Billionaire Defiant Wife Chapter 821

Erin was still angry, so she lifted her hand again, knocking over a dozen dumplings in the bowl. The dumplings fell on Jessica's belly and thighs.
As soon as Erin spilled the hot dumplings and burning dumpling soup over Jessica's skin, she frowned and took a deep breath.
"Erin, are you crazy?" James said with rage. Soon, he heard Jessica moaning in anguish, and he asked patiently, "How do you feel?"
Then, James immediately hugged Jessica and took a tissue to help her.
James lifted Jessica's dress for checking her wound though it was not proper to lift Jessica's dress before many people.
As for Erin, James planned to punish her when Jessica was fine.
"Get cold water here," James said to a maid.
Jessica was embarrassed and pulled her dress down. She felt uncomfortable when James lifted her dress before so many people, so she said to him, "I'm fine."
But James was still worried about her. The maids immediately brought some water. The place is a bit of a mess.
Erin was still standing there agitatedly. She saw that James rolled her sleeves up, and thus his burn wound showed. But James only cared about Jessica as if he didn't get hurt.
"James, the dumplings were poisoned. She was trying to poison you," Erin gritted her teeth and pointed to Jessica, "You shouldn't eat them."
James raised his head, glanced at Erin, and then turned to Jessica, asking, "Are you trying to poison me?"
Jessica lowered her head because she didn't dare to look at James. She made two fists and put her hands on both sides. "The maid just gave me the sleeping medicine. How can Erin know about it? Moreover, I see she left," thought Jessica.
Jessica was silent while James asked Erin, "How can I trust you?"

Erin answered in an injured tone, "I just passed the yard and heard a maid was on the phone in the pavilion saying that she gave the poison to Jessica and asked her to put it in the dumplings."
"The maid was on the phone? Is it the maid who gave me the medicine? Was she reporting to Avery?" though Jessica. She was terrified. Her face turned pale, and she felt cold on her back. She had never expected that Erin would know it.
Jessica stepped back. As soon as she wanted to run away, James grabbed her arms.
Jessica was helpless and turned back to James. She was almost crying.
"Why do you want to run away?" James held Jessica tight. His hot palm touched Jessica's skin close.
"I…" Jessica was very guilty. She didn't want to lie. Now, she didn't know how to explain.
James found Jessica was abnormal. He became serious and asked Erin, "Which maid?"
Erin looked around and then shook the head, indicating that the maid was not here.
"Get all the maids together," James ordered.
Five minutes later, all the maid came to the restaurant room, standing in three lines, about ten people in a line.
With so many people, the restaurant looked smaller, and James became more serious.
Jessica glanced over maids. One of the maids was the one that gave her the sleeping medicine.
Jessica felt nervous, giving a glance at the maid. Similarly, the maid was nervous too.
In fact, Jessica wasn't worried about herself but worried that the maid would be punished.
"Who is it?" James looked at all the maids coldly. And then he added, "You got only one chance to confess your crime. Otherwise, I will be ruthless."
Jessica became more anxious, squeezing her dress and looking around.

The maids were in a panic, looking at each other. Some were confused. Some were frightened. And some had mixed feelings.
All of a sudden, the atmosphere became tense and weird.
All the maids were terrified. They knew it was a big issue. It was about Mr. Moore's life. The murder must be killed.
Ten minutes later, no one confessed.
The atmosphere became tender and tender as if Death were coming.
"Well. No one comes to confess. Okay. That's your choice. Remember it," James said mercilessly.
"James, I found that maid," Erin stopped for a while. And then when James looked at her, she pointed to a maid, "It is her. She gave medicine to Miss. Clifford."
Jessica couldn't take a breath as if her heart were held tight when she heard that Erin mentioned her.
Jessica turned to look at the maid that Jessica pointed and thought, "What? It is not her."
The maid shook her head and hands, claiming, "No. It wasn't me. No!"
Erin went over, dragged the maid out, and pushed her on the ground, "Isn't that you? I heard that you were talking on the phone that Miss. Clifford wanted to poison Mr. Moore and asked you to prepare Poison."
"Poison? Erin thought I wanted to poison James? I have no idea about that," thought Jessica. Her eyes widened.
The maid shook her head and denied, "No. It was not Poison. No!"
"Isn't it poison? That is to say, and you took medicine into the dumplings?"
Erin was happy to blame Jessica. Because she wanted James to hate Jessica, to know every defect that she had.
Jessica knew Erin set a trap for her, but she was not annoyed. She would have to protect the maid. But Erin claimed that she wanted to poison James; it was not true.
It was not the Poison, but sleeping medicine.
James narrowed his eyes, pinched Jessica's chin, and asked, "Did you want to poison me? Do you want me to die?"
Jessica calmed down and shook her head, saying, "No. It is not Poison. It is sleeping medicine."
Erin was happy, "We can make a test to ensure whether it is the poison or sleeping medicine."
James found Jessica was so terrified that she almost cried. He felt anguished when Jessica admitted that she took sleeping medicine into the dumplings.
James loved Jessica so much. He was willing to accompany her all the time with patience and care.
James was heartbroken to know that Jessica poisoned him, which means that she didn't love him. This is the point that James cared.
Since James was afraid that he couldn't control himself, he relaxed her grip, walking to the maid, "Say it! What kind of medicine did you gave Jessica?"

Inside the universe of Metsys, life is chaotic, cruel and crazy. People with Stats have power and everyone wants to be a Player. Meet Corn, a slave who has no memory of most of his past and doesn’t know how most of the world functions. This doesn’t stop him from escaping the bonds of slavery by risking his life on a gamble. After all, he would risk everything for freedom and the right to be a mage. But how’s a scrub to learn Magic and get power? Why, join the magical under belly of the city, of course. And eat all the mana that he can get. Two Disclaimers: 1) This is a work of fiction. Any characters, places, organisations and everything else in this novel are fictional. Any resemblance between anything in this novel and the plane of reality we live in is purely coincidental. Was that a bit over the top and a wee bit unnecessary? Maybe. 2) This story features an antihero with a slight hint of villainy. So, sooner or later, it’s going to get dark. Very dark. Hence all the tags. If you are prone to be squeamish, this might not be for you. Well. You were warned. ;)
