    Chapter 156 It’s Nothing Like That


    J returned to her room and closed the door hard. She leaned against the door and closed her eyes


    entirely, unable to calm down for a long time.

    The scene of Nathaniel kissing her emerged in her mind, and she felt something..


    In the next second, sheughed at herself for having such a feeling and being so useless.


    She thought, how could I still let him affect me?


    His lips were once pressed against Anastasia’s. Such a thought disgusts me.


    J immediately went to the bathroom and washed thoroughly, wanting to get rid of all the things,


    including scents, rted to him.


    Meanwhile, after Alfred took Anastasia away, he sent the room’s scented candles to be examined at


    the earliest opportunity. The testing agency was a chemicalboratory under the Webster Group, and


    soon, he had the result.


    “Mr. Webster, we’ve got the result. They are just… ordinary scented candles.”


    Alfred handed the investigation report to Nathaniel.


    Alfred nced at Nathaniel’s face secretly at the same time.


    Alfred thought, I knewter that Mr. Webster suspected that he had been drugged, and he forced Ms.


    Longfellow.


    But there is nothing fishy about the result.


    Nathaniel couldn’t help frowning after being stunned for a second. He thought, they are just ordinary


    scented candies? So, what I just did to J was instinctive?


    Nathaniel was silent. Seeing that, Alfred boldly said, “Actually… Mr. Webster has been talking about


    Ms. Longfellow all the time. If you can’t get over Ms. Longfellow, why don’t you ask her back?”


    Nathaniel thought, I can’t get over her?


    He denied it subconsciously and nced at Alfred. He said to Alfred, “You can go out now.”


    Nathaniel thought, it’s nothing like that.


    It’s just that ever since we were apart, she has been surprising me, showing me sides I’d never seen


    before, making me feel that she is so special.


    Somehow, I missed that J from a few months ago.


    Back then, when she looked at me, her eyes were still full of expectation and love.


    I am blue. Maybe I should apologize to her when Alfred’s Investigationes to an end…


    He didn’t realize that he had already subconsciously believed in J.


    After Anastasia was taken away by Alfred, she was arranged to go to a hotel nearby.


    In fact, she tried to make a fuss, but Alfred acted so righteously and coldly, telling her to go to


    Nathaniel directly if she had something to say, and he was just following orders.


    Anastasia was furious. She thought, Alfred, you are just ackey!


    You’ll be the first person I deal with after I marry Nathaniel!


    Well I’m d that I didn’t drug Nathaniel directly. Instead, I went with the scented candles. Nothing will


    look fishy if those candles are


    brought in for a test. It’s just that once someone drinks a lot, those candles will kick in thanks to the


    alcohol.


    If Nathaniel found out anything. I would never be allowed to get close to him.


    Fortunately, although I didn’t seed this time, J wasn’t benefited, either.


    Before, I was certain that Nathaniel loved me, and I figured that J wasn’t a threat, but now it seems


    that I have been wrong.


    No way!


    I won’t let Nathaniel fall in love with J. Even if I don’t get to marry Nathaniel, that doesn’t mean


    J can!


    On the second day of the Convention, thepetition for APP ownership began in earnest.


    J was dressed in light–gray formal attire, looking very capable. As soon as she walked out of the


    room, she bumped into Nathaniel who had alsoe out of the next room.


    Both were stunned, and the scene fromst night emerged in his mind.


    Nathaniel’s lips moved, and he wanted to say something, but J looked away before he could speak


    and left directly.
