Chapter 493 Jessica Takes the Initiative
Jonah nodded firmly, "Of course, I will handle this impartially."
"Thank you, Dad. With your words, I feel more confident to look it up."
In the afternoon, Jessica was discharged from the hospital.
As soon as she was discharged, she arranged to meet someone at a café.
When he arrived, Thaddeus Puckett was wearing a baseball cap, the brim pulled low.
Seeing Jessica, Thaddeus walked over and asked softly, "Ms. Morgan?"
"Yeah."
"Here are the documents from our team. You can take a look first." Thaddeus handed over the folder he was holding.
Jessica didn't even glance at it. She took a sip of water and shot a sharp look at him.
"No need. Since I chose you, it means I have complete trust in you and absolute confidence in your abilities."
"Great, I like how straightforward you are, Ms. Morgan. To be honest, I enjoy dealing with people like you."
"In that case, let's not waste any time."
Jessica handed an envelope to Thaddeus and said, "Demetrius Bridges, 47 years old, truck driver. I won't say more; everything is written here, including his photos."
Thaddeus quickly flipped through a few pages and then looked up in confusion, "The information here is very detailed. What else do you need me to do?"
"I need you to investigate everyone close to him, like his daughter, wife, parents, and siblings, and find out everything they've been up to in the past three months."
"Everything? That won't be cheap. Are you sure?"
"Of course. As I said, I chose you because I know your capabilities and your fees. I can afford whatever you charge."
"Great, I like your style. But I'm curious, the documents you have seem very professional. What made you choose us for this?"
"How soon can you get me the results?" Jessica pressed.
"A week."
Jessica smiled, "You asked why I chose you, right? This is the reason. I need the information in three days."
"They can get the information I need, but they're too slow for me. I need to figure this out quickly., and you are my best choice."
Thaddeus looked at her, "Three days is doable, but it will cost 1.5 times the usual fee."
"If you can get it done, I'll pay you double."
"Great. I'll have everything you need in three days."
Five minutes later, Jessica received a call from Oscar, "Mrs. Walton, everyone you need is in place, ready for your command."
"Okay."
Just as she finished speaking, a well-dressed, six-foot-tall Louie Myles walked in with his head held high.
Seeing Jessica, he slightly bowed, "Mrs. Walton, I'm Louie Myles, the head of your security team. We have twenty people in total, and we'll be responsible for your safety during this period. You can contact me for anything you need."
"To keep your safety, I might have to stay close to you at all times. I hope you understand."
Jessica nodded, "Alright."
Her priority now was to protect herself. Only by doing so could she uncover the truth.
This time, she wouldn't give Patricia and Jack another chance to harm her.
Not just herself but also Freddy and Gilbert. She had arranged the most comprehensive and strict protection for all of them.
Jessica stood up and, to show respect, extended her hand to Louie, "Louie, thank you for coming to protect me. Rest assured, your compensation will not disappoint you."
"Mrs. Walton, it's our duty."
"Now, I'd like to know, besides the twenty people following me, how many more do you have?"
"A total of one hundred."
"Good. The rest should be on standby at all times. I'll cover their pay. My only requirement is that they respond immediately if needed."
"Understood. I'll arrange it right away."
Jessica's gaze fell on his sunglasses, and she said, "Shouldn't you take off your sunglasses now so I can recognize you?"
"Sorry, Mrs. Walton."
Louie removed his sunglasses as he spoke.
The moment she saw his face, Jessica was momentarily stunned.
She stared at him, almost involuntarily calling out.
"Gabr..."
She had almost said the name when a cool breeze blew in, snapping her back to reality. She quickly regained her composure and managed to control herself.
Luckily, the breeze came in time; otherwise, she might have lost her mind.
She never expected Louie to look so much like Gabriel.
Especially at first glance, if she hadn't controlled herself, she would have thought Gabriel had returned.
Jessica took a deep breath and tried to calm down.
Jessica drank a few more sips of warm water.
After a few minutes, Jessica felt a bit more composed.
At this moment, Louie spoke, "Mrs. Walton, what were you about to say?"
"Nothing, just that you look a bit like someone I know. It felt like seeing him."
"By the way, you weren't in charge of security for the Walton family before, were you?"
Louie nodded, "No, I just joined recently."
"Alright." Jessica nodded.
Looking at him again, she felt much calmer.
To avoid misunderstandings, Jessica said, "You should put your sunglasses back on. Don't take them off unless I tell you to."
"Okay, Mrs. Walton."
Two days later, Tina arranged to meet Vincent to return his clothes.
Vincent readily gave her an address and told her to come at 10 AM; he would be there.
When Tina arrived, she found that besides Vincent, there was a long-haired beauty, Brittany Tovar, sitting across from him.
Brittany was very pretty, clearly the gentle and charming type.
As Tina got closer, she noticed that Brittany's facial features bore some resemblance to Jessica's.
Seeing that he was busy, Tina didn't want to disturb him. She found a seat a bit further away and sent Vincent a message, [Vincent, I'm here, but I see you're busy, so I didn't want to interrupt.]
[You go ahead, and I'll give you the clothes when you're done.]
Vincent quickly replied with a simple message, [No need to wait; you can come over now.]
Tina was a bit taken aback by the message.
When she first walked in, she noticed that Brittany was wearing a light-colored dress, white high heels, and a natural makeup look, clearly well-dressed.
If Tina guessed correctly, Vincent was probably on a date with Brittany.
So what would it mean for Tina to go over now?
At that moment, Vincent sent another message, [Do you see me? I'm at table three.]
