Chapter 87: Powerful Woman
While Jessica was remembering her old maid, Lisa said that her mother said she was the kindest and most elegant woman among the women her mother had ever met.
Of course, Lisa was smart enough not to mention Daniel, to avoid evoking the pain in Jessica’s heart.
She knows today is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If she is not tactful, she will not be able to change what is happening.
“Ah, I remember, it turns out Daisy’s daughter has grown up.” Jessica smiled.
“Yes, I just graduated and am working at Unicons Corporation. I am working as an assistant to the deputy general director Venn.” Lisa took the opportunity to introduce her abilities.
“Oh, I remember, that day, I saw you sitting in Kevin’s car in front of the gate of Sunset restaurant. That girl is you, right?”
Lisa nodded to confirm. Her heart felt like it was about to jump out because she didn’t expect that after only meeting her once, Jessica remembered her face.
Before she could calm down, Jessica pulled her into a nearby cafe.
Jessica, like many others, easily recognized the similarities between this girl and Emily and she believed that perhaps her son also saw this.NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.
If possible, she wants Lisa to become the person Kevin pursues, making him completely forget the girl who brought misfortune and sadness to her family.
If Kevin was dating Lisa, she would urge her son to quickly take Lisa to register for marriage and take her home, it would not be too late for the wedding to take place later.
“Are you and Kevin dating? For nearly a week now, he’s been saying he was busy so he had to stay at a hotel overnight and didn’t come home.”
“No. How can I catch the president’s eye? Ah, about a week ago, he and I, Venn and Sara went to the north side of the city and saw Emily working as a waitress in a pub. Then she got injured and Kevin took her to the hospital and didn’t come back to our group.”
Lisa used a very innocent and honest face and tone to tell Jessica.
When she saw the woman’s face gradually become gloomy, she knew she had succeeded.
Daniel has passed away and Kevin’s relatives now only have his parents. Therefore, Lisa is confident that he will not be able to be with Emily if his mother strongly opposes.
In matters at the company, Jessica may not be able to control him, but in matters of love, Lisa thinks his mother can intervene.
However, that is Lisa’s shallow thinking, and Jessica knows her son’s stubbornness in love.
Both Kevin and Daniel were the same and she understood that if that girl did not proactively leave, there was no way to stop them.
She lost Daniel and she absolutely will not let Kevin get entangled in that comet again.
People say no one can bathe in the same river twice, but she understands that if that river were Emily, Kevin would be willing to bathe ten times, even for the rest of his life.
“Oh, ma’am, don’t tell Kevin what I said. I’m afraid he will scold me for being a talkative person.” Lisa pretended to suddenly remember something important and spoke up in panic.
“Don’t worry, only we know about today’s meeting. Oh, please give me your phone number. Sometimes I also need to know about Kevin’s work sidelines. If you know something, please tell me.”
As soon as Jessica finished speaking, Lisa quickly took out her phone and exchanged contact numbers with her. She could feel that Jessica had feelings for her.
Okay, before winning Kevin’s heart, she will take the time to please his mother and father first. Having their support is also a big advantage.
At this time, Matthew had returned to the fashion store, so Jessica also called the waiter to pay and then ran to her husband.
As for Lisa, because she felt her mood had improved, she spent a lot of money to buy more dresses, exceeding the number originally planned.
At exactly six o’clock in the evening, Kevin dragged his suitcase to the car. Jessica and Matthew also followed to the gate to see their son off.
This business trip lasted four days and Jessica decided that during these four days, she had to find a way to meet Emily to cut off the remaining connection between her and Kevin, not giving it a chance to develop.
“Mom and Dad, come in. If you get caught in the dew at night, you will get sick. Shall I go.”
After waving goodbye, Kevin immediately drove the car out of the gate, and soon, the red light behind the car also faded.
Jessica adjusted her coat, looked into the distance, and then decided to go find Emily tonight.
After entering the house with her husband for about half an hour, she lied to her husband and said that some friends had just texted her, inviting her to walk around the city at night and enjoy street snacks.
“Let me take you there.” Matthew quickly stood up.
“Okay, just stay home and rest, let the housekeeper take me there.” She promptly refused.
Receiving orders from Jessica, Mary quickly changed clothes, took the key, ran to the garage, and drove to the main door.
Since replacing the old housekeeper’s position, Mary has always completed her duties and done her job well, so she is loved and trusted by Jessica.
Of course, Mary assumed that she would only listen to Jessica and consider Jessica her master to serve. She needs this job, she doesn’t want to lose it.
“Where will we go?” Mary asked when Jessica had just sat in the car.
“Paradise pub is located in the north of the city.” Jessica answered coldly.
“Yes.”
The car slowly left the gate and drove on the street at a moderate speed. Jessica took a deep breath then sighed, leaned back in the car seat, and closed her eyes.
Mary turned on a song without lyrics and continued driving through the crowded streets. Through the expression on Jessica’s face, Mary knew she was in a very bad mood.
By the time the two of them arrived in front of the Paradise pub, it was almost nine o’clock in the evening.
Jessica told Mary to stay in the car and wait. As for her, she went straight inside and asked the bartender to contact Emily.
“Just tell her that her fiance’s mother wants to meet her.”
“Yes.”
The bartender was made to lose his composure by Jessica’s noble aura, and several dog-blood scenarios suddenly appeared in his mind like in novels.
Kevin has been coming to this pub for a week now, and now his mother is here too, so the bartender can’t help but think a lot.
After making the call to Emily, the bartender turned to ask Jessica to wait a bit because Emily was busy delivering food to the VIP room for customers.
Sitting on a stool and looking around, Jessica couldn’t help but feel disgusted.
In her life, she had never set foot in such entertainment places, just because she wanted to meet Emily, she broke the rules.
She didn’t understand why Emily chose to come here to work when she could apply to other big companies, besides Unicons Group.
Five minutes later, Emily appeared with her face and the back of her shirt soaked in sweat.
She was afraid that Jessica would wait too long, so after asking permission from the manager, she quickly ran here.
“Hello, ma’am.” Emily bowed her head and greeted politely.
“Talk to me for a moment. Can you go out?”
Jessica’s voice was mixed in with the loud music but could be heard clearly when it reached the ears of the person opposite her.
Seeing Emily nod, Jessica stood up and walked towards the door. Emily took a deep breath and quickly followed her.
It was only nine o’clock, and the coffee shop opposite was still operating, so Jessica chose this place.
Inside the car, Mary vaguely guessed what was going on when she saw that the girl following Jessica was Daniel’s wife who had not yet had a wedding.
Under the pale yellow light, in a quiet corner at the end of the cafe, Emily trembled a little as she looked straight into the face of the person sitting across from her.
This woman was the person who almost became her mother-in-law and the same person who coldly prevented her from touching Daniel’s coffin.
These days, she is immersed in Kevin’s gentleness and moderation, forgetting that the biggest barrier between her and him is his mother, not public opinion.
“I won’t say much and won’t waste your time. Emily, do you want Kevin to lose a mother?” Jessica said seriously.
“No, no…” Emily shook her head in fear.
“Good, then cut off your relationship with Kevin. I had a heart attack and thought I was about to die when I found out he secretly came here every night for you. I felt like you were a very understanding person when you proactively stayed away from him, but I didn’t expect you to want to step into this net with him again.”
After saying that, Jessica pulled out a thick envelope from her bag and pushed it towards Emily, asking her to find a more decent job.
After all, Emily was the person Daniel loved deeply until he died. After all, Emily bowed to the family altar as her daughter-in-law, so Jessica did not want Emily to work in that complicated environment.
“If Kevin wants to find you, even if you fly abroad, he can find you. The important thing is whether you want to end the feelings that are still in his heart or not. Emily, your attitude toward Kevin is key. Don’t waste your talent and your years of hard study.”
Emily’s knees were covered in fingernail prints. She has to hurt herself to remind herself not to shed tears at this moment.
It turned out that she still loved him so deeply, so when she heard his mother suggest leaving him, her heart hurt so much that her whole body trembled.
She understood that she was not qualified to use her love to persuade Jessica. She knew she would be ridiculed that this love was not worth it because it could easily be changed and given to both Daniel and his brother.
The truth is that she loves both of them and she can’t control her romantic heart. She hates herself.
Everything around her moved so fast, causing her to fall into Daniel’s arms while still in love with his brother and now vice versa.
“Don’t worry, I will show my attitude clearly to him. As for this money, please take it back. I can take care of it myself.”
“Okay, I believe you.”
After saying that, Jessica took out her wallet, put the money for two glasses of juice on the table, then stood up and leisurely left the cafe and went to her car.
When Emily was alone, she was able to reveal the weak nature of a hurt girl, tears falling freely from her eyes.
Maybe she should leave here. Yes, her attitude will determine her relationship with him, but if someone tells her to suddenly ignore him when she has treated him extremely intimately in the past few days, she cannot do that.
She wanted to avoid him for a while and when she saw him again, she would ignore him.
