Meanwhile, when Blake Wu came out of the villa, Jessie had been waiting for him at the door.
"Jessie, were you waiting for me?" he clarified.
"Blake, was the man dead? I mean, the man that I hit yesterday? Or was he seriously injured?"
Jessie's heart was anxious. The man's situation was really important to her that she would not be able to sleep peacefully without knowing anything about his injuries.
"Don't worry. It wasn't life-threatening at all. He is still in the ICU because of some internal bleeding. I will take good care of the matter and give him a reasonable compensation. After that, everything will be fine."
Despite Blake Wu telling her that there was nothing to worry about, Jessie was still anxious.
In fact, she didn't even know who she should believe in among the Lin family or the Lin Group. As of the moment, she was still valuable to Darren. If he made up his mind to leave her alone, then she would not know what would happen to her mother and her younger brother.
Meanwhile, under the dim lights, Blake Wu looked at Jessie's red and swollen face with worry and a lot of concern.
It seemed that the car accident tonight was just an ordinary one. As he had inquired through an acquaintance in the hospital, he learned that it was true that the internal organs of the injured were ruptured seriously due to external force impact. Besides that, there were other injuries on his body.
Moreover, those said injuries had nothing to do with the car accident.
If it were just a car accident, then it would be easier to deal with. But if there were other things involved in this accident, Jessie would surely be in trouble.
Although Blake Wu wanted to tell Jessie what he was doubtful about, for the sake of Jessie's safety, he thought that it would be better to tell her when things were clear. But on the other hand, Darren didn't take it seriously. !
In the meantime, Blake Wu left as soon as they finished talking.
After washing, Jessie sat on the bed and looked at the jade pendant she took back from the scene of the accident. While she looked at the pendant with utmost focus, she then felt confused.
'Is there anyone else wearing a jade pendant right now?
If so, then why did that man hold it so tight?'
Although she didn't know much about jade pendants, she was sure that it must be something that belonged to a rich family because of the color, the unique pattern, and its style.
Just by looking at it, she was convinced that it must be invaluable.
But, judging from the way the man was dressed, she could tell that it should not be his. And besides, it was a suburb which was at least 70 or 80 kilometers away from the downtown area. The question still stood: what was he doing there in the middle of the night?
Repeatedly, Jessie thought about it, but could not figure out the relationship between the man and the jade pendant that she was holding.
Was there any secret hidden in the pendant?
Meanwhile, early the next morning, Jessie went downstairs with a pair of huge black circles around her eyes. In the dining room, she saw that Darren, Ivy and Ellie were sitting there having their breakfast together. Jessie sneered, and for a second, she felt that they were really a family.
After all, she, along with her crazy mother, and younger brother had never been in the same room for a long while now.
Well, in every sense, they were a true family, for all of them had the same ruthless and vicious character.
Whoever belonged to their family would be the tragedy of the world.
"Jessie, wait!" Darren and Ivy went out of the dining room. Darren said, "We have an appointment with the Lan family tonight. You should go shopping and buy some decent clothes to dress up. Don't be a disgrace to the Lin family."
"Darren, that won't be necessary. Ellie has lots of clothes. They are all international brands. In fact, Ellie had barely worn them. The clothes are all new. I'll pick some for Jessie later."
"Don't worry about the clothes. I can handle them myself. Come on, take it easy. I won't let you down."

Meanwhile, inside the Lan family, Mark Lan was standing in front of the French window, enjoying the sunlight on his body through the window.
"Mr. Mark, I have solved the problem, but.... I was not able to find it."
'What?'
