Jessica beamed as Jake flew into an abusive rage.She was surprised that it took little to rile him"Jessica!" Larry appeared.

He had asked her out for lunch that day.

Jake turned around, paled, and watched him saunter towards them.

"Jake, what brings you here?" Larry asked coldly.

Jake gazed at him, smirking.He saw right through Larry's pretense.

Whatever is happening in Norton Corporation must be affecting him.

Larry, there's more to come.

"Nothing"

He brushed some invisible dust off his shirt arrogantly and left.

Larry gritted his teeth at his departing silhouette before taking his seat as though nothinghappened.

"So? Have you finally realized who you're up against? Be on your guard whenever you're dealingwith Jake.He's not someone to be trifled with, Larry warned Jessica.Suddenly, she understood hisintention of inviting her to lunch. He knew Jake would pass by at that exact moment.

After he left them, Jake got into the car and pounded on the steering wheel.

"You won't get away with this!"

At that, he sped away.

"Larry, do you really think he's behind this?" Jessica asked.

He nodded as Jake drove off.

Besides the latter, there was no one.

Jake had resorted to countless unscrupulous ways to win Joan's heart.

Despite his long-enduring efforts, he failed.

"Did you replace anything about the guy I mentioned before?"

Larry suddenly turned to her and asked curtly.

"Huh?"

Jessica was dumbfounded.

"The guy who went to Joan's house that day.Oh, and that old lady"

It completely slipped my mind.She scratched the back of her head awkwardly and immediately tookout her phone to make a call.

"Hey, I want you to run a background check on a man."

How could she be so forgetful? Larry shook his head in disbelief.He took a sip of his coffee and left.Jessica finally heaved a sigh of relief.She hung up the call and rushed to Joan's place.

"What brings you here?"

The latter was surprised when she opened the door.

Without another word, Jessica stormed in and scanned the house.Her odd behavior baffled Joan.Jessica turned around, eyes blazing with suspicion.

"What's wrong?"

"Tell me.Are you hiding a man in the house?"

Joan could not help but chuckle when she saw her friend's grim face.I'm hiding from one now.Why would I want another? Jessica patted her shoulder and grumbled, "Why are you laughing?"At the same time, she was relieved to see the woman's reaction.

"Don’t worry.I'm not hiding a man here.”

Joan patted her chest earnestly.

Jessica grinned because she finally had an explanation for Larry.Yet, she was still curious about themysterious guy and his relationship with Joan.
