Spoiled By The CEO: Why The Wife Is Kinda Sweet? novel Chapter 145

“Ah—Don’t come over! Don’t come over!”

All the lights in the room were turned on.

Jessica huddled up in Clara’s arms. Clara patted her gently on the back, heaving a sigh.

“Silly girl, it’s nothing serious. Look carefully. That’s just the curtain. You didn’t close the window when sleeping, so the wind has blown the sheer curtain. The hands you mentioned were just the sheer curtain.”

As Clara spoke, she asked Jessica to take a look herself.

Jessica looked over carefully for a while, only to find that the ghost that she mistook was truly the sheer curtain.

She breathed a deep sigh of relief.

“Did I really have an illusion?”

“You must be quite stressful recently.”

In fact, Clare felt quite speechless when she saw how Jessica was frightened by a curtain at the midnight and woke up everyone in the house.

However, looking at Jessica’s pale face, she didn’t have the heart to blame her.

She patted Jessica on her hand. “All right. Stop thinking too much. Nothing is there. Go back to sleep.”

Then, Clara left with a group of people.

Jessica was standing motionlessly. Her lips parted, but she couldn’t utter any word.

Aleena glance at her to calm her down and left.

In the corridor, Clara suddenly paused. She asked Aleena, “Has Jessica been contacting people from Eqitin? How is it going?”

Aleena answered respectfully, “The test has been done. They haven’t given us the response yet, but that thing has been confirmed as real. I’m sure there will be the feedback soon.”

Clara frowned, obviously unhappy about it.

Hurriedly, Aleena continued, “After all, she’s been missing over twenty years. It’s normal for them to be cautious. That’s a super-rich and powerful family. If they have confirmed that Jessica was their child, they wouldn’t ignore her.”

Clara snorted loudly.

“This matter is relevant to the whole Dawson family. I can’t let anything go wrong. Jessica’s future and the future of our family both rely on it. You better be more careful.”

Aleena answered immediately, “I know, Mom.”

Clara didn’t speak anything, walking away with the group of people.

Aleena gazed in the direction where Ariana had gone, exhaling gently.

Philip walked up from the back and sneered.

“It’s me who managed to marry that Hawkins woman so that our Dawson family could be rich and powerful now. But what does she do? She wants to give such a huge family and business to that brat. She doesn’t care about me at all. How despicable!”

Aleena curled up her lips slightly.

“What’s so important about the Dawson family?” She looked down slightly, curling up her lips into a scheming smile.

“If this matter succeeded truly, our Jessica would become a rich and powerful girl. By then, not to mention the Dawson family, even the Kaur family and the Miller family would kneel to us and flatter us. Philip, you must have a long-term vision. If you always care about the small profits in front of you, you wouldn’t have a good ending.”

Philip listened to her, and his eyes lit up.

“I agree with you. We must make this matter successful. No accident is allowed.”

When they walked back to their bedroom, enormously proud of their success, Aleena suddenly paused her pace.

“What’s this?”

On the nightstand, there was a white delicate gift box, on which there was a bowknot made from a pink ribbon. Obviously, someone deliberately put it there.

“Philip, is it you?” asked Aleena delightfully.

She thought that it was a gift from her husband, who wanted to give her a surprise.

However, Philip frowned.

“No, it’s not.”

As he spoke, he looked at Aleena in confusion.
