In this moment, I was beaten back to reality.
All my delusions had been beaten back to the original shape because of this small pill.
I drooped my eyes and suppressed the bitterness in my heart. I pretended to be calm and picked up the pill and the water glass.
I wanted to drink quickly, but the hand holding the water glass was shaking.
I had no choice but to put the pill in my mouth, and then I held the water glass in both hands and drank it.
I was glad that Sean didn’t turn on the light during the whole process.
He must not be able to see my helplessness and sadness.
After drinking the medicine and calming down for a while, I pretended to say in a tone of indifference and alienation, “I have drunk the medicine. President Jessop, don’t worry. I won’t have your baby. Are you ready to leave?”
But Sean didn’t leave.
He was standing right next to me.
I thought he was afraid of me pretending to take medicine.
To prove that I had taken the medicine, I looked up and drank all the water in the glass. I put the glass in front of him and looked up at him,”President Jessop, I swear. I really drank the medicine.”
But Sean looked at me and took the water glass.
It was too dark for me to see his eyes. I heard him say, “sorry, this is not the time for you to be pregnant.”
Then he turned and returned the glass to the kitchen.
I waited a little longer, and Sean didn’t seem to want to leave.
I asked him, “when is President Jessop going to leave?”
“I will not leave.”Sean replied firmly.”We are husband and wife. Isn’t it right to live together?”
“President Jessop, this is my house. Does President Jessop depend on me? Is the Giant group in crisis? You can’t even afford a house.”
I tried to keep my tone cold.
Because only in this way could I put myself farthest away from him.
I would keep him away.
Sean sat on the sofa in the living room. He was using his laptop to send e-mails. When he heard me, he sat up straight at me and asked,”what kind of house do you like? I’ll buy it for you. If you don’t have a house you like, I’ll buy a piece of land and build one for you.”
When I heard that, I wanted to laugh.
“Does President Jessop say that to everyone?”
I remembered that very clearly. I heard this sentence a long time ago.
When Sherry asked Molly if she didn’t live with Sean, Inez said that Sean had said the same thing to Molly.
“You are my wife.”
Sean didn’t prove the answer, but he did.
I looked at Sean on the sofa and for a moment thought that this man was too good at lying. How could a woman like me be his opponent?
In order to force him to give up, I went to him, lowered my head and said, “Does President Jessop want to have a good time with me? You want me to be Mrs. Jessop?”
“No…”
“Well, if you agree to my terms, I’ll be Mrs. Jessop. As long as you need me, I will be with you and listen to you all my life.”
I didn’t let him go on at all.
But Sean looked up at me and got up and said, “say it.”
“I want you to take out the evidence you have, and then publish that I am innocent in the previous two things. The culprit is Molly. She did everything, including Henry’s death!”
I was not sure, but I believed Sean was not a fool.
He must have evidence of Molly’s crime.
Including the message I didn’t send and the phone I didn’t call on Molly’s cell phone before I was in prison.
It wasn’t until later that Daniel told me that he suspected my phone had been copied.
Sean’s face darkened after listening to me.”That’s impossible.”
He was cold.
He was decisive.
“You love Molly so much that you don’t even need principles. But you’re pestering me. Isn’t it torture?”
I looked up at Sean’s black eyes. I plucked up my courage and said, “as a woman, I just want a husband who loves me. But if my husband is you, this dream is extravagant.”
“June…”
“President Jessop, let me remind you last time that Molly is the one who killed Henry. Although Henry is only a worker and you can easily compensate Henry’s wife for a lot of money, you can never change the fact that the three children lost their father.”
I finished and went to the little bedroom.
I fell asleep.
I was very disappointed with Sean.
After that day, although Sean came to my house occasionally, we were strangers.
We didn’t talk.
I posted my resume on the Internet, but basically I didn’t get a reply.
A few people called me occasionally. They would first confirm if I was June who framed my sister.
I was confused. It was such a small thing that even James and sherry didn’t know about it.
But now all companies in the industry knew it.
I knew someone must have done something in private.
For two weeks, I was desperate in my job search. Finally, I turned to part-time employees in fast-food restaurants or cafes.
I found several cafes.
Finally, I found a coffee shop in CBD downtown with an hourly salary of 3 dollars. If I deliver a takeout, they would give me an extra 70 cents.
Although the money was not much, I didn’t want to be a useless person.
Then I would look down on myself.
I had a meeting with the manager of the coffee shop to make an appointment that I would come to work next week. As soon as I arrived in the hall, I heard a voice,” a Mocha, hurry up.”
I could tell it was Angie.
I turned around and saw Angie standing in front of the counter. She didn’t look very well and she looked a little haggard.
I thought of Daniell. I embarrassed to say hello to her.
When she saw me, she was very impatient.”June, why can I see you everywhere?”
I guessed there was something wrong with Universe design co. LTD.
I didn’t care if she hated me. I asked her what happened.
Angie didn’t want to tell me at first.
Because the coffee hadn’t been made and I kept asking her, she finally told me.
I just knew that Universe design co. LTD was going to close down.
The cause was Henry’s death.
The house in which Henry died was a civil house. When the client learned that Henry had died in that room, he was angry and asked Daniell for compensation.
He said that people couldn’t live in houses where people had died. He wanted Daniell to buy the house at the market price, or he would take Universe design co. LTD to court.
