Chapter 6

  • Jessica's POV
  • "Damn it!" I gasped, dropping my phone on the table.
  • "What happened, Ms. Riddle?" Lucas asked.
  • "That asshole Zander threatened me with Johnny," I said angrily.
  • "He's gonna use Johnny's company against you?" Lucas asked, "I don't think that's a big problem for us."
  • "That company is all he has. I don't want him bothered." I sighed, "I didn't think Zander would be so mean."
  • "So what's your plan now?"
  • "I'm going to the Harrison Group," I said, grabbing my bag and cell phone.
  • I drove alone to the Harrison Group.
  • When I entered the building, the scene of yesterday came over me again.
  • A feeling of nausea welled up.
  • I took a deep breath to calm myself.
  • "Mrs. Harrison, good evening."
  • The security guard greeted me with a smile. I smiled and ran to the elevator.
  • The elevator stopped at the top floor. I walked quickly towards Zander's office.
  • I wanted to talk to Zander thoroughly.
  • Just as I was about to arrive at the door, a familiar voice sounded behind me.
  • "Jessica, wait."
  • I stopped and turned around, and my eyebrows furrowed involuntarily.
  • It was Serena.
  • She wiggled her ass towards me in a tight short skirt.
  • I looked at the woman who had interfered in my marriage, but I wasn't angry at all.
  • Probably because I knew that it wasn't because of anyone else that Zander and I had become the way we were.
  • I didn't want to talk to her. I turned around and kept walking.
  • "Stop, where are you going? Don't just walk around the Harrison Group."
  • Serena ran up to me, blocking my path.
  • "Fuck off," I whispered.
  • Serena looked at me surprisingly, "Mr. Harrison isn't in his office, so get out of there."
  • "What? Didn't Mr. Harrison inform you? He asked me to come." I raised an eyebrow, looking at her.
  • "You're talking nonsense!" Serena remained motionless. She said, "No one is allowed in Mr. Harrison's office without an appointment. It's my duty as his secretary."
  • Hearing her words, I let out a mocking laugh.
  • I said coldly, "Is it also a secretary's duty to sleep with her boss?"
  • Upon hearing my words, Serena didn't show a panicked or embarrassed expression. Instead, she looked a little smug and said, "Yes, I..."
  • Before she could finish her sentence, I raised my hand and slapped her.
  • I can do some martial arts. So even with half my strength, the slap was powerful enough.
  • Serena let out a painful scream and staggered back two steps, clutching her face and looking at me in fear.
  • "How dare you!" she shouted.
  • "You know what? You're not even worth talking to me," I said, grabbing her hair and dragging her forward.
  • In the midst of her shocked screams, I pushed open the door and then forcefully threw her into Zander's office.
  • "What's going on?" Zander furrowed his brow and looked at both me and Serena.
  • Before I could speak, Serena rushed over to Zander's desk. Her face bore the marks of the slap, her hair was a mess, and she cried, "I don't know why, but Jessica just slapped me when she saw me."
  • "I told you to address her as Mrs. Harrison," Zander said in a stern tone.
  • Serena suddenly fell silent.
  • It seemed she hadn't expected that Zander didn't offer her any comfort.
  • "What's going on?" Zander's gaze shifted towards me.
  • I pointed to the door and said, "Your secretary wouldn't let me in. Go check out the cameras yourself."
  • Serena's expression changed, and she immediately started to defend herself, "If Mr. Harrison asked you to come, you could have told me with a better attitude. But you started by assaulting me."
  • "Serena!" Zander shouted at her, "Get out!"
  • Serena's face turned red, and she ran out, covering her face.
  • Zander took out the divorce agreement and placed it on the desk. He stared at me and said, "Take it back. I never cheated, so this divorce reason doesn't hold."
  • "I'll come up with a different reason and provide you with a new one then," I said nonchalantly.
  • "Don't push your luck," Zander threatened.
  • "Zander, you don't actually think I still love you, do you? Would you let someone have sex in your office?" I mocked.
  • Zander, surprisingly, showed a hint of a smile and said, "Why are you so angry? Your behavior now seems a lot like jealousy, doesn't it?"
