wedge-
Jessica made a wish on Christmas Eve that year.
Someone took the place of Santa Claus and fulfilled her wish.
Of course she couldn't say that the other party was a friendly and kind race.
But she will always, always remember the gift the other party gave her.
…
Everyone in the city knows about the party Rod Morgan threw on Christmas Eve.
It will be the most extravagant feast in the whole city - it's like a magnificent party that only appears in fantasy stories.
No matter how many years have passed, people still talk about the high-end champagne that Rod Morgan used in his swimming pool and fountain, the naked girls who walked among the powerful, and of course, some The secret and dark pleasures and transactions that cannot be told in front of children...
For the past 20 years, Jessica has grown up hearing stories about Morgan's Christmas Eve parties.
But for Jessica, who had a poor life, neither Morgan nor that party were so far away from her.
After all, the Morgan family has been rooted in this country for three hundred years, and the wealth accumulated by this behemoth over a long period of time is astronomical.
As for Rhodes, the leader of this generation of the Morgan family, his luxury, his arrogance, his unexpectedness... all belong to the news, newspapers and social media.
Jessica could never have imagined that one day, she... would become a member of this luxurious queue.
And only after arriving here did Jessica realize that the Morgan family's Christmas Eve party could be more extravagant, chaotic and depraved than she had imagined.
The champagne fountain is real, the swimming pool filled with red wine and naked girls is real, the secret pleasures taking place in every corner of the manor are real—
The same goes for the regal Rod Morgan.
Jessica hid her figure behind the layers of firs. These fresh firs that had been transported here from cold areas still exuded the cold air of the north, and the dark green branches even had fragrances from the place of origin. of frost and snow.
God knows how much it cost to decorate this cold northern landscape with the tropical atmosphere of Morgan Manor...
Occasionally, for a moment or two, Jessica had such doubts.
As an ordinary person, she sincerely felt that there was something wrong with the landscape planner Morgan hired.
However, as the heir to the Morgan family, Rod Morgan probably wouldn't care about how much money this landscaper wasted on him.
Some people are born that way, they are born with a silver spoon in their mouth and have it all.
Precisely because they have too much, people like them almost don't care about anything - even the life of another person.
Jessica's eyes fell directly on Rod Morgan.
He was always the center of attention, and rightfully so.
Completely different from the fat-headed capitalist that people imagine, Rod Morgan has a face that can be described as handsome. His skin is smooth olive color, and with the joint efforts of senior nutritionists and fitness coaches, his body is tall and strong, and with slightly white blond hair, Rod Morgan looks like some kind of large carnivore. Animals are generally full of wildness.
This man always appears in various fashion venues and charity evenings. He has a bad reputation, but the main shortcoming always seems to come from his gossip...
Anyway, he doesn't seem like a bad guy.
This may be why Joan relaxed her vigilance towards him in the first place.
Jessica thought in her heart.
What was Joan thinking when she was drunkenly put into Rod Morgan's limousine
What was she expecting at that time
Whenever Jessica thought about this, she would feel a tearing pain in her chest.
Jessica touched her wrist subconsciously. There was a line of small letters there, which was Joan's name, and a date.
That date was Joan's death date.
Rod Morgan.
This man killed Joan.
Of course, legally speaking, Rod Morgan is a completely innocent man.
The team of highly paid lawyers he hired easily produced enough evidence to prove to everyone and the court that Jessica's sister, Joan, the young girl who came from a poor background and finally got into college, was actually a A stink full of ambition and greed.
The things Rod Morgan and his friends did to Joan...the damage...were all of her own free will.
And all Joan longs for is Rhodes' money.
The accusations made by the young girl later were all slander after the purpose was not achieved.
In the end, Rod Morgan left the court with a smile, surrounded by his friends and a group of lawyers.
Those self-controls were soon forgotten, and the focus was on his ever-changing female companions.
What awaited Joan was almost endless abuse and humiliation from others, as well as threats secretly instigated by Rod Morgan.
In the end, the innocent country girl ended her life in the cold bathroom after undergoing a long period of psychological treatment.
Jessica attended Joan's funeral.
After returning, she stayed in the room where Joan had been alive for a long time. That's when she heard that the service company responsible for Morgan's Christmas line was hiring party girls and waitresses.
Jessica signed herself up.
She knew she would be chosen.
Just like Joan, she has a pretty face and an equally nice figure. In the past, Jessica had never felt that these advantages of hers could bring her any benefit. But this time, Jessica began to be grateful for the appearance that God had given her. This gave her the opportunity to finally get close to the man named Rhodes. of devil.
This time, Jessica decided to use her own way to avenge Joan.
"Joan..."
Jessica murmured June's name.
After passing the interview, Jessica went to get herself a tattoo. The tattoo was still very fresh, and Jessica could feel the heat and sting on her skin when she touched it.
However, at this moment, what caused her more pain was her heart.
Jessica originally had a very detailed plan: she used a 3D printer to make herself a plastic gun.
Thanks to high technology, she can easily bring this plastic gun into the manor.
Jessica could then bring the gun into the party, hidden under her skirt, in her thigh.
As a waiter, she should be able to find a suitable position easily. She will find a way to take out the gun and use bullets to tell Rod that his money cannot buy everything.
Before that, Jessica's steps of bringing the plastic gun into the manor went very smoothly.
But that's all.
Jessica soon discovered that all hired female waiters must wear a uniform, which is a black leather coat and stockings that wrap the body tightly.
And they have to walk around in stupid stuffed bunny ears with a ball of stuffed hair sewn onto their butt.
Jessica had no intention of criticizing Rod Morgan's old-fashioned aesthetic.
The only thing she wanted to curse was that leather jacket... Under the tight leather jacket, even a trace of fat was very obvious.
It would be nearly impossible for Jessica to bring a gun into a party without anyone noticing.
Yes, that's why Jessica is now hiding behind a fir tree with a blank expression.
She had to admit that her plan had failed... In fact, even if there was no problem with the uniform, just seeing the security personnel surrounding Rhodes, she realized that there was no way she could kill Rhodes... Morgan.
After Christmas Eve, Rod will return to his mansion, and he will continue his happy life of playing and singing every night, while Jessica can only go back to her cheap apartment and cry silently while looking at Joan's portrait.
Just thinking about this scene, Jessica felt as if her heart was about to be torn apart.
Almost when Jessica could no longer control her emotions, she hid here and cried loudly.
Suddenly she heard a rustling sound coming from the fir trees.
Immediately afterwards, several white shadows flashed like ghosts.
"Well-"
Jessica was startled, and the tray in her hand almost fell to the ground uncontrollably.
"careful… "
The next second, Jessica heard a soft voice.
Then someone reached out and helped Jessica stabilize the tray.
Thankfully, with that man's help, Jessica at least no longer had to pay for those expensive crystal cups when she failed to assassinate Rhodes.
"Thank you very much-"
Jessica said hurriedly, she simply didn’t know how the man appeared.
After thanking her repeatedly, Jessica raised her head and met the face of the visitor.
She couldn't help but be stunned.
It was different from what she had imagined. She had thought that at such a party and in such an environment, the people coming out of the woods would be nothing more than disheveled men and women.
However, what appeared in front of her now was a man with an extremely handsome face.
It's hard to tell the age of that man. He looks extremely young, but the aura lingering around him is extremely mature. The eyes and hair are black, but because of his overly handsome appearance... From Jessica's perspective, she couldn't even tell whether the other person was an Oriental or a Westerner.
Even the gender of the other person was determined by Jessica's suit.
Are you a celebrity or a model
Jessica couldn't help but guess this the first time she saw the other person, but she quickly rejected that idea.
That man's temperament is different from that of celebrities, models, or anyone else in the world.
There was a strong, inhuman aura about him, like an elf or a ghost walking out of the woods.
And if there really is a celebrity or model with such a face, Jessica is sure that he will become famous all over the world. At least, Jessica will not feel so strange to him.
Not to mention, celebrities and models will not take their children with them so easily and then appear on such occasions.
Yes, that man was surrounded by three similar-looking children.
The children looked about four or five years old. They looked almost identical, maybe they were triplets.
Just like the extremely handsome man, these children are also unusually cute.
The silver hair may have come from her mother, but the dark pupils and beautiful facial features were more similar to those of a man.
At this time, the three children seemed to be a little afraid of strangers, clinging tightly to the man's legs, then cautiously tilted their heads and looked at Jessica.
It was clear that not long ago, he was immersed in hatred for Rod Morgan and longing for Joan, but after seeing those children, his extremely depressed mood gradually faded away like dark clouds blown away by the wind. .
Although she knew it was very rude, Jessica still couldn't help but look at the father and son in front of her.
After a while, Jessica noticed her sluggishness. She immediately came to her senses and apologized to the man in a panic: "I'm sorry... Is there anything I can do for you?"
She barely remembered her current identity, mustered up her energy, forced out a business smile, and said to the man.
"It's nothing, it's just that my children have never seen a fir tree. I'm just here to take them around..."
The man didn't seem to notice Jessica's dullness just now, and he explained to Jessica very gently.
Then he pointed to the party scene not far away, which was gradually becoming a bit unsightly.
"...and it's relatively quiet here. That party was really not suitable for children."
After the words fell, a faint smile appeared on the man's lips.
Jessica felt like she was in a trance. She had never seen such a beautiful man before.
"Oh, I know. After walking through the woods, there is a specially decorated ice and snow cabin over there. They decorate a Christmas tree there. Although it is not a venue exclusively for minors, but... I don't think any adults would There, I can take you there if you like, and I can bring you some desserts and drinks from the party.”
Jessica said hurriedly.
"This is really great, thank you..."
The man immediately smiled with relief.
As soon as she saw that smile, Jessica felt herself becoming more and more dizzy.
Just as she said, she led the man and his lovely children to the ice cabin...
Just as Jessica had guessed before, although this small piece of landscape cost a lot of money, the vast majority of people were attracted by the party.
The place is now deserted and deserted.
After seeing the Christmas tree decorated with beautiful ornaments, Jessica heard the man's child let out a small, adorable cheer.
"Dad...it looks delicious!"
The boy who looked to be the youngest chirped.
"You can't eat this..."
The man said to the boy very patiently.
"But, Daddy said, if we come here, we will have a lot of delicious food..."
Following the boy was a little girl, who spoke childishly.
"I'm a little hungry."
Just as Jessica was looking at the man's child in a daze, the last boy suddenly said.
After the voice fell, he turned his head and stared at Jessica blankly.
"I'll bring you some food right away!"
Jessica jumped up and she said quickly.
... She didn't notice that the man in front of her put his hand on her child's shoulder intentionally or unintentionally.
The man's eyes paused on Jessica's nameplate on her chest, and then he called out Jessica's name.
"Thank you, Jessica."
No one could refuse the man's smile and gaze, and Jessica felt as if her head was filled with tang.
She hurriedly left the cabin in the woods and returned to the party, preparing some food and hot drinks for the three cute children...
But when she returned to those carefully built ice and snow huts, the only people staying there were the man's three children and another somewhat dull white-haired boy.
Jessica looked at the boy in surprise. He looked exactly like the triplets. The boy was also strikingly similar to the man.
And the boy actually claimed that he was also a man's child.
He calls himself Arthur and takes good care of his three children. .
When the boy and the triplets were together, there was a strange and inaccessible atmosphere surrounding them.
Jessica no longer had that ecstatic feeling. On the contrary, when four almost identical beautiful faces stared directly at her with dark eyes, Jessica found that she could not help but Had a cold war.
This is a bit hard to say, but when she faced four children... she did feel creepy.
She quickly put down the food she had prepared, and then fled the area of the Ice and Snow Lodge.
"Hey you-"
When she returned to the party, the female manager in charge of reception stopped her very sternly.
"What are you doing? I have been observing you for a long time. You have been hiding next to me all night, lazily and in a daze... "
The manager's cheeks were tense, and his gray eyes were poking back and forth on Jessica's body like frozen awls.
"I met a guest and he had a child with him, so I..."
Before Jessica finished speaking, she was directly interrupted by the female manager.
"Please stop with your lame excuses for being lazy... Kids? I never knew anyone with kids would be invited to the Morgans' party..."
"But, I really..."
Jessica subconsciously tried to explain.
"Please shut up, Morgan's Christmas party never invites nice people with families... This is such a stupid excuse."
Just like before, the female manager didn’t even finish listening to Jessica’s words, so she spoke sternly: “Your name is Jessica—”
She glanced at Jessica's badge coldly.
"If you just want to be lazy because of your beauty, you should strip yourself naked and lie down in a pool of wine. If you keep clothes on, you have to work."
She said stiffly.
Seeing the housekeeper's very sure look, even Jessica herself had a hint of doubt.
After all, the mysterious and ethereal aura surrounding the man she saw in the fir forest was indeed incompatible with Rod Moore and this scumbag.
But just when Jessica was thinking this, she unconsciously turned her head and looked at the extravagant party.
The next second, she stared blankly at the center of the party with her eyes wide open.
That man…
Jessica almost shouted.
Even Jessica herself didn't expect that she would see the man again at the party so soon.
Of course, the man's beauty itself made him the focus of everyone's attention... But the fact that he became so conspicuous at this moment had nothing to do with the man beside him.
That's right, the person standing next to the man now is none other than Rod Morgan.
As soon as she saw Rod Morgan staring at the man, Jessica felt as if her blood was frozen.
As a woman and the sister of a victim, Jessica would never mistake the look on Rod Morgan's face.
He had dark and dirty thoughts about that man.
Although Rhodes has never shown any tendency to t0ng'x-in'l-ia:n, the female companions around him are always changing their clothes...
But now, the way he looked at that man could only be described as salivating.
"That man..."
Jessica whispered tremblingly.
The female manager's brows furrowed tightly, and she followed Jessica's gaze and turned back to look at her master.
Just like Jessica, she saw the man next to Rhodes at a glance.
"Oh, that person..."
The female manager's tone suddenly became complicated.
"She is quite good-looking. Mr. Rhodes would like this type."
The female manager said grimly.
Then she glared at Jessica with warning.
"That guy does have a nice face, but you know what kind of people are going to be around Mr. Morgan... You'd better put away your little thoughts and work hard. "
After speaking, the female manager pushed Jessica.
Then she smoothly took the tray from the waiter next to her and placed it in Jessica's hand.
"If you still want a tip tonight, you'd better listen to me - do your job."
The housekeeper said every word.
Jessica walked into the extremely noisy crowd step by step with the tray in hand.
Although the housekeeper had warned her, she still couldn't control herself and looked at the man from time to time.
By the time she noticed it, she had unconsciously moved closer to Rod Morgan by virtue of her status as a waiter.
If it were normal, the waitresses who tried to attract Rhodes' attention would have squeezed her out, but now, almost everyone was a little absent-minded.
"... Damn it, why is he here?"
When passing by an elite man in a suit and tie, Jessica heard the guy murmur.
Jessica subconsciously pricked up her ears and listened carefully to the man's whisper.
Sure enough, the man's companion immediately started asking questions.
"Do you know who this person is? Oh my God, that's really a beauty!"
"That guy is actually quite famous... His name is Lin Xi. I heard he is the head of a private organization in the United States... But I heard that he has been with 'that guy' in the UK before. Who knows how he could Show up here…”
While the two people were talking, Rod Morgan suddenly raised his hand and pressed heavily on Lin Xi's shoulder.
It seemed that this was just a purely friendly move, but everyone who knew Rhodes' nature knew what this move meant.
Jessica's hand shook and she almost dropped all the wine in the tray to the ground.
Fortunately, no one noticed her gaffe at this time.
The man who was still discussing Lin Xi's gossip before gasped.
"Isn't Rhodes crazy? He should know that guy is... Oh my God, he actually dares to attack Lin Xi..."
The man murmured.
