Chapter 128
Bennett continued shaking his head firmly.
"Okay, then." Trevor's brows furrowed. "Remember to get some rest and don't study too hard."
He was not an idiot, and he knew there must be a reason Bennett refused to let him meet the child.
The more Bennett stopped him from meeting the boy, the more he wanted to know the boy's identity.
Upon leaving the study, Trevor sent someone to stalk Bennett. It was a piece of cake for him to discover a child's secret.
At that moment, Bennett didn't even realize that his and Asher's secret had been exposed.
Trevor's heart clenched when he saw the picture sent by Martin in his phone. He stood up from his seat before the desk in shock.
"Not just Faye, but all the kids have returned, too?" bethought.
What he had been worried about for years had suddenly resurfaced.
Apart from Bennett, he had a lot of children.
However, he mustn't act rashly for the time being. If he appeared before the kids, Jessica would most definitely shy away.
Left without a choice, Trevor could only tell Bennett to give Asher some money to repay him for his help.
Worried that Jessica might know about this, Asher didn't dare tell the woman about how he got the money.
At the moment, Jessica was focused on the Queen family's matters, thus ignoring the kids.
The Queen family was currently in hot water. Jonathan, the ungrateful bastard, drove the Queen family into a corner.
Although the Queen family was already in such a sorry state, he still set them up by pretending to turn over a new leaf and proposed to collaborate with them. He even offered them generous collaboration benefits. Nevertheless, at the same time, he utilized the Jackson family's power and caused the other companies to boycott the Queen family.
Left without a choice, the Queen family could only collaborate with Jonathan as a last resort.
After all, the Queen family was currently like a weak and helpless bunny who was caught in a trap. They would try to grab every single trace of hope that was presented to them.
As expected, Jonathan backed out
halfway into the collaboration with a proper reason. Due to the spy he had planted in the Queen family, he easily defeated them and deprived them of any chance to rise to
success again.
Since Jessica had returned to Horington, she could not just stand by and watch. However, she didn't know how she could help.
The only way to help the Queen family was through Trevor, but that was difficult, too.
Trevor was not someone who could be manipulated and used, and there was no way he would be willing to deal with the Queen family's mess.
Moreover, Jessica was injured. It would be weird if she forcibly returned to work at the company.
Just as she was pondering, Alfred came.
"Are you feeling better?" "Yes."
Sitting on the couch, Jessica took the remote control and turned off the television, which she was not paying attention to anyway. "Leave Gulliford Group, Jessica. I can help you."This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.
Alfred looked at her fair face and sighed with a frown.
"I can't leave now. For some reason, Trevor has his eyes on me. If I leave now, he'd suspect me. You know the consequences." Jessica wanted to leave too, but she didn't know.
She couldn't possibly abandon the Queen family and leave Horington with the kids like how she did three years ago.
Three years ago, she was only
concerned about herself, but now that she was back in Horington, she wanted to atone for the past sins that she had once selfishly committed. She returned for the sake of the Queen family.
"I'm just worried you might get hurt, Jessica."
"I know, Alfred. Thanks for your concern."
Naturally, Jessica knew the reason that Alfred unconditionally helped her over the past few years. He did it out of his love for her.
"Stop thanking me. You know that's not what I want."
Alfred's mind was in a mess as he turned away to light a cigarette.
