President’s Sweet Wife

Chapter 145 Strange Gift

“Ah—Don’t come over! Don’t come over!”

All the lights in the room were turned on.

Jessica huddled up in Clara’s arms. Clara patted her gently on the back, heaving a sigh.

“Silly girl, it’s nothing serious. Look carefully. That’s just the curtain. You didn’t close the window when

sleeping, so the wind has blown the sheer curtain. The hands you mentioned were just the sheer

curtain.”

As Clara spoke, she asked Jessica to take a look herself.

Jessica looked over carefully for a while, only to find that the ghost that she mistook was truly the sheer

curtain.

She breathed a deep sigh of relief.

“Did I really have an illusion?”

“You must be quite stressful recently.”

In fact, Clare felt quite speechless when she saw how Jessica was frightened by a curtain at the

midnight and woke up everyone in the house.

However, looking at Jessica’s pale face, she didn’t have the heart to blame her.

She patted Jessica on her hand. “All right. Stop thinking too much. Nothing is there. Go back to sleep.”

Then, Clara left with a group of people.

Jessica was standing motionlessly. Her lips parted, but she couldn’t utter any word.

Aleena glance at her to calm her down and left.

In the corridor, Clara suddenly paused. She asked Aleena, “Has Jessica been contacting people from

Eqitin? How is it going?”

Aleena answered respectfully, “The test has been done. They haven’t given us the response yet, but

that thing has been confirmed as real. I’m sure there will be the feedback soon.”

Clara frowned, obviously unhappy about it.

Hurriedly, Aleena continued, “After all, she’s been missing over twenty years. It’s normal for them to be

cautious. That’s a super-rich and powerful family. If they have confirmed that Jessica was their child,

they wouldn’t ignore her.”

Clara snorted loudly.

“This matter is relevant to the whole Dawson family. I can’t let anything go wrong. Jessica’s future and

the future of our family both rely on it. You better be more careful.”

Aleena answered immediately, “I know, Mom.”

Clara didn’t speak anything, walking away with the group of people.

Aleena gazed in the direction where Ariana had gone, exhaling gently.

Philip walked up from the back and sneered.

“It’s me who managed to marry that Hawkins woman so that our Dawson family could be rich and

powerful now. But what does she do? She wants to give such a huge family and business to that brat.

She doesn’t care about me at all. How despicable!”

Aleena curled up her lips slightly.

“What’s so important about the Dawson family?” She looked down slightly, curling up her lips into a

scheming smile.

“If this matter succeeded truly, our Jessica would become a rich and powerful girl. By then, not to

mention the Dawson family, even the Kaur family and the Miller family would kneel to us and flatter us.

Philip, you must have a long-term vision. If you always care about the small profits in front of you, you

wouldn’t have a good ending.”

Philip listened to her, and his eyes lit up.

“I agree with you. We must make this matter successful. No accident is allowed.”

When they walked back to their bedroom, enormously proud of their success, Aleena suddenly paused

her pace.

“What’s this?”

On the nightstand, there was a white delicate gift box, on which there was a bowknot made from a pink

ribbon. Obviously, someone deliberately put it there.

“Philip, is it you?” asked Aleena delightfully.

She thought that it was a gift from her husband, who wanted to give her a surprise.

However, Philip frowned.

“No, it’s not.”

As he spoke, he looked at Aleena in confusion.

The latter’s expression changed.

“Why are you looking at me? You and I were the only ones in this room. Neither of us put it here. Would

there be a ghost?”

As soon as she finished her words, they both felt a chill running down their spine.

Their expressions slightly changed, and they started feeling creepy for no reason. In the end, Philip

coughed.

“All right. Open it and check what’s in there. Then we may know who has done it. Don’t just think too

much.”

Aleena agreed. She walked over and opened the gift box.

There wasn’t any valuable gift in the box. Besides a piece of metal with worn paint, there was a note.

With a frown, Aleena picked up the note.

The next second, her expression changed dramatically.

“Ah—” she let out a short exclaim.

Taking a step back, she violently tossed the note onto the bed.

“What’s wrong? What’s on the note?”

Philip picked it up curiously to read. When he saw the letters on it, his expression dramatically changed

as well.

On the sky-blue note, there were letters with pretty handwriting – I’m back!

“It’s her. She came back. Her ghost has come to use for revenge!”

Aleena was in a panic. Philip looked solemn. He fiercely rubbed the note into his hand. Then his gaze

fell on the piece of aluminum in the box.

It was a piece of aluminum whose paint had been scratched off after severe friction. Even they didn't

know too much about vehicles, they could easily see that it should be from a certain vehicle.

“I don’t believe it! Damned ghost! Damned spirit! I’m not afraid of living humans. Why should I fear the

dead?”

Upon hearing it, Aleena also calmed down a little.

“But... but why did these things appear?”

“Humph! Someone must have put it here intentionally to scare us!”

As she spoke, he picked up the thing from the box, walking out of the room.

Right then, another sharp and miserable exclaim was heard from a corner of the corridor.

It was from Jessica’s room again.

Their expressions changed, and walked towards her room together.

Before reaching the door, they saw Jessica run out of the room in a panic. This time, she was trembling

all over and her face was covered with tears.

As soon as seeing Aleena and Philip, she pounced at them as if she had seen the life-saving straw.

“Mom!”

Aleena immediately hugged her. Jessica said while weeping, “Mom, I heard that woman’s voice again.

It’s so horrible. This time it’s real. It’s not my illusion. She has truly come back!”

If it were earlier, Aleena might not believer her again. This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .

However, after experiencing such strange things, she believed what Jessica said naturally.

“Don’t be afraid. Let’s go back to check.”

“But...”

Jessica was still scared. Philip snapped, “What are you afraid of? If there was a ghost in your room,

with so many people here, would it eat you alive? Follow me.”

As he spoke, he walked into her room in the lead.

The room looked as normal as usual.

The light or the furniture was exactly the same as that when they came out.

Nothing was abnormal except that the bed was messier because of Jessica’s sudden leave.

Looking annoyed, Philip walked to the French window and checked the curtain again carefully.
