Chapter 279 Too Much Of A Coincidence

A surge of fury consumed Jasper’s heart. Like a man possessed, he pressed down hard on theaccelerator, venting his anger all the way to the school gate.

Eileen couldn’t comprehend how he had ended up in such a state. The atmosphere inside the car waschillingly cold.

“Get out!”

Eileen unbuckled her seatbelt and silently exited the car.

He stared intently at her retreating figure, his eyes filled with a somber light, brimming with anger andjealousy.

The fact that Eileen had betrayed him was something he found unbearable.

How could he possibly forgive her?

Should he turn a blind eye or pretend as if nothing had ever happened and continue to be with her?

He loved her so deeply, yet he had to endure her deception time and time again.

Jasper slammed his hand against the car window with such force that the skin over his knuckles split,and thin streams of blood began to flow out.

The Maybach stopped at the school gate for a good ten minutes. Jasper tried his best to suppress inhis heart. The ring lying in his palm was tightly clenched in his hand.

the

rage

Before long, Jasper received a call from Fabian. He sounded hesitant as he said, “Mr. Smith, I’ve foundall the information you asked for.”

A shadow fell over Jasper’s eyes. “Speak.”

“Ms. Eileen… indeed has had intimate interactions with Eric. Through his transaction history, it wasfound that he had bought quite a few… lingerie… from a lingerie store.” Fabian seemed to have somedithculty accepting this fact. “All of them were in Ms. Eileen’s size. When Ms. Eileen disappeared, shespent most of her time with Eric. The street surveillance footage also confirmed that he had indeedentered the house rented by Ms. Eileen. Besides, we’ve also hacked into Eric’s email and found quite afew exchanges with Ms. Eileen, including photos…”

At the mention of the photos, Fabian seemed to replace it hard to speak, his voice unusually fraught with

tension.

“What photos?”

“Well..” Fabian started to speak, then hesitated.

“Speak up!”

“Mr. Smith, I’ve already sent them to your email

Even without looking, Jasper already knew what those photos were

“Bring out the contract we prepared earlier for investing in Caerulus Corporation I want to seesignatures on it within three days Jasper’s voice was icy cold.

“Understood, Mr. Smith.”

Fabian didn’t dare to delve deeply into Jasper’s thoughts. If it hadn’t been for Jasper suddenlyrequesting an investigation into Eileen’s involvement with Eric, they would still be kept in the dark.

Fabian couldn’t believe what he was seeing either. Ms. Eileen, of all people, turns out to be this kind ofperson. She’s quite skilled to have kept up the pretense until now. After all, Ms. Eileen did have a pastrecord of bullying the weak, and she enjoyed spending her time in chaotic places like bars and clubs…For the sake of his adopted brother, she had done quite a few unconventional things.

Fabian had conducted numerous investigations to verify the truth. However, upon receiving the results,he was greatly shocked to replace that everything was not a fabrication.

In the past, Ms. Eileen would often skip class to spend time with Eric at his company, persistentlyseeking his attention. She even publicly declared herself to be his girlfriend. Eric was not interested inMs. Eileen. It was always her who had been relentlessly pursuing him. At Caerulus Corporation, anyemployee who looked even slightly attractive would be dismissed by her with just a sentence. Thosewho refused to leave would be publicly humiliated by her until they could no longer bear it and resignedon their own. This was well-known among all the employees at Caerulus Corporation. They also knewhow infatuated Ms. Eileen was with Eric.

Mr. Smith didn’t investigate before because he trusted Ms. Eileen! But upon delving deeper into theinvestigation now, he’s realizing that things are not as simple as initially imagined. The current Ms.Eileen/is simply unrecognizable compared to before. But she did truly betray Mr. Smith, secretlycommunicating with Eric and carrying on their affair under the radar. The goal is the benefits that SmithCorporation brings to Caerulus Corporation. Just when the engagement is about to happen, thisincident occurs. Is all of this just too much of a coincidence? It just had to be at

this moment.

They had obtained evidence of Eileen secretly communicating and colluding with Eric. Each piece ofevidence could sentence Eileen to death, yet, Fabian felt something was off, but he couldn’t pinpointwhat

was wrong.

Eric is the protege personally trained by Will. There is no telling what he has up his sleeves. Storingsuch important photos in an email inbox without setting a password is a bit too simple, isn’t it? What’seven stranger is that there are only these photos in the inbox, no other files… As the reigning power inHulbury, even the covert investigations by the police into the Swan family’s criminal evidence haveyielded no results in twenty years.

Reflecting on these photos, Fabian found it somewhat unbelievable that such important items werefound by them so easily.

In the evening, Jasper drank himself into a stupor. Despite the risk of getting into an accident, he drovehome drunk and returned to the Smith residence.

Suddenly, there was a loud bang at the door.

Eileen was in the middle of dinner when she heard the sound, and it truly scared her out of her wits

The housekeeper walked up to the door and exclaimed, “My goodness! The door!”

Eileen put down her fork and walked over, noticing the dent in the door from the impact as well as theclear imprint of a car’s front end.

The housekeeper hurriedly opened the door, only to replace the familiar car now wrecked Jasper stumbledout of the car, his clothes disheveled, his face streaked with dark traces of blood as it he had been in afight.

The housekeeper hurried forward to assist him. “Mr. Jasper, what happened to you? How did you get

injured?”

“Get lost!” Jasper roared at her.

Jasper walked into the foyer, spotting Eileen on one side. Yet, he pretended as if he hadn’t seen her,walking past her nonchalantly.

Eileen looked at him, her steps unhurried as she followed behind him. Seeing that he was about to fall,she quickly steadied him with one hand. “Jasper, drunk driving is very dangerous.”

“Are you not tired of this charade after all this time?” Jasper glanced at the housekeepers in the livingroom. “Leave, all of you!”

The housekeepers bowed their heads and quietly exited.

Jasper, leaning on the corridor railing, climbed the stairs with unsteady steps, swaying from side toside.

Eileen, feeling uneasy, asked a housekeeper to prepare a hangover remedy.

She then followed him up the stairs.

Jasper walked over to the wine rack in his bedroom. He uncorked a bottle of expensive red wine andpoured it directly into his mouth.

Eileen reached out to stop him. “Stop drinking. Your leg hasn’t healed yet. You can’t drink.”

“I told you to leave!” Jasper was furious. “Didn’t you say you wanted to go? Why are you still here?Leave!” He angrily threw the bottle of red wine onto the floor, shattering it. The broken glass flew upand grazed Eileen’s leg, causing a sudden sharp pain.

In that moment, Jasper appeared completely insane, resembling the old Jasper who was alwaysirritable and contemplating ending his own life.

Eileen didn’t say anything. She simply stepped forward and embraced him, pressing herself against hischest, her hand gently patting his back. “That’s enough. Can you stop being angry? I’ve told you beforethat no matter what happens, we can solve it together…”
