Chapter 487
Marina watched the video of Jessica’s acceptance speech, lost in thought for a long time.
It was not until Simon approached and called her that she came back to her senses.
“What’s wrong?” Simon asked with some confusion.
Marina shook her head. “It’s nothing.”
She had always been reluctant to mention the memories of her time in Solemwood after losing her memory due to an injury.
Because she felt that those memories were too humiliating for her.
However, now she felt that she should be grateful for that experience.
If she had not lost her memory, she would not have met Jessica.
She would not have had such a genuine friend.
In this world with billions of people, the probability of encountering true friends that care about each other was incredibly low.
Yet, she not only found a lover but also had a good friend like Jessica.
She felt that she was truly blessed.
After Peter finished sending the video, he leaned against the wall in silence.
Then, he slowly closed his eyes.
The image of Jessica talking about Marina’s impact on her kept playing in his mind.
Her eyes were so bright and full of joy.
If the incident in the past had not happened, would she also mention him in her speech today?
Would she mention him like how she talked about Marina?
There was a high chance that she would.
But all of that was ruined by his own hands.
A bitter smile appeared on Peter’s lips, but he quickly suppressed it.
At least Jessica was growing well now.
She could confidently stand before people and express herself freely.
She had even reconciled with her past and accepted her origins.
The new Jessica was finally emerging.
Peter’s heart was also filled with gratitude.
After the award ceremony, there was still an award banquet.
As this year’s prize winner, Jessica naturally became the center of attention at the banquet.
People queued up to invite her to dance, and the invitations were endless.
In the end, Jessica became exhausted and had to explain to the gentlemen coming forward for the invitation that her feet were hurting.
While the guys were disappointed, they did not insist.
And one after another, the men approached Jessica, seeking her contact information.
At first, she did not realize the seriousness of the situation.
When the first man asked for her contact, she graciously gave it to him.
Consequently, as each person came forward, Jessica found herself agreeing to provide her contact information.
By the end of the night, Marina’s phone was filled with contacts from numerous strangers.
All of them enthusiastically invited her to enter romantic relationships.
In this city, known for its emphasis on romance, love was passionate and sincere.
Despite having spent almost three years in this place, Jessica still found it challenging to adapt to their forthrightness and
openness.

Chapter 487
She casually mentioned that she would be returning to her home country soon and had no plans for romance at the
moment.
However, even after stating this, many people expressed their willingness to wait for her to change her mind.
Some even offered to go back to her home country with her.
Overwhelmed by the attention. Jessica slipped away secretly from the banquet.
In the car.
With a smile on his face, Karter looked at Jessica in the back seat, who seemed a bit startled.
“Now, do you truly feel the romance of the men in our country?”
“I not only feel it, but I also feel really frightened!” Jessica raised her hand to massage a little between her eyebrows.
Earlier, she had no choice but to have a few drinks, and now her head was still a bit dizzy.
“If you stay here for a while longer, you’ll be able to get used to it. You have to know that people in our country can’t live without love.” Karter raised her voice.
“Well, but I can live with it, replied Jessica firmly.
“No, Jessi. Everyone needs love, and it’s not limited by borders. I have always thought that you really need a romantic relationship to nourish yourself.
“Today, at the banquet, most of the people were top figures in the industry, and among them, there were many worth considering for a deeper relationship.
“If you’re indecisive, you can give them all a try and then choose the most suitable one.” Karter’s words were shocking.
Jessica was surprised by his words.
“How is this romantic? You’re just messing around.” Jessica shook her head.
“How can that be? You have to know that in a good relationship, besides mutual admiration, the most crucial thing is to be compatible in bed.
