Need You Now

Chapter 139 Are You Praising Me

Early in the morning, Jessica was eating porridge, deep fried dough sticks and soybean milk at home leisurely. By her side, her parents were also eating breakfast.

"Jessica, you are not a little girl anymore. Heidy had become a big winner in her life. Although she has divorced before, her husband is excellent now and she will soon have a child. You should hurry up," Vicky said.

Jessica narrowed her eyes into a slit, pressed her lips and said with a smile, "Mom, my ears are getting tired. Heidy is a good girl, but I'm different from her. Different people had different fate. Maybe I'm not that lucky. Mom, don't worry about it. Just let nature take its course."

When her mother was about to continue her nagging, her father, Dean, smiled and said, "All right, don't push her again. Now that she had grown up, she knew what she wanted. Are you worried that you can't have a grandson? She is still young enough."

After Jessica gave him a thumbs up, she smiled and said, "Great! You are so smart, father. I'm such an outgoing, beautiful and generous woman. How could I not find a good man. Father, mother, I will find you a good son-in-law. As for now, I will take my time."

Vicky glanced at her and said, "You are really good at making dad and mom happy. I'm so glad that you can find someone nice."

While they were talking, Dean's phone rang. He took out his phone, listening to the conversation. He frowned. Seeing that, Jessica hurriedly asked, "Dad, what's wrong?"

"A student fight happened in the school. Two of them are injured and hospitalized. I have to deal with it right now," Dean said in a serious tone.

Jessica stood up in a hurry and said, "Father, let me handle this."

Dean looked at her in astonishment and asked, "You?"

After she wiped her mouth, Jessica nodded firmly and said, "Haven't you told me a few days ago that I have to inherit the company in the future. So, I have to adapt to it ahead of time. So, let me handle it."

Dean agreed after thinking for a while. "That's good. You are in your twenties and you should gain some experience. I'll ask my secretary to come with you later."

Before he finished his words, Jessica rushed out of the house. "I guessed she didn't want to hear me nag about her marriage, so she came up with this reason," Vicky said with a sigh.

Dean patted her on the shoulder and said with a bright smile, "Since you know what kind of person your daughter is, you don't have to worry about her. Our child has her own live. Don't push her too hard."

Vicky glared at him and scolded, "You spoiled her." She lowered her head and continued eating.

Then the secretary accompanied Jessica to the hospital. Looking at the young man who was lying in the bed and crying out of pain, Jessica walked up to him and took a glance at him. "Are you the boy who took the initiative to make trouble?"

Upon seeing her, the young man shouted, "I'm not making trouble. I was hit. Are you the one in charge? Just say it. As I was injured by Colin this time, I want him to compensate me for all kinds of losses."

When she heard his arrogant tone, Jessica cross her arms and said, "You are Herman, right? I have found out that it was you who took the initiative to provoke Colin and insult him with dirty words that made him get angry and beat you. You even hired other students to fight with you. If not for Colin's excellent skill, he would have been beaten to death. Your skill is not as good as him, so you want to slander him?"

Herman sat up angrily and stared at her, "It's none of your business. Who are you? How dare you talk to me like that. You know what? Now that Colin hurt me, he has to pay for my medical fee and mental damages. Otherwise, my family won't let him go."

What Jessica hated most was such kind of people who bullied the weak with the money of their family. At the thought of this, Jessica straightly walked up to him, grabbed his collar and said, "You brat, you are so arrogant. You two all have made mistakes in the fight. And Colin is injured. Call it even. Otherwise, I will beat you to be disabled."

Looking at the petite woman who was talking to him like that, Colin was about to slap her. However, she grabbed his wrist directly and turned it around. Colin immediately shouted for help.

Just then, two middle-aged people came in and immediately reprimanded, "Who are you? How dare you hurt my son? I will sue you."

"Fine, sue me then," But your son bullied a student. Don't ever think about getting away from it. I'm the person in charge of the school, and we don't welcome your son. Your son will not be allowed to enroll for all the schools under our company."

Hearing this, the middle-aged woman said with dissatisfaction, "That's not impossible. All the schools under your company are among the best in our country. We have money. Why don't you let my son go to your school?"

With her hands on her hips, Jessica raised her chin and said, "I don't care about money. Even if you don't give me money, I'll have tens of thousands of people waiting to get in my school. It's your son's fault this time. If you want to slander other students, you have to pay the price. Aren't you going to sue me? Just do it and I'll waiting for you."

"Who are you? What an attitude," the middle-aged man queried.

"It doesn't matter who I am. You just need to know that you won't get the upper hand in this matter," said Jessica in a tough tone.

The boy looked at her and said proudly, "Don't be too arrogant. My cousin is the vice president of the J.Y Group. If you dare to piss me off, you'll pay for your mistakes. Just like the JA Group. You should be careful."

Looking at his complacent face, Jessica sneered, "Do you think I'm afraid of the J.Y Group? "Are you insane? The reason why the JA Group lost its business is that Heidy put Jacob in prison. Vice President? It turns out that that brat Noah is your cousin," said Jessica angrily

Before she finished her words, Noah came out from nowhere. He smiled and said, "I heard you speak ill of me before I came in. Girl, how did I piss you off? You are so angry."

The nerves on her forehead were twitched a little. In disgust, Jessica said, "It's him, of course. They are a group of unreasonable people."

Walking up to her, Noah smiled and said, "I'm a reasonable man. Tell me, what happened?"

Jessica wasn't planning to tell him. But after a second thought, she decided to tell him what had happened. At last, she added, "Anyway, it wasn't Colin's fault. He tried his best to defend himself, and he was injured. Your cousin should be satisfied that Colin didn't ask him for compensation. And he even want to blackmail Colin."

The middle-aged woman walked up to her in a hurry and said, "Noah, you have to help your brother. This woman is very rude. She doesn't take us seriously."

"I've seen her a couple of times, but she never showed any respect to anyone," Noah teased.

"Don't be fooled by her. She is as hot as a bitch. You have to help me this time. Otherwise, how can I face my brothers in the future?" Herman replied at once. NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.

The middle-aged man echoed, "Yes, Noah. Although your company isn't in city, you're also the vice president of the J.Y Group. The woman thread us that she will not allow Colin to go to schools which are under her company's branch."

After thinking for a while, Noah said, "It's true that Herman should be responsible for what he had done. Herman, you should control yourself, or else you may get into bigger trouble in the future."

"No way! I can't let anyone beat my son like that. With the help of the J.Y Group, we don't have to be afraid of her," the middle-aged woman said with discontent.

Pointing at Jessica, Noah said slowly, "Let me introduce her to you. She is the best friend of Heidy, chairman of Hua Group."

Both of them were taken aback and remained silent. As far as they knew, Hearst loved his wife dearly.

Looking at them, Noah added, "Since both of you have suffered losses, we are even now. It's not a good thing that Colin will be put on the blacklist of her company because of this."

the middle-aged man thought for a while and then said, "Well, Noah, I agreed."

It never occurred to Jessica that the matter would be settled in this way. A few seconds later, an evil smile appeared on her face. She turned to Colin and said, "Don't bully others anymore." Then, she turned around and left.

After saying something to Colin, Noah left the ward. When he walked to the hall, he found that Jessica was leaning against the wall. "Are you waiting for me?" Noah was flattered.

Jessica smiled and said, "I didn't expect you to be so reasonable. I thought you would be as arrogant as your cousin."

When Noah stood in front of her, he leaned forward and asked, "So, are you praising me?"

"Of course, you can put it this way. Anyway, thank you for helping me out today. Otherwise, I might have spent more time dealing with it," said Jessica, with a smile on her face.

If it weren't for Noah, she would have needed to waste her time on this thing. It turned out to be a good result which could save her some time and energy.

"You are welcome then. Why don't you invite me for dinner?" Noah asked with a smile

"No way," Jessica refused straightforwardly, "I want to have dinner with a rich man like you. Rich people are extravagant and wasteful. I will die of hunger if I take you out for dinner."

"You sounded as if you were poor," Noah teased with a twist of his mouth. "Sure enough, rich people like to pretend to be poor when they have to invite others for dinner," Noah added.

Jessica slapped on Noah's shoulder and said proudly, "I'm not stingy. What would you like to eat? It's my treat."

A few words successfully changed Jessica's mind. Suddenly, Noah felt that although she was a little unruly, she was very cute. "Okay, it's a deal. Let's go," said Noah with a smile

Jessica paused for a few seconds with a bitter smile. Then she followed Noah.
