After Matthew heard what Jeremy said, sweats broke out on his back.
‘What if we spare our parents this time, and they will not be regretful and plan to kidnap Ashley next time? ‘Ashley was lucky and didn’t get hurt this time, but what about the next time?
‘If Ashley is kidnapped and gets hurt next time, we will not have a chance. to regret it, Matthew thought. Ashley glanced at Jeremy silently after hearing his words.Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.
Two police officers strode forward, pulled Bertha and Jessica up from the ground, and cuffed them with cold silver handcuffs with a click.
Evan's eyes widened in anger as he saw the three of them being handcuffed. He felt angry and regretful. Ashley! It’s all her fault!’ he thought.
“Wait a minute!” Evan suddenly shouted, “Bertha and | came up with the idea of kidnapping. It has nothing to do with Jessica. Don't arrest her!”
Ryan’s face darkened. “How is it possible? | know you guys. You would never have such an idea. The idea of kidnapping must have come from Jessica!”
Matthew also added, “Dad, why are you still protecting Jessica? Jessica even made you go to jail!” Evan scolded, “Shut up! | said it had nothing to do with Jessica! Bertha, what do you think?”
Bertha was in a daze. She became even more confused when she heard Evan’s question. She thought, ‘I don’t want to go to jail either. Why did Evan only find an excuse for Jessica but not me?
‘However, it would be good if Jessica could escape from punishment.
‘In any case, | have raised Jessica for many years and already regard Jessica as my biological daughter’ Bertha nodded blankly. “Yes, this matter has nothing to do with Jessica. Jessica does not know it at all...” 1/3

Jessica was joyful when she heard it but still pretended to be sad. “Mom, Dad, | really don’t know...”
Evan followed suit. “Yes, this matter indeed has nothing to do with Jessica. Don’t arrest the wrong person. He thought, ‘As long as Jessica won't be arrested, she can get Bertha and me out of prison.
Jessica is so sensible and considerate. | believed she would try her best to get Bertha and me out of prison!”
Ashley looked at this scene with an expressionless face and mocked. inwardly, ‘Evan and Bertha want to keep Jessica innocent even if they have to go to jail themselves. | didn’t expect them to do this for Jessica.
Want to protect Jessica? Don’t even think about it.
| have many ways to make Evan confess that Jessica was also involved.’
Evan and Bertha insisted that Jessica didn’t know anything about the kidnap, so the police could only take Evan and Bertha away for investigation and interrogate the kidnappers together.
Jessica dodged a bullet. Ryan looked at her in rage.
Ashley thought of something, and she took a few steps away, took out her phone to call Jaden, and asked in a low voice, “Jessica wants to secretly sell the shares of the Ramos Group to the Zenith Group. When will she sign the contract?”
Jaden was woken up at midnight and said listlessly. “Oh my. You called me and woke me up just to ask this thing?” Ashley replied, “Tell me.” Jaden said, “Five days later. What’s wrong?”
Ashley responded, “Ask the people of the Zenith Group to inform Jessica. that the contract will be signed tomorrow, and as an apology, you can offer her a higher price to buy her shares of the Ramos Group.”
Jaden wondered, “Why are you so hurry? You can’t wait for even five days?”
Ashley’s delicate face was expressionless. “Yes, | can’t wait to handle Jessica.”
