All Chapters of The Prison Bride: Chapter 311 - Chapter 320

Jessie scoffed. "You're talking like you actually have a thing for me."Ronny froze for a second as if someone had punched him in the head. Then he quickly blurted, "Don't say stuff like that! If Jack heard you, he'd kill me. We wouldn't even be friends anymore.""If your conscience is clear, you wouldn't even think that way. You keep saying things like that, and honestly, it worries me," Jessie said helplessly.Ronny looked embarrassed. "Okay, okay. I won't say it again.""You're the one who said I'm like your little sister, and that you and Harry would always have my back. But now you're talking like this. Maybe I really should just hire a proper driver." Jessie genuinely saw Ronny and Harry as family even if they weren't related by blood.But ever since Jack left, both of them had started acting distant."Don't! I swear I won't do it again." Ronny immediately admitted his mistake.Jessie didn't press the issue. Instead, she said, "Jack told me he'll be back in three days. He

"I told you. I just want the not-guilty verdict. As for someone like Freddy, he's been living an easy life for too long. Whatever money he gets his hands on, he'll burn through it fast. If he ends up in prison, who knows, maybe he'll even learn a trade there and come out living comfortably again," Jessie said.She truly wanted to watch Freddy's life spiral further and further down.If Freddy really went to prison, he might actually come out a changed man.He always believed he'd done nothing wrong. Jessie thought he deserved to live miserably to the end, to lose everyone around him, and to see others become better than him.To her, that was Freddy's real punishment.Jack sighed softly. "Can't argue with that. Hey, how about we stay on video tonight until we fall asleep?" he asked."I'll keep the phone a little farther away. I don't want it overheating and exploding," Jessie joked."That won't happen," Jack chuckled. "And if it does, I'll call the manufacturer and make them redo

The next morning, Jessie was woken up by a phone call and realized it was already half past nine.Work started at nine.She sat up and ruffled her short hair. With one hand clutching the blanket to her chest, she picked up. "I'll be at the office around ten. Go ahead and revise the meeting notes from yesterday. I'll review them when I get there."She didn't even notice how raspy her voice sounded.The head of the R&D department instantly figured out why she was running late."Got it," he said quickly.After hanging up, Jessie instinctively cleared her throat.When she put her phone down, she saw Jack leaning against the pillow and watching her."I have to get to work. You can come by this afternoon. I'll hand things over to you then."As soon as she finished, she lifted the blanket and reached for her nightgown on the carpet.Jack had overexerted himself last night and was still drowsy.He reached out and looped an arm around her waist. His voice was deep and hoarse. "Can't

Wilson opened the box. It was beautifully made. The chess pieces were carved from black obsidian stones. They didn't hold the same value as jade, but they looked and felt just as good in the hand.The moment Wilson picked up a piece, his fingers itched to start a game. Still, he said, "You two just got off the plane. Rest first. We'll play tomorrow.""We were on his private jet. I'm not tired," Jessie said.Before coming over, Jack had already gone through the hassle of getting the flight path approved.Wilson glanced over at Jack, who was quietly eating apple chips beside him.Wilson had told him not to buy the private jet. The price was outrageous, and the maintenance alone cost as much as a house in a decent neighborhood every year.At least it was used for once."How about a round, then?" Wilson asked. The maid had already set the board on a square table by the window."Sure," Jessie replied."You don't need to set up the pieces yet. Go grab some snacks and put them next t

Jessica didn't seem the least bit frightened by his outburst. Instead, she calmly tried to smooth things over."You've misunderstood me. Shane is Jack's brother. It's the holidays. What's wrong with an older brother dropping by to see his younger brother and his girlfriend? Inviting them to stay for lunch would only be polite.""I'm not polite. So I won't do it. Go back wherever you came from. Don't ruin everyone's appetite," Jack said.Normally, Jack would give Jessica some leeway. She'd never really done anything to cross him, but right now, his opinion of her had changed completely.Jessica kept her smile in place. "Since we're not welcome, we'll take our leave then."Wilson stayed silent.Jessica glanced at Shane and gestured for him to follow her out.Once they were out of the courtyard, she finally spoke. "Did you get a good look at Jessie?"Shane looked puzzled. "Is she that hard to remember?"Jessica smiled. "She does leave quite an impression. Marie might be pretty to
