Chapter 174

At that moment, Jessica had already finished bathing and changing clothes and was now leisurely reading a military strategy book,

“Ms. Yates, there are only two days left until the Autumn Hunt, and you haven’t even convinced Mrs. Alivia yet. Where are you going to find more pe

Monica was anxious. She had heard Jessica mention attending the Autumn Hunt before, but back then, she thought it was just a joka.

But Jessica even roped in her elder brother and sent in the registration papers. This matter had become real.

Monica continued, “You may look down on Nolan’s archery and riding skills, but even if he participates and Mrs. Alivia agrees, that’s still only three people. Are you planning to go yourself? If General Algernon finds out, he’ll be furious!”

“He won’t find out,” Jessica said nonchalantly.

“What? Ms. Yates, you seriously want to go yourself?” Monica was so startled she nearly jumped.

family, understand?”

“I’m tired now. Go back. You’re so noisy, it’s unbearable.” Jessica pushed her out.

Monica said, “But even if you go, there are still only four people. No, you don’t even want Nolan to go… Ms. Yates, what exactly are you planning?”

Then, the door suddenly swung open with a swish. Jessica’s charming face appeared before her.

She smiled as gently as a spring breeze. “If you don’t get lost right now, I’ll let you suffer a terrible stomachache.”

“I’m going, I’m going!” Monica fled at once.

When it came to medicine and drugs, Jessica’s skill was unmatched in the world, though no one else knew. Monica wouldn’t risk her own health.

But no matter how she calculated, there still weren’t enough people. She didn’t know what Jessica was planning.

Late at night, Jessica didn’t know how long she had been reading her medical book. By the time she snapped out of it, the bright moon was hanging high. It was already midnight.

She set the book down, stood up, and stretched lazily. As she walked over to cover the pearl, ready to sleep, a sudden chill came from outside.

Jessica frowned and stepped back to the table. Just as she reached to uncover the luminous pearl, the windowsill suddenly trembled.

Almost at the same moment, a dark shadow lunged at her. The speed was astonishing.

Jessica’s expression darkened. She instinctively raised her hand to strike, but held back her inner force at the last second.

She fumed. ‘That annoying man again!‘

“What are you doing?” Jessica widened her eyes, trying to make out his features in the darkness. “Let go!”

“Are you hurt?” Leon was also staring at her. But he was used to walking in the dark. His night vision was far superior to hers.

He could see every part of her, even through her thin gauze nightdress. It was a bit unexpected.

Jessica said, “I’m not hurt! Prince Leon, have some decency. Let go of me!”
