Jason, bearing the chill ofte autumn, hattened back to Evadne, panting and sweat-drenched.
Instead of immediately demanding the result, Evadne went to the coffee table poured him a steaming cup of coffee, and handed it to him
Take a breather, have some coffee. The outside must’ve been freezing, huh?”
Jason epted the cup, his cold fingertips brushing against Evadne’s in the process. The warmth was intoxicating, sparking a jolt of electricity that shot through his heart. “Sit down, rest for a moment.”
Evadne seated herself on the couch first. Her legs were crossed under her nightgown, her pink velvet sl*ppers yfully tapping the air
Jason blushed, awkwardly holding the cup, trying to regain hisposure, “Miss Evadne, you’re incredibly intuitive Kevin does know Caroline, and they seem quite closel Evadne smiled, “Even if I were Cleopatra, I’d need a loyal Marc Antony like you to achieve anything”
Jason shyly handed his phone to her
She took it, then scanned the pictures, her expression unreadable
The photos depicted Kevin and Caroline on a date at a cafe, Kevin caressing Caroline’s face, Caroline cupping his hand. They looked at each other with affection, their chemistry palpable “Miss Evadne, we have enough evidence to confront Kevin now! Jason was visibly excited
“It’s far from enough,” Evadne said, her tone t as she set the phone down.
“Not enough?”
Jason looked at her in disbelief, “I’ve managed to uncover Kevin and Caroline’s hotel records for the past two months. They’ve been meeting at least twice a week, their contact consistent And this was only over thest two months. Prior to that, they had no connection at all lon’t this enough to prove that Kevin is our mole?”
“It’s definitely Kevin, but the evidence is insufficient. You’ve studiedw, and you should know that these are only circumstantial evidence. It’s insufficient to convict Kevin.”
Evadnezy closed her eyes and lounged on the couch. If they im they’re just an ordinary couple, what can you do to them?”
Jason finally understood. Evadne wasn’t just interested in finding out who was sabotaging her. She wanted to root out the problem entirely, making those involved pay a hefty price “So, we need to find evidence of him leaking business secrets, Jason said darkly
“I’ve only revealed that I’m developing a new n during a meeting, and Kevin couldn’t resist leaking the information to Caroline. I can guess what he’s going to do next”
“For the next few days, don’t follow Kevin. It might alert him. Instead, have someone tail Caroline and Glynnis See if they meet. Oh, and research more about Caroline’s background, maybe you’ll dig up something interesting”
“I understand, Miss Evadne”
Suddenly, the sound of her even breaths filled the room.
He looked closer, Evadne had fallen asleep. Her delicate l*ps slightly parted, long eyshes casting shadows under her eyes, her breath smelling sweetly
It seemed she had exhausted herself, thinking too hard.
Pity and affection filled Jason as he knelt beside the couch, wanting to carry her to bed.
However, he controlled himself, resisting the urge to touch her. Instead, he fetched a nket and carefully covered her
After all, he was just a secretary, and it wouldn’t be appropriate to take advantage of her while she was asleep.
Moreover, he believed that the only men who should carry Evadne were her father, her brothers, and her lover
If he could be there on her wedding day, adjusting her bridal gown, he would be content
Late at night in the study
Thaddeus sat by the window, pouring himself a ss of red wine
The ss he was using was a gift from Evadne. It was a pair of baroque crystal wine sses exquisite in quality and craftsmanship.
When she gifted him these sses, did she envisage a lifetime together?
Thaddeus frowned, the wine in his mouth tasting suddenly bitter
Just then, a knock sounded at the door, and Gordon hurried in with some documents
“Mr Thaddeus, Ivepleted a thorough investigation on Caroline as you requested. I assure you, I know everything down to where the Porter family’s ancestors are buried! There are absolutely no oversights!”
He was determined to redeem himself after bbingst time and damaging Thaddeus’s impression in Mrs. Abernathy’s eyes-
“Alright. Scan it and send a copy to President Ashbourne”
Thaddeus swirled the beautiful ss in his hand, admiring it in themplight.
Gordon was taken aback. “What? Send it to Cassius?”
Seeing Thaddeus’s cold nce, he quickly corrected himself, “I mean, Mrs. Abernathy”
“Send it as an email”
Thaddeus paused, then added, “Send it as an anonymous email”
“What? Why?” Gordon blurted out before he could think
Thaddeus putand his l*ps, “I fear if she sees the email is from the Abernathy Group, she won’t even read it before deleting it”
Gordon was speechless. Just how humble could they get?
Just then, his phone vibrated on the coffee table
Thaddeus picked it up, it was a video call from Jareth.
Confused, he answered. “What are you up to now?”
On the screen, Jareth looked pale, lying in a white bed with a blue and white wall behind him. It looked like a hospital
“Thad. I think I’m dying”
“My condolences” Thaddeus replied, expressionless.
“Thaddeus Did Mari poison me or something?”
Jh waved his IV dripped hand in front of his face, the pain making him almost curl into a ball. “She gave me a blueberry pie today, and I ate the whole damn thing without leaving a prumb. But the moment I got home, I started puking and had the runs. Felt like my guts were being pulled out. Hell, I had to call 911 to get me into the hospital The doctor said I got food
poisoning from rotter food I knew there was something off about that pie from the first bite, it tasted so damn sour and now shit! The pain’s back!”
Gordon, standing by, turned around to hide his silentughter, tears streaming down his face from the hrity of it all
Anyone who didn’t know would think he was inbor
Thaddeus, with his thin l*ps tightly pressed together to suppress his amusement, asked, if you knew something was off, why did you eat the whole thing?”
“She made it for me with her own hands Wasl supposed to waste her kindness? Shit, it hurts “Jareth started wailing again.
