Chapter 40 The Consequences of a Slippery Hand


    Chapter 40 The Consequences of a Slippery Hand


    "Huh?"


    The servant was confused. Jason clearly had no intention of exining, as he waved his hand and


    leisurely sipped his wine.


    The servant walked away, puzzled. He couldn''t understand. Jason heard about Ingrid''s n and


    ordered him to install a surveince camera in Miss Lynn''s room. Jason also asked him to take


    away the contraceptive pills that Marie had ced there. The servant didn''t have the chance to


    tamper with the ne. When he arrived, Burton and the others had already gathered outside


    Rejo''s room. But Jason seemed to approve of what Ingrid did. Something didn''t seem right!


    Jason drank a ss of wine and then went back to swimming in the water, missing the WhatsApp


    message from Rejo.


    "Joy, go put on this outfit." Jacquelyn personally picked out an outfit with the designer and handed it


    to Rejo. When Jacquelyn saw that Rejo was holding her phone, Jacquelyn immediately


    snatched it. "Don''t y with your phone all the time. Go change your clothes!"


    "Give me back my phone!" Rejo pouted. Seeing that Jacquelyn wanted to look at her phone, she


    immediately became unhappy. "You''re not allowed to look at it. It''s my privacy!"


    "Who cares? Alright, take it and go change your clothes!"


    Seeing that Rejo was getting anxious, Jacquelyn handed it back to her. However, Jacquelyn was


    more interested in the contents of Rejo''s phone. She wondered if there was a chance for her to


    sneak a peek at it so that Rejo wouldn''t be bewitched by a poor man.


    She didn''t want Rejo to experience what she had gone through and be fooled by a man''s sweet


    words. In this world, money was the safest bet. Love words were just a bunch of lies.


    Rejo took her phone and went into the dressing room with the clothes. She took off her clothes


    and looked at the outfit that Jacquelyn had given her. It was a beigece dress with a vintage


    design on the neckline, waist, and cuffs. It had a courtly style, and the whole dress was made of


    lace. The high-waisted design and the V-neck could perfectly highlight her figure. Rejo looked at


    the dress with her head tilted and was quite satisfied. Just as she was about to change into it, her


    phone rang.


    When she picked it up and saw the shing portrait, she stared at it for three seconds before


    remembering whose WhatsApp ount it was. Ah, it was Brady''s WhatsApp ount. Although the


    company had its own contact group and they knew who the boss was, no one dared to harass him.


    Brady had added her on WhatsAppst time when they were at the Crown Pce Hotel, so Rejo


    didn''t recognize it at first. Now that she recognized it, she remembered something she had


    forgotten. She had promised Brady that she would go see a therapist. It was almost noon now. Was


    she ditching the boss? If Brady asked her about it, what should she do? Should she tell him the


    truth? Ingrid was Brady''s cousin, and Rejo didn''t think that Brady would side with an outsider like


    her.


    She didn''t know what to do.


    Rejo hesitated to tell the truth, but she didn''t dare to dy any longer and hurriedly clicked to


    answer the call. However, Rejo didn''t know that she had identally slid her finger and switched


    to video mode. When Brady saw the image on his phone, he was stunned for a moment. He had set


    it to audio mode, not video, right? But the video was even better. He looked closer and his


    adrenaline surged. He almost had a nosebleed, and he stared without blinking. What did Rejo


    mean? Did she have feelings for him too? Was that why she expressed her love in such a bold


    way?


    His dream hade true too quickly. Brady couldn''t quite ept it, but he couldn''t help but stare at


    the woman in the video. Well, her figure was just as good as he had imagined. Although Rejo


    usually dressed quite conservatively, he could tell by her shape. But what he saw was more


    stunning.


    "Mr. Nelson, Mr. Nelson, why aren''t you saying anything?"


    Rejo held her phone up to her head and tentatively asked.


    Brady took onest look at her and reluctantly looked away. "Joy, you should put on your clothes


    first!" Although he had only seen her upper body on the screen, it had almost caused him to have a


    nosebleed.


    Rejo blinked and realized what was happening. She looked down suddenly and saw that she


    was only wearing a bra. "Ah!"


    She quickly turned off the video and put on the dress in her hand.


    Jacquelyn heard Rejo''s voice from outside the door and knocked. "Joy, what''s wrong?"


    Yes, Rejo had learned from yesterday''s lesson and closed the door to the dressing room when


    she entered.


    Rejo blushed and said, "Nothing."


    She stared at her phone screen, not knowing whether to end the call or not.


    "If there''s nothing wrong,e out. Why is it taking so long?"


    "Just a minute!"


    Closing her eyes and taking a deep breath, Rejo courageously picked up her phone. When she


    saw Brady''s face in the video, her cheeks flushed. "Mr. Nelson, I have something to do, so I have to


    go!"


    Without waiting for Brady to speak, she hung up the phone and opened the door. Jacquelyn''s eyes


    lit up. She looked at Rejo and kept nodding. "Nice, my daughter is a born beauty. You look good


    in anything!"


    Fortunately, Rejo had closed WhatsApp, or Brady would have heard Jacquelyn bragging and she


    would be embarrassed.


    "Then we''ll buy this dress!"


    Rejo didn''t want to change again. She hated to stay in the dressing room.


    N?velDrama.Org owns this.


    Jacquelyn frowned. "There are several other dresses. Try them on and see which one looks


    better!"


    "No, I think this one is fine. Anyway, I''m not changing!"


    Rejo sat down in front of the dressing table. "Do my makeup and hair!"


    Seeing that Rejo was determined, Jacquelyn didn''t say much though she was dissatisfied. She


    had the remaining clothes wrapped up. "These dresses are good. Buy them and you can wear them


    someday."


    Rejo was wronged this morning, so Jacquelyn nned to buy more things topensate her.


    "Oh." Rejo didn''t pay much attention because her WhatsApp was ringing. Looking at Brady''s


    shing portrait, Rejo had the urge to throw her phone away.


    After hesitating for a while, Rejo finally gave in to her conscience because he was her boss. She


    clicked it and saw several messages.


    "Joy, I''m sorry for my rudeness just now. I didn''t mean it!"


    "Joy, why aren''t you replying? Are you angry?"


    "Joy, are you there?"


    This was the difference. If it were Jason who encountered such a thing, he would probably


    immediately send a message to tease her. But Brady was so upright and just, which made Rejo


    feel embarrassed.


    Actually, it was not Brady''s fault. It was her own carelessness for identally pressing the video


    button, and she forgot that she was changing clothes. If she made a fuss about it, she would be too


    narrow-minded. Besides, he didn''t see her naked, right? Rejo thought about it and remembered


    that he just saw her upper body, and she was wearing a bra. After thinking about it, Rejo returned


    to normal. She replied to Brady and exined, so as not to be misunderstood that she did it on


    purpose.


    "It''s just a misunderstanding. I wasn''t paying attention and identally pressed the video button


    while changing in the dressing room. Mr. Nelson, you don''t need to apologize."


    Immediately, her phone rang.


    "Dressing room? Are you shopping? Didn''t you go see a therapist?"


    "Yeah, something happened at home this morning, so I''ll go tomorrow, okay?"


    "What happened?"


    "Just some family matters. Oh, I have to do my makeup now, so that''s it. Bye!"


    Brady stared at his phone for a while before calling Jason.


    Jason got out of the swimming pool and saw the WhatsApp message sent by Rejo.


    "What''s up?"


    His tone was as cold as ever. Of course, when dealing with someone trying to get his woman, he


    had to be a bit ruthless.


    "Was there something going on at the Sterling family today that prevented Rejo from seeing her


    therapist?"


    "You can ask Rejo yourself."


    "Jason, if Rejo wanted to tell me, do you think I would need to ask you? Besides, even if you


    don''t tell me, I can still find out."


    "Fine. Go find out then!" Jason hung up the phone without further exnation, leaving Brady


    frustrated but helpless. Brady could only beat around the bush and ask his mother to investigate.


    After hanging up, Jason immediately replied to Rejo.


    "Where are you?"


    Unfortunately, his message went unanswered as Rejo was busy doing her makeup and had put


    her phone in her bag.


    After waiting for a while with no response, Jason simply located Rejo''s position and went to find


    her after taking a shower and changing his clothes.


    After countlessyers of cosmetics and hair styling, Rejo finally finished and stared at herself in


    the mirror for a while. Jacquelyn stood next to her, smiling proudly. "How do you like it? Beautiful,


    right? You should always dress like this in the future, and you should learn to do makeup. How


    could there be a girl who doesn''t put on makeup?"


    Rejo took a deep breath and gave Jacquelyn a cold look. Jacquelyn finally realized that


    something was wrong with Rejo. Rejo didn''t seem happy like she expected, but rather angry.


    "Joy, what''s wrong? Don''t you like it? This style suits you so well!"


    Jacquelyn couldn''t understand Rejo''s thoughts. To be honest, she didn''t expect it to turn out this


    well, and Rejo looked more beautiful. Rejo was always pretty. After all, how could her


    daughter not be beautiful? But Rejo''s temperament wasn''t perfect enough. However, after the


    designer''s modifications, Rejo became elegant and graceful, yet still lively and charming.


    Jacquelyn wanted her to be not only virtuous but also interesting. She should be attractive at first


    nce and even more so over time.


    Rejo furrowed her brows. She didn''t expect that she would be so gorgeous after putting on


    makeup. If she had known, she would never havee to this store for styling. But now it was too


    late. Annoyed, she turned her head and put on the nude-colored shoes she had prepared earlier.


    "We''re going to have lunch soon. Call Mr. LimBurton and ask him where he wants to eat. Let''s go


    now. I don''t want to wait until tonight."


    She wanted to finish the task earlier so she could remove her makeup sooner.


    "That won''t work. We''ve already set a time."


    "I don''t care. If it''s not possible for lunch, I won''t have dinner with him!"


    It was too frustrating. She felt like her face was burning with pain every second she wore the


    makeup. She just wanted to leave and wash it off. In the end, Jacquelyn had to call the man.


    Fortunately, he agreed to meet for lunch instead.
