Chapter 202

    Jessica sat in a chair, her fingers clenched slowly, and she began to fear that these were not real.


    She was afraid that everything was just a dream.


    And that Quinton’s kindness to her was also fake.


    Quinton knew just by looking at Jessica that she was uneasy because he was too rich.


    “Let’s go get a marriage certificate tomorrow, okay?” Quinton asked in a low voice.


    Jessica looked at Quinton awkwardly.


    “My properties will be notarized as marital property after that.” He wondered if this would make her feel


    at ease.


    “I’ve also arranged the transfer of your father to the ward. I will cover all the medical expenses from


    now on. You just need to marry me secretly. If you want to make it public, then we will make it public,


    okay?” Quinton asked in a low voice.


    “Why… Why are you so nice to me?” Jessica looked sideways at Quinton, and her eyes turned red.


    “It’s weird, and I can’t tell you the exact reason…” Quinton bowed his head. “It’s probably what my


    mother said. She said one won’t care about people’s opinions when you meet the right person.”


    He could not tell what he loved about Jessica. The fact was that they just used each other from the


    beginning.


    Jessica had an ulterior motive against him, and he also was not all that serious with her.


    He just never expected he would fall for her.


    ‘Quinton, you have to be nice to me for the rest of your life, or I will not survive. I’m not as strong as


    Josie, and I’m not as lucky as her. She can survive without Henry, and Samuel is by her side. I am not.


    Behind me is hell, and in front of me is the abyss. I will die if you leave me.”


    She was rotten and dirty. She was not as pure as Josie.


    She had nothing. Quinton had to promise to be good to her for the rest of her life. She could not afford


    to y around.


    hesitated, even for a little.


    Jessica’s sense of avoiding risks was too strong.


    “Let me tell you this. I want us to be together and not bother other people. Spike can bepletely


    dead to me when I marry you. I don’t have to try chasing after Josie anymore. It’s good for all of us.


    Don’t you think so?” Quinton stared at Jessica.


    “I swear…” Quinton spoke again after a lengthy silence. “I’ll never let you experience what my mother


    had experienced. I am a bastard, but I’ll be loyal when I get married.”


    Jessica stared at Quinton with tears in her eyes. “Is he confessing his love?” she wondered.

    She also wondered whether Quinton was really proposing to her.


    Jessica was so excited that her palms were sweating, and she was at a loss for words.


    “You… Your proposal was improper.”


    Quinton smiled, “Yeah. I will propose properly another day.”


    “Well… I–I’ll think about it.” Jessica lowered her head, listened to her heartbeat, and recalled her


    painful experiences.


    “It seems that it was all worth it,” she thought.


    Neither Henry nor Samuel stayed for the party after the auction.


    Samuel also knew that Henry was really going to let it go when thetter gave him the jewelry.


    This u


    the start of Josie’s new life.


    “I’ll treat her well,” Samuel said. It sounded like a promise.


    Henry did not speak.


    Samuel said nothing further, as well.


    “Mr. Taibbi, are you leaving now? Rich people like you would often go to dinner and get to know other


    people?”

    A group of wealthy families‘ children in the parking lot stopped Quinton from leaving in retaliation.


    Spike did not care about Quinton now. Quinton could be messed up even if he had some money.


    Quinton lit a cigarette and signaled to Jessica to get in the car first.


    Jessica shook her head and held Quinton’s arm tightly.


    Quinton frowned and scolded her, “Get lost!”


    The children of rich families were eager to start a fight.


    Henry was already in a bad mood, to begin with. Passing by the parking lot, he kicked the wealthy


    families‘ children who were about to start a fight..


    “You fu*king…” One of them cursed. When he turned around, his face turned pale with fear.


    He was shocked to see that it was Henry.


    One of them did not recognize Henry and rushed forward to fight him.


    Zachary raised his hand to grab the man’s wrist and pinned it directly onto the car.


    “Mr. Gibson…”


    “He’s my brother.” Henry reached out to ask Zachary for a cigarette.


    Cecilia was absent, and Zachary did not have a tacit ord with Henry. Therefore, he did not offer


    Henry a cigarette.


    Henry frowned and became even more dissatisfied with Zachary. “This kind of bodyguard is useless,”


    Henry thought.


    Quinton had a disdainful expression but still reached out and handed Henry a cigarette.


    “Misunderstanding… These are all misunderstandings…” The group of wealthy families‘ children got up


    and ran


    away.


    No one dared to provoke a fight with Henry.


    “Don’t go out and show up in public these days. Get yourself settled and stable. Let’s discuss what you


    want to doter,” Henry said. His words were vague but full of meanings.


    Quinton understood what Henry meant by discussing what he wanted to doter. It meant that


    everything would have to wait until Spike was involved.


    The police had filed evidence and started re–investigating the case ording to his statement. They


    would definitely be able to send Spike to prison once they got hold of concrete evidence against him.


    Quinton did not say anything in reply. He lowered his head and remained silent.


    “Tell me what you need,” Henry added.


    They were rted by blood, after all.


    Quinton caused quite the problems in Muprary. Without Henry, he would have been gone long ago.


    Now that he had Jessica, he was somewhat calmer and more mature.


    “Jessica…” Henry’s voice was a little hoarse when his gaze fell on Jessica. “She doesn’t have many


    friends, but she’s willing to ept you. This shows that she likes you very much. Please take care of


    her from now on.”


    Jessica knew that Henry was talking about Josie.


    Jessica nodded quickly while feeling a little nervous.


    She wondered if Henry was actually asking for her help.


    “Oh, God. So many things happened today. I feel like a big rock has hit my head. I need to cool off,”


    Jessica thought.


    “Let’s go.” Henry did not say much. He red at Zachary coldly and motioned at him to follow.


    “Henry, you’re so rich, so how about treating me to barbecue? Let’s have a drink together as single


    men. What do you think?” Zachan


    could not read the room.


    Henry was irritated on the other hand.


    “It seems that you only drink foreign wine because of your status. I bet you never had draft beer, right?


    Let’s go. I’ll take you to a pace. You’re paying.” Zachary did not notice the irritated look in Henry’s eyes.

    “Take it easy. It’s no use trying to make something that is not meant to happen. If it did, I would have


    taken Josie


    away and locked her up so that she would always belong to me.” Zachary bumped Henry with his


    shoulder.


    He knew Henry was upset.


    “You dare?” Henry threatened coldly.


    He had indeed nned to do this before, but then he found out that Josie was ill..


    He did not even dare to breathe, regretting everything he had done.


    “I’m not that kind of person. I know there is no use in forcing something that’s not meant to happen.”


    Then Zachary padded.


    Henry nced at him and inexplicably wanted to try drinking draft beer. “Won’t you be getting a


    stomachache after drinking draft beer?”


    “What


    are you, a princess?” Zachary was shocked. “Then, is sleeping under a bridge to avoid your people not


    the human way to live?”


    Henry frowned and was unwilling to say another word to Zachary.


    “Such a person can’t shake off the vagrant spirit in him,” Henry thought.


    Meanwhile, at Samuel’s house.


    It was eleven o’clock in the evening when Samuel returned home.


    Josie was lying on the couch and waiting for Samuel before she inevitably fell asleep.


    “Jo…” Samuel was afraid Josie would be startled, so he called softly. “I’m back.”


    Josie nodded and sat up drowsily.


    “Jo… Here. It’s for you.” Samuel handed over the jewelry to Josie.


    Josie opened his eyes to take a look. Then her gaze suddenly froze.
