Before Natalie had found out about his affair with Annabelle, Natalie would send Jeremy messages from time to time. Sometimes, she sent him cute selfies. She also flirted with him and reminded him to eat on time.
In the past, Jeremy did not think much of it.
Although Natalie had come home and tried her best to interact with him like how they did in the past, these easily overlooked details painted a troubling picture.
Just then, Tristan knocked on the door and walked in.
“Mr. Hughes, Mason Chavez, Annabelle’s stepfather, called me just now. He asked me whether you’ve ever offended anybody. Annabelle has come clean. She said that someone sought her out and gave her the bracelet. From then onward, Annabelle contacted him directly.
“As to who this person is, Annabelle isn’t sure either. Every time they met, he appeared with a mask. He’s around 70 years old. When Mason tried to contact him, he had already blocked Annabelle’s number and deleted his Whatsapp account.”
Jeremy’s eyes darkened. He asked, “Did you say he was a 70–year–old man?”
Even if he did have a few enemies, a 70–year–old man wouldn’t be one of them. This man was old enough to be his grandfather.
However, this was a carefully planned scheme against him, and Annabelle was merely a tool. Even if Annabelle weren’t in the picture, there would be other people to take her place.
Jeremy looked sullen. After all, no one had ever schemed against him and succeeded.
“I’ll look into it right now,” Tristan promised immediately.
After he left, Jeremy called Joe and told him about what had happened. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
“You’re not the only person he has plotted against. He probably included Mr. Doherty, Mr. Solarius Senior, and others in his schemes. Even Mr. Gardner Senior fell for his nefarious designs,” Joe said.
“It looks like this old man is acting against the wealthy families of Jipsburg. Perhaps many others have suffered in his hands unbeknownst to them. I’ll warn John about this later. Then, I’ll ask Skylar whether she has any preventative methods.”
Jeremy lit a cigarette. After a long drag, he exhaled a puff of smoke and said mockingly, “What a brave old man. However, perhaps he might not be a man at all.”
“Thanks for reminding me.”
“If you’ve nothing else to say, I’ll hang up now.”
“Okay.”
Jeremy then sent Natalie a message. He said, “What time do you get off work? I’ll pick you up.”
A few minutes later, Natalie replied.
Looking at Natalie’s short reply, Jermy narrowed his eyes. He wouldn’t let Natalie slip out of his hands because of another’s schemes!
Jenny stood before the Martin Group with her résumé in hand. She’d been told to come over for an
interview today.
She had gotten to where she was today, relying on her capabilities and talents.
Jenny had seldom come to the Martin Group. In the past, she’d merely passed by.
When she imagined Joe’s surprise at seeing her in the office, excitement bubbled within her.
Before she stepped in, Rowan called and asked, “Are you really going to the Martin Group?”
“Yes, I’ve made up my mind,” Jenny stated firmly.
Ever since she’d visited Galaxy Villa, she’d only become more determined in her choice. She couldn’t watch as Joe and Skylar lived happy lives. In the past, she’d fantasized about living there as well.
All her friends in Jipsburg tried convincing her to live peacefully with Joe. Everything she had was because of Joe. Jenny wasn’t a kid anymore. She knew what she wanted to have.
Rowan was silent for a while before saying, “I hope you won’t regret it.”
“If I didn’t show up here today, I would regret it,” Jenny said.
“Alright, good luck.”
Jenny frowned. She said, “Rowan, I know you’ll be my best friend no matter what happens.”
Rowan chuckled lightly and said, “Once I get engaged, won’t be your best friend anymore. Everyone tends to be selfish. You’d better look out for yourself.”
