I knew what it would mean to agree. But when I saw the face of the person in front of her who was no longer young, I couldn’t bear to let my father suffer this prison sentence again, he wouldn’t survive it with his old age. Besides, I had lost too much today and didn’t care about it any more.
~ ~ ~ Christopher POV
In the office of the president of Evans group.
I held a cigarette between my fingers and looked at the document, a faint smell of tobacco filled the environment. Charles dropped a photo in the upper right corner of the document, and the photo showed the familiar face of the girl. Looking at the information, my thoughts drifted away to the last time I saw her.
“Boss, James’ daughter, admitted to the crime", Charles stated.
I didn't expect that, James is really a cunning wolf! That son of a b***h!
I snorted coldly and flicked the cigarette ashes with my fingers. "I'm not surprised, he's a manipulative bastard!" My voice sounded so faint as a wisp of smoke floating in the air.
Charles looked deep in thought for a while and said, “Boss, based on the information I found, I'm afraid Jessica is not James' biological daughter.”
Christopher laughed, “This is the fun part!” I criss crossed my leg, settled well to hear more.
Charles’s handsome face darkened as he stared at me, “Anthony received the secret information we gave him and went to James to show off the problem"
"But I didn’t expect that Anthony would actually die in his office? And this person who was arrested is not James, but Jessica? It’s enough to show that this old fox is really clever”, he fumed.
We all want our revenge on him but it would take time, I glanced at him and said coldly, “Regardless of whether Jessica is James’s biological daughter or not, if he wants to use this trick to escape, James’ calculation is wrong!”
I placed the puro on the ashtray and gently tapped it, putting out the .cigarette
I stood up from the chair, “Charles prepare the car, we are going to the police station!”
“Yes boss”, He grabbed the car keys and left to bring the car around so he wouldn't keep me waiting.
I know I shouldn't interfere in this but I just couldn't picture her all alone in prison, doing jail time for what she didn't do just to please her father. She's too weak to resist his manipulations.
I grabbed my suit jacket from the chair, took the last swing of my tequila, God knows I need it. I walked out of my office and headed to my private elevator and headed down.
The ride to station was smooth and fast, Charles kept glancing at me through the rearview mirror, i know he’s wonderi ng why I’m doing this, typical me won‘t give two f***s but something about her intrigues me.
We were shown into a room and she was brought in. Her long dishevelled hair was tied up, I could see her face clearly. Her bright hazel eyes stared at me in shock with her perfectly arched brows. My eyes trailed her petite but curvy body, the grey prison uniform didn’t do justice to her body but I could still make out her curves, she still looks so beautiful in it. A very clean and refreshing woman’s face, which makes people attracted to her. Though the stubbornness and nobility in her eyes were impossible to ignore.
~ ~ ~Jessica POV
“Who are you?” I asked coldly. He is the same bloody man who almost ran me over earlier today. I trailed my eyes on his perfectly sculpted fitted body, a neatly tailored black suit hugged his muscles, it brought out the man’s elegance, the slightly long brown hair hangs at the corners of his eyes, I suddenly felt like running my hands through it. I got to his head to meet his sharp dark eyes. He squinted his eyes at me, I could see he was also watching me with the same intensity. With a handsome and enchanting charm he has.
“You don’t need to know who I am, you just need to know… I’m here to save you.” he lifted the corners of his crimson lips and there was a cold dark light in his sharp eyes.
I was caught off guard, stunned for a moment. Save me? I didn’t know I was in need of a hero. “Here to save me? What do you mean? Are you the lawyer hired by my dad?”
He looked at me then chuckled lightly, the other guy smirked at me too, “Do you honestly think your father will still hire a lawyer for you now?”
Of course he will, he’s not that heartless, I mean I pleaded guilty on his behalf, he can't just forget me. Or can he? I furrowed my eyebrows deep in thought. I did the right thing, if my father went to jail, our family would be ruined and the company doomed.
“Miss Green, now the opportunity is in front of you” He took out a document from the folder and placed it on the table in front of her.
I made no move to touch it, “Am I supposed to be ecstatic that you wanna help me? You’re literally a stranger. I don't even know your name to start with so how am I supposed to believe you? I crisscrossed my hands, c*****g my head to the side and glared at him. “Or do you think I’ve forgotten you almost ran me over and then threw cash on me before drenching me with water”, I frowned at him.
The guy in a ponytail stifle his laughter but e threw him dagger and he stopped, “I’m Charles and he is Christopher”
How can someone this cruel have a nice name?
“Miss Green, take a look at this, I believe you will be very interested”, he said confidently.
The document was pushed in front of me, I looked at it sceptically, the doubts were visible in my eyes.First of all how did he even know I was here? Is he stalking me? Why does he even want to help me? I grabbed the documents to go through, I'd do almost anything to get out of this hell hole, the sooner the better.
“What on earth is this?” I stared directly at the man’s face.
