In the villa that was Jessica's home, Jessica's father was frowning with a miserable-looking expression.
Looking at the television program, he could not help but say, "Alright, what's so interesting about this lousy show? Turn it off."
Jessica's mother said angrily, "I can't even watch television or the news? Listen to Professor Lauretta's analysis. If the two of you—father and daughter—are at half of her level, our family wouldn't be in its current state."
She broke out crying as she said this. This morning, their three companies and 12 shops, as well as all of the properties, shares, and savings, belonging to Jessica's family had all been frozen. Over 20 soldiers had surrounded their villa, and they were being held in confinement.
