In the Lap of Luxury

Chapter 619 What Happened Back Then

"As the end of the year approaches, major corporations have disclosed their financial reports for the year.

Among them, the data from Amirate Corporation is particularly remarkable.

"We can see that several projects collaborated on by Amirate Corporation have brought them tremendous profits, exceeding their previous year's profit by 40%. Now, let's take a look..."

In a dim room, Jessica curled up on a damp and cold sofa, drinking wine one gulp after another. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

As she glanced at the TV, she suddenly threw the bottle in her hand fiercely, smashing the screen.

The host's face became distorted at once.

"You bitch!" Jessica gasped heavily.

Suddenly, the door was pushed open. Faced with the strong smell of alcohol, the person instinctively covered their nose.

With steady steps, they walked over to her and picked up the fallen bottle from the floor.

"No matter what, you're the only daughter of the Quine family out here. Mr. Quine Senior would be heartbroken to see that you've fallen into such a state."

Jessica raised her eyes abruptly. "Quit the acting, Benjamin. You play a part in my current state!"

He put the bottle down. "I gave you a chance to start over. You didn't cherish it."

Jessica sneered, stumbling to her feet and walking up to him.

"From the start, I came back to seek revenge on Grace. She ruined my whole family.

"What's wrong with me seeking revenge on her? Why are you all protecting her?"

"And now?" Benjamin stepped back with disgust.

"You've done everything, but she's still alive and well. I told you, Danielle. You're not her match."

"No, I can definitely take her if she's alone." Jessica raised her finger. "It's all because there are too many people around her."

"Enough! Even now, you're still not waking up. Samuel has been arrested. He has nothing left. If he rats you out, do you think you can leave Pamore?"

At his words, Jessica laughed.

"That's right. That's why I called you, and you're here. Don't forget. You were involved in all of this. Grace won't forgive you."

The enchanting Jessica chuckled eerily.

Benjamin stared at her with a heavy expression. "What are your conditions?"

"Give me some money and help me get out of Pamore. As long as I leave here, I still have a chance to start over."

"A fugitive?" Benjamin rubbed his forehead. "You think too highly of me. I can't escort a fugitive out of Pamore."

Jessica frowned. "Are you kidding me?"

"I can give you money, but I can't help you with anything else. You can go ahead and expose me."

Benjamin's tone was calm, and they sounded genuinely helpless.

Suddenly, Jessica sobered up, revealing panic.

At this moment, Benjamin spoke. "Alexander is back. Do you know that?"

Jessica was shocked. "What did you say? He's back?"

"You two went through thick and thin together. You can go find him. Maybe he'll help you."

However, Jessica covered her chest and stepped back. "No, I can't let him know where I am. If he finds out, he'll arrest me!"

Seeing her so panicked, Benjamin squinted his eyes.

"You're afraid of him. What really happened back then?"

All he knew was that Alexander and Danielle were in the same car back then, and they had a car accident.

The two flipped off a bridge. The rescue team searched for three months but couldn't find anything.

Over time, everyone assumed they were dead.

That car accident became an unsolved case, sealed by the police.
