Chapter 109
Jessica had just returned from a mission overseas and asked Audrey and Elizabeth out for a visit. The three women arranged to have lunch at the JS business district in the city center.
Audrey lived relatively far away. When she arrived, the other two had already arrived.
Because of Elizabeth’s status as the Best Actress, they found a private club and asked for a private room.
“The criminal this time is a little difficult to deal with. He stayed in the deep forest for more than a month. Furthermore, I almost died when I provoked a crazy,” Jessica complained.
“What kind of person can nearly kill you?” Elizabeth looked at Jessica and asked curiously.
After all, Jessica dealt with the most dangerous and intelligent people in the world. There were not many people who could nearly kill her.
“God knows. I’d better not meet that person again,” Jessica said angrily.
After that, Jessica glanced at Audrey and smiled teasingly. “What’s up with you? You’ve been a little popular recently.”
“It’s alright,” Audrey said nonchalantly, “How much do you know about the Nightshade Alliance?”
Hearing the Nightshade Alliance, Jessica and Elizabeth looked at Audrey in unison.
“Did you offend someone from the Nightshade Alliance?” Elizabeth asked with a serious expression.
“I don’t know, but they are hunting me down.” Audrey’s face remained cold and indifferent. Even when she said the word ‘hunt‘, she was still nonchalant.
Jessica frowned. Her tone was rather solemn. “I heard the leader of Nightshade Alliance is mysterious and powerful. He’s not easy to deal with. You’d better be careful.”
The three women chatted casually as they finished their meal. After that, Jessica wanted to buy a gift for her nominal mother–in–law as a birthday present.
Coincidentally, the shopping mall was right next to the club, so Audrey and Elizabeth accompanied Jessica there.
Jessica had her eyes on a bag. It was the brand that Nathan’s mother would like. “Please wrap this bag for me.”
When Jessica finished speaking, a sweet voice came from behind. “Nathan, look at this bag. Is it the one your mother likes?” The owner of the voice had already taken the bag and looked at it happily.
“Yes, it’s the one Mom likes. Carly, you are so thoughtful. Mom will be very happy with the gift you gave her.” Nathan looked at Carly gently.
“Well, the most important thing is that your mother is happy.” Carly smiled shyly. Then, she looked at the saleslady beside them and said, “Please wrap it up for me.”
“Sorry, Miss. This bag you has already been booked in advance. Why don’t you look at another style?” the saleslady said politely.
Carly frowned and bit her lip. She turned and saw Jessica standing there calmly.
“Jessica, why are you here?” Carly was a little surprised. Then, she let go of Nathan’s hand and explained anxiously, “Jessica, don’t misunderstand. I–I just happened to meet Nathan. I know his mother would be celebrating her birthday, so I accompanied him to buy a birthday gift for her. Don’t misunderstand.”
Carly looked at Jessica with an aggrieved expression. Her big eyes with exquisite makeup were watery, looking as though she was about to cry. It made people feel pity for Carly, as if Jessica had bullied her.
Nathan did not expect Jessica to be there either. He frowned and said unhappily, “Jessica, can’t you see that Carly is talking to you? Do you have any manners?”
Jessica’s expression was cold. She frowned and glanced at Nathan and Carly. Then, she looked at the saleslady. “Please pack the bag. I’m in a hurry.”
Jessica could not be bothered to talk to these two retards.
“Jessica, you’ve also taken a fancy to this bag. But Nathan and I also like it. We plan to give it to his mom as a birthday gift. Can you give us the bag?” Carly looked at Jessica and said carefully and aggrievedly, “Besides, Jessica, this bag is a little expensive. You definitely can’t afford it with your 700 dollars monthly salary.”
Carly looked at Jessica smugly. With Jessica’s salary of 700 dollars a month, there was no way she could afford the bag that cost several thousand dollars.
Jessica suddenly smiled and looked at Carly and Nathan. “What? You’re not satisfied with stealing my husband, you also want to steal the bag?”
Carly’s expression changed. She explained with an aggrieved expression, “Jessica, how can you misunderstand me? There’s really nothing between me and Nathan.”
Nathan’s expression darkened. “Jessica, are you done fooling around? Did you hear what you just said?”
Jessica looked at the crying Carly and the retarded Nathan. She frowned and said to the saleslady, “Please hurry up. I’ll be paying by card.”
“Jessica, didn’t you hear Carly say we are going to buy this bag for Mom? Can you be sensible?” Nathan frowned and said coldly.
“That’s right, Jessica. Nathan’s mother usually treats you so well. Let us have the bag,” Carly added.
“Tsk. It’s so hard on you to have to deal with such a stupid husband and a shameless bitch.” Elizabeth looked at Nathan and Carly with disdain.
Audrey’s cold gaze swept across the couple who were putting on an act before she retracted her gaze.
The next second, Audrey narrowed her eyes and turned abruptly. She looked across the road through the glass door and saw a black car parked there. The windows of the black car had been specially modified, so no one could see who was inside.
Audrey’s gaze was cold and sharp. “You two can leave first later. They might be coming for me.”
Elizabeth and Jessica also saw the car on the other side of the road and frowned. “Can you handle it?”
“I’m sure,” Audrey replied.NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.
“Be careful then,” they said..
*****In a black car not far away, the assistant looked respectfully at the man sitting in the back seat. “Sir, we seem to have been discovered by Ms. Hernandez.”
“Jessica, why are you here?” Carly was a little surprised. Then, she let go of Nathan’s hand and explained anxiously, “Jessica, don’t misunderstand. I–I just happened to meet Nathan. I know his mother would be celebrating her birthday, so I accompanied him to buy a birthday gift for her. Don’t misunderstand.”

***In a black car not far away, the assistant looked respectfully at the man sitting in the back seat. “Sir, we seem to have been discovered by Ms. Hernandez.”
In the back seat, a man in a dark blue suit said gently, “Okay. Make a call. See what they are buying. Waive the bill.”
The man’s black eyes looked into the mall and landed on Audrey. It was too far away, so he could only see the rough outline of Audrey.**
After a while, the store manager, who received instructions from the boss on the phone, came over personally with trembling hands and packed the bag respectfully. He returned the card to Jessica.
Jessica thought the manager had swiped her card, so she put it away.
The store manager took out three more VVIP black gold cards and respectfully gave them to Audrey, Elizabeth, and Jessica. “The payment for this bag has been waived. These three black gold cards are a gift from our shop to you three ladies. In the future, all your expenses in our shop will be free.”
