The male housekeeper glanced at the sunflower in his hand and asked, “Do you like sunflowers, Ms. Marsh?”
“Why’d you ask?” Jessica responded.
“I came here to pick up my aunt a couple of times before. She said she needs to replace the sunflowers in your
room with fresh ones every day. So I wondered if it’s because you liked it, and that’s why Mr. Lopez gave that
order.”
A glint flashed across her eyes as she pursed her lips. “I dislike sunflowers because they symbolize lies.”
Coincidentally, Wyatt decided to visit Jessica that afternoon.
When he reached the third floor, before entering the bedroom, he heard the exchange between the male
housekeeper and her.
He stopped in front of the door and listened to them speaking with each other.
Jessica explained in slight amusement, “While sunflowers look pretty when they are wrapped in sunlight, they have
a deadly, criminal vibe to them.”
“Why do you say that?” the male housekeeper wondered.
“Because I used them to accomplish some tasks in the past. I should thank them, honestly.”
Wyatt chuckled silently as he tugged the sunflower hanging around his neck. As he gazed at it, he recalled the day
Jessica bought it for him in Jetroina. That gesture seemed extremely ironic to him at that moment as he listened to
her words. She is deadly, considering I failed so spectacularly and almost lost my life because of her.
Instead of kicking the door open or putting on a scowl, he expressionlessly headed downstairs. As a result, he didn’t
hear the rest of what Jessica told the male housekeeper.
Inside the bedroom, Jessica naturally didn’t know Wyatt had visited her. She shifted her sight to the scenery outside
the window as if she was thinking about something. “It’s because of sunflowers that I know how well a man can
treat me and how much I can love him.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Are you referring to Mr. Lopez?” the male housekeeper inquired.
“Mhm.” She then smiled at him. “Sunflower means unwavering love and devotion to someone. It’s a beautiful
connotation, isn’t it? I hope you can give a bouquet of fresh sunflowers to your significant other. She’ll understand
your love without you saying anything.”
“I don’t know why Mr. Lopez doesn’t let you leave, but I think you must really love him. When you mentioned him,
your lips curved upward.”
“Really? But I didn’t mention him.” In response, Jessica touched her cheeks.
Even though she was staring at the male housekeeper, she was thinking about Wyatt. As she had lost her interest in
drawing, she asked the male housekeeper to put the flowers back, which he did.
The housekeeper remained at the sideline when she decided to read a book on her bed.
Not long after, another housekeeper whispered something into the male housekeeper’s ear before the two left the
bedroom together.
She didn’t mind as she continued to read her book.
When Jessica finished the book, she realized the sky was turning dark, and the bedroom light had already been
turned on. Then she noticed her latest housekeeper was a thirty-something-year-old woman.
Curious, she inquired, “Where’s the one who looked after me during noon? He’s not here anymore?”
“The hospital called him. Apparently, his aunt is really sick,” the housekeeper replied while lowering her head. “Mr.
Lopez allowed him to tend to his aunt in the hospital and asked me to take care of you, Ms. Marsh.”
Without giving Jessica a chance to speak, the housekeeper asked, “What would you like to eat, Ms. Garland? If you
don’t have any preferences, your dinner will be prepared according to the menu.”
“Just go with the menu.” Jessica dismissed the idea of asking more questions.
About an hour later, the housekeeper returned with dinner.
When the dish was served to Jessica, she noticed a newspaper sitting under the bowl, which she assumed was there
to prevent the soup from spilling onto the tray.
There was nothing unusual about it to her until she saw the words “Death of Hausen’s CEO” in the headlines, which
roused her suppressed hatred.
Pointing at the newspaper, she asked, “Can I look at it?”
“Sure.” The housekeeper promptly handed her the newspaper. “Although, this is from last week. If you want today’s
newspaper, I can bring it to you.”
“No need. I just want to take a gander at it.”
As Jessica ate, she opened up the newspaper.
When she started reading the report on the CEO’s death, she was so shocked that her hand movements halted as
her eyes were glued to the newspaper.
A week ago, when Hausen’s CEO was heading home after a business meeting in a club, his car was smashed into
the river by another vehicle. All four people in the car, including the driver, were dead.
Stargrasp’s CEO and three others were also dead because someone in the car threw a lit cigarette outside the
window when the vehicle passed through a disinfection zone. The car instantly blew up, and the entire zone was set
ablaze.
If not for the deaths of the two innocent drivers, Jessica would’ve relished the deaths of Justin and the others who
took her sister’s life.
All of them died around the same time, so someone must’ve orchestrated this. A look of post-revenge delight
flashed past her eyes before she calmed down and analyzed the situation. Jefferson and Rayna are still in Yartran,
so they’re definitely too busy to pull this off. This leaves Wyatt. When I came to this mansion, he confiscated my
crappy phone. Perhaps he had repaired my phone and saw the plan in my notes.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAs she held onto the newspaper and read the satisfying news, the look in her eyes became complicated. It was as
though the meager flame in her heart was suddenly revitalized. Even though I lied to Wyatt, caused his father’s
death, and aborted his child, he still helped me eliminate my sister’s murderers without mentioning a word about it.
Despite his ferocious hatred and wrath at me, he still cares about me. Why else would he have done this for me?
Suddenly, Jessica didn’t feel as gloomy anymore. As she ate, she questioned, “When is he visiting again?”
The housekeeper was momentarily stunned. Knowing that Jessica was referring to Wyatt, she replied, “I don’t know.
However, I’ll be sure to notify you of his arrival.”
“Okay.”
Jessica looked forward to his next visit because she wanted to have a calm conversation with him and clear up the
misunderstanding between them.
However, instead of Wyatt, she was visited by an unexpected guest in the early morning.
A black Bentley arrived at the mansion before the driver opened the door for Gianna to step out. Her eyes glistened
as she stared at the mansion in front of her. I didn’t expect the driver to send me here when I asked Wyatt to give
me a place to stay! I know Zenisan Villa’s independent mansion cost no less than fifty million. Yet now, this luxurious
building belongs to me! I’m definitely going to show this place off to my friends later! They may be supermodels,
but they’ll know that none of them is better than me! That’s because, despite my failure to become a supermodel, I
managed to find myself a fantastic money tree!
When she turned back, she arrogantly warned the driver, “You better be careful when carrying those pieces of
luggage! If you damage any of my stuff, I’m going to make you pay!”
Then she strutted toward the building smugly and spoke as though she was the lady of the house to the
housekeeper who opened the door for her. “Wyatt has allowed me to live here from today onward. What did he tell
you lot?”
The housekeeper bowed. “Mr. Lopez told us we’ll be serving you in the future, Ms. Gianna.”
Upon snorting and stepping into the building, she scanned the interior with a positively dazzled look.
Curbing her excitement, she followed the housekeeper to the second floor.
