A Flash Marriage Can Be A Treasure

Chapter 385: Drive a Wedge

After Jessie finds that there is something wrong with her food, she knocks on the door for a few times.

She wants to ask the servant to bring her something else, but nobody responds to her request.

After a while, she gives up eating at all. She takes the medicine with the warm water she gets from the

tap in the bathroom, and wraps her body in the blanket to keep herself warm.

She feels sleepy and dizzy. And because she has skipped meals, she has lost so much weight that she

is almost out of shape. She just stays in bed all day, trying not to use up her energy.

After a few days, her fever is gone, and she has finally gone through the horrible days.

Jessie feels much better after the fever is gone. She sits by the door to wait for the servant.

When the servant opens the door to deliver the food, she grabs the servant by her arm and shows her

a note written by her on a notebook, "Why did you guys give me expired food? Are you guys trying to

kill me?"

The servant is startled and hurriedly waves her hands, "I'm just following Mr. Leigh's order. I have also

called Mr. Leigh to tell him about your fever. He said this food is all you can get. Take it or leave it. In

any case, you will not be allowed to leave this bedroom."

In fact, the servant is just saying what Jana has taught her to say.

Jessie can still remember that Leigh once had the amount of her food halved to prevent her from

escaping. He has also said that if she dares to run, he will break her legs. Punishing her by giving her

expired food, it is not impossible.

Her eyes dulled, she writes on the notebook with her pen, "Can I borrow your phone for three

minutes?"

The servant wants to refuse, but Jessie puts a diamond ring in her hand and writes, "I'm just worried

about a friend. I want to text her to see if she's okay. Just for three minutes. I'll delete the text after I

send it, so no one will know you lend me your phone if you keep quiet. You can keep this diamond

ring."

The diamond looks big, weighing at least three carats.

Tempted by the benefit, the servant sneaks her phone to Jessie in a flurry, "Just for three minutes. Miss

Jessie, please make it as quick as possible."

Jessie mouths a thank-you to her.

After getting the phone, she texts Lily very quickly, "Lily, this is Jessie. I was busy before, so I didn't

answer the phone. I'm so sorry. I called you so frequently because I want to tell you that Chloe might

have gone to Country F to look for you."

Ten seconds later, Lily calls back.

Jessie cannot speak, so she hangs up the phone and texts Lily back, "I'm very busy here. It's not so

convenient for me to pick up the phone."

Lily texts, "What's wrong? Busy with Lewis Group's business?"

Jessie texts, "Well yes. Leigh is also kind of anxious. I've been staying by his side. Why did you go to

Country Y with John? Did Chloe go to find you?"

Lily texts, "I have to take care of something here, so I need to stay in Country Y for a while. I'll let you

know when I'm back. How are your babies? Is Leigh giving you all enough care?"

Jessie almost cannot hold back her tears.

She has lost her babies a long time ago, and she has broken up with Leigh. Everything is a mess now.

Jessie knows that Lily already has a lot to worry about, so she doesn't want her to worry about her. She

replies, "If he doesn't treat me and my babies well, I'm going to leave him!"

Lily texts, "Don't. How can we bear it, if he comes to bother us? By the way, I'm pregnant, too."

Jessie is stunned for a moment. Then, she smiles joyfully and wants to text a reply. However, the

servant snatches the phone back and says, "Miss Jessie, your three minutes are up. I'll have to change

shift now."

The servant closes the door pitilessly after saying that.

Jessie does not ask the servant to come back again. Now that she knows nothing bad has happened to

Lily, she feels completely relieved.

The servant tells Jana everything Jessie has said, but she skips the part where she lent Jessie her

phone.

Jana doesn't want Leigh to blame her after he comes back if something bad really happens to Jessie,

so she asks the servant to prepare some normal food for Jessie. But the food only includes just

vegetables and rice, and not something more nutritious.

A few days later, when Jana asks a manicurist to her place to manicure her fingernails, she gets bored

and discovers that Leigh has returned from abroad from a post on WeChat Moments.

Jana then sounds Leigh out carefully on WeChat.

Unexpectedly, Leigh replies that he will be there in the evening.

Seeing that Leigh has shown interest in her again, Jana asks the servants to prepare dinner, "Leigh is

coming over tonight. Cook something delicious for dinner! Hurry up!"

She then calls for the servant who is responsible for watching Jessie, "How is she doing? Can she

speak now?"

The servant shakes her head, "Miss Jessie looks energetic, but there seems to be something wrong

with her vocal cords. She has not spoken anything for a long time. She always writes on a notebook to

communicate with me."

"Good. Keep watching her closely. Don't let her out." Jana takes out a stack of money from her purse

and gives it to her, "Do what I say, and I won't forget to give you your share." Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.

"Thank you, Miss Jana!" The servant immediately takes over the money contentedly.

When the servant is putting the money into her pocket, she accidentally takes out the diamond ring.

And the diamond ring rolls to Jana's feet.

Before the servant can reach out for it, Jana picks it up first.

"What a big diamond!" Jana's eyes are filled with surprise when she sees the diamond ring.

Compared to this shiny diamond ring, the tiny diamond ring on her own finger is overshadowed.

"Miss ... Miss Jana, that's mine."

Jana looks at the servant and says with disdain, "You stole it somewhere, didn't you? If you have a big

diamond ring like this, why would you come here to be a servant and listen to me?"

The servant's forehead becomes sweaty as she stutters, "I ... I found it on the floor."

"This ring is worth at least a million. If someone really lost it, they would have gone to file a report long

ago." Jana doesn't miss the guilty look on the servant's face and raises her voice, "If you don't tell me

where you got it, I'll call the police!"

"No, please don't!" The servant is afraid that Jana may really call the police, so she has to tell Jana the

truth, "Miss Jessie has borrowed my phone, and to return the favor she gave me this ring."

Jana immediately stands up from the sofa and says anxiously, "And you gave her your phone? Did she

contact Leigh?"

"I don't think so."

Jana is then calm again. She believes that the servant has told the truth. If Jessie has really contacted

Leigh and told him something, Leigh would have come back here a long time ago to sort everything out

with her.

The drug she has bought can only mute Jessie for a few months. She can stop Leigh from going to the

third floor once or twice, but Leigh also has a temper. It is impossible to keep him away from the third

floor forever, and it is also impossible for her to kill Jessie.

She thinks she would better think about how to make Leigh hate Jessie even more and make him kick

Jessie out.

Looking at the shiny ring in her hand, Jana suddenly has a brilliant idea.

When Leigh is back home in the evening, he sees Jana scolding a servant. He frowns and says, "What

the heck are you doing? I didn't hire servants for you to bawl out at them!"

"Mr. Leigh, you're back!" Jana runs to him and says resentfully, "I didn't want to scold her at all. It's just

she went against your orders and lent her phone to Miss Jessie!"

Leigh's face immediately clouds over.

Jana then quickly gives the diamond ring to him, "Miss Jessie has borrowed the servant's phone for

three minutes to text a friend. She gave the ring to the servant in return. I happened to find it out."

"Mr. Leigh, I think Miss Jessie can simply borrow your phone when you're back, if she needs a phone

to do something important. But she has used such a huge diamond ring in exchange for borrowing the

servant's phone for three minutes. How wasteful!"

Leigh takes over the diamond ring from her hand, as anger smoulders in his eyes.

This is the engagement ring he gave Jessie.

What a woman! She could trade something he gave her so readily for just borrowing a phone for a few

minutes. She doesn't care at all! Just like how she has never cared about those two babies!
