Chapter 10 Shattered
The Fabbri Group and the Hackett Group are equally matched and are both developing very well now.
When Quintus found out the matter was related to Yvonne, he used all his power to deal with them.
But he was still rational and did not go too far, so Stanley had time to find her.
Jessica went into the cloakroom and changed into comfortable clothes before going out to see him.
“Jessica, tell Quintus to stop immediately. There’s no need for both sides to suffer.” Stanley made the request as soon as he saw her.
“I was set up and humiliated yesterday, and he stood up for me. I can’t even thank him enough, and you still want me to tell him to call it off?” Jessica chuckled.
“Stanley, you never cared about me right from the start. Do you know what I went through last night?” The look in Jessica’s eyes darkened, and her face looked threatening.
“Yvonne just cried out in pain just a little, and you got so distressed.”
“I was dragged into a private room by them last night, forced to drink, and treated like a prostitute…” She wondered how he could not see such humiliation.
The more she spoke, the more aggrieved Jessica felt. Tears welled up in her eyes, but she smiled, “You never said anything that showed any care for me.”

Stanley’s face froze, “Yvonne didn’t mean it, she was just joking with you…”
“Are you kidding me?” Jessica sneered, “You’re telling me the drink I was forced to drink wasn’t wine?”
Then she stretched out her hand again, “Isn’t the wound on my hand a wound?”
“Jessica, aren’t you sober now? I will buy you the best medicine for the wound on your hand, and make sure it heals before the wedding.”
“Heh…” Jessica looked at the man in front of her and really didn’t know how she had fallen in love with him in her previous life.
“Go away. I’m not getting involved in Quintus‘ affairs. It’s his right to do whatever he wants.” Jessica ordered him to leave.
After saying that, she turned around and left without looking back.
“Jessica, if you tell him to stop, I will marry you!” Stanley shouted at Jessica’s back, “As long as Quintus doesn’t go all crazy, I will marry you.”
Jessica stopped walking and looked back, “Do you love her so much?”
He was willing to marry someone he didn’t love, for the sake of someone he did!
He actually loved her that much.
“How ridiculous would it be if one day he found out that he got the wrong person the whole time?” she thought.
“I’d only love her in this life!” Stanley said firmly, “She is my only love.”
It was because of love that he couldn’t bear to see her being threatened in
any way.

He knew Quintus‘ methods too well. If Jessica didn’t say anything, he would create trouble for Yvonne without leaving any trace, and it would
be extreme.
If he was careless, he might lose Yvonne!
He didn’t dare to gamble at all!
“I hope you will never change!” These words sounded like a joke to
Jessica.
Returning to the bedroom, she called Quintus.
The other end picked up the phone quickly, with his usual casual voice, “What’s wrong? Did you miss me?”
That was the first time she called him since her rebirth.
“About what happened last night, just call it off!” Jessica said after a long silence, “And thank you for last night.”
“Are you really protecting him like this?” Quintus spoke after a moment’s silence.
Jessica realized it later and hurriedly explained, “I just don’t want to cause any more trouble before the wedding.”
After all, in this life, she wanted Stanley to watch her marry someone else.
“Okay, as you wish,” Quintus replied, gritting his teeth.
After hanging up the phone, the two returned to their previous state.
On the eve of her wedding, Jessica was trying on her wedding dress in front of the mirror when a servant came to announce, “Mr. Fabbri is here.”

“I’m not seeing him.” Jessica refused without even thinking.
The bride cannot see the groom before the wedding.
“Jessica, I’m giving you a wedding gift, and you can’t even come out to see me?” Quintus‘ voice came from outside the door.
“I’m getting married tomorrow, what are you going to give me now?”
“I can’t guarantee I’d show up for the wedding tomorrow.” He said from outside the door, sounding helpless, “I’m going to go out and have fun.”
Jessica was anxious, “You dare!”
Quintus suddenly said jokingly, “Why? Do you really want me to watch you marry someone else?”
Jessica was stunned for a moment, and just as she was about to speak, Quintus‘ voice was fading, “As long as you are not afraid of chaos at the wedding tomorrow, I will come.”
After saying this, he left quickly.
“This is given to you by Mr. Fabbri.” Seeing this, the servant hurriedly placed the gift in front of Jessica.
She couldn’t wait to open it, and found cannoli inside!
She had loved cannoli since she was a child, but it was hard to find. She didn’t expect that he remembered it!

On the wedding day, the castle was decorated luxuriously and all the upper–class people in Atlanta came.
Everyone was talking about it because the invitations didn’t include the

groom’s name.
Although everyone knew that Thaddeus Lindholm’s daughter was going to marry Stanley, this was the first time they invitation without the groom’s name on it.
an
Just before the ceremony began, Stanley walked up to Jessica in a tuxedo.
The words spoken from his gentle and elegant face were extremely cold, “I am marrying you in name only. I still love Yvonne. I hope we can just be civil to each other from now on.
Yvonne stared at Jessica with red eyes. Her eyes were full of hatred.
And Quintus…
He leaned lazily at the entrance, with his usual mischievous smile on his face, but there was an unmistakable sadness in his eyes.
The MC came on stage and after his opening remarks, he said
passionately, “Now please welcome our bride, Ms. Jessica Lindholm, and her groom, Mr. Quintus Fabbri.”
As soon as the words dropped, everyone was shocked.
