Save Myself from Desperation by Cara Agnes

Chapter 301

Evan’s face instantly turned stern. “She’s about to sign the contract, what else could it be but selling shares!”

He thought anxiously. What’s more terrifying is that Jessica is selling the shares behind our backs while Bertha and I are in prison. What is she planning to do? Is she trying to take the money and run? Does she not care about her parents in jail at all?”

Bertha, in disbelief and mentally dazed, shook her head repeatedly. “No, Jessica wouldn’t do this, she just wouldn’t. Maybe… Maybe she’s selling. the shares to raise money to save us!”

Hearing Bertha’s words. Evan looked at her skeptically.

Bertha, desperately trying to find excuses for her, spoke incoherently. “Think about it. Evan. Both of us are in prison. If Jessica wants to get us out, she needs to make connections and hire lawyers, all of which cost a lot of money! Where else could Jessica get the money but by selling the shares?”

Evan’s anger started to wane upon hearing this reasoning. “Is that so…”

After all, he couldn’t bear to believe that Jessica would abandon him, her father.

“It must be true! Jessica is definitely raising money for us!” Bertha kept convincing herself, feeling that she had always cherished Jessica more than her own daughter, and Jessica must surely be grateful and dutiful to her.

Evan’s expression softened considerably as his unconditional favoritism toward Jessica made him easily agree with Bertha’s words.

He pondered firmly, That’s right, Jessica must be selling the shares to raise money to save me!”

Hearing their conversation, Joseph was utterly astonished at their level of stupidity. “Damn! I’ve seen dumb, but never this dumb! They’re both stupid and wicked!”

Jaden scoffed, “Hah, just let them wait and see!”

Evan was still making unreasonable arguments, saying, “Jessica is my daughter, of course, I trust her!”
