, so he stopped. He never liked gossip anyway.

Edward waved at him, then got into the car without saying a word. There were more pressing matters for him to deal with recently, and they were tiring. He was relieved that Jessica's child wasn't his, but she still kept pestering him. He had to find a way to resolve this.

Speak of the devil and he will appear. When Edward returned to the company, he found Jessica waiting outside his office.

"What are you doing here?" Edward demanded. The sight of Jessica irritated him. If not for her, there wouldn't be any misunderstanding between him and Daisy. He was surprised by the audacity of this woman to show her face to him again! Did she think that he still had feelings for her?

"Edward, thank you for sparing our company. I knew you wouldn't do this to me and our child," Jessica said, intentionally touching her stomach with a sweet smile. She got lost in the fantasy of a future life with Edward.

"Jessica, do you really believe that? Have you ever thought that it is all part of my scheme?" Edward asked with a sneer. He strode past her and went straight into his office.

"You're not serious. I know you won't do this, because the FX International Group will never plot to harm another company. Besides, we have a special relationship. There's no reason for you to do it." Jessica was quite confident that Edward wouldn't do harm to her company. She had leverage against him, the baby she was carrying.

"Yes, I don't have any reason. I won't go to that extent because of you. I won't even bother to do it myself, I'll just sit back and enjoy the show," Edward said with a wicked smile. It was very difficult to tell if he meant it, or if he was just playing around. But his words immediately made Jessica's face turn pale.

"Are you the one behind what's been happening to the Lin Group? But why would you do this?" Jessica asked anxiously. She held on to the table to keep herself upright. Edward's harsh words broke her heart. She felt as if the broken pieces of her heart had shattered into even smaller pieces. Edward had absolutely no sympathy for her. He ruthlessly ignored all her pain and even worse, he was rubbing salt in her wounds. She had overestimated herself, and the pain was unbearable.

"Jessica, you're thinking too much. I didn't say that I plotted it, only that I'm a spectator enjoying the show," said Edward. Not many people had experienced Edward's ruthlessness. He always seemed like a gracious gentleman, so a lot of people forgot about his cruel side.

"Edward, I know I was wrong to kiss you. I apologize for that. But I'm begging you, please don't destroy my father's company. He won't stand for this." Tears ran down Jessica's cheeks. Edward's warning that day wasn't just a threat. He really meant to make her company go bankrupt and put the Lin Group in the news spotlight. All because of her careless kiss. If the company was ruined, she would be reduced from riches to rags.

"Jessica, what if I say that it's already too late? You shouldn't have provoked me. I tolerated your unacceptable behaviors, but you keep challenging me. You force me to do something to stop it. Don't blame it on me, this is all your fault. You thought that Coco's scandal could intimidate me, but did you really think that I would be easily threatened by someone?"

Edward didn't plan to tell her that everything that happened to the Lin Group was plotted by the FX International Group. But considering that she would find out sooner or later, he decided not to hide it. She was getting to that conclusion, anyway.
