Chapter 184 Shut Him Up
Seeing that the man's neck was about to be cut by the edge of the car window, the people around who had backed away screamed in fear.
Oh no, this was going to be fatal! Cutting the throat wasn't a joke!
In a critical moment, someone firmly grabbed Jessica, pulling her back forcefully, barely saving the man's intact throat and life.
Jessica was caught off guard, lost her balance, and fell backward. She thought someone in the car was helping the man, so she swung her bag back with force while trying to stabilize herself. However, her movement when turning around was too strong, and the person grabbed her hand at the moment she almost fell back, pulling her into his arms heavily.
Jessica glared angrily at the person in the car, who was still covering his neck and looking terrified. She turned her eyes away in anger but suddenly stopped. The almost irrational expression just now seemed to be instantly sobered up as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over it.
Gabriel held her with one hand and held her hand with the other, lifting it. He looked at the wrist of the female warrior who had just been pierced by broken glass, his eyes cold as if he could freeze all the blood on Jessica's skin and in her body in the next moment.
Even though Gabriel's eyes were like a storm about to break, seeing Jessica's current expression, the words on the tip of his tongue were just. "Don't act impulsively. Causing harm to anyone is not beneficial to anyone!"
Jessica took a deep breath and spoke with a hoarse voice, "He took a photo of Danielle."
Gabriel still held her hand, patting it reassuringly. "Leave it to me."
She knew very well what she had just done.
Even though she didn't succeed.
At this moment, Jessica didn't struggle. Quietly, almost exhausted, she let Gabriel lead her to the car she was driving and opened the door for her to sit in first to avoid being seen by more people.
As Gabriel closed the car door for her from the outside, he glanced coldly at the person in the car holding the camera, who looked fearful.
The person in the car went from the thrilling moments just now to an inexplicable chill at this moment. Although Gabriel had just saved his life, the deathly stare of this man made him even more fearful than before.
Landon's car quickly arrived, accompanied by two police cars, one from a passerby's report and one from Cynthia.
Even though there was no homicide here, the area was quickly cordoned off, dispersing all onlookers.
After Cynthia arrived at the scene, she first saw Gabriel, slightly surprised, and then glanced at Jessica in the car. She walked directly over, opened the car door, and saw the injury on Jessica's wrist, immediately asking, "How did you get hurt? Is it serious?"
"It's nothing, just scratched by the glass," Jessica replied, moving her hand behind her back.
Both of them heard Gabriel instructing the person coming from the other police car, "Take this person away. Bring everything in his hands as well. Landon, send a company lawyer over."
Landon nodded.
After all, Jessica had acted first by injuring someone, although it didn't result in a fatality. If the guy in the car wanted to press charges, it would still tarnish Jessica's reputation. Sending a lawyer over promptly could provide a defense to avoid any further trouble. It would be reasonable to bail Jessica out of the police station later.
Jessica didn't catch what Gabriel quietly said to the other police officers nearby. He was standing with his back to her, his tall and straight figure blocking most of her view, leaving only Landon standing beside him with a serious expression.
Then, it seemed like she heard Gabriel say, "Shut him up."
Landon responded, "Understood."
Xyleria Downtown Hospital.
Jessica was taken upstairs by a doctor to bandage the wound on her wrist.
Cynthia, dressed in police uniform, stood in the quiet examination room, looking at the figure standing by the window. After a long silence, she spoke, "Mr. Harriman."
Gabriel glanced back lightly at her. "No wonder Jimmy Cox has been paying so much attention to domestic affairs recently. It's because of you."
Cynthia heard Jimmy's name but showed no expression on her face. "I'm sorry, I am no longer with the FBI, and I have cut ties with him Having freed myself from the past constraints, I cannot serve under Mr. Harriman either. It's an irrelevant topic. Let's keep it brief."
Gabriel didn't say much more, as if they hadn't just discussed anything. He picked up the bottle of antiseptic prescribed by the doctor for Jessica and said lightly, "What's your relationship with Jessica?"
"Friends."
Suddenly, the voices of nurses outside the room were heard.
"Oh my goodness, something big happened downstairs!"
"What happened?"
"I heard that the person who just came up for treatment is the recently popular female star, Jessica. It seems like something happened to her on Redda Road today, and it was captured by passersby and posted online. Some of Donna's supporters discovered Jessica was in the hospital. A mob of fans descended on the hospital, causing a ruckus at the entrance and demanding answers from Jessica. !"
Upon hearing this, Cynthia quickly turned to look outside.
The nurses outside were still discussing, "Didn't Jessica go upstairs for treatment?"
"She did, but she heard that fans were coming to block her, so she suddenly came downstairs before her hand was fully bandaged!"
"Oh my goodness, she's probably going to be blocked as soon as she goes downstairs."
Cynthia turned her gaze to Gabriel.
Gabriel, with an expressionless face, put down the bottle of antiseptic in his hand and quickly walked out of the room.
Jessica received Mackenzie’s call downstairs, telling her not to come down as Donna's fans—about five or six of them—were coming.
Jessica had just returned from the police station and was back at the hospital for bandaging.
Mackenzie had already roughly understood what had happened and had also arrived at the hospital. From a distance, she could see those fans waiting at the entrance.
"They're here to cause trouble. Stay upstairs in the hospital and don't move. I'll call the hospital security to handle it."
But to everyone's surprise, after Jessica hung up, she not only didn't continue with the bandaging but even exposed her arms with numerous scars and went downstairs directly, walking out of the hospital.
As soon as she stepped out, she was indeed blocked.
A mix of young girls - tall, short, plump, skinny - brandished crudely photoshopped images of Jessica from the internet, emblazoned with the brash demand: "Jessica, Quit Showbiz! They aggressively surrounded Jessica.
"You have no shame, flaunting like a social butterfly with an endorser. Donna had worked so hard. Why do you have the audacity to show off in front of her? Bullying her when she has fewer fans just after her debut?"
"Do you think no one knows that you slept with a wealthy man for a transaction to get the endorsement from Tilans? Who do you think you are? You're even a home wrecker! Shameless!"
Facing the barrage of accusations from these girls, Jessica glanced at the hospital security guards rushing over from a distance, raised her hand slightly, signaling them not to come over yet.
Lowering her hand, she smiled lightly. "So, what do you want by coming here?"
