The Disguised Billionaire She Rejected novel Chapter 7

Jessica’s face turned cold the moment she heard where the necklace was found.

Without saying another word, she rushed upstairs. Her heels struck the floor sharply as she headed straight for Morgan’s room. The servants quickly moved aside.

She pushed the door open and saw the necklace was there. Lying right on the dressing table, glittering under the light as if nothing had ever happened.

Jessica froze for a second, then her expression twisted with anger. Behind her, Morgan and Travis hurried in as well, followed by a few servants who had witnessed the discovery.

Morgan’s eyes fell on the necklace, and her whole body stiffened.

“T-That… that’s… it, That is the necklace” she stammered.

Jessica picked it up and held it in the air.

“In your room,” she said coldly. “Right here. And you accused Marcus and even made a viral video. How could you be so vile”

Morgan’s face turned pale. “This is impossible… I… I put it in the safe… I didn’t even take it out… how did it get here?”

Jessica’s eyes narrowed.

“But here it is,” she said. “On your dressing table. Don’t even try to deny it now mom. Do You hate Marcus that much ”

Morgan shook her head repeatedly, panic rising in her voice. “No, no, this is wrong. Someone framed me! One of the servants must have put it here!”

Jessica’s patience snapped.

“Mother, stop already!” she said sharply. “No one knew the safe password except you. I don’t even know it. So what are you saying now?”

Morgan opened her mouth but no words came out.

Her mind was in chaos. She clearly remembered locking the necklace in the safe. She had not taken it out at all. Then how… How did it end up here?

“This… this wasn’t here before…” she mumbled weakly. “I swear… I remember… This morning, it wasn’t here!”. She could recall that vividly.

But this time, even her own daughter did not believe her. Morgan’s eyes turned red, and tears started to fall.

“I’m telling the truth!” she cried. “Someone framed me! Why won’t you believe me?!”

Jessica cut her off coldly. “Enough. Stop pretending to be a victim here. The real victim is Marcus”

Just then, her phone vibrated.

She looked down, and the moment she saw the message, her face changed.

It was from her secretary. She sent her the company stock chart. Her company’s stock line was dropping sharply.

“Damn it…” Jessica muttered under her breath.

She looked up at Morgan, her expression full of anger.

“Because of your post, the company stock has already dropped ten percent,” she said. “Ten percent in less than an hour. Do you understand what that means?”

Morgan froze. Jessica’s voice became even colder.

“You are deleting that post right now. And you will explain online that this was a misunderstanding.”

Morgan’s face twisted.

“I won’t apologize to that useless—”

“You will,” Jessica cut in. “I will not let you play with my company for the sake of your pride.”

Morgan trembled with anger and humiliation, but when she saw Jessica’s expression, she knew there was no room to argue. Also, the family source of income was on the line.

With shaking hands, she took out her phone.Tears rolled down her face as she opened her account.

Slowly, reluctantly, she deleted the previous post and wrote a new one, saying that the necklace had been found and the incident was a misunderstanding.

Though, she did not apologize to Marcus. Her pride wouldn’t..

But the post was enough to calm the public for now. Jessica watched until the post was uploaded, then turned away immediately.

“I’m going to the company,” she said.

Without waiting for a reply, she left the room. She needed to deal with the plummeting stock price as quickly as possible.
