Sally, sharp as ever, noticed the way Jason was looking at her and immediately sensed that his gaze wasn’t exactly innocent. She quickly flashed him a smile and extended her hand towards him.
“Mr. Greene, it’s a pleasure to meet you,”
To her surprise, Jason simply nodded in acknowledgment and made no move to shake her hand. The atmosphere suddenly became awkward and Sally looked at her father as if searching for guidance on what to do next.
Seeing his daughter’s confusion, Fabian immediately stepped forward and shielded her, then with a flattering smile, he gestured towards the empty seat across from them.
“Mr. Greene, please, take a seat. You must be thirsty, allow me to pour you a glass of water”
But just as Fabian was about to pour the water, Jason interrupted him. “Mr. Brooke, please step outside. I need to talk with your daughter” Hearing Jason’s words, Fabian felt that Jason had genuinely taken an interest in his daughter and a smile of restrained happiness spread across his face. He quickly nodded and left the room, but not before turning back to remind Sally.
“Sally, make sure you cooperate with Mr. Greene, understand? Il be waiting for you both outside.”
Sally’s cheeks flushed slightly, feeling a bit embarrassed. She glanced at Jason and said with a shy smile, “Mr. Greene, now that my father Tas left what would you like to discuss with me?”
Her voice was as sweet as a candy, with an underlying allure that was difficult for anyone to resist!
But Jason didn’t seem affected at all. Without lifting his eyes, he took out a photograph from his briefcase and handed it to Sally. “Do you recognize the person in this photo?
Sally froze for a moment, then bent down to pick up the photo on the table. She immediately recognized that the girl in the photo was herself heading to the airport. There was another girl next to her, but that girl was wearing a black mask and hat, making it impossible to see her face. Was Mr. Greene asking if she recognized this girt?!
Sally’s expression became complicated as she looked at Jason and shook her head, saying, “I don’t know her
She could clearly feel that after she said those words, the temperature in the room instantly dropped. The low pressure surrounding Jason continuously pressed toward her and the cold made her shiver. Then, she heard Jason’s cold voice &
“I’ll give you one more chance. Who is the woman standing next to you? What is your relationship with her?”
Sally knew that if she continued to hide the truth, she would be in trouble. After a moment of hesitation, as if making up her mind, she spoke up.
“She’s the wife of my mother’s attending physician. Her name is Tessa Noris. The reason I said I don’t know her earlier is because her husband warned me not to disclose any information about his wife to the outside world “X
That attending physician was the heir of a well–known noble family abroad. He was someone with a status not much different from Jason’s. With just a flick of his finger, he could destroy the Brooke Family, which was why she chose not to speak at first.
But if she angered Jason, with his power in the country, the Brooke Family’s downfall would be even faster. Even a fool could tell who to choose.
However, for some reason, when she mentioned that the woman was someone elses wife, Jason’s entire face darkened,
“Since her husband is your mother’s attending physician, you should know where they live, right? Or the hospital where her husband
works
The photo in Jason’s hand was taken by one of his subordinates and sent to him. At that time, he immediately thought the woman’s eyes looked exactly like Karen’s, even the position of the tear male at the corner of her eye was the same
At first, he thought he was overthinking it. Karen had died five years ago and her artificial heart was still kept in his basement. There was no way she could still be alive
that he
It wasn’t until his subordinate sent him a message, telling him that the woman looked exactly like Karen after removing her mask, th was certain it wasn’t just an illusion.!
