    Chapter 1239 I Am Afraid


    Berti put the phone back to his ear again and asked, “How do you spell herst name?”


    After ending the call, Berti rushed to the CEO''s office with the documents. Upon entering the office,


    he ced the files on the desk before reporting, “Mr. Sutton, ady named Yasmin Leatham wants to


    discuss matters regarding Ms. Loake with you.”


    Hearing that, Cooper—who had just removed his jacket and hung it on the coat rack—immediately


    turned around to face Berti. “Who''s Yasmin Leatham?”


    “An employee from the operations department''s second team.”


    Cooper did not know the woman at all. Yet, considering she knew Sally, he asked Berti to bring


    Content property of N?velDra/ma.Org.


    Yasmin to his office right away.


    Five minutester, Yasmin—who was d in professional attire—entered the office with Berti.


    Cooper swept his gaze over Yasmin''s face. Due to his excellent memory, he instantly remembered he


    had seen this woman before while having a meal at Tiffany''s ce that day. “You''re Tiffany Yerton''s


    cousin, right?”


    “Yes, I am,” Yasmin replied smilingly. “I didn''t expect you to remember me, Mr. Sutton.”


    Not wishing to waste time bbering nonsense with her, Cooper adjusted his sses and inquired,


    “You said you want to discuss something about Sally with me. What do you know?”


    “Mr. Sutton, I want ten million,” Yasmin requested as she walked to the desk, lowering her head to look


    at Cooper.


    I know Cooper is wealthy. However, I stole this from someone else, and Cooper will definitely search


    for that person and settle the score with him. Besides, I don''t dare to ask for more, for I still wish to


    continue working in the finance industry.


    Upon hearing Yasmin''s demand, Cooper leaned back in his chair and scoffed. “It''s crazy how you have


    the audacity to ask me for ten million even when you haven''t even answered my question.”


    “I believe ten million is just an insignificant figure for you, Mr. Sutton. Also, I think the item is worth the


    price.”


    “Get out!” Cooper snapped, his expression glum.


    The sudden change in his attitude caught Yasmin off guard, causing her to panic. Biting the bullet, she


    tried persuading him. “Mr. Sutton, I know you''re looking for Sally. Don''t you wish to know the reason


    you can''t find her?”


    Not daring to negotiate with Cooper any further, Yasmin took out her phone and tapped on the screen.


    “I''ve already emailed you. Contact me after checking it out.”


    After that exchange, Cooper watched Yasmin exit the office before shifting his gaze to theputer. In


    his inbox was a new unread email that he received over ten seconds ago.


    Cooper couldn''t fathom how an insignificant employee like Yasmin would have the nerve to utter such


    nonsense in front of him. She didn''t even tell me what her leverage is, but she arrogantly demanded


    ten million from me.


    With that thought in mind, he sneered quietly and clicked on the email from Yasmin.


    There was a video attached to the email. As Cooper watched the video, the nonchnt look in his eyes


    was gradually reced by grimness, and his hand that was holding the mouse trembled.


    He trained his eyes on Sally, whose face was pale in the video. She was biting her lip, stubbornly


    remaining silent.


    Staring at the screen, Cooper found his sight slowly bing blurry. Although he could no longer see


    what was happening in the video, Sally''s devastating voice still reverberated in his ears.


    She is such a prideful person, and she has never been humiliated like this before... I assumed she left


    the hospital abruptly that day in order to find an opportunity to approach Zeno and take revenge against


    him. I didn''t know she had contributed so much without my knowledge.


    Cooper''s heart lurched, and the pain was so intense that he felt suffocated. It took him a while to adjust


    his breathing before he pulled his phone out and dialed a number, his hand trembling.


    “Sorry. The number you have dialed is busy at the moment...”


    Cooper kept trying to call Sally, draining his phone''s battery until a reminder to charge his phone


    popped up on the screen. Then, he swiftly sent her a text: Please answer my calls. I admit that I care


    about you, not about why you left. I''ve found out about your agreement with Tiffany. I don''t believe in


    karma and am not afraid of it.


    As soon as Cooper''s text message was sent out, his phone shut down.


    He searched for the charger frantically and plugged the cable into his phone posthaste. However, his


    phone couldn''t be switched on as the battery waspletely drained.


    He then hurried to the secretarial department and took Berti''s phone from the desk. “What''s the


    password?”


    Berti didn''t dare dy and promptly told Cooper the password.


    Upon unlocking the phone, Cooper inserted his SIM card into Berti''s phone. Soon, the data on his


    SIM card was sessfully transferred to the phone, and he saw Sally''s reply from a minute ago: But


    I''m afraid.
