I Am the Sweetheart of Mr. CEO-Chapter 422 - 421: The Girl from Six Years Ago (25)

Eventually, his business expanded, and he was always on the move for work, which reduced their opportunities for contact. He wasn’t even aware when she resigned. It wasn’t until he returned to his home country for an event for the Ashton company that he ran into her at a dinner party.

By then, Irene Spencer was a dazzling figure in her formal evening dress, a brilliant female star in the limelight.

If she hadn’t initiated a conversation and reminded him of her time working at his company, he would have forgotten about her existence entirely.

Managing to work her way up from an ordinary girl, Kris Cooper held some admiration for her.

The two started meeting more often and naturally became closer. Whenever she would visit the US for performances or events, she would take the initiative to visit him.

Of course, their relationship was nothing more than a step above acquaintanceship. Fortunately, she didn’t pursue him too relentlessly, which he could tolerate.

It wasn’t until he returned to his home country that he found out she had become the spokesperson for both Ashton and Glimmer. Only then did they gradually become familiar, though they were just ordinary friends.

Originally, Kris Cooper held a fairly positive impression of her. He admired her warm temper, rare for such a successful star, and her hard work...

However, this time she directly targeted Vera Wave, greatly tarnishing Kris Cooper’s impression of her.

Could she be behind this incident?!

A middle-aged Criminal Police officer approached. "Mr. Cooper! Here’s the situation. We’ve just conducted inquiries among the others in the film crew. Everyone reported that there’s some tension between this Anabel Wilton and Miss Vera. As the victim’s fiancé, do you know of any quarrels between Anabel Wilton and Miss Vera?"

Anabel Wilton?

Kris Cooper turned his face and looked at Anabel Wilton, who was being interrogated not far away.

Concerning such a minor character, he originally wouldn’t have given her much thought. However, upon the Criminal Police officer’s inquiry, a memory resurfaced.

Previously, Vera had mentioned that Anabel Wilton had secretly taken photos of her.

Could it be her?!

"She once secretly took photos of Vera and leaked them to journalists," he revealed.

The Criminal Police officer pulled up the saved photos on his phone. "Are these the ones?"

Kris Cooper nodded. "Correct."

Although Vera had asked him to ignore the matter, he had privately investigated. He knew that someone had secretly handed the photos to journalists and even traced the email address used to send the pictures.

"Could you write a statement for us?" the Criminal Police officer asked.

"Of course."

Anything related to Vera, Kris Cooper would certainly not refuse.

After signing the written statement, Kris Cooper lifted his face to inquire, "Can I go and see Anabel Wilton?"

The Criminal Police officer shook Cooper’s hand. "Mr. Cooper, I understand your feelings. Please trust our Criminal Police. We will investigate and provide you with an answer."

The Criminal Police officer turned and walked in the direction of the police car, and Kris Cooper followed him.

Tommy Taylor jumped out of a taxi, ran to Kris Cooper’s side, and blocked his way. "Cooper! Where are you heading?"

"To the police station!"

He had to get to the bottom of this matter.

"Please calm down. Since the Criminal Police are already on the case, let’s just wait for the news, can we?"

Kris Cooper pushed him away. "No! I don’t trust those idiots!"

Tommy Taylor rushed up again, blocking him. "Cooper! Have you forgotten the promise you made to Miss Vera?"

At these words, Kris Cooper stopped in his tracks.
