“Didn’t we still recruit for this position a few days ago?” Peter inquired while shooting a glance at the secretary.
The secretary instantly understood. “Ah, that’s right. We’ve been recruiting for this position for a long time, but we haven’t found any suitable candidates yet.”
“Hurry up and show Ms. Campbell the way.” When Peter saw that the secretary was so perceptive, his expression returned to normal.
“Yes!” The female secretary quickly nodded before turning to look at Jessica with a smile.
“Miss Rodriguez, this way please.”
“Alright!” Jessica nodded repeatedly. Then, Jessica turned around and looked at Marina, who was sitting on the sofa.
“Go ahead.” Marina smiled at Jessica.
Jessica took heart of grace instantly and nodded heavily.
Jessica left Peter’s office with the female secretary.
After Jessica’s figure completely disappeared outside the door, the smile on Marina’s face disappeared.
Marina raised her head and looked at Peter seriously.
“I’ll leave Jessica to you. Take good care of her. I will hold you responsible if she suffers any grievance!”
“Leave her to me at ease. No one can bully her with me here,” Peter replied with absolute conviction.
“Okay.” Marina nodded. Although Peter often joked, on matters of importance, he was very dependable.
“By the way, there’s one more thing I need your help with,” Marina revealed her second purpose for coming here today.
“Feel free to say it.” Peter looked at Marina’s suddenly serious expression and immediately put away his devil–may–care attitude.
In the hospital.
Richard lay on the bed with a pained expression. Everyone from the Grayson family was surrounding the bed.
They all looked at Richard worriedly.
“It hurts. Dad, it really hurts…” Richard cried.
“Be good. The doctor has already given you the best medicine. You won’t feel any pain soon.” Ellison was very worried when he saw how painful Richard was.
“It’s all because of these two bitches, Jessica and Caroline. Dad, you have to avenge me. You have to kill those two bitches!” Richard raged, his eyes filled with hatred.
“Do not worry, I will definitely avenge you!” Ellison promised firmly.
The doctor had just told Ellison that Richard was completely crippled.
Although Richard’s life was not in danger, he was no longer able to have children in the future.
To make matter worse, Richard was Ellison’s only son.
Ellison would definitely not let this grudge rest.

Chapter 84
After Ellison came out of the ward, he called Alan directly and said that if they did not hand over Jessien, Ellison would join forces with his peers from all walks of life and directly ban the Rodriguez Group.
When Alan received this call, he was so anxious that he almost threw his phone out,
After calming down, Alan immediately called Sophia back home.
Sophia had been busy preparing for the wedding for the past two days,
When Sophia returned, she looked at Alan with dissatisfaction. “Dad, I’m busy now. What can’t I tell you over the phonet Why must you ask me to come back?”
“Do you know where Jessica is?” Alan was furious.
“Jessica? I don’t know. Isn’t she at home?” When Sophia heard Jessica’s name, a hint of guilt passed across her eyes,
However, Sophia quickly suppressed it.
“Hmph! She caused trouble and didn’t go home at all!” Alan gritted his teeth.
“Trouble? What kind of trouble did she cause?” Sophia’s expression changed at once.
“She beat up Richard. Richard is being hospitalized now. Ellison called me just now demanding an explanation. We either hand over Jessica or wait to be oppressed by the Grayson family and the others together!” Alan said, exasperated.
“Richard was beaten up and is being hospitalized now?” When Sophia heard this, a trace of surprise instantly flashed across her eyes.
However, the feeling of surprise quickly turned into disdain.
Richard was a grown man, yet he couldn’t win Jessica in a fight.
Such a loser actually had this delusional pipe dream of getting together with Sophia and constantly pestered her.
“The Grayson family really thinks that they can do whatever they want in Solemwood. Doesn’t Ellison know that my future son–in–law is the heir of the Campbell family? How dare he threaten me? Sophia, tell Gordon that the Grayson family looks down on us and wants to suppress us!” Alan enunciated each word clearly.
“Dad, there’s no need to involve Gordon in this matter. Moreover, this was originally Jessica’s fault. Let’s not make a splash on this issue. Let’s just hand Jessica over to the Greyson family. After all, it wasn’t easy for the Campbell family to agree on the marriage. If something happens at this time and ruins the wedding, it won’t be worth it.”
Sophia spoke gently.
“That’s true. The most important thing in our family now is your wedding with Gordon. But I don’t know where Jessica is hiding. I can’t find her at all!” Alan gritted his teeth.
As expected, a bitch’s daughter would be a bitch. Other than causing trouble for Alan, Jessica really couldn’t help at all.
Sophia was different, however. She was so capable to marry into the Campbell family.
After the Rodriguez family and the Campbell family really became in–laws, nobody would dare to look down on Alan then.
“Don’t worry about this. I’ll get Gordon to help me look for her,” Sophia said.
“Alright, you have to hurry. Based on Ellison’s tone, he doesn’t seem to be very patient,” Alan instructed.
“Alright, got it,” Sophia replied and left with her bag then.
After leaving the house, Sophia immediately took out her phone and called Gordon.

Chapter 84
“Gordon, Jessica had a fight with my dad and ran away from home. I’m a little worried about her. Could you help me find out where she is now?” Sophia’s voice was especially gentle.
There was even a hint of coquettishness.
“Alright. I’ll wait for your news.” Sophia nodded repeatedly after Gordon agreed to her request.
After Sophia hung up, the gentle smile on her face was instantly repliced by vicious looks.
Jessica, you are courting death this time.
“Of all people, you had to offend Richard.” Sophia thought to herself.
The Grayson family was most protective of their family members. Moreover, Richard was the only heir.
Since Jessica made Richard hospitalized, the Grayson family would definitely not let her off.
Sophia was about to marry the Campbell family.
With such an illegitimate sister, it was such a great shame for Sophia.
Sophia would take this opportunity to resolve this hidden threat before her marriage.
Sophia sneered and got into the car.
What Sophia didn’t know was that Marina was currently sitting leisurely in Peter’s office.
In front of Marina were several computers.
Each computer displayed red and green curves.
These were the shares trends charts of the Grayson family and the Rodriguez family.
Marina looked up at the window.
The wind was blowing.
Trouble was also brewing. Both the Grayson family and the Rodriguez family would go bankrupt.
