His Precious Love

Chapter 538

As Jessica's phone only had two contacts, Hazel's and Jacob's, she thought Hazel had called her and answered her

phone.

“Ms. Jessica Marsh.” The voice on the other end didn't sound like Hazel or Jacob.

Clearly, they weren't the ones calling her.

Upon hearing that the person was calling her by her real name, Jessica asked with a frown, “Who are you?”

“Who I am is not important. What's important is what I'm about to tell you.” The man on the other end snickered.

“Did you know your aunt and uncle are already dead while you're living happily in Yartran?”

“What are you saying?” Jessica barked. “I don't know how you know my name, but I don't know you! Also, my aunt

and uncle are doing well! You don't need to worry about them!”

“Ms. Marsh, did you not suspect why your uncle was beaten up back then?”

“What do you mean?”

“It means I know everything. I pity you, which is why I want to tell you the truth, Ms. Marsh.” The man paused

before speaking one word at a time in a sinister voice. “I bet you don't know Mr. Lopez was the one who gave us

the address and asked us to pay Oliver a visit. He also told us to get your location out of Oliver by any means

necessary.” He sighed. “We didn't want to hurt him too badly, but we couldn't go against our employer's wishes. If I

didn't send you a text message in secret asking you to head over to his place, your uncle would've been done for. I

just didn't expect your aunt to get into a car accident. That has nothing to do with us.”

“You're lying! Shut up! Shut! Up!” Jessica's hand was trembling, but she still managed to speak calmly. “My aunt and

uncle are being taken care of. You don't need to worry about them.”

Then, she ended the call hastily. However, she was still panicking because she was worried what the man said was

true.

She wanted to dial Rayna's number, but she was so distraught that she forgot her number.

As Jessica tightened her grip on her phone, trying to recall the number, it rang again.

She answered the call and realized it was still from the same man. “I called you because I felt guilty, and I

happened to have your number, Ms. Marsh. If you don't believe me, you can ask your friends in Norwal City about

it.”

Composedly, she asked, “Who's Mr. Lopez?”

“Stop joking around, Ms. Marsh. You know who Mr. Lopez is and why he sent us to your uncle's house.”

Wyatt? Jessica hung up the phone. That's impossible. Even if he can't find me, I doubt that he's cruel enough to hurt

my aunt and uncle. Then again, he did threaten me in the past that if I escaped, he'd hurt them.

“Don't think I'm joking with you right now, Jessica! There's nothing I can't do!” It was as though Wyatt's threat was

repeating next to her ears, which sent a shiver down her spine.

In response, she asked her the AI assistant on her phone to call Jacob as her hands shook uncontrollably.

She bit her fingernails forcefully to calm herself down while waiting for him to pick up the call.

“What's the matter?”

“Mr. Valentine, can you help me investigate two people?” Her voice was quivering as she spoke. “One's called Oliver

Marsh, and the other... Their identification numbers are...”

Upon sensing something was wrong based on her tone, he quickly asked, “Okay, I'll ask someone to look into them.

Are you all right?”

“I-I'm fine.” Jessica forced herself to calm down. “Tell me what you find about them when you do.”

“I will. Don't panic, all right?”

Meanwhile, a professional assistant entered the CEO's office of Lopez Group and reported to the man sitting at the

office table, “We still haven't gotten any leads, Mr. Lopez.”

“Goddamnit!” Wyatt was enraged to hear that and hurled his pen toward the assistant. “I'm only asking you all to

search for a woman! What the heck are you all doing?”

The assistant responded aggrievedly, “We're still looking for her, but we'll find her.”

“Then go find her! Why are you here?”

“There's something I need to tell you.” The assistant informed carefully, “While searching for Ms. Marsh, we

discovered her aunt and uncle had passed away. Their ashes are being kept at a funeral home.”

Wyatt grimaced. “How did they die?”

“I heard her aunt died in a car crash.” Seeing that Wyatt wasn't getting angry, the assistant promptly reported

everything. “When I was investigating their deaths, I learned from their neighbor that someone assaulted them in

their home that night. The surveillance cameras were destroyed, so I couldn't find out who the ones responsible

were.”

“This is a premeditated act!” Wyatt slammed his hand on the table. “Ask the police to help out. Check the

surveillance camera footage on the streets near their home. Find out who the attackers are!” I knew she used my

phone that night and transferred some money, but I didn't reveal to her I was aware of what she did. I stopped

paying attention to her aunt and uncle because I thought they had left the country. Their deaths are certainly

unexpected.

Because of the news, he felt very exasperated throughout the whole day. He even wondered why Jessica didn't

return to Norwal City after she had learned of their deaths.

Then, someone called him.

“I'll meet you at the club later tonight, Wyatt!” Jacob said gleefully. “I got a business I want to discuss with you.

You're definitely going to be happy with the price!”

“Like heck I will! I'm not in the mood!”

“Oh, come one. You still have to make money even if you're upset. Consider doing it as compensation for the

painting you stole from me.”

“Didn't you receive my money? I didn't steal it from you!”

“Hey, that painting was drawn by a master artist! It's an invaluable piece of art!” Jacob grumbled. “Besides, I was

the one who took you back to my house when you got drunk that night in Yartran. Am I not a good friend?”

“Shut up!” Wyatt was annoyed by his friend's insistence. “I'll head over there tonight!”

Jacob chuckled. “Great! I'll be waiting for you.”

After Wyatt took care of his matters in the company, he left the building at half past seven and headed to the club.

Jacob arrived at around the same time with a few guests. After he took them to the restaurant for dinner, he

received a text from Wyatt announcing his arrival. He took Wyatt to the restaurant and introduced him to the

guests.

The guests knew who Wyatt was. After exchanging some pleasantries, they had dinner and went to a private room

to discuss business.

Upon listening to their proposal, Wyatt was quite interested in the collaboration. They discussed the details and

eventually decided to sign the contract on Wednesday.

Once that was done, they had fun eating and drinking.

After wrapping up his conversation with the guests, Jacob approached Wyatt and winked. “What do you think? I was

right about the money, wasn't I? I'm such a good friend for sharing this lucrative opportunity with you. Don't you

agree?”

Wyatt sneered, “Don't be smart with me!”

“I treat you as my buddy, so don't treat me as a tool, all right?” Jacob draped an arm around his friend's neck.

“Celebrate like always?”

Wyatt shoved his arm away. “All right.”

“Let's toast to our friendship!” Jacob beamed as he clinked his glass with Wyatt's even though the latter was

ignoring him.

After Jacob took two sips, the phone in his pocket vibrated.

He took out his phone and read the text he had received. His expression changed drastically.

Upon telling Wyatt he was going out to get some fresh air, he left the room, found a quiet spot, and called Jessica.

The call connected quickly. In a panic, she asked, “Did you find out anything about them, Mr. Valentine?”
