The Celibate Tycoon Has Fallen-Chapter 126: Can I Count on You to Care About Me?
Nancy Alden didn’t know why, but somehow she was intimidated by these words.
Even though Jasper Yale was still here, even though... she had nothing to fear from her.
Yet Nancy Alden shivered.
She didn’t want to lose to Yelena Hughes in terms of momentum, the Hughes woman had no evidence, so why pin her down?
"I don’t know anything about your sister’s video..."
"I don’t need to hear your explanation, I’ve already made up my mind about you."
This world wasn’t just black and white, and just because she left no evidence behind, doesn’t erase the evil she did.
Yelena Hughes’ gaze fell on Jasper Yale’s face, she reached out her hand.
"Deleted as well, can I leave now?"
Jasper Yale took the phone from Nancy Alden’s hand, but didn’t hand it to Yelena Hughes. "Are you so sure this has to do with Nancy?"
"Yes. Don’t tell me why, young master, I don’t have time to look for so-called evidence. My sister is worried daily, her health is deteriorating. If I hadn’t taken the risk today, I would now be humiliated on some old man’s bed. Maybe it would even be recorded. I just want to live cleanly, but Miss Alden wants me to accompany different men, the more disgusting the better, isn’t that right?"
"You’re talking nonsense!" Nancy Alden wanted to stop Yelena Hughes from speaking. She dared to say it out loud, dared to go all out.
She thought that if she grasped Yelena Hughes’ weak spot, she could trample her forever.
"What old man, what video of your sister, I know nothing about it."
Jasper Yale opened Yelena Hughes’ phone and quickly saw those conversations.
The person told her to go to The Avalon Banquet and spend the night with President York.
Jasper Yale looked emotionless, his eyes almost devoid of light.
"Did Miss Alden think that for my sister’s sake I would agree to your demands, that after tonight I would be ruined and rotten, is that it?"
Yelena Hughes had never hated someone so much before, "You repeatedly dragged me down into the mire, determined to keep my head down. I can be humble like dust, but you insist on making me live like a maggot."
"Heh, a cornered dog will still jump over a wall."
Yelena Hughes looked at Nancy Alden, whose face was streaked with tears, looking pitiful; as if crying wasn’t something anyone could do.
She was just used to being strong and furthermore knew that tears were useless.
She wasn’t Nancy Alden, her tears wouldn’t move anyone.
Despite that, Yelena Hughes’ eyes still reddened, she tilted her chin up slightly, enduring the stinging tears.
Jasper Yale noticed the redness at the corners of her eyes and felt a sharp pain in his heart.
Nancy Alden wrapped her clothes tighter around herself, looking even more pitiful than Yelena Hughes.
"Is it because of your assumptions, your groundless assertions, that since you can’t find anyone else to suspect, you’ve directed all your anger at me?"
Nancy Alden’s shoulders trembled, "You’re a journalist, haven’t you made enemies?"
What Yelena Hughes was certain of, she couldn’t deny.
She stepped in front of Jasper Yale, "Can I leave now?"
Jasper Yale was typing something on Yelena Hughes’ phone, she had a bad feeling and reached out to grab it.
Jasper Yale pressed her shoulder with one hand, and with the other, he showed her the phone.
He had sent a message to Dean Holloway.
He asked, "Did you receive it?"
Dean Holloway didn’t suspect anything, he replied directly, "Got the full version, damn, it’s explosive!"
Yelena Hughes’s expression changed rapidly, her raised arm weakened significantly, and she looked at Jasper Yale’s face, coldness carved into his refined features.
"Does your male colleague also have a copy?"
Yelena Hughes pursed her lips, trying to appear as calm as possible.
But her eyelashes fluttered slightly, she heard the coldness in Jasper Yale’s words.
After all, this was the woman he adored, and not only had she filmed her naked, but also sent it to Dean Holloway.
Nancy Alden was even more stunned, spilling out hopeless words from her mouth.
"Jasper, what are you saying?"
What do you mean her male colleague also has it?
Yelena Hughes closed her eyes in resignation, "As long as Miss Alden doesn’t cause trouble, I’ll be more compliant than her."
"Is this the method you came up with to restrain Nancy?"
"Miss Alden didn’t give me time, I couldn’t think of a better way, I could only give this a try."
Yelena Hughes seemed like a fearless lunatic as she watched Jasper Yale send another message to Dean Holloway.
"Where are you?"
"At the office, I haven’t gone home yet."
Once he got the answer, he walked to the door and called for Hailey Jenkins.
Jasper Yale pulled the door open, Hailey Jenkins turned sideways to approach, "Young master, what can I do for you?"
"Go find this Dean Holloway and retrieve the video Yelena Hughes sent him."
"Alright."
Yelena Hughes quickly followed, "Don’t hurt him!"
Jasper Yale closed the door again, Yelena Hughes’ words may have reached outside, but Hailey Jenkins wouldn’t listen to her.
"Don’t hurt him!" she repeated feebly.
Jasper Yale’s inner ear seemed to be hit hard, he glanced at Yelena Hughes’ nearly enraged face.
"If you’re worried about him, you shouldn’t have involved him."
Yelena Hughes pulled out a faint, cold smile, "It’s really funny, young master. But isn’t your Miss Alden the instigator of all this?"
"Jasper, I really didn’t do anything, so why is she repeatedly accusing me?"
Even though Nancy Alden suffered great humiliation, the opportunity in front of her now was the best, she had to seize it.
"You deleted the video from my phone and took the backup from Dean, what about my sister? You promised to help me too." Yelena Hughes almost shouted.
Jasper Yale looked at Yelena Hughes’ anguished expression, almost in a trance, with a sense of going all out.
"Your sister will be fine."
But he lightly said only those few words.
Yelena Hughes seemed like she had a bucket of cold water poured over her head, "To young master, as long as no one dies, that’s fine, right?"
Nancy Alden listened to their conversation and felt Jasper Yale seemed to have changed.
Even though Yelena Hughes was so excessive, he didn’t even get angry, he just took a breath and repeated what he had just said.
"I said, I’ll keep your sister safe."
"When the knife isn’t stabbing into yourself, people never feel the pain. Young master, my sister has no ties to you. Now it’s just you and Miss Alden before you, can I hope you’ll show a bit of sympathy for us?"
Of course not.
Yelena Hughes wiped the haziness from her eyes.
"Nancy Alden, stop targeting me, all you want is for me to stay far away from him. As long as you give me a way out, I won’t see young master again, okay?"
Nancy Alden gritted her teeth, this woman was sinister and cunning, she didn’t believe her.
"I don’t understand what you’re talking about."
Those words were exactly what Jasper Yale wanted to say. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢
Never see him again? Ridiculous. One moment she’s talking about asking for his help, next moment she wants to kick him out?
