Jessica's appearance made her look younger. She wore a light yellow shirt that was loose and her skirt had floral patterns for its design. Her skin was fair and smooth. It was obvious that she had it well maintained. If one would take a look at her, they would think that she was around twenty years of age.
It was only the gloomy look on her face that made her scary.
Jessica glanced around her surroundings. She acted like she was looking for someone before settling into a frown. "Helen, where are they?"
"Mr. Shi is at work and Mrs. Shi is upstairs," Helen politely replied.
"Upstairs? What is she doing upstairs?" Jessica had her eyes fixed up on the stairway leading to the second floor.
"Mrs. Shi is currently resting. She is not feeling well," Helen said.
Jessica snorted and rolled her eyes. "She's still young. She should be in good health. Maybe she's just pretending to be sick. John is busy at work every day while she's free to stay at home and do nothing but spend his money."
She had never forgotten what Nina had said at the beginning. Nina wanted all of John's assets.
In Jessica's eyes, Nina was a gold digger and seduced John which explained why her brother was so infatuated with the woman. The news of their marriage had also been recently spreading throughout the whole city.
It took three days before Jessica could calm down. She wanted to ask her father and brother abou
divorce, Vivian would be able to come into the picture and marry her brother. This would make both families closer.
Nina had a blank expression on her face. She looked like she wasn't bothered at all with what Jessica had said. "What's important is that I am his wife right now."
Jessica couldn't help but sneer. "You'll soon realize that you aren't a match for John. The only woman who would be good enough for him is Vivian." Her eyes were glaring like daggers at the woman in front of her. No words could really describe how much she hated Nina at that moment.
Nina remembered something that John had once said. "No matter how good Vivian is, I'm still John's first wife."
Jessica gritted her teeth and breathed heavily. She pointed a finger at Nina. "Why, you..." She was at a loss for words. All she knew at the moment was that she definitely hated Nina even more.
No one dared to talk to her like that. Even John showed respect for her.
Helen was watching the exchange and became worried so she contacted John in secret.
She kept glancing at the entrance every now and then. "Mr. Shi, you're back," she shouted the moment John appeared.
Upon hearing this, Jessica's demeanor instantly changed. The frown on her face disappeared and was replaced by a bright smile. "John, how come you're back so early today?"
Just like that, her earlier expression had quickly changed to the opposite.
