My Wife Is So Sweet (Natalia Dawson) novel Chapter 78

Chapter 78 To Steal It

Marie's voice came through the door.

"Jessica, are you still inside? I brought you a gown."

Jessica resumed her expression before turning around to open the door.

"Thank you."

"You're welcome."

Smiling, Marie noticed her abnormal look and asked with concern, "Jessica, are you alright?"

Jessica forced a smile and shook her head.

Although she was shaking her head, everything on her face indicated that there was something on her mind, making her sad.

How could Marie not see the hint?

She said in worried tone, "Jessica, did Natalia that b*tch bully you again? What did she tell you?"

Jessica still shook her head.

After a pause, she took Marie's hand and said, "I'm fine. I'm just... I'm just worried."

"Worried about what?

"I..."

Jessica hung her head and her eyes sparkled.

"Jessica, come on, speak it out to me?"

Jessica said in a gentle voice, "You probably won't believe it. I find it unbelievable as well. I did not expect my sister to be like that, I really..."

Her voice gradually choked up with sobs, as she was about to cry soon.

Her delicate and pretty face was clouded over.

Marie could not stand it anymore and said, "I knew it! It must be that b*tch bullying you again! What did she do?"

Shaking her head, it took Jessica a while to recover her mood.

Then she continued, "After you escort Tammy to the guest room, she stopped me and said that the manuscript I drew five years ago is in her hand, and she can prove that it is her work, as long as she takes out that manuscript tonight."

Marie widened her eyes in disbelief.

"Damn! What a b*tch? Wouldn't that make you the bad guy slandering her?"

Jessica nodded.

"What a shameless woman!"

"Marie, you are my best sister, and I only dare to tell you about it. I really don't know what to do. You know, my sister is good at talking, and I'm really afraid that she will take out that manuscript to slander me, and then I'll be totally screwed."

Marie said indignantly, "Jessica, don't worry! Since she dares to say so, it means she has brought that manuscript with her tonight. As long as we get that manuscript out before she displays it, everything will be all right."

Jessica looked at her blankly, taken by surprise.

"Steal, steal it?"

Marie nodded with certainty.

"Yes."

"But ... will it be not good?"

"Nothing good or bad. That's what she's done!"

At last, Marie noticed the dilemma in Jessica's embarrassed eyes.

She patted her chest irritably.

"Don't worry. You don't have to do it. I'll take care of it for you. All you have to do is to help me keep her from going back to her room."

Jessica looked at her with hesitation for a long time.

Finally, she said, "Well... alright!"

"Go get changed first, I will go out now."

"Well, thank you, Marie."

After Marie went out and closed the door, Jessica got up.
