"You haven't got me back all those money I have lost because of you, so how could I divorce you now, you silly?"
His tone was soft, but Jessica suddenly shivered.
When he said these to her, she felt like a cold poisonous snake climbing up from her back, and its mouth was hanging on her neck as if it would bite her in the next second.
She suddenly put on a serious face, because she could feel his finger sliding down from her head to her cheek and was approaching her lips. Jessica couldn't help but raise her hand and push his finger away.
She cursed, "You pervert!"
"Heh!"
Shawn laughed out, "If I am a pervert, then you are the pervert's wife. How about that? Are you afraid of being with a pervert?"
Jessica tried her best to calm down.
She looked at him and sneered, "I can continue to pretend to be your wife, but I'm warning you, you must stay away from me and don't touch me again from this day forwards!"
After saying that, she got up and went to the bathroom.
Shawn stood up with a faint smile on his face. He took out a handkerchief from the trouser pocket, wiped his fingers that had just touched Jessica, and then threw it into the trash.
"Somebody comes to help Jessica clean up the room and buy what she needs."
After saying that, he left.
Jessica couldn't even walk into the bathroom.
After simply washing her hands, Jessica went to the guest room.
The servant bought new furniture and mattresses and cleaned the room for her.
When everything was done, it was already evening. She had just gone back to her room.
At dinner, Shawn's assistant called her and told her that Shawn would live in another villa next door and would not come back for the time being.
When she answered the phone, two servants were there too. They both sympathized with her after hearing their conversations.
It had only been a few days since they got married, and they had already lived apart now.
What a big deal! Why couldn't they just talk to each other?
However, after hanging up the phone, Jessica just went back and continued to have dinner calmly.
She seemed to have changed a lot.
Her family was worried that something bad might happen to her, but after observing her for a night, they found she was just no longer as talkative as before.
So, her family gradually set their mind at rest.
This evening, Jessica was sitting on the terrace to enjoy the cool breeze.
The phone suddenly rang. She looked at the name and immediately picked up the phone.
"You finally call me."
A woman was talking to her softly on the phone. It seemed she also coughed once or twice, and then that woman said, "Sorry, I'm not feeling well lately."
Jessica was expressionless, "So now you have time to help me, right?"
The woman paused for a moment, and then said, "Of course. What do you want me to do? Just tell me."
"I want you to kill a person for me."
The woman froze, obviously a little surprised.
"Who?"
"Natalia Dawson."
