Chapter 1782Essa was caught eating the soup by her mom. Essa's mother frowned and slapped Essa on the back of the hand. "You're stealing the soup!""I'm not stealing. I'm just eating my share.""Do you think I cooked it for you?"Essa felt that her mother must have been ensnared by Jazz.Jazz smiled. "Mrs. Reese, let her eat. I'm full anyway. Don't waste the soup.""Then eat up the rest. Otherwise, I have to throw it in the trash can," Essa's mother said to Essa.Essa thought, 'She looks as if she were my stepmother. How can she be so ruthless to her daughter?'Essa's mother went to see Winston. Essa and Jazz were left in the ward.Essa ignored Jazz, sitting by the window, fiddling with her phone. She was busy watching her friends' updates and the news on Twitter.Jazz had been staring at her for half an hour. Finally, he felt bored and said, "Hey, are you angry?"Essa had no time to pay attention to him, looking at the news on Twitter and sliding her finger across her phon

Chapter 1784"You don't believe me, do you?" Jazz raised his eyebrows and looked at her fixedly."Yes. There is no need for you to lie to me. I just think that something like that shouldn't have happened to your family," Essa answered.Jazz curled his lips sarcastically and coldly. "There are many dirty things behind those rich families. The better they look, the more disgusting they are!"Essa was silent. The members of those wealthy families tended to have animosities towards each other."I was brought up by my mother. I rarely met my father. I couldn't see him even once a year. When I was young, I thought my father was great and hardworking, but later I found I was ridiculous. He is simply a revolting humbug!"He had an affair and embezzled public funds. He deserved to go to prison..."Jazz said evenly as if what he said had nothing to do with him."In short, every family has its problems and secrets. No matter what happens in our lives, we have to face it," Essa commented.

Chapter 1786Jazz glanced at Essa in the elevator. "You didn't sleep well last night, did you?"Instantly, Essa gave him an accusing look. "Did you threaten or tempt my mom?""I didn't, but I can roughly guess why you look like this. Since your mom urges you to find a boyfriend, why don't you try to be with me?"There's no downside. Your mother won't nag you anymore, and you'll be served by a handsome man like me. If you still don't like me after dating me for a while, you can end it at any time."Besides, if you are my girlfriend, you can ask me to do some things for you. I can help you return to your original post. What do you think?"That sounded quite appealing. Essa blinked. Jazz was smiling, narrowing his eyes like a fox.If he had a tail behind him, it must be wagging.Yet Essa didn't notice that. She was lured by the bait given by Jazz."I think it's a good offer.""Yeah." Jazz curved his lips slightly. "I think so too. Will you accept it?""Yes. I have no reason to

Chapter 1788"That matter has been explained clearly. Besides, it was a long time ago. We've all forgotten about it. You did a good job. Now, you can return to your post."Essa nodded, saluted the police chief, turned around, and went out of the office.Where there were people, there was gossip.Essa was in a stall in the restroom. She heard some women discussing."Wasn't there a scandal about her? How can she return to the police station?""When I made coffee for the chief in the morning, I heard him calling someone Mr. Valentine on the phone. I remember that her boyfriend is a Valentine.""Yes, yes. Anyway, she has a powerful boyfriend. We can't be compared with her."They spoke loudly, but Essa didn't take it to heart. She had a clear conscience, so she didn't care about gossip.She liked this job and wanted to do her best.Jazz called her. "Have you gone to the police station? Did you report for duty? Are there any difficulties?""Everything is fine. Thank you," she said

Chapter 1791She didn't give up and went to another hotel, but she got the same answer.All those hotels told her that they had no vacancies.Essa frowned. She was embarrassed but could only go back to the original hotel.When she arrived at the room, the three of them were watching TV. They were not surprised to see her and ignored her.Essa smiled awkwardly. She picked up an apple from the plate, washed it, and took a bite. "Mom, I'll sleep on the sofa in your room tonight."Essa's mother didn't respond until a moment later. "No!"Essa was speechless as she heard this, thinking, 'How can Mom say that? Her daughter has no place to stay and is going to wander outside. Why is she so ruthless?'"Are you serious?" Essa asked with disbelief."Do you think I'm joking?"Essa had made up her mind. She would stay here no matter what happened. Even if her mom tried to drive her away, she wouldn't leave.At nine o'clock in the evening, Jazz said good night and went back to his room to
