Flash Marriage: She becomes Mrs. CEO after the Failed Dowry Talk-Chapter 822: You and VK Will Both Be Affected
If the matter of Peach Bell’s injury is not properly resolved, Nora Northwood certainly won’t be able to walk away unscathed.
Simply put, Peach Bell is using this incident to threaten Jasper Sinclair, wanting either money or status.
On a more complicated level, if she blows this matter up for everyone to know, both Nora and the operations of VK would be implicated.
It was only at this moment that Nora realized clearly.
No matter the circumstances, Jasper Sinclair always manages to maintain a clear head, methodically cleaning up the mess for her.
She started to regret it; if she hadn’t softened because of Liam Jacobs’ words and come to the hospital, perhaps the subsequent series of events wouldn’t have happened.
What puzzled her was whether this accident was premeditated or just a spontaneous occurrence.
No matter how much she thought, Nora would never have guessed that Peach Bell would go so far as to sacrifice a leg to frame her.
Of course, she also hadn’t expected that Jasper Sinclair would truly be so heartless towards Peach.
After ending the call, Jasper Sinclair’s breathing noticeably slowed down quite a bit.
When he entered the hospital room, he saw Peach sobbing on the bed like a tearful mess.
He glanced past the young girl and directly looked at Liam Jacobs, his tone cool and severe, "I have already warned you and your sister not to disturb the lives of me and my wife."
His questioning was within Liam’s expectations; the latter explained unhurriedly, saying, "Director Sinclair, I hope you understand my feelings as a brother. Peach wouldn’t listen to the doctor and insisted on seeing you. I had no choice but to ask your wife to help advise her."
"So, you are satisfied with the current situation?"
"No, but it’s something you and your wife have caused."
Liam seemed determined to bite back, even standing straighter than usual.
"The young master of the Jacobs Family, it turns out, is a biting dog after all. Truly eye-opening."
Upon hearing this, Liam’s face turned several shades, looking as unpleasant as it could get.
His hands, hanging at his sides, clenched into fists, the veins on his knuckles prominent, indicating he was holding back great anger.
He called Jasper by his full name, "If it weren’t for my sister’s kindness in taking care of your parents back then, you probably wouldn’t even know the cause of their death. Now look at how cleanly you’re washing your hands of it. You should have died abroad like your parents and never returned!"
Each sentence more unpleasant than the last.
Jasper Sinclair remained extremely calm, noticing Liam’s earlier words.
Parents?
Cause of death?
These words touched upon his blind spot, making him unaware of the true story. No wonder Peach would resort to any means to stick around him... 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞
Without knowing the full story, Jasper Sinclair couldn’t act recklessly.
He temporarily set aside the grievances, issuing a final warning: "Don’t just speak of my faults; think carefully about how the Jacobs Family treated Peach, how she was forced onto this path."
"The matters of the Jacobs Family are none of your business, but you and your wife have caused my sister to be unable to walk freely. This I will remember."
The threat in Liam Jacobs’ words couldn’t have been more obvious.
Compared to his agitation, Jasper Sinclair was much calmer, in a manner that was noteworthy compared to his demeanor in the conference room.
On the way here, Jasper Sinclair had been considering countless possibilities: if money could settle it, nothing would be better.
If not, it would depend on how greedy the siblings were.
