Chapter 23
So, Jasper decided to keep Willow in the company?
What's more, he even told Edith to confirm whether the woman from five years ago was dead. Why...? Was it because of that kiss?
Was that all it took for Jasper to suspect that the janitor of his company was actually Willow Nason?
Edith clenched her fists anxiously. She could feel an impending doom that she refused to accept.
Jasper had just arrived at his designated elevator shaft when the other elevator opened. Out came two police officers.
The moment they saw him, they greeted him respectfully. "Good to see you, Mr. Hughes. We're looking for Lara Smith." Jasper stared at them with his icy-cold gaze.
Lara Smith, again! After seducing Dale and going after his assistant, the police were now coming after her. Just what sort of woman was she?
The officers noticed Jasper's foul mood, so they quickly gave a brief explanation of their presence.
"We're carrying out an investigation involving Ms. Smith. She told our officer that she was looking for Mr. Ward to serve as her eyewitness. We came up to check if she's doing alright." "What investigation?" asked Jasper.
Today was only the second day Lara started working here, and the police were already involved.
Recalling the incident earlier, Jasper grew increasingly annoyed. He found it hard to believe that he lost control of his urges to a troublemaker like her.
Keeping her in the company was the right choice. He had to let himself be seduced by her once more. This time, he would keep his calm and maintain his composure.
Only when he was truly immune to her and his disdain for her was true, could he finally boot her out of the company.
Jasper had experienced countless trial and tribulations since his childhood. He navigated through everything with grace and perfection. Not once had he lost control of the situation.
This incident was the only exception. He had to eliminate all other hidden dangers and tie up the loose ends.
There would be no such stains in his life!
"After Mr. White broke his leg, his wife insisted on suing Ms. Smith for inappropriately meddling in their marriage and destroying their family. She's also suing Ms. Smith for breaking her husband's leg after failing to seduce him," explained the other officer patiently. Lara was an employee of the company. It went without saying that her employer must be informed of the facts, so as to facilitate the investigative process.
At the time, Edith was standing nearby. She saw the officers talking to Jasper; when she overheard their conversation, she grew flustered.
If Jasper found out about her false accusation that Lara accepted Dale's advances and became his girlfriend, he would surely be furious. He might even go as far as to investigate Lara's background. After all, he already harbored suspicions about Lara. No! She mustn't let Jasper find out the truth behind this case.
Edith stepped forward, planning to handle the case herself.
After listening to the officer's explanation, Jasper's eyebrows furrowed instantly.
Dale White was a married man!noveldrama
How could this woman be so shameless as to destroy someone else's marriage?
"You may take her away for interrogation," he said. "Oh, and you're welcome."
After saying that, Jasper entered the elevator. The doors slid shut.
Only then was Edith's heart finally at ease. Jasper was cold and indifferent, where Lara was concerned, which suggested that he had zero interest in her.
