Chapter 429 What Exactly Is Our Relationship Now? (3)
In her impression, John had always been so kind and treated her so well.
When it came to work, John was also diligent, leaving early and coming back late.
How could he talk nonsense and slander her father?
The more Jessica thought about it, the angrier she became, her eyes turning red.
She wiped the moisture from the corners of her eyes, feeling extremely disappointed.
She had thought that tonight, after coming out of Gerald's hospital room and saying so many heartfelt words to him, he would understand her.
But he was still that self-righteous, domineering, and selfish man.
After who knows how long, that familiar voice came over, "How long are you planning to stay here? If you catch a cold, I'll have to take care of you."
Jessica was startled, turned around to look at him, and said defiantly, "If I catch a cold, I'll deal with it myself. I don't need you! Or, I'll go back to my dad!"
"Fine, then go now, go back right now."
James pointed to the door and said, "After you go back, you can wait at home with your dad for the court to come and seize your assets."
Jessica, half coaxed and half scared by him, hesitated in place, unable to decide whether to leave or stay.
Only then did James walk over, pulling the still-angry Jessica into his arms, and said softly, "Alright, I won't talk about your dad like that anymore."
Jessica still refused to forgive him, broke free from his embrace, sniffed, and said, "You can say whatever you want about me, but you can't slander my dad like that. If you say he harmed someone, show me the evidence. Otherwise, you're just talking nonsense."
James thought for a moment and said, "How about this: let your dad come to the Kelly Corporation tomorrow to talk to me. If, after our talk, he still insists on not letting the company be acquired by the Kelly Corporation, I won't insist anymore and will lend him the money. How about that?"
Jessica didn't expect him to compromise so easily.
She asked somewhat uncertainly, "Really?"
"Yes."
James smiled bitterly and said, "Your dad should thank the heavens for giving him such a good daughter. And luckily, I like his daughter."
Jessica was slightly stunned, not knowing how to respond.
So, was this James's confession?
How much did he really like her?
If he knew she was carrying his child, would he still continue to like her?
Or would he see her and the baby as a burden?
Jessica didn't dare to take that gamble.
She could only look at him sincerely and say, "Thank you for giving my dad this opportunity."
James gazed deeply at her and said, "You should know, what I want has never been your gratitude."
Jessica quickly looked away and said, "Tomorrow, I'll have my dad go to the Kelly Corporation to see you."
The next day, John went to the Kelly Corporation to prevent the company from being acquired.
At that time, James was in a meeting discussing the acquisition of The Evans Corporation.
Hearing that John had arrived, he ended the meeting and had someone bring John in.
From the time John arrived until now, he had been waiting for a full half hour.
John said coldly, "Mr. Kelly, you don't need to have someone serve me tea, I won't drink it. Since you want to humiliate me, I've already waited for you long enough. Just say what you have to say."
James sneered and said, "I think you misunderstand. The reason you waited so long is because I was in a meeting, not because I intended to humiliate you. However, if you weren't Jessica's father, you probably wouldn't even have the qualification to sit here and talk to me."
