PopularNovelDespite being a luxurious VIP ward, the room lacked a carpet. Jean felt a chill seep from her feet to her very core as she stood on the cold, bare tiles.
Brad wasn't as concerned about her anymore, and her emotions didn't seem to affect him. The usual pitiful act she put on didn't seem to hold any power over him either.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtJust a moment ago, he didn't so much as look her way before turning on his heel and leaving. His eyes held a blizzard within them, cold and utterly detached.
Her sobs were grating on Lynn's nerves. Lynn rolled her eyes before forcefully dragging Jean back to the bed. While tucking her in, she said, "Ms. Sawyer, you need to stop crying and start thinking about how to win Mr. Hamilton back. I noticed the way he looked at you earlier-he's disappointed. And once a man feels that way, it's only a matter of tbefore he turns to another woman." Lynn added as if to hurt, "Need I remind you he still has a wife named Nadine?" Lynn didn't particularly enjoy looking after Jean. She was just using Jean as a means to an end, to see Brad. Brad was a man who was far out of her league- like the glowing moon high in the sky, while she was a mere speck of dust. All she could do was admire him from afar.
Jean was the only reason she could see Brad in person. Otherwise, the only place she'd ever see him was in magazines or on TV. Even though she also wanted to be with Brad-to be his woman-he had never once looked her way.
Aware of the vast chasm between them, coupled with the fact that Brad would never be interested in her, Lynn stuck by Jean just to catch a glimpse of him from afar. The occasional glance was all she needed.
Jean, her eyes red and puffy from crying, cto her senses after hearing Lynn's words. She wiped away her tears, clenching her fists.
"You're right. I can't just give up like this! Brad and I go way back-we were childhood sweethearts! He's a man who honors his word, and he promised to look afterfor life. I can't let this defeat me. I'm going to win him back and make sure he listens toand no one else!" The setback only served to fuel Jean's competitive spirit. "Just you wait, Nadine Scott!" As soon as Brad left the VIP room, he had Cameron look into the pictures. Since Jean had sent them to Nadine, that meant they originated from her. But where had she gotten them? Just then, a terrifying yet bold thought crossed his mind. Brad stopped dead in his tracks, gazing at the distant skyline as a sudden chill ran down his spine.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe wondered, "If these pictures weren't taken by the paparazzi or me... Who else but Jean could have taken them?" Initially, he believed Nadine might have deliberately done this to slander Jean. But now, it seemed like he had wronged her. A myriad of emotions washed over him all at once, leaving a strange taste in his mouth.
It didn't take long for Cameron to get back to him over the phone. "I've looked into the matter, Mr. Hamilton. After consulting the experts, based on the angle of the photos, the photographer should be Ms. Sawyer. No one else could have taken them from such proximity.
"Also, regarding the claim that Mr. Hamilton Senior had people harass Ms. Sawyer; I've questioned the bodyguards, and they toldthat he merely warned Ms. Sawyer. He did not lay a hand on her. In O conclusion, Ms. Sawyer lied."
Cameron was aware that he was treading on dangerous ground with Brad. Afraid of being punished, he immediately ended the call after getting his point across, worried that he would be caught in his boss' fury.
After hanging up, he muttered under his breath, dean must be out of her mind! What was she thinking? Of all people, why would she frMr. Hamilton Senior? She might not value her own life, but I do! Causing such a scene-was she not worried Mr. Hamilton would find out the truth? Doesn't she realize the consequences she'd face if he did? "Damn, maybe I should request a business trip. I could get out of here and lay low
for a while. Yeah, that sounds like a great idea. Let's do it!" Cameronm immediately drafted a business trip request and sent it to Brad's email.
