Both women knew that Jason was not working with Patricia or anything of the sort. Rather it was the opposite, besides what form of enmity would he harbour aganist Jessie? They met for the first time when he bought her. Although it did seem very plausible that others might think if it that way, which made Jessie very scared.
If she managed to make a comeback, of course the entire story of her demise would be revealed, that meant she could potentially harm Jason. Wait a minute, he let her go before did he not care for his reputation? The last time when she was attacked by her fans, if that didn't happen she would have told everything, did he have a backup plan?
"Is the question too difficult?" Jamie asked again as he noticed both women had transferred focus to their brains.
"Jason isn't working for Patricia, quite the contrary actually. He hates her." Katherine said with conviction.
"Then why is he engaged to Patricia? I mean, he isn't the chairman of KE holdings right now. He has the power to refuse the engagement so if he hates her why is she still his Fiancee?"
Both women frowned at him. "Look here mister detective, if you are so smart why couldn't you be this way when you were handling my case?" Jessie scowled.
Jamie eyes narrowed at her, "I believe I've informed you about my helpless circumstances." He said through clenched teeth.
"Keep your friends close and enemies closer." Jessie said. "Just as Patricia is my enemy same way the Lee's are Jason enemy. You must know off the bad blood between the two families and companies. I don't know the specifics but that is exactly the same thing he said to me when I asked."

"Alright, I'll choose to accept your explanation. Doesn't mean I believe it." Was his curt response.
"I don't care about your believe, just do your job." She smiled grimly.
"Oh and Detective Anderson, you've questioned her ever so meticulously but you didn't ask why Jessie is so certain Patricia is the culprit. We don't have solid evidence, do you?" Katherine asked.
"I want to show you something." He said, getting up he retrieved his phone. He played the recording Patricia have him.
Jessie palms formed into fists by her sides as she listened to the recording. "That isn't me!"
"I know. It's Patricia Lee, coincidentally I ran this through a voice recognition system not quite long ago. But voices belong to Patricia Lee." Jamie stated.
"But she sounds just like Jessie." Katherine gasped.
"She always had a talent like that." Jessie stated ruefully. "But I only thought she could imitate people's singing voices, she does know how to sing. Apparently she is a talented con artist."
"So what are you going to do with that? She will be able to get out of that, you need more concrete evidence." Katherine said.
"You think I don't know that?" He huffed. "Either way I'm glad you showed up."
"I'm not show how much help I am" Jessie sighed. "Not once did I see Patricia during all the time I was kidnapped."
"Still, you being alive means Patricia's call is fake."
"That means the woman who is dead..."
"Is a fake." Jason finished.
"That true, she told me that she had the woman do plastic surgery to look like me." Jessie informed both of them.
"Then she must have already resembled you." Katherine surmised.

"Then the next step would be to exsume the body to find out the woman's real identity." Jamie said.
"Then you agree to work with us?" Jessie asked.
"No, I'm only looking for the truth. Remember you are still guilty for the driver's murder." He said curtly.
She pursed her lips. "I'm I not innocent till proven guilty?"
"You have been proven guilty, it was decided by a court. You would be in jail now if we were aware you were still alive." He stated.
Jessie jaw dropped "do you have to be so harsh? Either way, I didn't kill him. I have no idea how my finger print got on that gun, but seeing as I was unconscious for most part of my kidnapping you would realise how easy it would be to frame me." She said.
"Still I mu-"
"Alright, alright I get it. Your a righteous detective, how wonderful. This is my number let's keep in touch. Please inform me about any development concerning mine and Steven's case." She placed a business card on the desk.
"Susan Jung."
"That's my alias, got it just yesterday." She said with a smile.
"This is illegal you know."
"Oh would you just shut up already."
"Can you please not?" Both ladies whined. And Jamie coughed and picked the card up.
"What about you?" He asked Katherine.
"Why should I give you my number?" She pouted. "I don't want to." She refused.
"Whatever. Katherine let's go." Jessie stated. The all stood up and walked to the door as they ladies stepped outside the bowed and walked to their car. Unaware their pictures were being taken at the moment.
"Are we going to your family house now? It's only just past one. We can make it, and head home tomorrow. Somehow this town doesn't just sit well with me." Jessie said.
"I agree with you, this place brings me nothing but bad memories. But then again they weren't all bad, I did grow up here." She sighed. "Can we go tomorrow? I'm still not quite ready, besides there is someone I want to see."
"Who?" Jessie asked, but Katherine gave her a small smile and walked to the car.
"Who?!" Jessie asked again but she got no response.
"You're not going to tell me?"
Preview 163: Evil truth.
The three Song brothers had the most complicated family relationship she had ever seen. They were both born from the same father and mother, showered with so much love but neither of the brothers ever treated themselves with love or affection. They saw each other as competition. Adonis, Jeoffrey and Paul. Paul was the most playful and easy to approach, in Katherine's opinion the only person apart from Bishop Song that had any sense of humanity. Jeoffery was outrightly wicked and quite scary. He was heartless and ruthless. But she hated Adonis the most, he acted kind and cool but underneath that mask was the most conniving and the most ruthless Song she knew. At least the madam of the Song family was like her second son, she never hid her contempt.
