Spoiled By The CEO: Why The Wife Is Kinda Sweet?

Chapter 247 Overthinking Everything

With Julia’s reminder, Jessica finally reacted.

She murmured, “Right. As long as I’m still Shawn’s wife, I’m still part of the Miller family. They won’t

leave me like this. Make a phone call for me, Julia. Call Shawn.”

Julia nodded and went out.

Not long later, the phone call was done.

She walked in and said to Jessica, “Mr. Miller is on the way with his father. They must have already

heard the news of your arrest. He said they were almost here when I called him.”

Hearing that, Jessica heaved a sigh of relief.

Luckily enough, she still had the position of Mrs. Miller.

As much as Shawn didn’t love her anymore, out of consideration for the Miller family’s reputation, he

couldn’t stand by and watch her become a convict.

Julia stayed with her for a while. Not long later, Shawn and Henry arrived.

Jessica saw them and felt all her pent-up emotion burst out of her chest.

Her eyes reddened and swam with tears as she exclaimed, “Dad! Shawn.”

Henry was the same as always, with his lukewarm expression. He nodded.

“You two talk. I’ll go and pull some strings over there.”

Shawn nodded.

The Miller family did have connections in Julio, after all. Everyone knew that Jessica’s identity was

special, so they didn’t disturb them.

They emptied out the whole interrogation room to let them talk.

Jessica sat on her chair, all her sourness and resentment turning to tears and rolling down her cheek.

Shawn sat across her, looking at her coldly.

“You don’t think that you can solve everything by crying after making such a huge mess, do you?”

Jessica froze.

She put away her tears, lifted her head, and looked at him with misty eyes.

“I’m sorry for the trouble, Shawn. Thank you for coming to get me out. I promise I’ll keep it low-profile

from now on.”

Miller smirked.

“From now on?”

He sneered. “We’ll talk about the future later. Let’s go back to the present.”

Jessica nodded and pleaded, “Julia already requested bail earlier, but they wouldn’t let me. You have to

do something, Shawn.”

Shawn nodded back.

“I can get you out, but you need to cooperate with me, all right?”

Jessica nodded hastily.

“What do you need, Shawn? Anything you ask for.”

Shawn chuckled mockingly. “Where’s Natalia?”

Jessica was left speechless.

Her face changed, and the high-tension string in her brain snapped. Something buzzed inside her and

exploded.

She looked at him in disbelief. “Even you think I’ve hidden Natalia away?”

Shawn looked at her coldly. “I know what kind of person you are. I also know full well how much you

hate Natalia. On account of us being husband and wife, Jessica, if you tell me her whereabouts today,

I’ll save you. How’s that?”

Jessica suddenly found the whole situation absurd.

She’d never come across something so ridiculous in her life.

In her most dire straits, her own husband was forcing her to give up the location of another woman

before he would save her.

Jessica laughed out loud, her laughter growing more and more deranged as her tears fell.

She looked at Shawn like she was at a clown show.

“You don’t really think that Natalia will come back to you at this point, do you, Shawn?”

Shawn’s brow slashed downwards viciously.

This one touched a nerve.

“That has nothing to do with you.”

“Yes, of course it doesn’t have anything to do with me! I’m just your wife in all but name now, so you

can divorce me any day you want? But who do you think you are? You think that even if you force

Natalia’s location from me and swoop in to save the day, she’ll thank you graciously for it and reignite

your lost passion? Are you really this stupid, Shawn Miller? Forget imagining if Natalia would leave

Archie and choose you, but you couldn’t ever get your wish just from the fact that I don’t even know

where she is!”

She burst out cackling dementedly after she finished.

Shawn’s face went purple. Clenching his fist tight, he suppressed his rage enough to keep himself from

hurling this madwoman into a wall.

“You mean you don’t know where she is?”

“Of course! If I’d known, would I still be stuck here?”

“You’re lying! You kidnapped her!”

“Yes, that’s right, I kidnapped her, but she escaped midway. What? You’ve been thinking of her so

much, but she didn’t tell you how to contact her and where to find her? Hah! Look at what a joke you

are! You’re here overthinking everything while she’s off having a great time somewhere! I’d always

thought I was the dumb one, but turns out you’re an even bigger moron!”

At her mockery, Shawn’s handsome face turned an array of different colors.

His clenched fist crackled, knuckles white from exertion.

Finally, he sucked in a deep breath and stood.

Looking at the weeping, laughing woman whose body had gone slack, Shawn’s gaze had with it a bit of

disgust.

“You’re mad!”

With that, he went out without a trace of longing.

In the end, Shawn Miller didn’t end up bailing Jessica out.

Julia didn’t know what was going on, but she could see that something wasn’t quite right between the

two of them.

She was a woman of vision. After spending so much time in the industry, she knew exactly when to cut

her losses.

Jessica had gotten herself to this point and deserved everything she was coming to her. If even the

Miller family was abandoning her, as her agent, there wasn’t anything she could do to save her even if

she wanted to.

So Julia simply dropped a few official lines with Jessica and left as well.

Jessica sat there like her soul had gone out her body, looking like a completely different person.

She didn’t try to keep Julia at her side or ask for help.

She just sat there, head bent, and grunted woodenly.

Seeing her state, Julia knew that Jessica’s life was ruined. She’d had a bright future ahead of her, but

never managed to take her mind off the small grudges between two people, and paid for it with herself. Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.

She’d helped her plot along the side, but overall, she had wanted the best for her. She’d never wanted

to lay her this low.

Finally, she sighed helplessly and turned to leave.

When everyone had left, two officers walked over to escort Jessica to where she would be held

temporarily.
