Chapter 485 Humble Plea Michael (3)
She sat by the roadside, completely devoid of her usual Miss Evans demeanor, like a homeless doll.
She wanted to find Jessica for help.
She wanted to tell Jessica that it was her own stupidity that allowed Jacob to take advantage of her.
In such a moment of despair and helplessness, Lily really didn't know who to turn to.
Unfortunately, after calling for a long time, Jessica's phone was still off.
Meanwhile, Jessica was already on a plane to Honeywind.
"James, why do we have to go to Honeywind for the wedding photos?"
Jessica looked at him in confusion and said, "I think there are plenty of wedding photography studios in Ocean City that are just fine."
After all, James had never mentioned going abroad for wedding photos before.
But yesterday, he suddenly said he had booked tickets to Honeywind to give her a surprise.
Jessica was hurriedly brought onto the plane by him.
But she didn't know that James had already received the news.
Michael had already taken action against the Stewart family, and if they stayed in Ocean City, Jessica would definitely not stand by and do nothing.
But she didn't have the ability to help, and in the end, this trouble would still fall into his hands.
James didn't want to help, but he couldn't.
After all, he had to consider his friendship with Michael.
And there was an even more important reason: John had caused the death of Michael's father back then.
Since Michael had already spared the Evans family, if he stopped him from taking revenge on Adam, it would indeed be a bit too much.
Therefore, James had to temporarily take Jessica away from Ocean City.
He patiently explained, "We've never gone out to play alone. This time, we can not only take wedding photos but also visit Honeywind. Isn't that great? Ever since grandpa died, we've been feeling very heavy-hearted. Let's take this opportunity to relax, okay?"
Jessica didn't think much of it, only feeling that she should cherish every moment with him.
When they returned to Ocean City, she should also start planning for her future.
She heard that Nathan had a group of PhD and graduate students doing research abroad. If she could successfully apply for his graduate program, she wanted Nathan to transfer her to an overseas lab.
That way, she could completely leave James and Ocean City, the place that brought her so much heartache.
Jessica kept all this to herself, only wanting to use the little time left to fulfill her heart's regrets.
Prestige Law Firm.
"Lawyer Watson, there's a young lady outside looking for you, but she doesn't have an appointment," the assistant said. "She says her last name is Stewart."
Michael slightly curled his lips and said, "Let her in."
Soon, Lily was brought in by the assistant.
Today's Lily looked haggard, completely unlike her usual bright and flamboyant self.
A hint of surprise flashed in Michael's eyes, probably not expecting her to be even more fragile than he had imagined.
With tears in her eyes, Lily bit her lip and said, "Lawyer Watson, I..."
Before she could finish, Michael interrupted, "Miss Stewart, I'm very busy right now and don't have time to see you."
"I can wait."
She tried not to cause him any trouble and said, "I'll wait for you in the lounge outside."
But Michael deliberately made things difficult for her, "Miss Stewart, I'm afraid you can't wait at our firm. After all, your father just went to jail for leaking business secrets. If Miss Stewart inherited your father's traits, what if the firm's secrets were leaked? How would I explain that to my people?"
Lily looked at him in astonishment.
