Chapter 530 Couldn't Bear It Any Longer
Upon hearing Celia's words, Francis's expression became even more confused.
Jessica said he was her husband, and he and Jessica had children.
Celia said he and Celia were deeply in love, and the engagement ceremony was real.
For a moment, Francis's mind was in chaos.
He tried hard to think, to remember.
But his brain was a blank slate when it came to memories.
And every time he tried to think, his head hurt terribly.
"It's late, go inside and sleep!" Francis said.
"Okay."
Since she met Francis the day before, Jessica went to bed late and naturally woke up later the next morning.
Around nine o'clock, she was just groggily waking up.
At this moment, someone was knocking on the door urgently.
"Anne, what's wrong?" Seeing it was her, Jessica was a bit surprised.
Anne was the person Oscar had sent from The Walton Manor to take care of her.
"Mrs. Walton, you should go down and take a look. Louie had a conflict with a woman, and now that woman is making a big scene, rolling on the ground, insisting on seeing you."
"I think the situation is a bit serious, so I came up to find you."
"What woman?" Jessica was puzzled.
"The woman said her name is Celia. Celia came over angrily early this morning, insisting on seeing you. Louie wouldn't let her in, and they are at a standoff."
At this, Jessica instantly understood.
Jessica changed out of her pajamas as quickly as possible, ran a hand through her hair, and hurried downstairs with Anne.
As soon as she got downstairs, she heard Celia's arrogant voice. "Move aside, I want to see Jessica. Who are you to stop me?"
"Mrs. Walton is resting. No matter what your business is, I won't allow you to disturb her."
Louie stood at the door like a statue.
Celia pushed hard with her hands, but no matter how hard she pushed, it had no effect.
"Move aside."
"I'm telling you, I must see Jessica today."
"Honestly, you're pretty, but I didn't expect you to be so shameless. How dare you seduce Francis with that big belly of yours."
Louie was always quick, ruthless, and precise in his actions.
He had no patience for women like Celia.
Raising his hand, his palm was about to strike Celia's face.
"Louie."
Suddenly, Jessica called out.
Hearing Jessica's voice, Louie turned to look at her. "I'm sorry, Mrs. Walton, it's my fault for not handling this well and waking you up."
"It's okay, it's not your fault. It's Celia's filthy mouth that deserves a slap."
Celia was furious. "You shameless adulterer, who are you to talk about me?"
Celia's words were extremely harsh.
Surprisingly, instead of getting angry, Jessica smiled.
But the next moment, suddenly, Louie heard the sound of a slap.
When he came to his senses, Jessica's slap had already landed on Celia's face.
Celia covered her face, staring at Jessica in disbelief. "You dare to hit me?"
Jessica didn't say a word. Her response was a second slap landing precisely on Celia's left cheek.
This time, Celia was completely stunned.
Celia even forgot to move her hand covering her cheek.
Jessica flexed her wrist and then looked at Louie. "If a slap is in order, it should come from me."
Louie smirked and nodded in agreement. "Mrs. Walton is right. Celia should be disciplined by you."
Celia was furious hearing their words.
Celia was not someone who could be easily bullied, so after coming to her senses, she immediately wanted to fight back.
However, as soon as Celia raised her hand before she could get close to Jessica.
Suddenly, Louie had already grabbed Celia's wrist.
Louie had no intention of showing any mercy to her, so his grip was strong and forceful.
Celia immediately cried out in pain, "It hurts, let go of me."
But Louie ignored her, acting as if he hadn't heard a thing.
Celia was in so much pain that her face turned pale, and tears were about to fall.
"Jessica, how can you treat me like this? Aren't you afraid Francis will come after you?"
Jessica crossed her arms and looked at her leisurely. "Celia, remember, the shameless adulterer you're talking about is none other than yourself."
"Francis and I are legally married. You have no right to flaunt in front of me. The reason I tolerate you is because I don't even consider you a threat, but that doesn't give you the right to insult me."
"If you dare to speak rudely to me again, believe me, I'll throw you into the wilderness to feed the dogs."
"You dare?"
Suddenly, Celia straightened her back and glared at Louie. "I warn you, you better let go of me right now."
"If anything happens to the baby in my belly, Francis will take revenge on you."
Jessica thought she had misheard.
Jessica reached out and grabbed Louie's arm to steady herself.
"Celia, what did you just say? Say it again!"
Jessica's eyes were fixed on her.
Seeing Jessica's distraught look, Celia became even more smug.
"I didn't say anything before because I didn't want to embarrass you. You forced me. Otherwise, I wouldn't stoop to using the baby in my belly to compete for favor."
Celia was pregnant.
Celia was carrying Gabriel's baby.
At that moment, Jessica felt all her strength drain away.
What had Jessica been desperately searching for, trying to reclaim?
Jessica was too naive. Jessica thought that as long as she found Gabriel and restored his memory, they could go back to the way things were.
But now, everything was different.
Gabriel and Celia had a baby.
So what should be done with this baby? What should happen next?
Jessica didn't know. Her mind was in chaos.
"Jessica, are you scared now?"
"Having a baby is no big deal. You have one, and so do I."
"Now, let's see who Francis cares about more."
Jessica had never seen someone so shameless. She was trembling with anger, her teeth grinding.
Jessica couldn't bear it any longer.
Jessica looked at Louie and spoke clearly, "Now, throw her out immediately."
"Okay, Mrs. Walton."
Louie didn't hesitate at all to Jessica's words.
He seized Celia by the collar and, leveraging his height and strength, nearly dragged her out.
Celia cursed loudly, "Jessica, make him stop. How dare you treat me like this?"
"I'm telling you, Francis is coming over soon."
Mentioning Francis only made Jessica angrier.
Jessica looked at Louie. "Since when did you become so slow?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Louie dragged Celia out forcefully.
The door in front of Jessica suddenly closed.
Everything around her seemed to ease back into a state of tranquility.
