Chapter 496 What Right Do You Have to Beg Me? (2)
Jessica never expected that Jacob would be so bold as to flirt with this woman right in front of the Stewart family.
"This is just too much!"
Her anger flared up instantly.
She took a few quick steps to stand in front of Jacob, glaring at him, and said, "I should be asking you, what are you doing here? Where's Lily? Where did you take her?"
Jacob, without a hint of guilt, calmly replied, "This place is no longer the Stewart family’s home; it’s my future father-in-law’s house. As for Lily, I broke up with her a long time ago. I have no obligation to know her whereabouts."
"What did you say?"
Jessica's mind buzzed. Such a sudden change was hard for her to process.
But with Lily not answering her phone and nowhere to be found, how could she just leave?
So, Jessica decided to stay at the Stewart family’s place. She told Jacob, "If you don't find Lily today, I'm not leaving. I'll stay here with you! Jacob, listen to me, if anything happens to Lily, I will never forgive you!"
Sarah suddenly laughed, sneering, "Who do you think you are, causing trouble on the Carter Family’s turf? Didn't you hear Jacob? He has nothing to do with Lily anymore."
"Shut up!"
Jessica shouted angrily, "And who do you think you are? This is none of your business!"
Sarah laughed sinisterly, saying word by word, "Then let me tell you, the Stewart family is bankrupt, and Lily has gone to be someone's mistress! This has been the talk of the town lately. If you don't believe me, just ask around and you'll find out who her sugar daddy is."
Jessica slapped Sarah hard across the face.
She was trembling with anger, glaring at Sarah, unable to say a word.
Sarah, furious, pointed at her, "How dare you hit me! Who do you think you are!"
With that, she lunged at Jessica, and the two women started fighting.
Jacob watched the scene, not wanting to help either of them.
After all, neither woman mattered to him; he didn't care who got hurt.
Unlike Lily, Jessica didn't know Taekwondo.
Moreover, Sarah was sturdier than her, and it didn't take long for Jessica to be at a disadvantage.
Just as Sarah grabbed her hair and was about to slap her, a strong hand suddenly gripped her wrist.
Sarah instinctively froze, looking at James in shock.
In the high society of Ocean City, who wouldn't recognize James?
But why would James be here, helping Jessica?
James pushed Sarah away and pulled Jessica into his arms protectively.
Jessica, still shaken, worried not about herself but about the baby in her belly.
She silently blamed herself for being too impulsive.
James's cold gaze fell on Sarah, and he said word by word, "It seems Sarah not only has a talent for stealing men but also for fighting. Impressive!"
Sarah's face turned extremely awkward, but knowing James's status, she didn't dare to confront him.
Jacob, however, suddenly spoke up, coldly saying, "Sir, please watch your words. This is the Carter Family’s territory, not a place for you to act recklessly!"
After all, he had spent many years abroad and wasn't familiar with Ocean City.
James narrowed his eyes, signaling danger.
Sarah quickly pulled Jacob aside, whispering in his ear, "We can't afford to mess with this guy. He's the head of the Kelly Family, the most powerful family in Kyro City."
