Chapter 3 I Want You to Get Out of Atlanta
It was already the next day when Jessica woke up. A small bruise on her arm ached slightly.
“Who notified you yesterday?” She asked reluctantly, suppressing the bitterness in her heart.
The nanny who was serving her oatmeal paused when she heard this and spoke with some difficulty, “It was Mr. Fabbri. He saw you fainted and carried you all the way to find the family doctor.”
Every servant in the house knew that Jessica liked Stanley, but many people saw what happened yesterday.
The news had already spread among the servants and was no longer a
secret.
“Quintus Fabbri?” Jessica was stunned.
“Yes!” the nanny affirmed.
Jessica recalled the scene she saw before she fell into a coma and asked in confusion, “What was his expression at that time? Did he say anything?”
The nanny thought for a moment and said, “He didn’t say anything, but he looked very worried when you fainted. He was afraid you wouldn’t wake up. Even the family doctor was frightened by his expression.”
She imitated Quintus‘ behavior and said, “Take care of her immediately. If the young lady loses even a single hair, I will make you get out of Atlanta.”
This minor injury actually caused Quintus to make such a fuss, and

Jessica felt a strange warmth in her heart.
She was indeed not seriously injured, but during her recovery period, all media outlets in Atlanta were spreading the story of how the overbearing president Stanley Hackett had fallen in love with the butler’s daughter.
The city buzzed with excitement, and many netizens sent their blessings.
Yvonne also became a household name in Atlanta as a Cinderella of sorts.
“Ahhh, the real–life version of the Domineering CEO falling in love with
- me.
I don’t have to worry about TV dramas being lies anymore.”
“Oh my god, Mr. Hackett is so high–profile, so afraid that we don’t know that he likes the butler’s daughter.”
“So sweet, so sweet. Mr. Hackett bought Yvonne Lyons a truckload of luxury goods.”

News like this appeared in an endless stream on the Internet, and as if for fear that Jessica would not see it, it was on the headlines all the time.
Jessica threw her phone aside with an indifferent smirk on her face.
The friend who came to see her off was so angry that she said, “This is too much. Stanley doesn’t take you seriously. Does he know that you are Thaddeus Lindholm’s daughter and Yvonne is just your butler’s daughter?
“Everyone from rich families in Atlanta knows that he is your fiancé and that you will be getting married in a month. Isn’t he doing this out of spite, making such a fuss?”
Jessica looked at the flowers scattered in the wind outside the window,
her smirk faint.

“Yes, he knew this, so he did this just to spite me?
“Go and help me take out everything from the safe in the study. The combination is 336655.”
After her friend brought it, Jessica looked at the things in front of her. They were all birthday gifts that Stanley had given her, as well as things about him that she had collected without his knowledge.
High school notes, the discarded pen she gave him, etc.
These are all her little representations of love!
“Prepare the car. We’re going to No. 3 Courtyard.”
When they arrived at No. 3 Courtyard, Stanley was not there.
The butler said that he took Yvonne to Westmore Chapel to pray.
Jessica didn’t even get out of the car and asked her friend to hand the box of things about Stanley to the butler.
Just as they were about to drive away, Stanley’s car came back.
He and Yvonne got out of the car as if no one was around.
Yvonne said with a worried look on her face, “Mr. Hackett, the news that you are good to me has spread all over the Internet. Ms. Lindholm must be unhappy when she sees it.”
Stanley’s voice was cold but full of tenderness, “I deliberately leaked these to the media just to make her change her mind and marry Quintus.”
Stanley knew very well that if Jessica did not change her mind, he would definitely be marrying her in the future.
Otherwise, the entire Hackett family would be unable to bear the anger.

That was why he resorted to this desperate measure, hoping that Jessica could understand his determination and stop being stubborn. After all, he was not a good match for her.
“But everyone in the city knows that Ms. Lindholm likes you, so how could she easily marry someone else?”
“Even if she still insists on marrying me, I will find a way to get out. Yvonne, ever since I saw you saving Mr. Keller at the Lindholm Group’s celebration banquet, I have been fascinated by your kindness and have fallen hard for you. I only want you in this life.”
Jessica’s face darkened when she heard this.
“Save Mr. Keller?
“I was the one who saved him!”
On the celebration banquet that day, Mr. Keller suddenly suffered from angina pectoris. It happened that the Top–grade Miracle Pill she had customized had arrived, so she reluctantly gave one to Mr. Keller.
It was just that Yvonne was asked to feed the medicine to Mr. Keller at that time. Unexpectedly, Stanley, who came late, thought that it was Yvonne who saved Mr. Keller.
Jessica weakly waved for the driver to leave.
Her bracelet’s pendant accidentally tapped against the car window.
“Who’s there?”
Stanley was startled, noticing someone was there. He looked up, saw Jessica, and frowned in disdain, “Why are you here?”
He thought he had made it obvious!

But he didn’t expect that she would still follow him home. He wondered if she really had to be with him that badly.
The tenderness and affection towards Yvonne just a second ago, immediately turned into an expression of disgust when he saw Jessica.
In his previous life, he gave up everything in Atlanta to pursue Yvonne, but until his death, he never figured out who was the one who really moved him.
She almost blurted out the truth, but she held it back.
They were destined not to be together. He hurt her too deeply in her last life, and she had never thought of being his wife again in this life.
“I’m here to return your things.” She gestured toward the butler at the door.
Stanley’s eyes gradually turned cold, as if he didn’t hear her words. He only glanced at the box at the door and said coldly, “It’s still early for the wedding, are you so impatient to get married?”
