"Not?" Gan Yuan uttered in agony, "Does he want to capture me and take me back?"
"I’ve already said no!" Jessica retorted irritably, "If you want to kill me, just do it. Don’t beat around the bush. This has nothing to do with him, it’s my own idea."
Gan Yuan didn’t believe her, assuming she was protecting Moses. The thought of that man dealing with her in such a manner had already shriveled her heart. Withdrawing the gun muzzle pressed against Jessica’s forehead, she spoke coldly.
"Go back and tell Moses, this is the last time I’ll let it go. If there’s a next time, don’t think I won’t turn heartless!"
Jessica was instantly enraged. How could she be so heartless when Sir treated her that way?
"You..." She stepped forward, closing in on Gan Yuan, "I already told you this has nothing to do with Sir. To tell the truth, I really don’t understand. What does he see in a woman like you? He cares so much about you that he’s willing to risk his life... Today, I’ll kill you!"
As she said the word "kill," she swung her fist again, smashing it towards Gan Yuan’s chest, targeting her vitals with a desperate blow.
Blocking her attack with a raised arm, Gan Yuan kicked out her leg and sent Jessica tumbling to the ground, then aimed down at her face from above.
"This is between me and Moses. If you insist on pushing me, I won’t mind killing you!"
"Do as you please, but you better open your ears and listen carefully. This was my idea today, and it has nothing to do with Sir, nothing. Did you hear me?!" Jessica growled furiously, "I should’ve shot you earlier. Then Sir wouldn’t have to worry about you..."
Thinking of Moses’s illness, Jessica’s heart ached.
"You heartless woman, go on, shoot!"
Gan Yuan did not shoot, but instead bent down to pull her up from the ground and used the tape she had fallen on to bind her hands and feet.
"Now, answer my question. If you dare lie, I will cut your face into pieces slice by slice!"
Jessica glared at her, unresponsive.
The knife’s edge moved across her face, pointing right at her eye, and Gan Yuan’s voice was cold as ice.
"The incident at the square last time, was it Moses’s idea?"
Jessica snorted in response.
Gan Yuan frowned, "Today’s car accident, did he do that too?"
"You!" Jessica seethed with rage, "Are you blind? How could you think that of Sir? If he truly wanted you dead, do you think you’d still be alive right now?"
A woman like her wasn’t worth Sir’s attention.
"He even told me to protect you. I should have made my move earlier..."
Jessica said through clenched teeth, full of regret.
Gan Yuan was taken aback.
"He told you to protect me?"
Jessica snorted again.
She didn’t want to tell Gan Yuan the truth. A woman like her didn’t deserve Sir’s care.
Gan Yuan gave a bitter smile.
She could hardly believe such lies. If Moses truly wanted her protected, why would this girl be holding a gun to her face?
"I’ve always defended him, told Ajue not to hold a grudge against him. I had no idea... Moses, it was really you targeting me!"
Gan Yuan murmured with a voice full of pain.
"Sir must be blind to fall for a woman like you!" Jessica, wild as a madwoman, pushed her away and leaped at her again, "Tonight, even if it kills me, I must kill you. I can’t let him risk his life for someone like you... Die... As long as you’re dead, he can safely return home for treatment..."
