She Chose Him Now She Wants Me Back novel Chapter 483

Chapter 483

Jessica looked at Logan with open disgust. “You dared to cheat. The only reason you still have your hands and feet is because my Dom is merciful.

“When you gamble, you accept the loss. That is the most basic rule. You have 24 hours. If the money has not arrived by then, you will bear the consequences. When you return, think it over carefully. Which matters more, 400,000,000 dollars or the Pierces‘ business?”

Her words struck like a heavy hammer and left Logan’s expression frozen.

Jessica had made herself perfectly clear. If he refused to pay, the Pierces could prepare for bankruptcy.

The Hales possessed that kind of power, and it would not even be difficult for them. Moreover, Jessica had said this in public. Whether the threat aligned with the Pierces‘ interests no longer mattered. To preserve the Hales‘ dignity, the family would face a devastating blow if Logan failed to comply.

After she finished speaking, Jessica’s gaze swept over Benedict and Zachary.

Their hearts instantly leapt into their throats.

Fortunately, Jessica did not pursue them. This alone showed that although she acted domineering, she was not foolish. Debts belonged to their debtors, and grievances had their sources. She would not punish those who were uninvolved. That was the rule.

After dealing with Logan, Jessica’s gaze moved across the room again and settled on Jade.

Without hesitation, she walked straight toward her.

Jade’s expression changed. She forced a smile. “Jessica, why didn’t you tell us you were coming? I could have picked you up.”

In the past, Jessica had visited the Garcias and had always been polite, showing the respect her elders deserved.

Today, however, Jessica’s face was cold and tense. She stared directly at Jade. “Why did you bully Dominic?”

Jade’s mind fell into chaos. Isaac stepping in to help Dominic had already surprised her. She had never imagined Jessica’s relationship with him was this close.

Regret flooded her. She now felt that what she had done today had been unbelievably foolish.

Jessica’s question made Jade’s face turn stiff and ugly, yet she still tried to explain. “Well… I didn’t know about his relationship with you…”

Jessica let out a cold laugh. “So you bully the weak and fear the strong? You thought my Dom had no background and would be easy to push around?”

Jade hurried to explain again. “I-”

Before she could finish, a sharp slap struck her across the face

The crisp sound stunned everyone present.

Jade covered her cheek, disbelief filling her eyes.

Jessica’s expression darkened further. “For Autumn’s sake, this is only a lesson

Her gaze swept across the entire room. “Everyone here is a prominent figure in Skyline City, 461 wat deep the ugly truth first. If anyone dares to bully Dom again, do not blame me for being ruthl664/

With that, she turned and walked out, completely unrestrained.

Inside the home of the richest man, she had slapped the richest man’s wife in front of everyone. Only

she could do such a thing.

Stephen’s cheek twitched. His pride and reputation had both been trampled today, yet he could not retaliate. No matter how excessive Jessica’s actions seemed, Jade had been the one in the wrong in fact, considering how Jade had treated Dominic, a single slap was already a light punishment

That day, the powerful figures of Skyline City reached an unspoken consensus. Dominic was not to be provoked.
