Usually at this time, he would ask me to have lunch at the company.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   I looked up at Sean Jessop and thought about the orphanage just now. I didn&#8217;t know how to answer the phone for a moment before turning it off.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Sean Jessop didn&#8217;t say anything.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   When the phone stopped ringing, I asked, &#8220;What do you want to do?&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;I don&#8217;t want to do anything. My grandpa is missing you.&#8221; Sean Jessop said lightly.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   I didn&#8217;t believe his words. I refuted, &#8220;How can it be! Didn&#8217;t you tell grandpa that I killed Molly Carter&#8217;s child and you were breaking up with me?&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Sean Jessop loved Molly Carter so much that he decided I had hurt her.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   How could such a good opportunity not be exploited?   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   I didn&#8217;t believe it!   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   But Sean Jessop looked at me with deep eyes and said, &#8220;What grandpa knows is that you went abroad for further study and just came back the day before yesterday so I&#8217;m going to pick you up tonight.&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   His words stunned me for half a minute.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   What was the meaning of this?   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   In other words, James Jessop didn&#8217;t know I was in prison at all?   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;Why?&#8221; I stared at Sean Jessop. I had no idea what he wanted to do.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   I found myself more and more unable to understand him!   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Sean Jessop raised his hand and laid it on my hand. He said, &#8220;As a businessman, the most important thing is to keep promise. Since I promised you to be Mrs. Jessop, I will not break it.&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Clearly it was midsummer, but when his hand touched me, I felt cold and piercing!   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   At this moment, what came to my mind was everything in the prison!   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   How could I possibly cooperate with the culprit who killed my child?   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   How could I possibly become Mrs. Jessop again?   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;President Jessop, since you love Molly Carter, why do you get entangled with me? I believe that as long as you tell your grandpa about my imprisonment and I hurt her, he will never recognize me as his granddaughter-in-law again.&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Actually, I was not willing to admit that I hurt Molly Carter.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   But if I didn&#8217;t admit it, I was afraid I would be imprisoned by Sean Jessop all my life.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Sean Jessop&#8217;s big palm held my hand tightly. He stared at me with deep black eyes, saying, &#8220;Don&#8217;t it just let you go?&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Hearing this, I began to sweat.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   I didn&#8217;t want it!   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   I didn&#8217;t want to be a plaything he held in his hand!   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   &#8220;I&#8217;m not going!&#8221; I flung Sean Jessop&#8217;s hand away!   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   I was about to open the door and get out of the car but I heard the man behind me say, &#8220;Guess how long will it take me to close a small company like Universe Design Co. LTD?&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Hearing this, I stopped my hand on the door handle.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   It suddenly dawned on me that Sean Jessop and Daniell Cook were not people of one class at all.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   How could they possibly stand together and talk?   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   The reason Sean Jessop compromised that day was that he wanted to pinch me to death until he destroyed all my life.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   But he knew my weakness.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   I could ignore the orphanage but I couldn&#8217;t ignore Daniell Cook.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   He was an outsider. I couldn&#8217;t drag him down and ruin everything he had worked for.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   I sat back in my seat, lowered my eyes and made up my mind, &#8220;I&#8217;ll go.&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   \u000e\u000e\u000e\u000e\u000e\u000e\u000e\u000e\u000e\u000e\u000e\u000e\u000e\u000e<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sean Jessop squinted at me and said expressionlessly, &#8220;I can rebuild here, and I can destroy it, depending on you.&#8221;   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   I was stunned.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Then the phone rang.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   I looked down and saw Daniell Cook on it.   <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   I looked at the time, it was n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[],"tags":[],"amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/extnovel.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1122"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/extnovel.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/extnovel.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/extnovel.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/extnovel.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1122"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/extnovel.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1122\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/extnovel.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1122"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/extnovel.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1122"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/extnovel.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1122"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
