Big Novel

Chapter 433
Not wanting to wake Jessica up, Wyatt lowered his voice to a whisper. “Is this about Scarlett?”
“Yes, Mr. Lopez. She’s dead. Her mother saw the videos on the school website. She never made it out of the operating room
after that. Unable to cope with the loss, Scarlett jumped off the top floor of her office building,” the person replied.
“Oh, I see. Anything else?” Wyatt asked placidly.
“News about Scarlett’s suicide is currently spreading like wildfire. Do you need me to take care of that?”
“What for? Her entire family is dead. She can’t possibly cause any further damage. Do you have anything else to report? If not,
I’ll be hanging up now.”
Wyatt placed the phone back on the nightstand, pulled Jessica back into his arms, and tugged the blanket over their shoulders.
The room fell into silence once again.
Jessica waited until she heard him snoring an hour later before slowly opening her eyes.
She gently lifted Wyatt’s arm and waited a few minutes to see if he would wake up. After making sure that he was still asleep,
she eased her way out of his embrace.
With her feet bare, she made her way over to the nightstand and picked up the phone.
She snuck into the bathroom, locked the door, and stood next to the window as she tried to unlock the phone.
It took her two tries to get the password right.
After checking the balance in his bank account and confirming that he hadn’t changed his password, she quickly logged out and
dialed a number.
It took quite a while for the person to answer the phone. “Hello?”
“Hey, Uncle Oliver. It’s me.” Jessica tried her best to sound calm so Oliver wouldn’t notice anything off about her.
“Oh, Jessica? Where are you? I went to see you at the office, but they told me you had resigned. I saw the news about the death
of Stargrasp’s owner. Was it you who—”

“Yes, they’re all dead. I’ve avenged Bianca and my parents,” Jessica replied.
“You haven’t answered my question. Where are you?”
“I’m busy with my work overseas. In fact, I forgot to bring my phone today because I was too busy. I’m calling you on my friend’s
phone right now,” Jessica said in the calmest voice possible.
“You’re overseas? Then why is this phone number from Chanaea?” Oliver asked in confusion.
“My friend has a Chanaea phone number for calling home. International calls are expensive.” Not wanting to arouse his
suspicion, she quickly tried to change the topic. “Anyway, I helped you and Aunt Danielle apply for Jetroina visas. I’ll transfer five
hundred thousand into your bank account later, so you can pack your stuff and take Aunt Danielle on vacation. I’ll go visit you
two when I get some time off work.”
“Why would you want us to go on vacation all of a sudden, Jessica? Are you sure you’re all right?” Oliver asked worriedly.
“I’m fine, Uncle Oliver. I just wanted you two to go enjoy yourselves now that everything has been taken care of. All right, make
sure to take Aunt Danielle on vacation. I’ll give you a call if I’m able to visit you two,” Jessica replied with a chuckle and hung up
the phone before Oliver could even respond.
She also made sure to block his number to prevent him from calling back.
After that, she used Wyatt’s bank account to transfer five hundred thousand over to Oliver.
Upon receiving confirmation of the successful bank transfer, she quickly deleted the transaction information and switched the
phone off.
After that, she returned to the bed and placed the phone back on the nightstand.
She had just climbed into bed when Wyatt pulled her into his arms.
Jessica quickly turned around in shock, only to breathe a sigh of relief when she saw that he had done it subconsciously in his
sleep.
Wyatt is no longer the same man I used to know. Not only is he often moody and unpredictable, but he’s also capable of doing
pretty much anything. I need to be more careful around him. There’s no telling if he’ll take his anger out on Uncle Oliver and Aunt
Danielle. Well, they’ll be safe as long as they’re not in Norwal City...

As Scarlett’s father was the owner of Stargrasp, news of her suicide spread like wildfire all over Norwal City. It caused such a
huge scene that even Rayna had heard about it.
Of course, she didn’t think much about it when she first saw it on television. After seeing the news of Scarlett’s father dying in a
car accident a few months ago, however, Rayna connected the dots and realized there was more to it than met the eye.
Those who died that night were the ones who caused Bianca’s death... And now, Scarlett has committed suicide as well. Is this
Jessie avenging her sister? But Jefferson is in Jetroina right now, so he couldn’t possibly have helped her out. Was it Wyatt who
helped her? Given his attitude and what he said the other day, it doesn’t seem very likely. Besides, he said he has already
broken up with Jessie. There’s no way he’d lend her a hand!
As Jessica had helped Rayna out a lot when she went overseas with Jefferson, Rayna was very grateful to her.
She would do everything in her power to help Jessica out if she so much as asked.
However, she had no idea where Jessica had gone as she hadn’t heard from her in a really long time.
Fearing that something terrible had happened to Jessica, Rayna didn’t even hear her assistant knocking on the door.
It wasn’t until Ella called out to her twice that she snapped out of her daze and asked, “What is it?”
“There’s a boy in the lobby asking to see you. He says he’s your nephew,” Ella replied.
Rayna figured it was probably Carl when she heard that. Oh, that’s right! Jasmine told me to look after Carl while she visits
Theodore overseas!
Rayna went downstairs to welcome Carl in person.
“Carl!” she called out to him when she saw him sipping on a glass of water on the couch.
Carl put the glass down and hopped off the couch when he saw her coming.
It wasn’t until he got closer that Rayna noticed he had gotten a lot taller. “Wow! You sure are growing up fast! You look like you’re
eight or nine years old now!”
“I can’t help it. My parents have amazing genes. You’re lucky to have such a handsome future son-in-law!” Carl said with a smug
grin on his face.

Amused by his level of shamelessness, Rayna teased him, “What if I give birth to a boy instead?”
“Then give birth to another child.”
“The doctor said I have a high chance of conceiving boys, though. What if the second child turns out to be a boy as well?”
Carl frowned as he gave it some thought. “No, I’m sure you’ll have a daughter! Once you get pregnant, I’ll start praying that you
get a baby girl!”
“Why didn’t you ask me to have a third child instead?” Rayna asked with a chuckle.
“The age gap would be too big, then. Think about it, if you and Mr. Curtis get married this year and have a baby in the next, you’ll
need some time to recover before you can get pregnant again. Your second child and I will be seven years apart. She’ll think I’m
too old for her then!”
Rayna gave him a pinch on the nose before bringing him to the elevator. “Wow, you sure have everything mapped out, huh? I will
have a baby girl, but I won’t be marrying Curtis.”
Carl looked up at her and asked curiously, “Did you and Mr. Curtis get into a fight?”
“No, Carl. We broke up.”
“Why? Mr. Curtis treats you really well, doesn’t he? My mom says he has never treated any other woman this well!”
Rayna shuddered when she heard that.
After taking a deep breath to suppress her feelings, she flashed him a smile and said, “We broke up because we no longer have
feelings for each other.”
