Sextuplets From Ruthless Love

"We can shelve that for now. Mr. Gulliford, the abductor took my 750 thousand dollars. That was my own money. Shouldn't you return it to me?" "But I didn't ask you to do that."

Trevor smirked, striding to her side to take a seat.

Forget 750 thousand dollars; even 7.5 million dollars was nothing to him. He merely wanted to pull her leg all of a sudden.

"Mr. Gulliford, don't you feel against your conscience saying that?"

She clasped her hands together, her gaze flashing with puzzlement.

"What does he mean by that? Did I spend my money for nothing?" she mused.

"Against my conscience or not does not matter. Haven't you heard how others spoke about me? Cheating me of my feelings and time is fine, but not my money."

The man grinned, leaned against the couch, and

displayed a hoity-toity demeanor.

He had never exhibited himself in such a demeanorto others before. Not even before his biological grandfather had he been this relaxed.

Yet, before Jessica, he was wholly different. She was his other half that he had already acknowledged to himself.

"I've only heard that you're a solemn and aloof man when it comes to business. Unexpectedly, you'd even default on your debt one day. 750 thousand dollars isn't even enough to cover your expenses for a few days." She frowned, feeling resigned from deep within. That was 750 thousand dollars. It would take god knows how long for her to earn that back.

Although she was doing business abroad, it was not a large business like Trevor's and merely a small one. Moreover, that was all thanks to Yolanda and Alfred's help.

This 750 thousand dollars was her rainy day fund for her and her children. She didn't want to have to go back to work at Cerulean when she was broke someday.

"Why? You're not trying to extort me, are you, Ms. Lockett? Even if you are, you'd have to pay the price. For example, sexually."

"Mr. Gulliford, do you think such a joke is funny?"

Jessica abruptly stood up, planning to leave. However, Trevor stopped her with a tug.

"All right, I won't joke around anymore. You haven't had breakfast, yes? I'll take you out to eat.

As for the money, I'll definitely return it to you," he stated solemnly.

Still, the amusement in his gaze couldn't be concealed.

"What should I do? Every time I see her staying by my side obediently, I can't help but laugh. How can I fix this?" he mused.

Jessica said nothing to that. Even a fool could tell that he was still messing with her.Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.

He was the prestigious Trevor Gulliford. How could he possibly care about that little bit of money?

When the duo went for breakfast, Jessica went to the restroom midway through. By the time she returned, she saw that blue-eyed blonde woman who was close with Trevor again. en NovelDrama.Org

Coincidentally, Trevor seemed to have spotted her too. He took the initiative to stand up and call out to that woman, whereas Jessica stood in the corner to spy on the two's actions discreetly.

She wasn't doing that on purpose either. She merely feared interrupting them if she were to go over.

In addition, she also... wanted to observe.

Trevor and that woman seemed very intimate. That woman said something and actually kissed him on the cheek for a while before leaving.

"Goodness mused Jessica, rooted

to the spot. "Isn't it said that Trevor

doesn't go near women? He never gives women any chance to approach him.

Furthermore, he has mysophobia. How could he allow someone to kiss him? They must be very intimate, right?"

Right as she was deep in her thoughts, a pair of large hands abruptly landed on her shoulders.

"Why are you standing here?"

The man's voice was tender. She turned to meet his eyes, her mind a mess.

"Nothing."

She shook her head, then strode back to her seat.
