This Time, I Will Get My Divorce, Mr novel Chapter 754

Chapter 754 Jessica’s Bargaining Chip

Able to empathize with Tom, Toby understood why Tom would feel shocked at the sight of Jessica’s frightening appearance. At the same time, Jessica could hear the conversation between Tom and Toby in the detention room. Seeing the fear in Tom’s eyes, Jessica couldn’t help but feel her heart sinking. After all, she hadn’t washed her face and removed her make-up in days, and her lack of sleep only served to make her look even more emaciated.

Thus, she was aware of how frightening her appearance was but didn’t expect to see someone exclaim at the sight of her looks. Deep down, she couldn’t accept the fact that she had become ugly, especially in front of Toby, whom she considered an outstanding man.

The more she dwelled on that matter, the more she wanted to cover her face to keep anyone from seeing it. However, she quickly realized her hands were strapped to the armrest and weren’t able to move at all.

Therefore, she could only keep her head down to avoid their gaze. “Don’t look at me! I said don’t look!” She commanded with a maniacal voice, her body shivering like a madwoman as Toby watched in disgust with a frown on his face.

Then, Tom pointed at her. “President Fuller, do you think she’s gone nuts?”

“Do you think someone as scheming as her would go nuts so easily?” Toby asked his assistant back coldly.

“Well…” Tom gulped and scratched his head. “I guess you have a point.”

At that moment, the police officer guarding the entrance came over and knocked on the glass with his baton, warning the lady sternly. “Silence! Open your eyes and look around you! This is not your home, so shut your mouth up!”

Seeing the police officer’s darkened face, Jessica backed away fearfully and kept quiet. After all, ever since she was detained a few days ago, she had been tortured by those officers to the point of traumatization. She seemed to have been conditioned to fear them, knowing about the extreme measures they would resort to when dealing with criminals. Thus, she didn’t dare to mess with those officers.

As soon as Jessica kept her mouth shut, the police officer put away his baton and turned around to Toby with a polite smile. “Please carry on with your conversation, President Fuller.”

“Sure.” Toby nodded, replying with an affirmative hum.

After the officer tipped his hat and walked out of the place, the detention room was left with Toby and the other two in it. Then, Toby took a step forward and walked closer to the glass, staring at the lady with his cold gaze. “Why did you want to meet me?”

Upon hearing the man’s question, Jessica looked up in fear but immediately kept her head down for the next second like a frightened rabbit.

Meanwhile, Tom began to run out of patience at the sight of Jessica’s expression, frowning in frustration. “Hey, what’s that supposed to mean? You’re acting like President Fuller is going to bite you.”

Well, I think President Fuller would rather ‘bite’ Miss Reed, in fact. That’ll never happen to you, lady.

“Alright, that’s it. I don’t want to see her face any longer either, anyway.” Toby pursed his lips, speaking with a bitter voice.

Jessica squinted in anger, feeling insulted upon hearing Toby’s words. Although she knew Toby didn’t like her, she was unhappy that he didn’t treat her with the chivalry and decency she deserved as a lady. On the inside, she believed Toby was aware of her feelings for him and was convinced that the reason she kept her head down was to prevent him from seeing her ugly face.

He knows how I feel, yet he still says all those mean things to hurt me. At the thought of that, Jessica looked up and glared at Toby like he was her unfaithful lover who wronged her.

While Toby appeared rather calm, Tom felt so disgusted that he was starting to have goosebumps running all over his body. What’s that look supposed to mean, lady? It’s disgusting!
