Chapter 127 Calling It Quits
Jessica pulled her hand back coldly and snapped, “Just tell me what you have to say. I still have work
to do!”
Ben lowered his head and had a look of bitter resentment on his face. “Jessica, know you’re only this
mad because you still have feelings for me. I know that anything I say now will sound unreasonable to
you, but don’t be so quick to reject me. Give me a month. If you’re happy with me, then we can start
dating again. If you’re not happy with me, then you can break up with me whenever you want to. Okay?
You know just as well as I do that us being together will be the best outcome for everyone.” Jessica
sneered. “You’re so sure that I can’t leave you, aren’t you? Before this arranged marriage, I knew about

you. But I am a Virgo! I hate filth! Whether it’s a person or an object, if someone else has touched it
before, then I don’t want it, much less like it!” Rummaging through her bag, she pulled out a car key
and tossed it on the table, followed by a debit card and a few jewelry boxes. “This is everything you
bought for me. I’m giving it back now. I’ve used some things already, so take the money in this card as
compensation. From now on, we’re through! Don’t even hope to see me through my dad!”
His face fell in an instant. “Do you have to be this cruel, Jessica?”
She looked at the man whose face turned on a sixpence and smirked. “I’m so thankful I got to know
who you really are before we got married!”
Just as she was going to grab her phone and leave, it suddenly rang. Because it was placed on the
table, Ben clearly saw that it was her father who was calling her. His lips curled up into a mocking
smile. As long as that old geezer doesn’t want to call off this marriage, no one else can say otherwise.
“Answer it, Jessica. I’ll explain to you later. I like you. I will never give up on you!”
Her brows furrowed together slightly as an unpleasant feeling washed over her. She slid her finger
across the screen to answer the call. Even though she was fuming, she did not make a sound. A man’s
voice came through the phone. “Jessica, are you with Ben?”
How could he not know whether we’re together or not? “Is there a problem?” She was still stand-offish.
“You don’t have to be mad anymore. I won’t force you. You can break off the marriage with Ben if you
want to. He has caused so much trouble. I don’t want to marry you off to a dreg like him.” Her
expression remained unchanged until the phone call ended. What is Dad saying? Did he just agree to

Before she could wrap her head around it, a call came on Ben’s phone. He immediately sat up straight
when he saw the familiar name and spoke as if he was treading on thin ice. “A-Aunt Lara?” “Where are
you?” “H-I’m at a restaurant with Jessica.” “Come home right now!” After making herself very clear, she
hung up the call. Just then, Jessica, who was sitting across from him, stood up with a profound smile
on her face. She carried her bag and walked out of the restaurant without saying another word to him.
