Chapter 361

Ross had always maintained a polished, courteous public image. Even after the scandal broke, he had done nothing to retaliate against Jessica, and since she had business ties to Jean Group, she had dared visit him at the hospital.

Jessica reassured herself silently, ‘Ross is the type to spare a woman’s feelings. He won’t humiliate me?

But his icy tone shattered that illusion. Her smile froze. “Mr. Jean, I wasn’t rude to her. Just a misunderstanding”

Seeing Danielle’s stony expression, Ross tried to explain. “Danielle, she and 1”

“I don’t care.” Danielle cut him off. “I want an orange. Peel it for me.”
