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?”
