Forced Marriage: My Wife, My Redemption by Lilyheart

Chapter 65: ...The Brown family will fall?

Davis sighed briefly and closed his eyes while his mind continued spinning trying to unravel the mysteries of the Brown family d its connection with Jessica.

The buzzing of the phone on the nightstand interrupted his thought, he glanced at the table and it was Jessica’s phone.

The call kept coming in relentlessly as though the caller is determined she answers the phone or risk the chance of her phone battery going off.

He was certain that she had intended to rest longer today which must be the reason she slept in. It was unlike her—since her arrival at his mansion, she had always been an early riser.

Every morning, she would go out for a run, her form disappearing into the crisp dawn before the rest of the household will even wake up. Other times, she would leave to handle private matters—matters he knew nothing about.

A thought flashed through his mind, one he had never thought of or bothered about since their marriage. "What does she do? What are her hobbies and the likes?" No, he didn’t know. Not anything at all.

He had spent so much time pushing people away that he had never once thought about trying to find out about her. He remembered Ethan giving him the result of his findings. He made a mental note to get it from him.

As the phone continuously rang, he had no option than to wake her up. He nudged her lightly, "Jessica, wake up," he said softly.

She stirred and buried her face deeply into the pillow. He nudged her again, she sighed and groggily woke up "what is the problem?" She asked amidst a yawn.

He hand her the phone whose ringing persistently tore the silence. She glanced at the phone and it was her father calling. She believed Richard is more efficient to compared to James and this call is a proof of something gone wrong.

As she picked the call, George’s voice came through the speaker "The Brown family is in facing a lawsuit and it’s existence is been threatened. Since you are married to the Allen family you have to get them to help us in curbing the tide.

Jessica’s gripped the phone with a little force around as she listened to her father’s frantic words. Her gaze cold and indifferent, but a dangerous glint flashed in her eyes.

"Really, what’s going on with the family?" She asked nonchalantly.
