y Along
“Alright, you can go home now,” Jake finally said in annoyance.
What a fool. It was such simple reasoning, and yet she couldn’t grasp it!
“Nothing bad will happen, right?” De couldn’t help but ask.
“No. Don’t worry.”
Despite Jake’s confidence, De still couldn’t shake off her anxiety. What made it worse was that
nothing happened between Larry and her, yet she had to y along.
Jake noticed the change in her expression and decided to probe. “Ms. Duff, I suppose you and Larry
have already… “
“No.” De’s reply was quick, and the disappointment on her face was clear as day.
Jake stared open-mouthed at her. Is she joking? He had gone to so much trouble to set this all up, yet
she didn’t fulfill her part of the deal? Jake paced around De in frustration, wondering if he should
believe her.
Does she really like Larry? They spent the night together in a hotel room and nothing happened?
“Ms. Duff, can you tell me exactly what happenedst night?”
Jake couldn’t get past his curiosity of how a drugged man could have resisted that much temptation.
Under those circumstances, there was no reason De wouldn’t have gotten her way with him!
“He slept in the bathroom the whole night,” De finally replied with a sigh.
No wonder!
Larry, you’re one hell of a cautious man! Jake turned to look out the windows, a cold glint in his eyes.
Even though they hadn’t done the actual deed, the fact that the journalists had snapped photos of them
together in the room should suffice.
“I got it. You just have to insist that you had done it with him,” Jake said with a darkened gaze.
It was easy for Jake toe up with the suggestion, but it was De who had to live with the guilt. She
usually opposed such despicable acts, yet she was the one carrying it out now.
“Why? You don’t want to? You can choose not to admit it. Just don’t forget your initial goal when you
agreed to our n!”
De frowned and looked a little defeated.
Jake’s right. All this is for Larry. I have to keep that in mind.
Jake, on the other hand, was getting increasingly annoyed at De for being so indecisive. “Don’t be
silly! If you don’t take the initiative, do you think Larry would care about you?”
De felt very conflicted as she furrowed her brows even deeper.
Since things havee to this point, let’s just throw caution to the wind! With a renewed determination,
De straightened up and looked Jake in his eyes. “I understand.”
Brilliant! Jake smiled as he patted her shoulders, pleased that she had finallye to her senses.
Back at Norton Corporation, Larry was pacing around in his office, his anxiety in overdrive.
“Larry, how could you have gotten a room with De?” Caspian chided.
Before this, Caspian had always strongly believed that Larry loved only Joan and would never let her
down. But now, he couldn’t be sure anymore.
“I didn’t,” Larry muttered as he held his head.
Caspian was bbergasted. How could he not have? How would he exin the photos, the reports,
and even the video? Were they all pranks? Besides, there were cameras in the hotels that could easily
prove it…
“Larry, don’t you think you owe Joan an exnation?”
Larry looked away and sighed deeply.
Thankfully Joan wasn’t in the country. Otherwise, he really wouldn’t know how to exin things to her.
“Not now. She’s overseas,” he replied.
“I still think it’d be better if you exined it to her soon! With how fast news spread on the inte and
with you being a prominent figure… “

Larry was still feeling stressed about having to exin things to Joan when Jessica stormed into the
office yelling for him.
Oh, damn it. She’s only going to make it worse for me.
Caspian immediately ran up to stop her. “Don’t be rash. Let’s talk things through!”
“He has been caught in the act! What more can I say?” Jessica angrily replied as she pushed Caspian
away.
