Semua Bab Divorced, Dazzling, and Desired: Bab 211 - Bab 220

Conrad, who had been quiet for a long while, teased, "Why, you seemed really concerned about Jasper's interest. What, are you into him?"Renee's cheeks flushed instantly as she shook her head repeatedly, her head almost leaving afterimages. "No, no, no—that's not it. I mean, it was just everyone talking about, and since I just got divorced, I don't want to jump from one grave to another that soon."That somehow really tickled Conrad's funny bone and he laughed as loud as he could. "Haha! See, Jasper?! Even Renee isn't into you… Oh, this is killing me!" In all the years he'd been friends with Jasper, this was probably the first time a woman had ever said no to his face.On the other hand, Jasper raised an eyebrow, his captivating but cold eyes staring pointedly at Renee in silence."Alright, that's enough—you're scaring my bestie, and she's really timid." Alison smiled, walking over to take Renee's hand and leading her to sit on the couch. "There. Now that we've all taken our seat

After staring at the selfie for a while, Jasper opened the hidden album he kept in his phone, which only had one photo.In it, a young maiden with a ponytail was standing beneath a tree, hugging a book.Naturally, it was a photo of Renee that Alison had taken during her freshman year. After returning home, she sent it to Jasper and told him that Renee was the fairest of the campus and also her best friend.She even offered to introduce them, in hopes that they might pursue a relationship.However, Renee was barely seventeen when she became a freshman since she skipped grades thanks to her academic excellency, while Jasper was twenty-three going on twenty-four—it was an age gap of up to six or seven years.Jasper snapped at Alison then, telling her not to focus on romance but to focus on her studies.And when he heard about Renee again, she was already Adam's girlfriend. "Thirsty… Water…"Just as Jasper was lost in his memories, Renee suddenly spoke, startling him.Swiftly p

As Renee was still silent after a long while, Alison then asked from outside, "What are you doing in there, babe? Why aren't you answering?"Her scalp tingling with anxiety, Renee motioned for Jasper to keep quiet as she answered, "My stomach hurts—I'm still in the bathroom. Don't worry, I'll be getting out soon."Jasper, his back flat on the bed, frowned at the woman who was inches away. "What? Is it really that embarrassing to let people know you and I are in the same room?"In fact, he initially wasn't going to let Alison know he was in Renee's bedroom either.After all, Renee was a woman, and she had a reputation to maintain.But now, it excited him to see her looking so afraid and timid."What? No…" Renee shook her head. "Then why are you panicking?""Well, I…" Renee stammered, but eventually looked around and sighed, "Please, you're the one and only Jasper Zeller—can't you please bear with it?"The more panicked she became, the more amused Jasper was."Hmm…" He raised

Luke's eyes glowed in realization, but he quickly kept his head down in silence as his heart skipped a beat!Even as he followed Jasper back inside his apartment, he texted Simon while Jasper was busy washing up in his bathroom.[I've got an exclusive, brother!]Simmon soon replied: [On who? The boss?][Who else?! You have no idea how shocked I was!]Simon felt curious right then: [What could be that shocking? Just give it to me now.][That will be $999.][Fuck off!][It's a bargain price. You have one minute before the price hikes.][Son of a… You're charging me $999 because you paid me $998 before?!]Still, Simon's fingers were honest and wired the money.At the next second, a notification came in. [Funds transferred.]Soon, another text came in. [I just saw the boss leaving Ms. Zeller's apartment, and long after she left with Ms. Whitley. He had a guilty look on her face too, so don't you think they did it? Most importantly, he was wearing the same clothes as last night.

After staying over an hour at Everest Group's R&D Department, Yvie appeared and told Renee, "Ms. Whitley? Mr. Zeller is asking to see you."Renee nodded, leaving some instructions with the R&D team before leaving with Yvie.The elevator was silent as they headed upstairs, and Renee eventually turned toward Yvie. "I know about what happened at Bodhi Hotel. Either way, thank you." Yvie wore a vibrant red silk blouse and a black skirt, her long, slightly curly hair cascading over her shoulders. With her thick-rimmed glasses, she had the air of a mature beauty.She raised an eyebrow at Renee, smiling faintly as she said, "Like I said, I wasn't going to do nothing."Renee held her gaze for a few seconds, a mixture of emotions welling up within her, but ultimately stayed silent.Ding—The elevator jingled as they reached the top floor.They stepped out together, and Yvie led her into the CEO's office, announcing, "Ms. Whitley is here, Mr. Zeller."And with that, she turned and le
