When Her "Death" Couldn't Break Him

Chapter 802 Jessica And Her Schemes

Upon hearing Cecille’s analogy, Lucille couldn’t help but burst into laughter. “I’ve always thought of you as a very serious woman. I never knew you could be so funny.”

She wiped away the tears glistening at the corner of her eye.

“Let’s continue with our meal, or it’ll get cold,” Lucille suggested.

“Okay.”

Cecilia vowed she would not let Mason off the hook if he ever hurt the innocent girl before her.Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

Fortunately, after Mason had finished eating with Jessica, he was ready to leave.

The two of them also followed suit and went out.

Jessica held Mason’s hand and said, “Mason, I don’t want to go back. Can you stay with me?”

Glancing at the time, Mason noted it was nearly eleven.

“No, I can’t. I promised my girlfriend that I’d be home before eleven.”

“Can’t you call her and let her know that you’ll be spending time with me?” asked Jessica.

It was shocking that Jessica even mustered those words.

Mason still felt that she was being unreasonable, so he pulled his hand away.

He said, “Be good and listen to me. I’ll have the driver take you back to Daltonia Villa.”

“I don’t want to go back to Daltonia Villa. Cecelia’s going to bully me when I’m there,” whined Jessica.

Mason found her claim somewhat peculiar. Every member of the help in Daltonia Villa adored Cecilia.

He had never heard of Cecilia bullying the residence staff before. Is Cecelia somehow jealous of Jessica?

“Then I’ll book a hotel for you,” offered Mason.

“Staying alone in a hotel is too unsafe for a young lady,” Jessica argued.

She was determined to make Mason fall for her and obey her every whim, all to aid her in winning over Nathaniel.

Mason’s brows furrowed slightly. It was time for him to go home,

Lucy’s going to be worried.

“I really have to go now,” he said, “I’ve arranged for a bodyguard to stay with you. You’ll be safe.”

The two of them had been entangled for quite a while. Just before Mason was about to leave, Jessica hugged him.

“Thank you, Mason”

Mason pulled away from her grasp, got into the car alone, and headed back home.

Once Mason left, Jessica wiped away the tear that had lingered at the corner of her eye, her face regaining its usual indifference.

After much difficulty, she finally arrived in Tudela, but she hadn’t taken the time to properly explore or enjoy herself.

Just as Jessica was about to leave, a woman blocked her path.

The woman standing before her was rather pretty, yet Jessica didn’t recognize her.

“Who are you?”

“I’m Mason’s girlfriend.”

Jessica was taken aback.

Then, she scanned her surroundings but found no sign of Mason.

“Were you stalking me and Mason?”

Stalking?

Lucille couldn’t help but let out a cold chuckle. “And what if I was?”

Jessica laughed and spat, “I knew the woman Mason was seeing wouldn’t amount to much. Now that I’ve met you, my suspicions are true.”

Clearly, Lucille had not yet learned how to retort.

Originally, Cecilia intended to step in and lend a hand, but Lucille herself.

topped her. She wanted to handle it by

“So, in your opinion, you and Mason are a better match?” asked Lucille.

“Of course, it’s certainly a better match than you and Mason.”

Jessica was particularly pleased with herself and continued, “You know, you’re being so petty, even resorting to stalking. Wouldn’t Mason be disgusted if he knew about this? Tsk, tsk, he surely wouldn’t reject you, because he doesn’t even fancy you in the first place.”

Jessica was not at all intimidated by Lucille. In her eyes, Lucille wasn’t even worth her time.

Jessica deliberately provoked further, “Do you know why I arranged a private meeting with Mason today? It’s because I wanted to seduce him. What can you do about that?”

Jessica spitefully spewed out harsh words, completely oblivious to Lucille’s secret recording.

Just in case, Cecilia stood at a distance, but she still overheard Jessica’s nasty remarks.

It would be too much for Lucille to listen quietly to the other woman’s provocations like this.

Lucille swiftly raised her hand and fiercely slapped Jessica across the face.

Before Jessica could even react, Lucille had run away.
