Chapter 185

“Of course I am, I can make a million in just a few days if it goes up by twenty points,” she said.

Making a million in just a few days seemed like an easy task.

“It seems like you’re the one who wrote, directed, and acted in this play,” Jesse said with a cold gaze, as if he could see through her.

“But you gave me your tacit approval, didn’t you?” Jesse was speechless, as he did indeed tacitly approve of it.

However, his premise was not to trust her, but to see what she was up to, not to cooperate with her in this play.

Vergil was confused, as he saw Nydia as a vase who only knew how to provoke Jesse, with no brains but only beauty, being used as a gun by the Malones, but now she seemed different.

There was no more talking on the way back home.

After they arrived home, Nydia took a shower and took the initiative to bring the medicated oil to Jesse. “Can you apply some of this to my forehead?”

“Do it yourself,” Jesse refused.

“It’s better if you do it, it feels more comfortable,” she said.

“…” What kind of words were these?

“Come on, come on, I won’t scream,” she said.

Jesse wanted to curse. Every word she said seemed off.

“You made money from the play, so should I get a cut?” he asked, trying to divert attention. What if Nydia got angry and left?

“Why should I give you a share of the money I earned with my own ability?”

But Nydia had another thought.

“Alright then, you worked hard on this, took a lot of blame, let’s split it 60-40, you get 40 and I get 60, I got injured,” she said, pointing to her forehead.

Jesse didn’t expect Nydia to be so easy to talk to, she actually agreed.

“But I don’t want to sell so early. Our stocks are still strong, I want to keep them for a bit longer. After all, it’s hard to find such a low price. Are you in a hurry to split the money?”

“No hurry.”

“That’s good.” Nydia looked happy. “Let’s apply the medical oil.”

Jesse thought for a moment and decided to help Nydia apply the medical oil, otherwise she would keep bothering him. The sooner he finished, the better.

“I’m just helping you with the medical oil. Don’t play any tricks.” Jesse’s mood was also good today, because he could rip off Cade tomorrow.

“What tricks can I play? You always misunderstand me. I’m so sad.”

Jesse looked at her with a cold look, and she immediately stopped. “Let’s get started. I can bear it.” She closed her eyes.

Without eye contact, Jesse could take a good look at her face. Nydia didn’t have a pointed chin, but a standard oval face with smooth curves. He tried to compare it with his palm, and it seemed that her face was not bigger than his hand.

Her eyebrows were not thin and long, but had a slight peak, with a touch of pride in her composure.

His gaze fell on her lips along her nose bridge. Her lips were rosy and slightly pursed.

She suddenly opened her eyes. “Why haven’t you started yet?”

“What’s the hurry? Then you can apply it yourself.” Jesse used a harsh tone to cover up his guilty conscience.

“You apply it.” Nydia closed her eyes again.

He poured some medical oil into his palm, rubbed it until it was warm, and applied it to her forehead with controlled pressure.

It really hurt.

But Nydia didn’t scream, she just frowned and bit her lip, looking painful.

Jesse’s hand stopped when he saw tears in the corner of Nydia’s eyes.

Soon, he resumed and applied for a while before stopping.

“Done.”

Nydia opened her eyes, they were wet, like a wounded little deer.

Looking into those eyes, Jesse felt his heart was touched by the moistness, growing seaweed that entangled him, pulling him towards Nydia.
