Chapter 29 Transfer by Tonight
Natalie placed the fruits beside the bed, pursing her lips at Jessica. The former had met
people who love money before but never one this greedy.
“Natalie, does my hospital fee cost a lot?” Jessica furrowed her brows. She was in a VIP
ward, which was equipped with a living room, a kitchen, a television, and even a sports
room. One could only imagine how much it cost for one night.
“Don’t worry about that. Just focus on recuperating,” Natalie advised gently. Clearly, her
boss, Trevor, was not short of money.
Jessica did not question further. After all, she had collected 750 thousand dollars. All she
needed was a word from Trevor, and they would no longer owe each other anything.
Natalie did not dare to say much either, since Trevor instructed her to speak carefully in
Jessica’s presence.
When Natalie left, Jessica immediately gave Trevor a video call. “Mr. Gulliford, I can give you
750 thousand dollars now. Please let me go.”
“Your medical bill for today cost a total of 4500 dollars. Your 750 thousand dollars still lacks
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt4500 dollars.” Trevor’s impassive tone sounded a little icy.
“I’ll give it to you. I have 4500 dollars.” Jessica’s eyes gleamed with hope as she sat up in
her bed, pulling out the infusion tube from her wrist.
“Behave yourself, Jessica!” Trevor’s expression darkened more when he saw the wound on
her wrist was still bleeding because of the infusion tube. “Since you’ve already collected
750 thousand dollars, transfer it to the card I gave you by tonight. If I don’t see the money
in the account by midnight, it won’t be counted, even if you have the money.”
The moment he finished his words, he hung up.
Jessica stared at the phone in her hand, thinking, “I’ll just need to go to the bank to transfer
some money, right? I can definitely do that.”
Unfortunately, it turned out that Trevor never wanted to let her escape. He had ordered
many people to stand by on the outside to make sure she did not leave the ward.
Seeing that, Jessica took a deep breath and leaned against the door. Suddenly, a look of
determination flashed through her eyes.
Those men might have been able to restrain her five years ago. However, there was no way
they could stop her current self.
After getting the toilet bowl blocked, she called out to two of them for help before knocking
them out with a knife.
After that, she knocked out the other six men standing outside in the blink of an eye. Truth
was, she was too weak to fight Trevor’s bodyguard. However, Trevor had given them an
order before leaving, which was to not let anything happen to her.
Hence, the bodyguards would rather be knocked out than lay a finger on her.
Soon, Jessica returned to Cerulean to collect all the money. To her surprise, she still lacked
1500 dollars.
Hence, she decided to get Natalie’s help. “If she can lend me 1500 dollars now, I’ll be more
than happy to return her more than the original amount in the future,” Jessica mused.
After all, 1500 dollars was all she lacked.
“Jessica, you know the person you offended isn’t someone ordinary…” said Natalie
truthfully, not bothering to beat around the bush.
Taking out 1500 dollars was not a problem for her. The main problem was that she might

“I understand, Natalie. I have one last thing to ask of you. Could you not tell Trevor about
my return to Cerulean?” asked Jessica.
It did not matter if she failed to borrow it from Natalie. Jessica could still work for it.
“Jessica, does Mr. Gulliford not know you’ve left the hospital?” Natalie was stunned. “Did
she escape?” she thought.
Natalie sighed. “Fine. I promise I won’t tell him. But, Jessica, Mr. Gulliford will soon find out
you’ve left the hospital. Are you sure you want to anger him?”
Trevor was not an ordinary CEO. His method of handling things in Horington was so
incredible that everyone in the business industry could not help but give him a thumbs up.
“Thank you, Natalie. I have my plans.” Jessica nodded and left. First, she had to change out
of her hospital gown in the dressing room. There was no way she could work as a bargirl in
that outfit..
“Wow. Are you doing cosplay? Which client made such a request?” Janice blocked Jessica’s
path at the corner of the corridor.
“Get out of the way!” Jessica had no time to talk to Janice. Every second at that moment
was exceptionally precious to her.
