Gan Yuan’s pupils narrowed slightly, "Is your mouth injured?"
Jessica raised her eyebrows in confusion, then stretched out her finger to her lip corner and licked it with her tongue. Jessica clearly tasted a hint of blood.
"Ah..." Thinking of how Will’s lips were bitten to the point of cracking and bleeding, Jessica could not help but grin, "This isn’t my blood—it’s that bastard’s!"
But... how did the blood get on her mouth?
Noticing Gan Yuan’s gaze, Jessica cleared her throat.
"It accidentally splashed... Yes, splashed!"
She repeated, laughter escaping her again, only to be followed by clenching her teeth...
Hmph, next time, she certainly would strip him naked and throw him onto the street, letting that guy streak in public.
Observing the changing expressions on her face, Gan Yuan just shook her head. If she didn’t know the two of them were arch-enemies, she really would suspect this girl was falling in love with Will.
The car phone rang, and Jessica reached for the handset. When she heard Moses’s voice on the other end, her demeanor immediately turned serious.
"Okay, just a moment!"
She handed the handset to Gan Yuan and signaled with her hand, knowing it was Moses, Gan Yuan raised her hand to bring the handset to her ear.
On the other end of the phone, Moses was silent for a moment.
"Don’t be anxious, there will always be an opportunity."
Gan Yuan lifted her hand and pulled off the rubber band holding her hair, shaking her locks loose, "Is there something you need?"
"Dolly has already convinced the senior members of the Liberal Party, agreeing to our demands, and you need to come back for a party initiation ceremony," Moses paused, "I can delay it for a few more days for you."
"No need," Gan Yuan glanced out the window, "I’ll be back soon."
"We have already startled the snake this time; he certainly won’t give me another chance. It’s not worth wasting more time here; the campaign is more important."
"Well, okay, I’ll schedule the ceremony for the day after tomorrow, so you don’t have to rush."
"Alright." Gan Yuan hung up the phone and handed the handset back to Jessica, "Arrange the plane. We’re going back as soon as possible."
"Actually..." Jessica turned around, "That child is yours and the Duke’s son; he will definitely take good care of the child. You don’t have to worry too much."
"Yeah." Gan Yuan nodded, "Let the child stay with him for a few days. In a few days, once I’m done with the election matters, I will use legal means to get the child back."
"Right!" Jessica’s eyes lit up, "How could I not have thought of that! The child was born to you, and you have always been the one raising him. You definitely have the right to be his guardian."
Gan Yuan leaned back in her chair, her gaze fixed on the streetscape outside the window, "But, that will have to wait until after my election is successful. Otherwise, with my current status, there’s no way I can compete with him."
One is a female assassin with a dark, criminal background, and the other is a prince of a nation. If they took their dispute to court now, from any angle, Huangfu Jue would have a stronger case.
Jessica nodded in agreement, "This time, the gentleman is determined to win the election. We will surely succeed, and then, you can rightfully claim your son back."
"Actually..." Gan Yuan withdrew her gaze, looking at Jessica, "I’m somewhat puzzled, why would Moses make this decision?"
Jessica shrugged, "To be honest, I’m also curious, but since the gentleman has made such arrangements, he must have his reasons. I don’t care why, as long as I can help him succeed, that’s all that matters."
