Revenge On My First Love novel Chapter 574

Chapter 574 Jessica Ran Away

Mr. Johns and others didn't know exactly what happened, but they all trusted Mr. Stark's judgment.
Besides, they had detested Jessica for a long time. As she could be kicked out soon, they were all overjoyed.
Jessica scowled at Mr. Stark, "Don't forget why you asked me to stay here, Mr. Stark."
"I won't forget, and I've thought it through. I've done all I can do to take care of you. However, I cannot risk my company's future or my friends. You'd better be sensible and leave."
"Also, I can forget what you've done to me before."
Jessica burst into laughter.
Sophia, with a frown, stood behind them.​
"Want to dump me, huh?"
Mr. Stark also noticed Jessica's mood swings, looking at her in confusion. "What do you want?"
The next second, Jessica suddenly rushed towards Mr. Stark, surprisingly.
Everyone was tense. Jessica pressed a dagger from nowhere against Mr. Stark's neck.
"You all, listen. Mr. Stark is my hostage. If you want him to be alive, do as I say."
No one dared to stop her, wondering what she wanted to do.
Sophia strode over. "Stop doing something worthless, Jessica. We haven't called the police. You should be thankful."
"What you've done to Mr. Stark early can make you stay in jail for many years."
Jessica turned to point the dagger at her. "It's all your fault, Sophia. You caused this situation. Don't you want to protect Mr. Stark? I'll let him die in your presence."
Sophia let out a laughter.
Jessica was baffled, wondering why she laughed under such a circumstance.
"Are you out of your mind, Jessica? I saved Mr. Stark for my company's sake. Think this matter cannot be resolved without him?"
"Go ahead. Kill him. I don't care."
Others gaped at her in disbelief, wondering if she had given up on Mr. Stark.
Her words made sense, though. If the Cannon Group had a new president, Sophia could still solve the problem after establishing a good relationship with him or her.
Realizing that, others felt sorry for Mr. Stark.
Jessica also widened her eyes in disbelief while gazing at Sophia, who had tried many means to rescue Mr. Stark. Jessica couldn't believe Sophia would give up on him.
Soon, she realized something. "I see. You want to save Mr. Stark's life in another way. To level with you, you'd better dream on!"
Sophia narrowed her eyes at her. "We give you a way out after what you've done. You missed it and even threatened us. Do you really have a death wish?"
Jessica giggled, "A way out? Think I'll believe a single word you say?"
"You don't even trust yourself. Of course, you don't believe me," said Sophia.
"That's right. I never trust you. Now either of us will die. I won't trust anyone."
Sophia snorted, "I give you a way to live, but you don't appreciate it. You can't blame me then."
As she spoke, she walked towards Jessica.
The latter exclaimed, "What do you want? You think I dare not kill him?"
"Go ahead. Kill Mr. Stark. Then you'll be convicted for another crime."
"Stop it! Don't come over!"
Jessica pointed the dagger at Sophia.
The latter didn't fear her at all. Sophia's assistant watched them, her heart in her mouth.
"Stop coming over, Sophia. I'll kill him. I'm serious."
Jessica was on the edge of breaking down. "Don't push me, Sophia!"
Sophia knew Jessica didn't expect to go to jail or wanted to kill Mr. Stark, so she was determined to capture Jessica.
As Sophia approached her, the assistant was about to remind her to be careful.
The next second, Sophia grabbed the dagger from Jessica's hand.
It was utterly out of Jessica's expectations. In a panic, she was almost caught by Sophia.
Suddenly, Jessica pushed Mr. Stark towards Sophia and ran away.
Mr. Johns called, "Stop her!"
Others rushed towards Jessica, who looked like a lunatic.
She bit everyone who caught her like a killing machine.
In this way, she escaped the meeting room.
Mr. Johns called the security guards to capture her.
After Mr. Stark kept his balance, others looked at him with concern. "Are you all right, Mr. Stark?"
"Are you OK?"
However, Mr. Stark looked at Sophia. "Thank you, Ms. Lawson."
Earlier, he thought Sophia had given up on him. Later, he realized that Sophia had used a tactic to save his life.
Things wouldn't have gone so smoothly if Sophia hadn't been there.
Sophia beamed at him. "You are welcome, Mr. Stark. No big deal. My assistant wants to announce something to you guys."
She nodded at her assistant. The latter walked to the crowd and announced, "I have something to show you. Here you go."
She distributed the files to everyone present, and most were confused.
The assistant continued, "Here is the thing. Something went wrong with our cooperation this time. After our investigation, we found this man colluded with Jessica Greenspan and had switched our supplies to your company."
"We've also found the switched supplies and delivered them to your company. I'll let you decide what to do with this man."
Everyone read the files in disbelief.
"What? How could it be him?"
"Right. He's the most senior employee in our company. How could he have done it?"
Sophia glanced at them and answered, "According to our investigation, his son has been severely sick in a hospital, so he needed a lot of money. Jessica got this on him, so he did it."
Others exchanged glances with each other.
This kind of matter happened, but they felt sorry for such a senior employee in their company.
Sophia stared at Mr. Stark. "This matter has been resolved. We're still busy, so we're taking off now."
Mr. Stark hurriedly replied, "Ms. Lawson, you helped us a lot to go through this difficulty. In the future, please do let me know if you need our assistance."
Mr. Johns also echoed, "Exactly, Ms. Lawson. You've done many things for Cannon Group. We do appreciate your kindness. In the future, we'll try our best to assist you."
Sophia smiled at them. "Let's support each other and make profits together. You've also helped me a lot. I'm glad to return your kindness."
Her humbleness and kindness impressed everyone present, as few youngsters could be as broad-minded as her.
