    The news of Nancy’s television interview spread like wildfire in Hulbury, causing a massive uproar


    within. half an hour.


    The reporter asked, “It seems like you’ve known Mr. Smith for a long time. Why didn’t you end up


    together? Was there a specific reason?”


    Nancy replied, “There is indeed a reason…”


    On television, Nancy appeared worn out, a stark contrast to her previous morous image. In that


    moment, she seemed vulnerable and abandoned


    The Public Rtions Department immediately reported the situation to Jasper


    The audience, eager to hear Nancy’s exnation, was abruptly interrupted by a break in the live


    broadcast.


    The television screen turned into static, leaving no image.


    “What a disappointment! What could be the reason for this?”


    “Who knows! If what this woman says is true, and the CEO of Smith Corporation likes her so much,


    why is he engaged to the daughter of the Swan family? It doesn’t make sense!”


    “Ah, this woman is truly pitiful. After being together for so long, she’s still been abandoned. Could there


    be someone else involved? How could a seemingly perfect couple break up like that?”


    At Hulbury News, a group of ck-suited bodyguards entered the office. Without saying a word, they


    vandalized the entire ce, even cutting off the electrical signals.


    The terrified staff huddled in aer, too afraid to move.


    The bodyguards cleared a path for Fabian to enter the interview room. Through the ss, he saw


    Nancy sitting inside.


    The soundproof ss door opened, and Nancy looked at the person before her. She calmly stood up


    and said, “Long time no see. Mr. Sherwood. Why are you alone? I thought Jasper woulde to see


    me himself.”


    Fabianposed his expression, ncing at the reporter beside him. “Leave.”


    This material belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    The reporter didn’t dare to linger and quickly ran out


    Fabian looked at Nancy with dissatisfaction. I thought you understood the message Mr. Smith asked


    me to deliver. A Swire person adapts to the circumstances. If you continue to cause trouble like this, it


    will only make you look worse.”


    Nancy didn’t take his words seriously. She nced down at her fingernails and said, “So what? As long


    as 1 achieve my goal, it’s fine. Since he didn’te in person this time, please ry a message to him


    for me. Our mutter won’t end so easily. He can forget about getting engaged to another woman… He


    can forget about it in this lifetime”


    Naked up ber mexpensiveg, ready to leave, but Fabian blocked her path. “Ms. Mulligan, votr

    public spreading of rumors about your rtionship with Mr. Smith has negatively impacted Smith


    Corporation. Thepany has reported this to the police. ording to thew, spreading false rumors


    is a crime that can lead to a sentence of three years or more.”


    Nancy looked at Fabian in disbelief. “Spreading rumors?”


    “Yes, that’s correct. Fabian spoke expressionlessly. “Mr. Smith gave you a chance. If you had behaved,


    there wouldn’t have been any issues. But now, what you’ve done has crossed Mr. Smith’s boundaries.


    The police will arrive in ten minutes. Before Mr. Smith’s engagement to Ms. Eileen, I’m afraid you will


    have to spend some time in jail.”


    Nancy burst into wildughter. “Hl. What a fantastic he! When Jasper was begging me not to leave,


    it wasn’t like this at all. I won’t believe a single word you’re saying. Either let hime to see ine now


    or get lost and release me


    Today is different from any other day. It’s time for you to wake up.”


    Just then a group of uniformed police officers arrived.


    Nancy didn’t expect the police to actually show up. I can’t believe it. Jasper actually sent someone to


    throw me into prison!


    Nancy was taken away, screaming andshing out at the police like a madwoman.


    In the end, she couldn’t escape her fate. Handcuffed, she was escorted directly to the police station.


    Within an hour. Fabian returned to Jasper to report.


    Smith Corporation issued a public statement. After investigating thements made by Ms. Nancy


    Mulligan in today’s live broadcast, we have found them to be false. We urge everyone to remain


    rational. If anyone continues to spread rumors about Smith Corporation based on this, legal action will


    be taken and the responsible party will be held ountable for any damages caused to thepany.


    We have already issued a legal notice regarding the defamation of the CEO of Smith Corporation, and


    we will pursue this matter with Ms. Nancy Mulligan until the end. Furthermore, the engagement


    between the CEO of Smith Corporation, Jasper Smuth, and the heiress of Caerulus Corporation.


    Eileen, has been scheduled for June 12th. The event will take ce at Primas Hotel


    As soon as the statement was released, the initial turmoil subsided, followed by a collective sigh from


    the crowd


    Some people knew whether the statement was true or not.


    Eileen spent the entire day in the school’s art studio and was thest to hear the news. She never


    expected so many things to happen on that day.


    Inside the car, Jasper asked her. “What would you like to eat tonight Shall we go to Blissorzo or have


    Epean cuisine!”


    Let’s go home and cat. I have to review again tonight, Eileen answered.


    Jasper noticed that Eileen seemed downcast. He gently pulled her towards him. inviting her to sit on his


    He tenderly brushed her hair, tilted his head, and shed a subtle smile. “What’s wrong? Aren’t you

    Eileen looked out of the car window, avoiding his gaze. “I saw that statement. Why won’t you tell the


    truth”


    Coms


    “Is it because of this Jasper asked, giving a slight sinile. The light in his eyes was inscrutabile, leaving


    one to wonder what he was thinking. He continued. “It’s just to avoid unnecessary trouble. After all,


    those things are in the past, and it’s meaningless to bring them up again Besides, I don’t want this to


    affect your mood. The exams areing up, aren’t they? You have two months left to prepare well.


    Whether you pass of not. I respect your choice.


    “Is it only because of this?” Eileen asked. With just a single sentence, he could casually erase his past


    with Nancy, but how could he act as if nothing ever happened His behavior makes him seem so


    unfamiliar to


    me


    Jasper lightly brushed her nose with his finger and replied, “What else could it be..” He took a deep


    breath and said. “Stop overthinking, okay? Do you want to go home? Let’s go home, okay? I’ve


    recently learned a few new dishes. I’ll cook them for you to try. How about that?”


    Eileen let go of her inner unease and curiously asked, “When did you learn to cook?”


    “It’s something I learned a long time ago. Is there any dish you’re craving?”


    “I’m fine with anything I’ll help you out in a bit.


    Jasper smiled and nodded. All right.


    Upon returning to the mansion, the two started preparing dinner,


    Jasper put on a cutece-trimmed apron, a stark contrast to his usual image, as if he were a


    completely different person.
