Chapter 358: You Fell on Your Own
Well-dressed and bejeweled, Jana flaunts her tall and slender figure. She looks at Jessie with her
gorgeous eyes and says, "Long time no see, Miss Jessie. Would you like to talk to me?"
"Let go of me!" As Jessie is in a hurry to make a phone call, she doesn't have any time to talk to her. Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
She scolds and tries to shake off her, but Jana holds her arm tightly.
"Miss Jessie, I know you don't want to talk, but I want to talk to you." Jana is annoyed.
As Daisy's shop is in the immediate vicinity, Jessie is afraid that Daisy might see her with Jana. So she
raises her chin towards the exit passageway. After Jana lets go of her, she immediately walks to the
exit.
They walk in the exit passageway.
While Jessie is dialing the phone number of Lily, Jana comes in and closes the door. Then she asks
Jessie, "You came to see me and said that you need my help, right? So why didn't you ask me for help
after giving me the money?"
"It is good to take a sum of money for nothing, isn't it?" Jessie says in an impatient tone. As Lily doesn't
pick up, Jessie is anxious, "What else do you want to talk? If nothing, I'll go first. I'm hurry!"
Jana moves to block her way. "Stop. What if you frame me for fraud and throw me into the prison?"
Jessie says, "Then return the money to me."
"No way."
"Then you keep it. I gave it to you. I promise I won't set you up." Jessie cannot stand it anymore, "I am
in a hurry. Get out of the way!"
Jana still is standing before Jessie, "How can you assure what you said? You might betray me
afterwards."
Jessie is speechless.
Jessie immediately takes out a pen and a piece of paper from her bag. She writes a statement and
signs it to Jana, "Is that all right? I'm really in a hurry to deal with the matter. Just get out of the way! Or
I am not sure what I will do to you."
Jana takes the piece of paper, but she doesn't let her go. Instead, she asks, "You said that you wanted
me to be with Leigh. So when will you arrange an appointment for me and him?"
Jessie is totally irritated, "Holy shit, what you want is over too much. I gave you such an amount of
money. How could you ask me for more?"
"You promised that to me and you gave me the money." "Let me guess. You got hurt when you were
with Leigh, right? So you contacted me and said that you wanted me to be with him. In fact, you want to
take a revenge on him, right?" Jana stares at her and says.
Jessie clenches her fists.
She says calmly, "I am not a fool. I won't waste a considerable amount of money just for taking a
revenge on a man."
"Miss Jessie, women know women best. I've seen some photos before. There was a woman who often
went to the Lewis. I heard from them that it was Leigh's girlfriend who delivered food to him. Though
she was in a mask, I could recognize her. It was you, Miss Jessie." Jana smiles and leans over to look
at her.
"Nonsense! I cannot talk to you more!" Jessie rolls her eyes upwards. Then she knocks her away and
wants to leave.
She calls Lily again, but before she opens the door, she is dragged back.
As Jana is taller, she drags Jessie back. Jana's eyes are filled with jealousy. "You make up with Leigh
and gave up the revenge, right?"
"None of your business." Jessie twitches her arm. "Off me, or I'll call the police!"
It looks like Jana gets the right answer.
Jana looks fierce. She pulls Jessie even with more strength. "Alright, you'd better call Leigh over and
let him see who you are! I recorded what you said in the cafe. What will he think if he hears it?"
Jessie grits her teeth and glares at Jana.
"Miss Jessie, if you stick to your plan and let me stay with Leigh, I'll give you the recording. Otherwise,
I'll give it to Leigh. Have a trade-off." Jana smiles and says.
"There's no need to think."
Jana thinks that she will choose the first plan. Her eyes lights up. But to her surprise, Jessie says, "If
you like it, just give him the recording. You even can give him the record of remittance."
Jessie intends to confess everything to him when they celebrate Leigh's birthday tonight. She keeps
the secret for so long that she feels depressed. She wants to tell it to Leigh.
No matter what he does, she will accept all.
She reckons he might be more lenient, because she is pregnant.
Jana is stunned at the moment. It seems like she never expects that Jessie has nothing to fear.
When Jana pulls herself together, she sees that Jessie is going out. She pulls her again and says, "I
won't let you go!"
"Let go of me!" Jessie scolds.
Jana drags her arm to let her stay while Jessie struggles to leave. They are still in the exit passageway.
Staggering to go out the place, Jessie almost fells.
Seeing that there is a staircase behind Jessie, Jana got an idea. She pushes Jessie down. Jessie, who
has just stood up, tumbled down the stairs.
Jessie is lying on the ground. It is so painful that she is hard to breath.
Jana stands upstairs and watches at Jessie. Jana breaks out into a cold sweat. It has been a long time
before she ran down and said, "Are you alright?"
"You..." Jessie can't say anything. Her hands are trembling as she touches her abdomen.
Jana sees blood flowing out of her hemlines. Jana is so frightened that she almost sits on the stairs
when she steps back. "It is an accident. It is not my fault."
Jessie struggles to say, "Call an ambulance."
Jana makes haste to pick up Jessie's phone. Fortunately, the screen is on, so she quickly dials the
number to call an ambulance.
Just as she is about to make the call, she suddenly stops. She thinks if Jessie is saved, she might put
all the fault on her.
So Jessie cannot be saved!
In her panic, Jana taps the memo on her phone by accident. Looking at the contents, she is shocked.
It is so painful that Jessie gets in sweat. She struggles to grab onto Jana's trousers. "Call an
ambulance ... I will forget everything that has happened today ... Please."
Jana quickly sends the memo to her phone and calls the ambulance. After she puts the phone back to
Jessie's hand, she flees away.
Jessie looks at her phone and she gradually loses her consciousness. But her hand is still on her lower
abdomen.
Please save my baby.

It is really a torment for Leigh to stop himself from calling Jessie. He wants to call her, but afraid that
she might find that he has knew she is pregnant. So he has to control himself.
Leigh finally spends the afternoon in the office. He puts on his coat to leave.
"Mr. Leigh." The secretary stops him and says in a cautious tone, "Mr. Gage invites you to dinner."
"Sorry to him. I'm going home for dinner." Leigh directly refuses. Today is his birthday and he is going
to pick Jessie up. He needs to hear the good news from Jessie. So he says, "Delay it till tomorrow."
The secretary says, "It's about the development project on the Fifth Avenue. Mr. Gage agreed on the
cooperation with us. He said that he could meet you only tonight. He will go to Sweden tomorrow
morning."
Leigh is annoyed and raises his hand to see what time it is. "Is everything settled? Where's the
contract?"
"The contract is ready." The secretary immediately hands the document over. "I'll have someone send
you over..."
Leigh interrupts her, "Where?"
"DM Club, room 1688, about six o'clock."
"I see." After saying that, Leigh goes away.
