Chapter 1198 The Past

Jessica never mentioned her childhood experiences to Alex. All that was known was that her father and grandfather passed away carly, and her mother single-handedly raised her.

Recalling Jessica’s humble and well-mannered personality, Alex became interested at once. He wanted to hear about the interesting experiences Jessica had when she was young.

Without our assistance, she and her mother would have starved to death long ago. Because she didn’t have a father, Jessica was often bullied when she was young. Moreover, she was very beautiful, and many boys in her high school class liked her. She was also the campus belle at that time. However, those who are popular are more likely to be targeted. One day, after school, a few men kidnapped Jessica when she was riding her bicycle. The person behind the kidnapping was someone Jessica had rejected several times, and in his anger, he paid some local thugs to abduct her.
