Chapter 497 What Right Do You Have to Beg Me? (3)
Jacob's face instantly showed a strange expression.
He never expected that Jessica would be connected to someone so high-ranking and powerful.
He immediately changed his attitude, extended his hand to James, and said, "Mr. Kelly, I'm sorry, there was a misunderstanding earlier. Nice to meet you. How are you related to Jessica?"
James glanced disdainfully at Jacob's hand, showing no intention of shaking it.
He held Jessica tightly in his arms and said word by word, "Listen to me carefully, Jessica is my wife. If you mess with her, you mess with me."
After saying that, he took Jessica's hand and walked straight to his car.
Jacob was completely stunned. How could this be possible?
Sarah was even more incredulous, pulling Jacob and complaining, "Are they joking? I don't believe that woman could marry James! I've never heard her name in our circle."
Jacob looked a bit panicked, fearing that his painstakingly built career would face James's retaliation.
On the way back, Jessica sat in the car, silent.
James was a bit worried and pulled the car over to the side of the road.
He cupped Jessica's cheeks with his hands and said softly, "Let me see, are you hurt?" "No."
Jessica gently pulled away from him, lowered her head, and said sullenly, "Where did they take Lily? Why isn't she answering my calls?"
James sighed and said, "Maybe she just doesn't want you to worry."
Jessica said, "But her family is in such big trouble now, the company went bankrupt, and her dad is in jail. As her best friend, I should help her."
James was silent for a moment, then patiently advised, "So how do you want to help her? Do you have money? Do you have the ability to solve the Stewart family's crisis?"
Jessica was completely stumped by his questions.
She suddenly realized that all her confidence seemed to come from James.
Without him, she was nothing and had nothing.
Back then, with the Evans family's issues, she had already caused him too much trouble. How could she morally coerce him into helping the Stewart family?
But Sarah's words had gotten to Jessica.
Would Lily really become someone's mistress for Adam?
And now that the Stewart family was bankrupt, where would Lily live?
Jessica couldn't help but ask him, "James, can you help Lily? Even just finding out how Uncle Adam is doing would be good."
After all, James rarely refused her requests.
But today, James avoided her gaze and said coldly, "Sorry, I can't promise you that. I don't plan to get involved in the Stewart family's matters."
Jessica sighed in disappointment, feeling too embarrassed to ask him again.
He had indeed helped her too much.
Maybe he was getting tired of it?
Just then, Lily called.
Jessica immediately answered and asked, "Lily, where are you?"
Lily pretended to be nonchalant and said, "At work, I was working overtime earlier and had my phone on silent, so I didn't hear it."
Jessica knew she didn't want her to worry.
"Okay, wait for me at work, I'll come to find you."
Lily hesitated and said, "No need, I just got off work and am almost home. What's up? Is something wrong?"
