Oh god.
Jessa sucked in a sharp breath, stunned by what she just heard. David was actually telling her to get down on her knees and beg Ella.
She took a couple of shaky steps back, almost losing her balance until Rachel caught her. “Mr. Harmon, how could you do this to Jessa?” Rachel blurted out, her voice shaking. “You’re just helping Ella hurt her.”
David shot Rachel a cold look. “And you? Isn’t Ella your own daughter? What about everything you’ve done?”
Rachel had no reply to that. She just stood there, speechless.
Ella’s clear, steady gaze landed on Jessa. “So, Jessa, are you going to kneel or not? My time’s valuable. I don’t want to waste another second on you.”
Lilly let out a laugh. “Jessa, if you don’t kneel now, next time you might have to take a number and wait your turn.”
Jessa, already pale, somehow looked even whiter.
Ella didn’t give her another glance. “Looks like you haven’t decided. I’m leaving.”
“Ella, come on.”
Lilly linked arms with Ella and they turned to go.
Jessa’s fists clenched at her sides. She couldn’t take it anymore. She shouted after them, her voice cracking, “Fine, Ella! I’ll do it!”
Ella stopped and turned, her expression unreadable.
Jessa dropped to her knees with a dull thud.
In front of everyone in Rockford Bay who mattered, Jessa knelt to Ella.
Her eyes filled with tears. This was the most humiliating moment of her entire life. “Ella, please, I’m begging you. Save me.”
