All Chapters of The Prison Bride: Chapter 331 - Chapter 340

Jessie sat down and let Wilson make the first move.Wilson wasn't in a hurry. He held a chess piece in his hand and hesitated for a moment before speaking. "Marie told me she'd asked to meet you. I know things between you and Jack are over. I just want to apologize on his behalf. Sorry."Jessie thought to herself that what Wilson meant was that Jack really had used her."Can't he apologize to me in person?" Jessie asked."It's not like that. I've tried asking him about what happened, but he wouldn't say a word. If you think I shouldn't talk about this, we can talk about something else. I just feel a little lost." He finally placed the chess piece down on the board.Jessie looked at him in surprise. "Even at your age, you still feel lost?""You've probably heard that my daughter's marriage was miserable. She got depressed and committed suicide in the end. My wife couldn't bear the grief of losing her only child, and she passed away soon after. Ivan destroyed my family. I still don

Jessie stopped where she was.Jack walked up to her and studied her expression. "Your hair has grown long."As he said that, he tucked the gardenia behind her ear.Jessie removed the gardenia and plucked a petal off. "I heard you found Mia." It sounded like she was speaking to a stranger."It's not that easy." Jack's tone was affectionate as usual. He watched her crush the petals."Once she's convicted, get them to tell me. That's all. I'm leaving. Tell Mr. Bailey I said hello." With that, Jessie turned around and tossed what remained of the gardenia into the bush nearby.Jack stepped forward and grabbed her by the wrist."Jessie, why don't we have a meal before you leave?" Jack looked hopeful."I'll cook on my own," Jessie said indifferently."Grandpa hasn't reached out to you lately. Haven't you realized?" Jack asked.Jessie looked up. "Is he alright?"She noticed tears in Jack's eyes."Pay him a visit." Jack had wanted to see her later, but Wilson didn't have much time l

Jessie looked down and said calmly, "It's fine."Jack pulled her aside by the arm. "Once this is all over, I'll explain everything. If you choose to forgive me, this won't be a fake wedding. If you don't forgive me, just think of it as fulfilling Grandpa's wish, alright?""Can't you explain now?" Jessie asked.Jack looked into her eyes affectionately. "It won't work well if I explain now."Jessie frowned. She seemed reluctant. "If you don't explain, how can I play along?"Jack leaned forward with his face close to hers. "While we've been apart, I've thought about losing you countless times. It felt awful. Although we're doing this for Grandpa on the most part, I can't say there isn't an element of my own wishful thinking in it.""Have you sorted things out with the Gerome family?" Jessie asked."I've given them a huge blow. It'll take them a long time to recover. Jessie, life is unpredictable. If I have to wait for things to fall perfectly in place before I marry you, that might

"Okay. I'm heading inside." Jessie pulled away.Jack sighed softly.He watched her drag her suitcase through the bustling campus crowd, and only when she disappeared from sight did he finally turn the car around and drive off.When Jessie arrived at the dorm, she found it completely different from what she had imagined. It was bright and spacious, with a desk under each bed.The place had everything from air conditioning, a washing machine, and all the basics."Looks like our dorm's finally full! I'm Lucy Bradford. What's your name?" As soon as Jessie walked in, a girl putting on makeup at her desk asked in a cheerful tone.Jessie looked over.She had the kind of look that made people feel instantly at ease."I'm Jessie," she replied."I'm Rachel Graham," another girl with short hair said. She looked cool.A petite girl who was cleaning up her bed said, "I'm Shirley Smith.""Nice names all around," Lucy said. "I grew up overseas. My grades from elementary through high school

Besides, Jessie hadn't even noticed that Lucy had gone through plastic surgery. It was completely unnoticeable."Even regulars at plastic surgery clinics can be hard to tell apart sometimes. But honestly, I just don't like her. She talks too much, and it always feels like she's trying too hard to get close to everyone. It's kind of annoying." Shirley went on.Jessie quietly slipped out of the dorm.She wandered around until it got dark. Only when she saw Lucy and Rachel coming back did she follow them in.Harmony was just an illusion.Still, even if she didn't like someone, Jessie wasn't the type to show it.Shirley's sudden change in attitude did surprise her though.The moment she got back, her phone started ringing. It was a video call from Jack."Is your family calling?" Lucy asked immediately.If it hadn't been for what Shirley said earlier, Jessie probably wouldn't have thought much of the question.But now, she suddenly felt wary."No," Jessie replied. She was unsure
