It'll Come Naturally
Chapter 1442 What Jessica Ended Up With (Part Three)

"What are you going to do?" Jessica felt a sudden rush of panic, as Luke walked towards her. That was typical of Jessica: she only had the nerve to bully someone who was vulnerable. But once they began standing up for themselves, she would cower back almost at once.

"Don't worry," assured Luke mockingly, "You're too vulgar to be my taste." Suddenly, Luke slapped Jessica across the face. He had worn the glove to prevent his hands from touching her. Luke took it off, and flung it on the ground to humiliate Jessica further. Hearing what Luke said, one of his men's mouth twitched. Edward would have been furious if he was present and heard Luke accuse Jessica of being vulgar. After all, she was still once Edward's taste.

Kevin took care of the case personally, and made sure Jessica spent the rest of her life in prison. After all, no one wanted such a dangerous person out in the open. Kevin's priority was to protect his loved ones. It was the first time he made use of his job to deal with personal matters. Jessica was indeed a special case. She deserved everything she got in the end, trying to murder Leena. Even though she failed, it was still attempted murder. The police would never go easy on her even if Kevin didn't involve himself. The next day, Dorothy called Leena. She wanted to apologize to her.

"Mrs. Gu, I'm so sorry for what I did to you," she apologized. Being told that Jessica was caught, Dorothy began to worry about her video being exposed to the public, and so she confessed everything to Edward. Even though she did get involved once in the murder, fortunately, she didn't hurt anyone. Besides, she was a signed entertainer of FX International Group now. It would do the company no good if her career was ruined. So Edward went easy on her, warning her to be more careful after getting her video back.

"It's okay. You should call the police the next time something like this happens again. In that case, you won't be threatened by someone," Leena knew Dorothy was up to something when she took the initiative to approach her. But Leena didn't expect that she was simply a poor girl who was being controlled by someone vicious.

"I'm so sorry!" She looked remorseful. "As you know, for us entertainers, any scandal, no matter how small, would ruin our career. So I panicked when she came to me. I didn't have any other choice but to obey her first. I didn't mean to hurt you. And I'm so sorry for what I did to Major General Gu. I really didn't mean it. I was just threatened by her!" Dorothy was shaken by the mere memory of it all. If Jessica hadn't made the first move to deal with Leena, then the one in trouble now could have been her.

"Luckily I didn't give you any chance to hurt me. But since you're done apologizing, I guess we're done here. But I'd like to give you an advice: Be more careful next time, especially since you're an entertainer. There are so many people waiting for your scandals to get out." As a fashion designer, Leena always worked with models and entertainers. She was familiar with how things worked around them. Everyone in the fashion industry was eager to step over others, clawing their way to the top. It didn't matter if they hurt someone along the way.

"Thank you for your advice. But can I ask you a question? Did you know that I was up to something when I first approached you?" Dorothy wondered how Leena saw through her act as she made sure her every move was perfect.

"Yes, I did. Sometimes, being perfect is the biggest flaw. I began to suspect that you were plotting something as you always appeared just in time. Pretending to be kind isn't enough, because your true color will always reveal itself in the long run. Being sincere is the only way to make true friends." Leena took a sip of her coffee. She was more mature deep inside than most of her peers, and what she said just proved it.

"Oh, that's it. I thought you were being jealous," Dorothy chuckled in embarrassment. Even though she was attracted to Kevin, Dorothy knew that he was way out of her league.

"No, that's not true. I know Kevin. He's not that kind of man who enjoys flirting with girls. So no matter what I'm told, I would definitely defend him." How typical of Leena. She had always had complete faith in her husband. But it seemed that she wasn't so good at opening up about everything, as she left without saying goodbye.

After Dorothy left, Leena went to the hospital. Even though it seemed that the Chinese medicine she took didn't work, Leena wanted to try one more time.

"Leena, what brings you here?" Tom asked, surprised to see Leena as he had already told her it wasn't necessary to come again. Because of her situation, he had to make up a new prescription. So Leena didn't need to take any medicine recently.

"Tom, could you please give me my new prescription? So I could get the medicine I need when I get out of the country," Leena asked, pretending to be casual. She avoided Tom's eyes in case he would see how much she wanted a child.

"I haven't worked it out yet. But when did you become so mature? Now you're asking about taking medicine?" Tom frequently worked on finding how to improve Leena's health during his spare time. But being a busy person, he kept being distracted by other patients and hadn't been able to finish it yet.

"What are you saying? I'm mature all the time!" Leena pouted, playing with his stethoscope.

"I've always seen you as a little girl. You're like a little sister to me," Tom teased. He had been told about what Leena had gone through these past few days. It was a relief to see that she wasn't hurt. Otherwise, there was nothing he could do.

"Hmpf! Can't you just take me seriously for once?" Leena frowned, giving him a stern look. Even though she still looked like a young girl, Leena had become pretty mature deep inside after going through a lot of things. Her young appearance just made it easy to conceal everything.000000000000
