Chapter 539
\nA Flash Marriage Can Be A Treasure novel Chapter 539<\/p>\n
“Are you familiar with them?”<\/p>\n
“Yes.” Jessie asks, “Where are they? Are they okay?”<\/p>\n
Chace hesitates for a moment before he says, “I had someone investigate them. I just received news that one of the two died in the hospital from serious injuries and the other in a car accident. The ashes were placed in the funeral home.”<\/p>\n
There is a sudden silence on the other end of the phone.<\/p>\n
“Kelsie?” Chace tentatively calls. “Are you alright?”<\/p>\n
“They … are dead?” After a long time, Jessie says again slowly, “They are both dead?”<\/p>\n
Chace hurriedly says, “There are too many people with the same name in the country. Perhaps the ID numbers you gave me are wrong. Think carefully, and I’ll have someone check it again.”<\/p>\n
“The numbers can’t be wrong … I didn’t pronounce the ID numbers wrongly….” Jessie suddenly weeps. It sounds she is trying to suppress the pain. “Why are they dead? They were all the relatives I had….”<\/p>\n
Something occurs to Chace, and he pats his head hard.<\/p>\n
If he had known that these two people were her relatives, he wouldn’t have told her the truth so bluntly.<\/p>\n
“Don’t … don’t cry. Perhaps my people have made a mistake,” Chace comforts her gently. “I’ll have someone check again. It’s my fault. I told you before I knew their identities.”<\/p>\n
The weeps on the other end of the phone turn into wailing, as if she doesn’t hear what Chace says.<\/p>\n
The heartbreaking sobs make Chace anxious and distressed.<\/p>\n
He hangs up the phone and calls the servant who takes care of Jessie, asking her to go upstairs to check on her as he walks towards the private room.<\/p>\n
After entering the private room, Chace smiles apologetically, “Sorry, I have to go. I’m in a hurry to catch a plane. Have fun, everyone.”<\/p>\n
He takes his coat on the sofa and is about to leave.<\/p>\n
Leigh glances at him. “Are you going to Country Y to see your girlfriend?”<\/p>\n
“Yes, I said something wrong that made her cry … I’m so annoyed!” Chace scratches his hair in frustration. “Anyway, you should take care of your guests.”<\/p>\n
Leigh shifts his gaze away, not bothering to care about him.<\/p>\n
Chace is anxious and doesn’t notice that his coat has been taken upside down. As he walks, something falls out of his coat.<\/p>\n
The item bounces a few times on the carpet and stops beside Leigh’s leather shoe.<\/p>\n
The lights in the private are bright. Leigh sees something by his shoe and subconsciously bends down to pick it up.<\/p>\n
When he sees the sunflower made of gem on the carpet, his pupils contracts.<\/p>\n
It was a gift to him from Jessie.<\/p>\n
At that time, the shopping guide of Van Cleef & Arpels said it was a collaboration design, and that there was only one in the world!<\/p>\n
When Chace sees Leigh pick it up for him, he tries to snatch it from his hand and says, “Thank you, buddy. I have to go….”<\/p>\n
“Where did you get this jewel!” Leigh interrupts Chace, still tightly holding the sunflower. He doesn’t mean to give it to him. “Who sold it to you?”<\/p>\n
Seeing Leigh’s red eyes and his stern expression, Chace is frightened.<\/p>\n
He thinks that Leigh is joking with him, so he pleads, “Stop kidding. I really have to go.”<\/p>\n
He tries again to snatch away the sunflower.<\/p>\n
Leigh grabs Chace’s wrist and demands, “Answer me! Where did you get it?”<\/p>\n
“Holy shit. It hurts!” Chace feels that his wrist is about to break, so he shouted, “My girlfriend gave it to me. Leigh, don’t take a fancy to it. I won’t sell it.”<\/p>\n
“Where did your girlfriend get it?” Leigh asks. “What’s her name?”<\/p>\n
“I don’t know!” Chace gasped. “Let go of me first. My hand is really going to break. Damn.”<\/p>\n
“What’s her name?”<\/p>\n
Chace screams in pain and surrenders. “Kelsie, her name is Kelsie.”<\/p>\n
“Kelsie,” Leigh murmurs. He realizes that it rhymes with Jessie. He suddenly remembers the painting he brings home, and his breathing became rapid.<\/p>\n
Chace curses inside that this fellow is so efficient, and hurriedly follows him in.<\/p>\n
On the second floor, he finally finds Leigh in the master bedroom, while the servant protects Jessie and curls up beside the bed, trembling.<\/p>\n
When the servant sees Chace, it’s as if she has seen a savior. “Sir, your … your friend….”<\/p>\n
“It’s okay. He’s just drunk.” Chace hurriedly pulls Leigh’s sleeve and persuades, “I will pay you at the price of whatever she stole from you. Look at how frightening you are.”<\/p>\n
“Let go!” Leigh shakes off Chace’s hand and stares fixedly at the woman behind the servant.<\/p>\n
He has been looking for her for so long, but he doesn’t expect her to be hiding here.<\/p>\n
This damn woman!<\/p>\n
Leigh’s chest heaves violently. He has long forgotten what he has said before. He strides over, pushes the servant aside, and gets Jessie off the bed.<\/p>\n
“Keep hiding. You’re very capable, aren’t you?”<\/p>\n
Leigh gets even more furious when she keeps her head lowered in silence. “I’ll break your legs when we go back. I’ll see where else you can run to!”<\/p>\n
When Chace realizes what’s going on, he immediately goes up to stop him.<\/p>\n
“Leigh, are you crazy? She’s pregnant, and she can’t see. Why are you yelling at her?”<\/p>\n
“Mine!” Leigh shouts angrily at him.<\/p>\n
Chace is confused, “What … what do you mean?”<\/p>\n
“She and the child are mine!” Leigh grabs Chace’s clothes and pulls him closer. His eyes are scarlet. “Did you touch her?”<\/p>\n
“Is she….” Chace looks at Jessie and asks, “Is she the person you’ve been looking for?”<\/p>\n
Leigh draws nearer to him and demands with gritted teeth, “Did you touch her?”<\/p>\n
Chace is frightened by him. His entire body trembling, he stutters, “No, never….”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-2476","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/2476","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/nirvanaharapan.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2476"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
