Jessie's body shook violently, "So it's like this, so it's like this ......"
She had always thought that for the past ten years, George had thought that her family had killed his parents because she had seen her parents at the scene.
But she didn't expect that he really hated her family because he knew that her parents did harm his parents.
She had thought that he had wronged her family all this time, but it turned out that her family had never been wronged.
And she was even ridiculously thinking of finding evidence to prove her family's innocence and make George regret all the years of wrongdoing against her family.
"I don't know, I really don't know." Jessie shook her head with intense emotion as tears kept flowing down her face.
Looking at her being grief-stricken, a hint of intolerance flashed in George's eyes, but it quickly disappeared again, letting go of her chin and standing up, then taking out a handkerchief and wiping his fingers as if there was something dirty on them.
"But it still makes me appreciate a bit that you took the initiative to speak up about this, to say that your parents leaked my parents' whereabouts, I thought you would have kept it hidden." George hooked his lips sarcastically.
Jessie bit her lip, "I never wanted to hide it, and I won't hide it because I know that it is wrong."
If she didn't know, she could insist that her family was innocent.
But now that she knew, she couldn't deny that his parents had indeed been killed by her family.
Thinking of this, Jessie stood up and looked at him deeply, "George, I know that our family has wronged you, don't worry, what I owe, I will pay it back, I just hope that you won't continue to hate my parents, let alone seek revenge on my parents. They were really good to you once, although they did harm your parents, but they weren't heartless, they were just two ordinary people, delivering necessities to your parents, not knowing they were being followed. They were at fault, but definitely not guilty to death, so I will pay for everything, I will end the feud between our two families, okay?"
George's eyes narrowed, "What do you want to do? And what are you going to pay back with?"
Jessie smiled, "Don't worry, I won't let you down, but I hope you'll give me two more days, I'll arrange something in these two days, and when I've arranged it, I'll take the initiative to contact you and tell you how I can pay it back, is that okay?"
These words made George's heart uncomfortable and uneasy at the same time.
He always felt that she was giving her last words.
Thinking about this, George coldly chortled, "Fine, I'll give you two days, I'll see how you can pay it back."
To deliver the last words?
How can that be!
He just couldn't believe that she would really kill herself and pay back with her life.
If she would have killed herself, she would have done so long ago, and until she learned that it was indeed her parents who had leaked his parents' whereabouts, she had always believed that he was wronging her family.
At that time, she could have used suicide to prove the innocence of the Robinson family, but she didn't. What does this mean? It means that she can't do anything like committing suicide.
Thinking like this, the uneasiness in George's heart was washed away quite a bit, and the sneer in his eyes also grew stronger and stronger.
Jessie saw it and felt even upset in her heart, smiling bitterly, "I'll take my leave then."
After saying that, she lowered her head and turned to leave his office quickly, not wanting him to see the tears in her eyes.
After leaving the hospital, Jessie looked up at the sky.
The sky was grey and overcast, and it seemed to be raining in a few moments, just as grey and overcast as her mood was at the moment, and it was raining in the same way.
Jessie took out her phone and dialed out a call.
Soon the phone was answered and a kindly female voice came, "Hello?"
"Mom, it's me." An extremely forced smile lifted up on Jessie's face.
Jessie's mother was overjoyed, "Jessie, why are you calling at this hour, aren't you at work?"
"Well, I'm off today, mom, how about I come back tomorrow to see you and dad?" Jessie asked.
Jessie's mother answered, "That's good, you haven't come back for a long time, your father was still talking about you yesterday, saying that the old hens at home are fat enough, wondering when you'll come back to eat them."
