Chapter 803 Gathering Evidence
Jessica was left stunned on the spot. By the time she gathered her wits to chase after Lucille, the latter had already vanished without a trace.
Lucille took refuge in Cecilia’s parked car not too far away, observing Jessica who was looking around. The sight gave her a considerable amount of relief.
“Well done,” said Cecilia.
“Thank you.”
Rolling up her sleeves, Lucille took another look at her own, bright red palm.This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .
Clearly, she must have used a lot of strength when she hit Jessica.
She pulled out the recording from earlier once again.
“It’s all recorded. We’ll let Mason hear it later and see what kind of excuses he can come up with then,” declared Lucille.
“There’s no rush.”
Cecilia pointed toward somewhere nearby.
Jessica had covered her face after failing to find Lucille. She was just about to pick up her phone to call Mason and tattle on his girlfriend.
But then a thought occurred to her. What if Mason truly loves this Lucille? If he stands by Lucille’s side, wouldn’t that worsen my shot?
What she wanted was Nathaniel, not Mason.
With those considerations in mind, Jessica had no choice but to swallow her indignation.
She glanced at the time, thinking she still had a moment to enjoy herself.
So, she went to the largest nightclub in town and invited some handsome men to hang out with her.
What she didn’t know was that someone had bee following her all along.
The ones following her were no longer Cecilia and Lucille.
Being pregnant, it was inconvenient for Cecilia to constantly follow Jessica. Thus, she lay in her car and had Sven assign someone to follow and film Jessica.
Lucille was also asleep beside her, albeit in a rather sour mood. She was so upset that she didn’t even answer Mason’s call.
She merely texted: I’m at my friend’s house today. I won’t be coming home tonight.
Upon seeing her text, a sense of loss overcame Mason, prompting him to call her again.
Lucille still refused to answer.
Mason could only send another message: Babe, why didn’t you answer your phone?
Lucille: I’m at my friend’s place, and she’s already asleep. I don’t want to answer the call in case it wakes her up.
Mason: Fine. Remember to call me when you wake up tomorrow.
She left him on read.
Mason had no idea that Lucille was actually sleeping in a spacious RV with Cecilia.
Cecelia’s vehicle was quipped to receive live footage from the people she had sent out to tail Jessica. It wasn’t long before she saw what she was waiting for – Jessica entering a hotel with several men.
Beside her, Lucille was also stunned.
“Was she always such a player?” muttered Lucille.
Cecilia too, found the sight hard to believe. After all, on the surface, Jessica had always maintained an image of innocence, almost as if she was completely oblivious to matters between men and women.
Once Jessica and her group entered, they did not reemerge.
Cecilia said to Lucille, “Why don’t you come back with me to Daltonia Villa and sleep there tonight? It’s not comfortable to sleep in the car.”
Lucille didn’t reject the offer. “All right, but really, I hate to trouble you.”
“It’s no trouble at all,” responded Cecilia.
Lucille didn’t return home that night and never answered her phone, which led to a sleepless night for Mason.
That was the first time his girlfriend hadn’t come home for the night. Although Mason trusted that she

What?”
“Lucy, how about we go for a feast tonight?”
“Nah, I’m still staying with my friend tonight, so I won’t be home.”
Lucille promptly hung up the phone.
She mulled over how Mason had lied to her about working late when he was another woman. She decided to give Mason the cold shoulder for a few days actually having dinner with
Even Mason, as oblivious as he was, noticed that something was off with his girlfriend. He tried calling her again, but Lucille simply said she had to go to work before shutting off her phone.
Later at the office, both Mason and Nathaniel were preoccupied with thoughts outside of work.
Mason’s mind, especially, was in complete chaos.
