Janet 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, she laughed 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.
Janet immediately went to the bathroom and washed thoroughly, wanting to get rid of all the things,
including scents, related 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 chemical laboratory 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 glanced at Nathaniel’s face secretly at the same time.
Alfred thought, I knew later 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 Janet 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 glanced 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 Janet 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 Investigation comes to an end…
He didn’t realize that he had already subconsciously believed in Janet.
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 a lackey!
You’ll be the first person I deal with after I marry Nathaniel!
Well I’m glad 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 succeed this time, Janet wasn’t benefited, either.
Before, I was certain that Nathaniel loved me, and I figured that Janet wasn’t a threat, but now it seems that I have been wrong.
No way!
I won’t let Nathaniel fall in love with Janet. Even if I don’t get to marry Nathaniel, that doesn’t mean Janet can!
On the second day of the Convention, the competition for APP ownership began in earnest.
Janet 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 also come out of the next room.
Both were stunned, and the scene from last night emerged in his mind.
Nathaniel’s lips moved, and he wanted to say something, but Janet looked away before he could speak
and left directly.
