Spoiled By The President: My Wife Is A Little Sweet novel Chapter 248

Chapter 248 Pulling Strings

Jessica suddenly stopped while she was walking out.

She turned to look at one of the policemen and muttered, "I want to make another call."

Impatiently, the officer glared at her. "How many calls have you made today? You really think someone's going to save you? Quit dreaming and settle down. Clear your head and confess; that's the only way to go, got it?"

Jessica sneered coldly.

She stepped suddenly to the side and smashed her head towards the wall.

Startled, the two policemen reacted quickly and restrained her.

"Have you gone nuts? What are you trying to do?"

"I want my phone call!"

They had no reply to that.

Finally, one of the officers waved his hand.

"Fine, fine, let her! She's really lost it."

As she'd wanted, Jessica got her call.

She clutched at the phone, her fingertips trembling.

For privacy, she had the officers leave before making the call.

On the other end, a gentle female voice picked up the line.

"Hello, who is this?"

"It's me."

The receiver went silent for a while.

Followed quickly by lilting laughter. "I thought you'd already been locked up, but you can still make calls? Not half bad."

Jessica scoffed. "You've got a hand in this as well. If I don't get out of this, you can forget having a happy ending yourself."

"Oh, is that a threat?"

"You said it'd be fine, but I ended up like this. As allies, shouldn't you bail me out of this?"

"Allies? What do you mean allies? I don't understand what you're talking about. Do you have any evidence that can prove I helped you with this, Jessica? I only chatted with you for a while and called you a few times. I didn't do anything else. How could you frame me like this?"

Hearing her lofty tone and how she almost seemed to relish in her misfortune, Jessica's teeth clacked with audible rage.

"You're part of the Kawn family of Eqitin. Aren't you afraid I'll spill the beans on you? You'll never be able to walk around freely again."

The woman on the other end simply sneered.

"Everyone knows that I am a good little girl the Kawn family has always loved. Everyone knows that I'm not in good health and rarely get involved with outside affairs. As for you, you're a lying, cheating mad dog who crawled her way up to the position and tried to do away with your sister. Who do you think they'll believe between the two of us?"

"You!"

The woman continued, "Oh, and I forgot to tell you. I actually quite appreciate your sister. She saved my life a long time ago, but she doesn't remember me. I think that people should know to repay their debts, so I gave her a bit of a hand and pulled some strings. Don't be so resentful. If you didn't have any ill intentions to begin with, you wouldn't have been used by me. You should be grateful that nothing happened to Natalia, you know. Otherwise, you wouldn't have had the opportunity to even make this call. All right, that's all I have to say. Look out for yourself going forward."

With that, she hung up.

Jessica's anger swelled.

She'd never thought they'd play her like this!

Then she recalled those words from a few moments ago.

A long time ago, Natalia had saved her life...

Repay their debts... pull some strings...

She jolted upright!

A venomous snake seemed to crawl up her spine, chilling her back, sending shivers down her body.

She understood!

She understood it all now!

From start to finish, it had all been Natalia's trap.

Everyone in there, even those bodyguards that Kawn had introduced, were probably all people that Natalia knew.

Otherwise, she couldn't have gotten pictures of that room!

She'd been wondering how, despite having been injected with drugs, Natalia could take down four well-trained men and escape.
