Chapter 74
It had been long time, but Jessica still felt a lingering fear.
If she hadn’t changed her flight, would Chris already be dead?
If someone had broken by force, she might not have even seen Chris’s body.
Later, she asked Chris if he had taken sleeping pills, but Chris sald be rarely took medicine.
There was only one bottle of sleeping pills at home, and it belonged to Jessica, he had never touched it.
So someone had tampered with Chris’s tea and drugged him before he returned home.
This person knew the password to the house.
After thinking it over, the only person who knew the password beskles her mother and Shannon was… Michael!
Back then, Jessica didn’t suspect Michael so much and found it hard to believe.
As the investigation progressed, Michael’s life abroad was quite interesting and not as miserable as he claimed.
After marrying Helen, Michael basically took over all of Helen’s business dealings.
He was actually the owner of Aitairy.
Wanting to take a life was no problem
at all.

“Don’t worry. Michael is right by your side now. It won’t be easy for him to harm Mr. Green. Plus, since you and Mr. Green are divorced, he basically isn’t in Michael’s way. He probably won’t try anything anymore,” Shannon said.
Jessica massaged her temples and sighed. “It’s hard to say. I don’t allow Chris to leave my side. Michael might still see him as a threat, otherwise he wouldn’t have tried to frame Chris by stabbing himself. Only Sophie, that little fool, didn’t realize it. By the way, how’s Sophie doing abroad?”
“The people at the branch said she’s either been obediently attending classes, or going out shopping with classmates. According to your orders, we haven’t stopped giving her money.”
After all, Sophie was her younger sister, Jessica couldn’t be too harsh.
“Be careful. Don’t let her have any more contact with Michael. I could tell back then that Sophie had some feelings for Michael too… I just didn’t expect she’d still haven’t forgotten after all these years.”
At the hospital, Jessica looked very anxious as she hurried to the operating room door.
The head nurse saw the investor and quickly came over to explain Jordan’s condition.
The injuries weren’t severe, but the child was too young and needed time to recover.
The surgery was still underway and would take another half an hour.
“Who brought Jordan here?” asked Jessica.
Seeing her attitude, the head nurse thought she had come to catch someone cheating.
She pointed to the anxious woman waiting by the operating room door.
“That’s her. She looks like a foreigner. She said she’s the child’s biological mother, but she couldn’t answer any questions. We were about to call the police.”
Jessica raised her hand to stop her.
She looked carefully for a while and confirmed it was the woman in the photo.

“She is Jordan’s biological mother. The reason she can’t explain that she hasn’t been with the child these past years. You can go now.
‘Okay.”
Jessica whispered a few words to Shannon, who then walked toward the observation room, while Jessica stayed beside the
woman.
Helen sensed someone nearby and looked up.
Seeing Jessica, a trace of disgust appeared in her eyes.
Then she turned her head away, pretending not to recognize her.
“Helen, you know me, right?” said Jessica.
“Who are you?” asked Helen. “I don’t know you.”
Jessica smiled calmly and sat down beside her.
“Helen, former chairman of the Giga Group, gone bankrupt two years ago, Michael’s ex–wife, Jordan’s biological mother, and Aitairy’s…”
“What do you want!”
The mention of Aitairy suddenly made Helen alert.
Jessica shushed her and pointed at a few people in the distance who were getting treatment but kept watching them.
She faintly smiled, as if she had this woman completely under control.
