The Reclaimed Rose (Annalise and Steven) novel Chapter 728

Upon hearing Otis' question, Jessica immediately said, "Otherwise, people would figure out why we're meeting."

However, Otis did not agree with Jessica's idea. He said, "A key part of my plan now is to reconcile with Annalise. If I do as you say, people will know that I'm working against Annalise. What am I going to tell her?"

Jessica scowled and asked, "Do I look like an idiot to you? If you genuinely wanted to reconcile with Annalise, you wouldn't have met up with me. Also…"

At a slower pace, she said gloatingly, "I think what you did in the past was too much. Annalise will never forgive you."

In simpler words, she meant for Otis to give up. But Otis was sly; he didn't let her words affect him at all.

Otis asked jokingly, "But you're not Annalise; how would you know what she thinks?"

Jessica shrugged and sneered. She said, "At the very least, I will not forgive a father who cheated and helped his mistress' daughter bully me when I was young. Even more so when this person tried to corner my mother after their divorce, forcing us into a dead end."

She continued calmly, "Even if I am living a better life now by my own efforts, I will remember everything my father did. I will wait for the day I can have my revenge. When the time is right, I will pay him back for everything that I've been through."

Jessica had only encountered Annalise a handful of times, so she couldn't judge what kind of person she was or what she might be thinking. However, Annalise was a human being. From Jessica's perspective, anyone who had gone through the same experience would react the same way.

Upon hearing her words, Otis didn't say a thing. Instead, he narrowed his eyes on Jessica.

When Jessica saw his face, she knew that her words got to him. She waited for Otis to respond.
