Chapter 402 Come on, Let’s Hurt Each Other

Jesse’s body stiffened as he turned to look at her, his eyes already flickering with flames.

“You choose,” Nydia said, smiling and stepping back just enough to create some distance between them.

“You tease me and then want to run away?” Jesse asked, grabbing her as she tried to step away. “I’m not that easy.”

“Well then, what do you want? If we waste too much time here we’ll be late for the party,” Nydia challenged him.

There wasn’t much time left before the party started. If Jesse tried anything now they would definitely be late.

But instead of doing anything untoward, Jesse just smirked and pulled her close by the waist. “You have no idea what I want,” he said before kissing her deeply.

Nydia felt like she was losing all sense of breath as their lips locked together. When they finally broke apart she was dizzy and disoriented, but also bright-eyed and bushy-tailed.

Jesse felt like his body was wound up tight but managed to restrain himself nonetheless. He handed her a relatively conservative dress from his bag without saying anything else before rushing off again in a hurry.

By the time Nydia had changed into it all she saw were his red ears disappearing around a corner somewhere in front of her. She couldn’t help but laugh at how ridiculous he could be sometimes!

The dress itself was black with a slightly large collar that didn’t dip too low on the chest area; there were puffy sleeves that covered part of her arms while its length came down just below knee level – it looked good yet still conservative enough for an event like this one!

She tied up all of hair except for two strands which fell down loosely on either side of face after curling them lightly with tongs – it gave off an air both lively yet elegant at same time!

“I’m ready!” She announced when she finally caught up with Jesse who had been waiting impatiently outside for quite some time now…

Jesse couldn’t resist feeling hot under collar once again when he saw how beautiful Nydia looked tonight! There really wasn’t any way he could resist this woman…

“Are you satisfied now or do you need me to wear something more casual?” Nydia asked jokingly as they made their way towards where party was being held…

The event itself seemed pretty grandiose; there were many people invited so someone like Cade wouldn’t stand out too much amidst crowd since there were so many other rich & powerful individuals present here tonight!

When Jesse & Nydia arrived everyone’s attention immediately shifted towards them because they stood out so much! The necklace around Nydias neck alone must have been worth fortune – everyone around them couldn’t help but feel envious…”Jesse is really willing to spend money on Nydia. I remember seeing that necklace before, it costs over six million.”

“So she’s lucky, being spoiled by her parents before and now being spoiled by Jesse. She never has to worry about food or clothing and can live a life of luxury.”

“Someone like Jesse who is disabled is actually pretty good. He has fewer problems and plenty of money to spend, so why did Nydia end up with him?”

This statement was quite sour. When Jesse had his accident, many people thought he was ruined and didn’t want to marry him because who would want to marry a disabled person? But now they think being disabled is great!

Nydia always receives compliments on her looks when she’s with Jesse.

“Someone as beautiful as Mrs. Pascall would definitely be popular if she entered the entertainment industry,” said a wealthy woman in her forties who took care of herself well and wore a necklace around her neck that wasn’t as expensive as Nydia’s.

Her meaning was clear; she was referring to the trending topic on Twitter.

“Forget about entering the entertainment industry; there’s no need for it,” Nydia replied calmly.

“Mrs. Pascall, we need to realize our own value instead of constantly asking men for money, don’t you think?” She laughed while saying this but it made people uncomfortable.

“I didn’t ask him for money,” Nydia replied.

Mrs. Pascall looked surprised but became angry after hearing what came next:

“He transferred the money himself every once in a while; I can’t even use all of it.”

“What if he doesn’t want to give you any more? What if one day he gets tired of you? Men are all the same; they might be crazy about you one second but laughing at another woman the next.”

“That makes sense… how about we enter the entertainment industry together?”

The wealthy woman’s face suddenly changed completely when she heard this from Nydia.

“I’m too old for that kind of thing… don’t joke around,” she forced out a smile.

“It’s okay though! You could play roles like mom or grandma characters… or maybe even my mom?”

The smile on Mrs. Pascall’s face disappeared immediately.

“Wow Mrs. Pascall , your words are sharp! Your youthfulness and beauty are indeed your current capital . I hope you can maintain such arrogance when you grow old.”

“Thank you for your affirmation and encouragement.”

“…” The wealthy woman turned around and left!

Finally quiet again, Nydia had time talk with Jesse.”Do you have a plan for getting Cade’s fingerprints?”

“Later, I’ll need your cooperation.”

“Okay.”

Nydia followed Jesse to meet Cade. Initially, Cade was talking to someone else before they approached him.

“Mr. Malone.”

“Nydia, Jesse, you guys came too?”

“Uncle Malone, did my sister come? Is she feeling better?” Nydia asked.

“She’s resting and looks like she’s doing better. She should be able to return to work in a few days.”

At this point, a server arrived with a tray of drinks.

Jesse took one and toasted with Cade who also took one.

After clinking glasses together the server left them alone.

“Uncle Malone, the deadline is approaching in a month and I’ve already made up for all the losses,” said Nydia confidently.

Cade smiled back at her saying “You’re capable enough; I only agreed because there was no other way out of it otherwise those shareholders would have caused trouble for me. At that time I knew you could do it so I wasn’t too worried about it”.

“That sounds great,” Nydia replied nonchalantly.

“But what happened with hitting an old man?”

“It was just an accident,” Nydia replied flatly.

“Well then we need to explain things as soon as possible or else those uninformed netizens will come after you again which won’t be worth it”, warned Cade.

Recently Malone Group had been performing very well and he knew that this success was largely due to Nydia’s efforts so he didn’t want any negative news surrounding her reputation since he hadn’t realized how strong her ability at marketing products really were until now; if only he had discovered earlier then they probably would’ve earned even more money by now!

“Yeah Uncle Malone is right; I’ll solve this problem as soon as possible”, promised Nydia.

They chatted some more but when someone wanted to talk with Cade they walked away from him.

Nydia looked at Jesse curiously wondering how they were going get his fingerprints but Jesse just smiled mysteriously without saying anything back.

“If there isn’t anything else let’s head back home?”, suggested Nydia playfully.

“No rush yet – look over there – Acoustic Pictures’ boss is over there.”

She didn’t know who Acoustic Pictures’ boss was but if Jesse said so then she trusted him implicitly.

“Why are we going over there?”

“Just gonna chat – don’t worry though cause I got your back.”

Looking at Jesse’s face which seemed like he was hiding something mischievous made her feel uneasy but still she went along anyway. They walked towards Mr. Spencer from Acoustic Pictures while greeting him politely upon arrival..”Mr. Pascall, I never thought in my lifetime that I would have the pleasure of you initiating a conversation with me,” Joel Spencer grinned smugly and turned to the person next to him, saying, “See that? That’s Mr. Pascall from the Pascall Group. We’ve never talked before but now we have a chance. Say whatever you want to say.”

The person next to him was not as bold as Joel and simply nodded awkwardly at Jesse before making an excuse and leaving.

Joel was left with only his assistant by his side.

“I wonder what Mr. Pascall wants with me?” he asked while taking a sip of his drink, then his gaze landed on Nydia’s face after drinking which she caught immediately and did not like it one bit; she furrowed her brows in response.
