Chapter 55: You dare to smile...
At that moment, the study door slowly creaked open.
Jessica stepped out first. Her face was expressionless, her eyes cold as they settled on Desmond. Davis followed closely behind, his expression dark and unyielding. The noises from the hallway wasn’t drowned on them, they heard it all.
Desmond sneered. "Finally decided to show yourselves?" His gaze flickered past them. "Where is he?" He queried, his gaze calculative.
Jessica looked at him for a while "What do you think?" She chimed. She would have waited to hear the more of what this man would want to say further but the old man needed rest and with their constant babbling—it is an impossible feat.
"What have you and your husband done to my father?" Desmond queried coldly walking up to her step by step.
It is clear he didn’t put Davis in his eyes. Jessica met his gaze head-on, a challenging smirk playing on her lips.
Seeing her smile made Desmond blood boil in rage. "She is the reason why things are going haywire? Davis had long given up when the family failed him but it seems I miscalculated by forcing this marriage", he mused.
"You dare to smile after the atrocity you just committed?" He snarled.
Jessica raised her brows, a questioning look donning her beautiful face. She felt her memory refreshed over and over again on what the true definition of shameless is. Noting her silence Desmond felt he had hit the mark.
"Am I wrong?" He pressed on.
He needed an answer before going into that room, and he must prove himself a good son thinking of the good of his father otherwise, how will he convince this people around him to surrender to him. Although, it is already a done deal but it is of essence to take the necessary steps.
