Chapter 193
Take advantage of him? Do I even need to beat him senseless if I want to take advantage of him? Besides, what can I even do when he's passed out? Jessica thought. "I'm trying to have a serious discussion."
Jessica turned her head and met Trevor's gaze. She was still blushing, but there was anger in her eyes.
He's obviously trying to make me feel embarrassed! she thought.
Trevor continued to ask seriously, "Sure, continue. What happens next? Grandpa thought you were taking advantage of me. Then, what happened after that?"
At the same time, he was trying his best not to laugh.
"He got angry and demanded you see him in the study tomorrow morning," Jessica said softly.
Old Mr. Gulliford has always beat Trevor. He had beaten Trevor again with his cane yesterday at the hospital. Looks like Trevor is going to get it too this time, Jessica thought. She felt sorry for Trevor, but there was nothing she could do.
"Hmm. So you knocked me out and wanted me to take the blame too. Ms. Lockett, you are really great at this," Trevor joked as he smiled and stared at her.
There was some stubbornness in Jessica's eyes as she stood up and said, "I'll go and tell Old Mr. Gulliford the truth."
She thought it was inappropriate that Trevor had to take the blame for her actions.
No matter what the reasoning is, I'm the one who caused this. There's no way I'll let him take the blame, so I'll take responsibility, she thought.

Trevor saw Jessica getting serious, so he quickly ran to her side and grabbed her hand.
"I'm just joking with you. Why are you getting serious?"
"But you are right. I can't let you take the blame."
Jessica tried to remove his hand, but Trevor tugged on her hand and pulled her into his arms.
"That's not true. I tried to lay my hands on you first, oryou wouldn't have knocked me out. This happens because of me, so I will end it, Trevor said as his eyes gleamed tenderly.
Jessica is my woman, so I'm willing to deal with anything for her. After all, this happens
because of me, Trevor thought.
After Jessica broke free of Trevor's grasp, she turned around and sat on the couch. She lowered her head and did not say anything else.
I wouldn't have knocked him out last night if I knew this would happen, she thought.
"All right. It's getting late. You haven't slept, right? You should go to bed early. I'm leaving, or you will have trouble falling asleep," Trevor said gently as he opened the door with his slender fingers.
Then, he turned around and left. His slender figure disappeared from the room.
Jessica took a deep breath as she pinched her forehead. Oh my gosh. How did things turn out like this? she wondered.
She only returned to help the Queen family, but she did not expect to be stuck at Trevor's side.
Both of them had trouble sleeping that night.
The next morning, Jessica was woken up by the housekeepers before she could even wake up herself. They told her that she had to attend some sort of banquet tonight.
Old Mr. Gulliford did not say anything yet, but Jessica could already guess it. He wanted to bring her to attend an upper class banquet, so she could know her place and back off. However, Old Mr. Gulliford did not know Jessica used to be a prominent member of every upper class banquet.
The title of Herington's Top Socialite
was not just for show. She had so
much power when she wielded the black card that the Queen family and Trevor had made for her, but she was also the SVIP of several
vee
international brands, all the leading fashion brands had to reserve a spot for her in each of their fashion shows.
That spot was solely reserved for Horington's Top Socialite.
Jessica was familiar with each brand's new product, its styles, and its characteristics, so she could keep up with the trends.
So, she used to be copied by all the celebrities in Horington.
