In the Lap of Luxury

Chapter 419 True Colors

It was hard to answer Grace's question because Jessica had disappeared. Half an hour later, Zoey sent her a message. "Gracie, Jessica's disappeared."

Grace was startled. "What did you say?"

Zoey explained, "The person I hired to follow her said that she got out of a car right at the hospital's entrance. But then she was immediately whisked away in a black car."

Grace clenched her fist when she heard that.

"She was taken away?"

"It looks like the other party is professionally trained. Their movements were practiced, and by the time my guy realized what was happening, Jessica had already disappeared."

"Okay."

Grace hung up, her eyes darkening. She looked toward the tightly closed door of the operating theater, where Richard was still undergoing surgery.

Jessica had already shown up at the hospital, which showed that she and the Quines didn't have an ordinary relationship.

But then who had taken her away?

…

That night, the hospital was quiet, and there was no one in the corridor. The only sound was the beeping of machines coming faintly from the hospital room.

At that moment, a figure suddenly appeared from the emergency stairs. She was covered from head to toe and wore a mask. The only thing that could be seen were her eyes.

Then, she pushed the door open and walked into the VIP hospital room.

Jessica trod lightly, afraid that she would disturb the person on the hospital bed. She finally reached the bed and saw Richard, who was barely hanging on.

At once, her eyes reddened. "Grandfather, I'm back—"

Jessica took Richard's hand, her eyes tender. The man who had always doted on her had been reduced to this.

"Grandfather, don't worry. I'll reinstate the Quine family and make us return to the peak of our glory. I'll save the career that you spent your entire life building. This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

"I'll make everyone who hurt you and our family pay. Grandfather, wait for me and recover quickly. I won't make you wait too long."

Jessica finished speaking and stood up, wiping away her tears. She was about to leave, but suddenly, the lights in the room turned on. Jessica was shocked.

"Who is it?"

Then, Jessica saw Benjamin, who was standing in the doorway.

He leaned against the door frame, looking at Jessica meaningfully. His eyes were as deep as a bottomless lake.

"Why are you still here?" Jessica asked in an annoyed voice. She acted like she hadn't just been caught in the act.

Benjamin's lips curled up slightly as he walked toward her.

"Mr. Quine Senior is still pretty healthy. He managed to survive a coronary artery bypass graft surgery that took over ten hours, and he's now out of danger. If he focuses on recovery, he'll be out of the hospital soon."

"It seems that I should thank you properly." There was a note of contempt in Jessica's voice. "It's just a pity that I don't feel any gratitude toward you at all, Benjamin."

Benjamin's mouth twitched. "You disappeared for five years, and you already have a completely new life. Why did you want to come back?"

Jessica huffed coldly, her fists clenching. "What do you think? Benjamin, you're a huge part of the reason that my family has been reduced to this!

"You once promised me that you would take care of Yvonne, but where is she now? Where did you let that bitch Grace take her?" Jessica asked sharply.

She hadn't planned to come back to Pamore. She had wanted to continue living with Jessica's identity and completely leave her past behind.
