Chapter 352
“If you want to invest in yourself, you don’t need to leave at all. I have enough resources in Janeborough for you to improve yourself,” Marina said with a serious expression.
“I know.” Jessica nodded.
“Then why are you still leaving?” Marina asked with a frown.
Jessica did not answer her question immediately.
After pausing for a while, she forced a faint smile and looked at Marina sincerely.
“Marina, I’ve figured out the whole story and convinced myself not to be angry.
“But that doesn’t mean I’m not hurt at all.
“This place will remind me of something unpleasant, so I want to leave for the time being.”
Jessica was so serious that Marina could not find a reason to reject her.
“Marina, you don’t have to worry about me. I’ll be fine.
“Actually, I’m not as weak as you think. I struggled to survive before you appeared, right?
“Now that you’ve taught me so much, I definitely won’t be any worse off than before.” Jessica tried her best to convince Marina.
“Where do you want to go?” Marina asked after a moment of silence.
What Jessica said made sense. Staying here would always bring back bad memories for her.
Moreover, Jessica would suppress her emotions all along so that she wouldn’t be worried about her.
This would be harmful to her health.
It might be better for her to be abroad for a while.
“I want to go to Froyca. I heard that the scenery there is very beautiful,” Jessica said.
“Alright. I’ll help you arrange everything.” Marina finally agreed.
“Thank you,” Jessica replied with a smile.
Now that Jessica wanted to study abroad, Marina helped her contact the best university in Froyca.
She even arranged accommodation and hired a maid and a driver for her.
She was doing this because she wanted Jessica to focus on what she wanted to do.
Before everything was done, Jessica had been staying at Marina’s home.
Peter came over every day.
However, Jessica refused to see him.
Even so, he kept visiting her every day.
He would even drive over at midnight.
When he arrived, he would quietly look up at Jessica’s room outside.
Marina did not try to persuade Jessica to forgive Peter.
Before Jessica figured it out herself, she would not put in a good word for him.
That jerk hurt Jessica so badly that an apology was not enough to make up for what he did.
One day, Jessica was reading a book at home.
As she was going to study abroad, she needed to learn a lot of information.
Before she finished reading, she heard a knock on the door.
Chapter 352
Jessica opened the door and saw Marina in front of her.
“What’s wrong?” she asked gently.
Her face was as calm as ever.
It seemed like she had moved on from the incident.
“Peter’s assistant Mr. Allen is waiting for you downstairs. He said that as you resigned suddenly, he had something to confirm with you,” Marina said.
Jessica couldn’t help but frown when she heard this.
“He came alone, but if you don’t want to see him, I will ask him to leave,” Marina added.
“No need. Tell him to wait for a while.” Jessica shook her head.
“Okay,” Marina replied before she turned to go downstairs.
About five minutes later, Jessica finished changing her clothes and came down.
Chad immediately stood up as soon as he saw her.
“Miss Rodriguez.”
“Just call me by my name. I’ve handed in my resignation letter. I’m no longer Peter’s secretary,” Jessica said.
“I… I’m sorry for what happened.”
Chad looked at Jessica with sympathy in his eyes.
“You don’t have to feel sorry for me. I’m not that fragile,” Jessica said with a smile. She knew what he was thinking.
Her calmness left Chad at a loss for words.
Before he came here, he had thought for a long time about what he was going to say.
“Is there anything I didn’t explain clearly when I handed over the work?” Jessica went straight to the point.
She did not go to the office when she resigned.
However, she emailed Chad the progress of all the work she was in charge of.
There shouldn’t be any mistakes.
“Well, here’s the thing.” Only then did Chad remember his purpose for coming here.
He immediately took out the documents he had prepared.
By the time Jessica resigned, she had become very familiar with her job.
She glanced at the documents Chad handed her and began to answer his questions.
In the next two hours, she answered all of Chad’s questions in detail.
However, Chad seemed a little distracted throughout the entire process.
He secretly peeked at Jessica from time to time.
Jessica finished answering his questions.
She put down the documents in her hands and looked up at Chad.
“Is there anything else you want to tell me?”
“…” When Chad heard this, he did not know what to say.
“Although we haven’t worked together for long, we get along quite well.”
“If you have any doubts, there’s no need to hide them. Just tell me,” Jessica said calmly.
Chad looked at her for a moment. From the sincerity in her eyes, he could tell that she meant what she said, and took a deep breath.
“Actually… I already knew about you and Mr. Moore before your wedding.”

“Huh?” Jessica did not expect him to be talking about this.
“I had something urgent to report to Mr. Moore the other day. I was in such a hurry that I pushed the door open and entered his office without knocking on the door.
“Then I saw you and Mr. Moore…” Chad paused.
Jessica understood what he wanted to say.
She had told Peter many times to keep a distance from her as much as possible in the office.
However, that guy would get close to her as long as he got a chance.
Sometimes he would take her hand and hug her.
When there was no one around, he would steal a kiss from her.
Jessica could tell Chad must have seen them making out when he pushed the door open.
“Did you come here just to tell me about this?” She came to her sense and forced a smile.
“Well, I start to regret it now,” Chad said in a low voice.
As Jessica expected, he had something else to tell her.
“Regret what?” Jessica was confused.
“If I had reminded you back then, such a thing might not have happened,” Chad said.
