Billionaire Defiant Wife

Chapter 765: Her Past Was So Deplorable

Yuki was full of uncontrollable rage and clenched her fingernails deeply into her hand palms. But no matter how mad she was, she held it back since Maeve was watching.

Maeve looked at Avery meaningfully. As she thought, Avery was really a tough enemy.

If Avery wasn't the princess of B Country, Maeve wouldn't show her any courtesy since if anything should happen to Avery, a war might be triggered between B Country and the Ancient Country.

Thinking, Maeve smiled. As she was about to say anything, a maid brought over a satin brochure. She said, "Miss Black, this is the show list for Yama Thorn Bug Festival.

Maeve took it over and took only one look before handing it over to Evan. She said, "George, have a look."

Maeve gave Evan the brochure, so naturally like he was close to her.

Evan neither took it nor looked at Maeve, which put her in an awkward position. Then she gave the brochure to Avery, saying, "I heard that Your Highness is blessed with exceptional talents. I would like to hear your input."

Avery knew Maeve didn't mean to get her advice. Her intention was to let everyone forget about Yuki and what she did. But Avery already planned to drop the matter.

So Avery took the brochure over and flipped it through. But she remembered the contents.

Avery said, "It's wonderful. I don't have any problems with it."

Maeve was also content with it. So she asked the maid to leave.

The meal was as tiresome as Avery had expected.

After Avery struggled to finish the meal, Maeve came up with excuses convincing Avery to stay, to which she firmly refused.

Avery didn't want to stay because she didn't know what more evil plans Yuki had in mind.

To avoid being seen leaving together, Evan and Avery returned to their separate residences.

Avery went to see her daughter in the east wing before she came back. Then she sent a text with the picture of Evan holding her lingerie. Avery felt her veins bursting because of the cloak and dagger.

When did he take this photo? Avery reached in her pocket, and the lingerie was still there.

Avery knew Evan wanted her to come over. But the place was swarmed with guards. But the place was swarmed with guards. How could she come to his?

Avery was disturbed and flipped through other messengers. Among them was one from Jamie Winter. It read, "Miss Peters, I have a request. I know it will put you in a pickle. But I have to ask you to save Jessica. I'm worried James Moore will hurt her."

Avery pinched between her eyebrows with the index finger and thumb. She thought for a second and replied, "I can help you. But Jessica has to be willing to accept my help."

The night was pitch dark, and the stars were not seen.

On the bed, a small head was buried in the white satin quilt. She murmured and turned around. Suddenly, she felt something was wrong and sat up. She looked around with watery eyes and soon realized this was a room she didn't know.

She looked left, and there was nothing. But the slight wrinkles suggested someone slept here.

So Jessica wasn't dreaming when she felt someone was lying beside her, and holding her so tight that she couldn't breathe. Who could it be? Where was this place?

Jessica was frightened in strange environments.

Jessica tried to recall what had happened. The doctor said depression would worsen her memory and get slower in motions.

But Jessica thought of the strange man soon, one she felt oddly familiar with.

He took Jessica in the car. She lost her memory from there.

Jessica looked underneath the quilt. She didn't wear anything apart from lingerie.

Jessica's face was frozen. Her look was pale. She couldn't help wrapping herself in the quilt. Then there were sounds of footsteps outside the door.

Hearing that Jessica woke up, an elderly maid supervisor came in with two younger ones. It was known that James bought a woman to spend the night in the mansion.

The maid supervisor's look was cruel and harsh. She checked up and down at Jessica like she was a commodity.

One young maid couldn't help getting surprised, saying, "What's she doing here?"

The other said, "Do you know her?"

She responded, whispering, "Master James bought a sex slave from the black market before. She escaped later. That's her. How surprising that Master James takes her back."

"Sex...slave?"

The other maid looked less surprised than jealous. She was envious that Jessica could get intimate with James.

One maid said, "But she did a physical check the second she was brought back to see if she was ill."

The other maid said, "She does have looks of a bitch. No wonder she makes men fall head over the toe for her."

The maid looked at Jessica's cold yet gorgeous face, and couldn't get more jealous. She said, "But what about Miss Darling since Mater James buys her back?"

Jessica suddenly looked up, hearing "Miss Darling" and got emotional, yelling, "Miss Darling? Where is she? Tell me, where is she?"

Erin Darling grabbed the jade bracelet Jessica's brother left. She had to get it back.

Jessica's emotional outburst scared the two young maids. They looked at each other and decided to make fun of Jessica. One said, "Do you want to speak to Miss Darling? For what?"

Jessica had no idea what they planned to do. All she wanted to do was get back the bracelet as soon as possible and stay away from here and the odd man.

Then Jessica nodded, saying, "I want to see her. I have to see her."

The two younger maids exchanged looks and did the talking. One said, "Who do you think you are? You're a sex slave Master James bought home. Don't you think you deserve to meet Miss Darling because Master James bought you again?"

"Bought again?" Jessica looked up with a confused look, "What do you mean I was bought back again?"

The maid finally got the opportunity to tread all over on Jessica and her life. She said, "You used to be the sex slave Master James bought from the black market. You will suffer that he captures you."

The elderly maid stopped them from talking, saying, "Okay. We're in no position to judge the master. Let's serve Miss Clifford and wash her clean."

Then she left.

Jessica kept playing back what the two maids said in her mind. She was a sex slave James bought.

She didn't realize her tears fell when she heard the two words.

Her past was so deplorable!

The two maids were putting water in the bathtub. Jessica could hear how they laughed and talked in the bathroom.

The louder their voices were, the more freely they felt to talk without consequences. Jessica felt cold though she was covered in the quilt. She unknowingly curled up and hugged herself tightly.
