Chapter 438 Often There Are Times When You Can't Help It (4)
At that moment, James suddenly appeared there. He rushed to Jack, grabbed his collar, and punched him hard.
Jessica screamed in fright and immediately ran to James's side.
Jack's eyes turned blood-red, like an enraged wolf. He raised his fist and said, "At a time like this, you still dare to be so arrogant!"
Saying this, he was about to rush forward and return the punch to James.
But just then, Jessica suddenly blocked James, causing Jack's fist to freeze in mid-air, unable to move an inch further.
Jessica tightly closed her eyes but resolutely stood in front of James, not moving a muscle.
She heard James's furious voice in her ear, and then she was suddenly pulled behind him by James.
"Jessica, are you crazy?" James said sternly, "Who told you to meddle?"
He could hardly imagine what would have happened if Jack hadn't stopped his punch and it had landed heavily on Jessica's face.
And this scene was heart-wrenching for Jack to witness.
Were they putting on a show of deep marital affection in front of him?
Now, whether he could beat James or not, he had already lost.
With that, Jack lowered his fist, glared at them fiercely, and stormed off.
James's face still carried a stormy anger.
But when he met Jessica's innocent and aggrieved eyes, most of his anger dissipated.
James looked at her, gently stroked her cheek, and said softly, "You shouldn't have done that just now. Don't you trust me? Even in a fight, I wouldn't lose to him."
After all, Jack had been beaten by him since they were kids; he had never won against him.
Jessica raised her tear-filled eyes and said tremblingly, "Why didn't you tell me? Our Evans family has caused you so much trouble, why have you never told me?"
James suddenly realized that Jack had come today to talk to Jessica about these things.
He just wanted to tell Jessica that he was unreliable and to win her over.
James couldn't help but laugh at Jack's childishness and stupidity.
Seeing the slight smile on his lips, Jessica angrily shouted at him, "What are you laughing at? I'm asking you, why have you never told me."
James's smile deepened, and he explained calmly, "I'm laughing because I'm relieved. Despite Jack's attempts to drive a wedge between us, you're still on my side. As for your Evans family's issues, since I made this decision, I must bear the consequences. Even if I told you, you wouldn't be able to stop those shareholders' actions."
Jessica said regretfully, "Even if I couldn't stop it, I could have stopped you from helping, so you wouldn't be implicated. I'm sorry, it's all my fault."
"Alright, stop saying sorry. I did all this to make you happy. Now, seeing you pout like this, I feel like everything I've done is meaningless."
Jessica suddenly leaned into his arms and choked out, "Am I really that important to you? Is it worth risking your career and future just to make me happy?"
