Chapter 23: Can I trust you?
~Earlier~
Despite the cold welcome they received as they arrived the Brown family, Jessica never thought that anything would go wrong or that her home coming might be another ploy set by her sister but Risa’s confident smirk made her think and recall.
After her mother’s death, her stay in the Brown became painful and sorrowful. It was a nightmare that she would never ask to revisit. She had grown under the meticulous care of her mother and never experienced the hardheartedness of man.
George who is her father never regarded as his daughter. Whenever a report is presented to him, he will find a reason to blame. "Don’t be unreasonable Jessica, she is your younger sister", his tone cold and devoid of any emotion.
With no one to support her she was being plotted against at all time by Risa.
At first, she was wondering how her father will never believe her even when she is telling the truth but for Risa a little tear will make her the wronged one and despite her feigned tears she will smirk and challenge Jessica, sometimes she will taunt her and if she retorts she will be beaten as though she is a criminal.
With no one to back her up, she will retire to her room in tears, as time goes on that confident taunt and smirk became etched in her mind and had become a warning light for Risa’s action or planned action. It can be said to be the attitude of her knowing her enemy well. She will be a fool if the same method is to be used against her again and again.
But today is a different case, Davis Allen is with her and she must protect him and not let him suffer from Risa’s plot. Observing Risa’s confident smirk and her subtle glance at Davis she decided to find out the medicine she is selling in her gourd. With the excuse of going to her room to pick something she proceeded to investigate and luck was on her side that she didn’t search much.
As soon as she stepped into the hallway she saw a maid coming out of Risa’s bedroom clutching a nylon bag in her hand. Her steps flattering and her hands trembling as her eyes darted around the hallway making sure no one is in sight. She was nervous— a point that sold her out to Jessica. On seeing Jessica she flinched in shock but quickly masked her fear taking a bold step to bypass Jessica, who abruptly pulled her into her room without warning and the door shut with a thud.
