Jessica frowned as she had had enough of his sarcasm. “Just tell me what I have to do to
be free from you, Mr. Gulliford.” Trevor released his grip on her chin and pulled out a credit
card as he replied, “Alfred gave you 150 thousand dollars, right? You enjoy making money
working at Cerulean, don’t you? Here, I’ll make this simple for you. Once you’ve made 750
thousand dollars working at Cerulean, transfer it all to this card and I’ll let you go free.”
Jessica nodded and took the card over from him. “Fine. Can I go now?” Of course, a man
as wealthy as Trevor couldn’t possibly care less about the money. He simply wanted to see
her embarrass herself working at Cerulean. She thought Trevor would no longer be able to
hurt her as it had already been five years, but he had been repeatedly abusing her since
her return. Trevor looked away from her and said coldly, “Ten days.” “Got it.” Jessica
opened the door and got out of the car with an emotionless look on her face. “Oh, my
goodness! Where were you? The kids have been trying to reach you ever since they got
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇthome! They tried calling you countless times, but you never answered your phone!”
Monica exclaimed anxiously the moment she got home. Upon pulling out her phone,
Jessica realized she accidentally had it on Silent mode the whole time. She then quickly
reassured Monica and the kids that everything was all right. “Remember, kids. If you ever
see this man in the future, make sure to stay as far away from him as possible!” she said
while showing them a picture of Trevor that she found on the internet. Whoa! He looks just
like my brothers! Is he our daddy?” Faye asked. Jessica felt her heart ache when she heard
that. “No, he isn’t! He’s a bad guy who will take you all away from me, so you must all
stay away from him. Is that understood?” As the kids trusted her unconditionally, they
nodded and said in unison, “Understood, Mommy! We’ll stay away from that bad guy!”
Jessica felt somewhat relieved after hearing that. Recalling her promise to Trevor, she
headed over to Cerulean even though she had taken the day off. After all, earning 750
thousand dollars in ten days was no easy task. Making that much money was a piece of
cake for Jessica when she was the number one socialite in Horington five years ago.
However, it had become like an impossible task for her after everything that happened.
She sat down at her dressing table like she always did and watched as the women went in
and out of the dressing room. Time soon went by, and it was already ten at night before
she knew it. All dozens of escorts on the twentieth floor had already left by then, but
Jessica still received no requests whatsoever. “Oh, no… This won’t do! At this rate, I won’t
be able to make 750 thousand dollars in time! I can’t keep waiting like this!” she thought
to herself as she limped toward Natalie’s office. “What’s the matter? You got tired of
waiting?” Natalie asked upon seeing her at the door. Jessica nodded. “I really need the
money, Natalie.” “It’s the boss’ orders to not let you have any customers. You offended
someone you shouldn’t have,” Natalie replied softly while flipping through the document
in her hands. Jessica frowned and let out a helpless sigh as she thought to herself, “Is
there even a limitation to Trevor’s influence? I can’t believe he even has control over
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmCerulean! I bet he never intended for me to make 750 thousand dollars, huh?” “Even so,
there are still plenty of opportunities here at Cerulean. Even if we don’t recommend you to
the customers, I can’t stop you from attending to them if they request for you. That’s the
rule here, after all,” Natalie reminded her after a brief pause. “Understood. Thanks,
Natalie.” Jessica then returned to the dressing room and changed into a white backless
dress. Her lambskin leather handbag added some feminine charm to her as she stood
beneath the dim lighting. Jessica couldn’t help but find it ironic that the knowledge she
obtained from a few years of makeup classes would be applied in a place like Cerulean.
Having been raised in an upper class family, Jessica developed the ability to observe and
analyze others since she was a child. However, she couldn’t seem to find a single wealthy
man even after observing tons of customers that passed her by in the corridor. Truly
successful businessmen would usually have an elegant and mature air about them as well
as exude a confident charm in everything they do. Trevor was the prime example of such
an individual. As he had been through all sorts of situations, he rarely got distracted by
anything and anyone. “Jessica?”
