Chapter 185
"So, do you want the Gulliford family or that woman?" Maximilian asked, looking at Trevor lying on the ground with a dark look. Obviously, his heart ached to see Trevor in that state, as Trevor was a child he doted on for years.
"I want my wife!" Trevor announced firmly with a determined glint in his eye.
"Okay! I'll beat you to death!"
Maximilian frowned, gripped his cane and lifted it up again, aiming it at Trevor.
I don't believe he won't be scared by my beatings! he thought.
However, Trevor did not retreat. Instead, he lifted his neck in preparation for the blow.
Just when the cane was going to touch Trevor, someone pounced on him, covered him with her body, and took the blow for him.
Raising his head, Trevor saw Jessica on him, and immediately, his eyes turned red, and he hurriedly
got up to hug her.
"Why are you so foolish?"
"Aren't you also..." Jessica took a deep breath and smiled before continuing, "Aren't you also so foolish?"
She was in deep agony, but for some reason, that seemed unimportant at this moment.
"So it's you who kept on pestering him! How much money do you want? Tell me. I can afford it!
However, get out after taking the money. We'll never allow you to marry into the Gulliford family!" Maximilian declared, not beating around the bush.
Doesn't she just want money? The only reason these kinds of women pester rich men is for money, he sneered inwardly.
Jessica wanted to leave Trevor, but Maximilian's words had hurt her pride.
Turning to look at Maximilian, she announced coldly, "I don't want money. I only want him!"
Money? I have almost died so many times. How can I still care so much about money? she thought.
She did not know how happy Trevor was upon hearing her words. Even if he was to die the next instant, he believed it was worth it.
"You bitch! You are the reason why Trevor is in this state!"
Leah walked forward and raised her hand to slap Jessica.
Yet, contrary to her expectations, Jessica was not Bennett and was not that easily bullied.Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.
Jessica stretched her arms and directly caught Leah's wrist with her long fingers, and putting some force in her grip, Leah's wrist dislocated with a crack. "Who are you to raise your hand against me?" Jessica sneered as she glanced at Leah in contempt with furrowed brows.
"I don't care how she flirts with Trevor, but she's not worthy enough to hit me!" Jessica thought angrily.
"Darling, you're amazing!"
Somehow, Trevor had transformed into a simp and was gazing at her with admiration while giving her a thumbs-up.
Reflexively, Jessica cleared her throat and got up.
"The mood was nice just now, but his words immediately made it awkward," she thought.
"Well, since you insist, bring her along to the Gulliford family
mansion. If she still wants to be with
you after ten days, I won't care about
you two anymore!"
Maximilian was a cunning man. If he forcefully tore the couple apart, Trevor might really leave the Gulliford family.
"Well, he's a young man, so it's
normal for him to be unable to give up on his lover. I can think of more ways to separate them in my house. I'm afraid Trevor will get severely hurt if I continue hitting him, he mused.
"Darling, will you go with me? I'll ask my men to take Yolanda back to my house and give her the best medical treatment, doctors, and medicine."
Trevor was terrified. "What if she
disagrees? I don't know what to do.
It's only meaningful if we love each
other, but it's fine too if she doesn't like me back.
However, if she runs away too fast, I don't think I can catch up to her," he thought morosely.
