Chapter 32 Setting the record straight
"Rose, you have two choices now: either apologize publicly with a video apology or go to the police station and explain yourself."
Lily considered herself a civilized person, so naturally, she wanted to handle things in a civilized manner.
Nowadays, only an apology from Rose could prevent Jessica from being criticized by everyone.
"James..."
"Apologize."
Rose wanted to argue, but she didn't expect James to say that.
On one side was the police, and on the other was James. Rose knew she had no choice, so she finally posted an apology video on social media.
As for Jessica, who was wronged in the first place, she naturally received everyone's apologies and praise.
Because of her injuries, Jessica didn't return to the Kelly Family mansion but stayed in the hospital for two days before going to Lily's place.
At this time, only Lily could take her in.
She didn't want to go back to the Kelly Family mansion, nor did she want to see James.
She knew Rose had already been relocated elsewhere, likely arranged by Gerald. If it were James, he definitely wouldn't have done it.
She knew James too well; he couldn't bear to let Rose suffer even a little.
But this time, there was probably no other way.
"Jessica, I'm telling you, is it worth it for a man like that? Look at your injuries."
It had been five days, and the bruises on Jessica's body were still there. Lily couldn't imagine what kind of beating Jessica had endured at that time.
If Rose hadn't been sent away, she would have sought revenge. Just thinking about those two scumbags made her grit her teeth, but Jessica in front of her was still so in love.
Just as she finished complaining, the doorbell rang.
At ten o'clock, who would come? She didn't have many visitors, only a few colleagues knew about this place.
After helping Jessica adjust her clothes, Lily went to open the door.
"Get lost, you womanizer. You're not welcome here."
The moment she opened the door, Lily's face turned dark.
Standing at the door was James. He had actually found this place. She wasn't surprised; after all, he was James. If he wanted to, there was nothing he couldn't do.
Lily's angry scolding naturally piqued Jessica's curiosity. She thought it was Lily's secret boyfriend, as this wasn't the first time. With Lily's fiery personality, changing boyfriends was a common occurrence.
"Jessica, come home with me."
Ignoring Lily, James walked straight into the apartment. In the small apartment, he immediately saw Jessica sitting on the sofa.
He was there to take Jessica home, but mainly because of Gerald's orders. If it weren't for that, he wouldn't have come.
It was an indescribable feeling. The incident video, the complete video, and the police video—he had watched them countless times, feeling a mix of emotions.
He knew he had misunderstood Jessica, but if she had explained properly at the time, he would have believed her.
‘Home?’
Hearing this word, Jessica was slightly stunned, her body trembling a little.
"Okay."
A simple word without any emotion.
"Jessica, a man like that..."
Lily wanted to say something, but Jessica stopped her with a finger to her lips. Only they understood their little gestures.
Watching Jessica leave, Lily could only stand there, fuming.
Jessica walked very slowly, so slowly that she couldn't keep up with James's pace.
