Son-In-Law Gets an Upgrade novel Chapter 1199

Chapter 1199 You Are Not Filthy 

“Jessica, even if I said something wrong. I’m still your cousin. How could you hit me in front of an outsider?” Veronica asked sharply. 

On that day alone, she had been first slapped by that scumbag, Soren, before getting hit by Jessica. She inwardly seethed with anger. 

Alex stepped forward and hugged Jessica, gently patting her on the back and coaxing. “All right, all right, don’t be angry anymore. Some things have already passed, so don’t dwell on them. It’s okay. Everything is 

fine.” 

His words seemingly had a magical effect, extinguishing the fury within Jessica and gradually calming her down. 

Veronica, who had suffered a slap and felt resentful, interjected indignantly, “Exactly! That matter is already in the past. Jessica. Why are you still holding a grudge? Was it necessary to hit me?” 

As she spoke, she looked at Alex with an aggrieved expression and said, “Jessica was very rough just now! Also, she looked exceedingly fierce when she got angry, Is it really fine for you to have a secretary like her. Mr. Jefferson? I studied finance management abroad. Can I work at your company in the future?” 

Initially, Jessica had gradually calmed down. But upon hearing Veronica’s words, she could not help feeling angry. Isn’t she implying that she wants to take my place? 

“Get out! Get out of here!” She was no longer polite, pushing and dragging Veronica out of the villa before and slamming the door shut. 

Outside the door, Veronica kept pounding on the door and shouting at the top of her lungs, “What’s the meaning of this, Jessica? I’m your cousin! How could you kick me out like that?” 

“Do consider it, Mr. Jefferson. My capabilities are definitely superior to Jessica’s. That aside, I’ll obey your orders to the letter and never lose my temper with you. 

Both Jessica and Alex ignored her. It was practically impossible for them to open the door for her. The two of them sat on the sofa, and Jessica turned her head to the side, not quite knowing how to face Alex. 

Just as the villa was about to be engulfed in a deathly silence, Jessica suddenly spoke. 

“Will you disdain me for being filthy, Alex? They really didn’t touch me, so I’m still pure. If you want me, I can give myself to you anytime and anywhere.” Her voice was slightly choked, her face already stained with tears. 

“Don’t be silly. You’re a good girl and not filthy at all. To me, you’re even purer than an angel. There, there, don’t cry,” Alex consoled softly. 

When he said those words, even he could not believe that he actually had such a gentle side to him. But to be honest, Jessica was really pitiful in her current state, making him desire to protect her from the depths. of his heart. 

He sighed helplessly, realizing that he probably would never be able to change his soft-hearted nature in this lifetime. He simply could not bear to see women who were good to him cry. As soon as they did so, he could not help but want to comfort them. 

Jessica rested against the man’s chest, crying softly. That was the first time Alex had spoken to her so gently, and she found the feeling of being understood and protected beyond incredible. 

What can I do to make you fall in love with me, Alex? Even if it were just a tiny place in your heart, that would be enough for me.
