Chapter 42 Threats
Chapter 42 Threats
It seemed that she couldn't go back to the pass.
Jessica sighed and she had a look at the clock. When she saw that it was already 11. 25, her heart beat so fast.
His father sent her dozens of messages but Jessica didn't know what to do.
Should she steal the design drawings?
Suddenly, her phone vibrated again, and she got another message.
"What are you doing? I am waiting for you so anxiously but you just ignore me! Fine, Because you are heartless, don't blame me for my disloyalty."This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
Then she got a MMS.
Her face turned pale when she saw that her son's mouth was stuck by a white cloth...
Jason was carrying his school bag went back to the old building sadly.
He stood downstairs and looked up at the small house that he had been living with his mother and grandma for a long time.
Suddenly, he was feeling sad but excited. He thought of his mom's smile and he missed her so much.
He grinned brightly then he rushed upstairs to his home.
When he arrived home, he found the door wasn't closed.
Jason was scared by he was about to shouted out that he was back.
"Bastard! See, this is the daughter that you raised! She just fooled around all the time with those wild men. Now, she has such a wild kids! Since she ignored me, I would do something bad to her."
"Henry, calm down. Jessica must be figuring out the way to get the drawings. Just give her some time. OK? Don't hurt Jason, he is innocent."
Jason frowned when he heard his grandma's voice.
Why grandma said don't hurt him? He was here safely.
Jason was confused and then he walked to the door quietly and peeked inside the room from the crack.
Then he saw the man who was snapping at his grandma.
"Who was he? He looked so fierce." He thought in mind.
"Martha, you say you love me! I treat you not bad these years! If I didn't save you out, you would be sold to the remote countryside to be other man's wife! Now, you don't care whether I am alive o dead just because of your daughter!" Henry was in a rage.
Martha was sobbing and she almost knelt down in front of Henry. "No, no, Henry. I know you saved me! I would never betray you... But the kid is innocent; you can tie me up and just let Jason go..."
"Fuck off. Don't block me."
Henry kicked Martha fiercely and she hit the wall because of his kick.
Jason hid at the door and he was so scared.
Then he saw clearly that the boy who was tied up on the chair with a white cloth stuck in his mouth was Matthew!
Jason was in a great shock with his eye wide open.
He had seen the photo of Matthew for many times in the house of the Carters. Since they looked exactly the same, he could recognize that the boy who was tied up on the chair was Matthew.
Why Matthew was at his home?
"Henry, I beg you..." Martha knelt on the ground and cried out.
Jason clenched his fists tightly and he was so anxious and worried. Suddenly, there was an idea coming to his mind...
In the Meeting Room.
Jessica was holding her cell phone tightly and her fingers were trembling. What her dad did made one boil with anger.
She was gazing at her son's photo on the screen and she felt that even though he was tied up but he was still composed. His eyes were bright and tough seemed like telling her that, "Mom, I am OK. Don't worry about me..."
Jason...
Jessica's tears almost welled up in his eyes.
She wouldn't let his son get hurt!
"Well, Mr Carter. About the design of the construction of 'Shine Project', we prefer North American style..." A manger was still reporting to Louis. Jessica was anxious and she bent over and sneaked out of the room along the wall.
As soon as she ran out of the meeting room, she called Henry.
Henry picked up the phone and said rudely, "you, unfilial daughter! Now you know call me back!"
"What did you do to my son." She said in a cold voice but she was so worried about Jason.
"Take it easy. I am not that inhuman. The kid is safe for now. But I can't assure you that he will be safe in the future..."
Henry said in a gloomy voice which scared Jessica so much!
How ridiculous they were! Jessica sneered and said, "I will send you the drawings right away! Don't hurt my son!"
"Great, I am waiting."
She hanged up the phone and took a deep breath. Then she straightened her back and pretended to be composed and then walked towards the office.
Jason went downstairs and he was scared to death.
He kept recalling the face when his grandma was crying and Matthew was helpless in his mind.
He must figure a way to save them since his mom wasn't there.
Jason ran to a news stand and told the boss of the news stand breathlessly, "uncle, there is a bad guy in my home, can I borrow your phone and call the police?"
"Is that true? I will help you call the police..."
In the office of Louis.
It was deadly quiet.
Jessica sat in front of Louis's computer and her hands kept sweating.
She had typed the passwords for the ninth times.
But they were all wrong!
"What the hell! Why he set such a complicate password!" Jessica gnashed her teeth and roared in a lower voice. She had a peek at the clock on the wall, and now it was 11. 55, and there would be the meal time in five minutes.
Her heart was pounding faster and faster since she was running out of time!
Jessica closed her eyes and took a deep breath and tried to figure out the password...
Suddenly the name of Brenda White came into her mind.
She typed the name subconsciously.
Then she heard the music when the computer was switched on.
"Yes!"
She couldn't' help cheering but she felt a bit upset.
She realized that Brenda White must be a person who meant a lot to Louis...
Downstairs Jessica's home.
A police car raced along with its sirens wailing which startled all the neighbors here.
Henry who was drinking tea in the house was suddenly scared and nervous when he heard the sound of the police car. "What's going on?" Martha was puzzled and she was rubbing her waist which was kicked by Henry and shook, "Maybe the police car just passed by..." Henry was so sensitive to the sound of the police car since he was just released from the jail. "Go downstairs and have a look."
"OK." Martha answered and nodded. Then she went downstairs.
Jessica's hands were trembling and she was gasping.
She didn't understand the drawings in Lou's computer at all!
And she just copied the drawings related to the "Shine Protect" hurriedly to her phone...
She kept sweating.
Suddenly, she heard the footsteps outside the door.
And she was freak out.
Jessica cut off the computer hurriedly...
The door opened all of a sudden.
She was nervous when she saw Louis's poker face.
"What are you doing?" Louis lifted his eyebrows and asked.
He glanced at the beads of sweat on her forehead and he knew that she was hiding something.
Louis already noticed that something was wrong with her in the meeting room. And he knew that her face was so pale when she was staring at the
phone.
"No, nothing..." Jessica couldn't help trembling.
But she didn't pull out her SIM card from the computer...
Louis was walking over to her slowly.
He was the man who could always be that perfect.
He was like a god who was a very short distance away but he was unapproachable...
Jessica's heart was pounding so fast but she had to admit that the man was just like a ma which she was always attracted by him.
"Nothing?" Louis squinted, and walked to the table next to her. And then he looked down on her and chimed, "Nothing happened? Or, there is something you want in my computer?"
Though he sounded peacefully, it was offensively and maliciously actually.
Jessica was nervous.
She might not have a talent in being a theft so that she was caught at the first time she did that.
"Why? Are you mute?" Louis looked gloomy.
His eyes were very dark and overcast.
Louis got closer and closer to her.
Jessica could feel that her heart was going to jump out.
She looked up at his hollow eyes and she didn't have time to think about that, then at the nick of the time, she pulled out her card from the computer
and stood up then kissed him on his lips.
When her lips touched his, Jessica's heart palpitated.
With her eyes closed, she didn't dare to look at his face.
She was holding him and kissing him while she put the card back to her pocket.
Louis eyebrows furrowed and he knew that there were some problems with her, but when he was kissed by her, his desire for her was arisen.
The buttons of Jessica's shirt was pulled off.
Jessica was in a great shock.
"No..." She opened her eyes suddenly and pushed him away then staggered back to the corner of the table.
Though it was just a kiss, her face was blushed and she was gasping.
Louis straightened his back slowly and adjusted his tie and peeked at her and said, "Don't lure me if you can't afford it."
Lure...
When she heard that word, her eyes were wide open.
So, in his eyes, she was just a woman who lured him.
Jessica sneered and felt disappointed, "I don't expect that you are so easy to be lured. Does that mean at least I am charming?"
Louis sneered and adjusted his suit and gave her a deep look, "At the day that you climb on my bed and have sex with me, I will ask you a question."
He left the office as soon as he finished his word. He frowned and strove out of the office.
Jessica felt her heart was filled with coldness.
