Chapter 504 - MY BEST FREIND: PART II (1/2)

Jackie locked herself in her room.

”Jackie, please open the door.” Steven knocked as he called out for the girl.

”Steven, just leave.” Jackie cried as she felt all the pain she was feeling killing her.

”Jackie, please, talk to me. Don't be like this…”

”Steven, just go please, I'll come down later.”

Steven stood by the door looking helpless as he couldn't do anything to help the girl. He thought of what he could do to comfort the girl, but not a single answer popped into his mind. ”Wait.”

He did have a solution to help the girl, but whether it would work he doesn't know.

Steven got his phone out and started calling someone. He steadily went down as he waited for the person to answer the call.

”Hello?”

”James, I need your help.”

James Goldsmith was still in the office finishing up his work to head home for his sister's party. He was surprised when his sister's finance suddenly called. He sighs as he realizes something must have happened.

”What is it?”

”Do you have Miss Knigthley's number?”

”Liz?” James was surprised that he knew about the girl. He thought, 'Did Jackie tell him the truth? Wait, didn't she go and pick her up?'

”Yes, I met her earlier and I hope she can help Jackie.”

”So something did happen?” He sighs heavily as he pinches the skin in the middle of his brow annoyed about the fact her sister must have been bullied again.

”So, I need the number. Can you send it to me?”

”Well, I can, but let me tell you one thing. Do you know what you're about to do?” James warned him, for they never dare involve Elizabeth in any of their family conflicts.

”I do,” He confidently answered, despite knowing he's putting his life on the line for involving the girl in problems she shouldn't.

”Fine, just don't over do it. She is the man���s daughter and she is very precious to him. Getting her involved means putting our necks on the line.”

Steven laughed as he ended the call with James. As soon as the call ended, he received a message from the man with Elizabeth's number.

”Please, answer the call.”

Steven looked for a more secure and quiet place to call the girl. As the phone only continued to ring, he worried that the girl might not answer the call because his number is unfamiliar.

Meanwhile, Elizabeth only had a couple of minutes of sleep when she heard her phone ringing. ”Must be Jackie.” She yawned as she stretched herself out of her bed.

When she picked up the phone she noticed an unfamiliar number. She normally doesn't answer unknown numbers, but somehow, she couldn't explain the reason why she felt that if she does not answer the call she'll regret it.

”Hello?”

”Liz.”

Elizabeth realizes who the caller is just by hearing his voice. She was surprised why he suddenly called her.

”Steven, I'm sure the party is still a couple hours, but I'm sure you're calling for something else.” She responded, knowing the man has a different purpose for the reason he called.

”I need your help.”

”Something happened to Jackie.”

”Hmm, something did. But, don't worry, I'll handle it. What I called for, is for you to help cheer Jackie up. She feels guilty for putting my dreams aside for your sake. But, please don't get me wrong. I know you mean a lot to her. So, I want to ask if you can please do whatever you can to make sure Jackie doesn't get upset or lose her anger. My mother witnessed what she did and is now furious with Jackie. I love Jackie and I don't really care what my parents think of her, but, I do want them to get along. They are my family…”

Elizabeth only listened in and said nothing, she didn't realize how much Jackie and Steven have sacrificed for her sake. She could only repay them by doing one thing…

”Don't worry, I'll handle Jackie. Can you please save two extra chairs for me though, I'll be bringing some backup.”

”Sure, sure, no worries. Bring as many people you like, just please, you know Jackie. She can be prideful and arrogant sometimes.”

”Ha-ha, don't worry, I've known her more than you have.”

”Thank you,” Steven ended the call as he needed to finish the preparation, however, as he got down to check the situation. He was surprised by hearing what his mother was saying.

”I'm sorry for what happened, I don't even know what Steven sees in that girl. Surely, she is just a spoiled child. Mr. Goldsmith, this is partly your fault for not raising her well.”

Mr. Goldsmith was speechless and angry. Despite not being involved in his daughter's upbringing, he was proud how his sons have raised her.
