?Chapter 317:


    She then smiled warmly at Jessa. “We’re not going to call the police or have you locked up.”


    Looking at her smile, Jessa finally calmed down and breathed a long sigh of relief.


    “Thank you, Cathy.”


    Jessa wiped away her tears and said, “I knew you wouldn’t me me.” After saying that, she looked apologetically at Kristopher and said, “Mr. Cox, I hired an actor to trick you… I apologize! I realize I was wrong. I’m truly sorry!”


    Kristopher merely squinted at her, saying nothing.


    Seeing no response from Kristopher, Jessa turned back to Cathy and said, “Cathy, I was… just terrified to hear you were back in the hospital. I’d feel terrible if it was my fault…”


    “It has nothing to do with you being in the hospital.”


    Cathy sighed again and rified, “Miss Nelson misunderstood, thinking I had orchestrated those online trolls as revenge. Honestly, I don’t care about the nasty things she said about me…”


    She nced toward Kristopher instinctively and continued, “But those people she hired went on to say Kristopher cheated on her and called him terrible names…”


    Cathy wiped her tears as she said, “I just felt so upset and frustrated hearing them nder Kristopher like that…”


    “Mr. Cox.”


    In the corridor, Marc had taken care of all the arrangements. As soon as he stepped into the ward, he found Cathy and Jessa—one leaning against the head of the bed in tears, and the other kneeling on the floor, also crying.


    Marc was taken aback and nced at Kristopher in confusion. “This…?”


    Kristopher, who had been leaning against the doorway, shifted his gaze from Cathy and turned to Marc. “Did you manage to make all the contacts?”


    ???????????? с???ρ???????? g???????ν??????[.]?????


    “Yes,” Marc replied earnestly. “Miss Nelson has already left her ce. She mentioned she was near Cox Manor and would arrive in about twenty minutes. But…”


    Marc hesitated before continuing, “Miss Nelson made a request. She wants you to bring Miss Miller—and Miss Miller’s agent, Jessa—along with you.”


    Kristopher raised his eyebrows, questioning, “With Jessa?”


    “Yes, Miss Nelson mentioned she has some unresolved issues with Jessa.”


    Marc went on, “I asked Miss Nelson about the nature of these personal matters. She said we’d understand once we get there.” With that, Marc scratched his head, clearly puzzled, and nced at Jessa. “I can’t see much of a connection between Miss Nelson and Jessa.”


    “Cathy is what links them.”


    After uttering these words indifferently, Kristopher walked into the ward.


    Kristopher’s deep, cold voice cut through the women’s tears. “Jessa, stand up. Cathy and I have moved past our previous issues.” At his words, Jessa’s tears stopped immediately, and she looked up at him in astonishment. “Mr. Cox, thank you.” Her guess had been right. Kristopher deeply cared for Cathy. Despite her faults, he was willing to overlook them.


    Before Jessa could hide her smile, Kristopher said indifferently, “I’m taking Cathy to my grandfather’s ce to sort something out. You’reing too.”<fnf9b2> The rightful source is find?novel</fnf9b2>


    Jessa was stunned for a moment before responding hesitantly, “I don’t think that’s a good idea.”
