Sextuplets From Ruthless Love
Chapter 62

How could he blame it on the crowd's pushing when the wall had such poor structural integrity? It was common for bits of loose concrete on this wall to fall on unlucky passers-by. "Martin, have you come to tell me who she is?"

Martin felt a cold rush of fear down his spine as he met Trevor's hard gaze.

"Janice..."

Martin was dumbfounded as well. She had been left at the mercy of the men in the underground circles. It would have been impossible for her to escape.

"Do you know what this means?"

Trevor's brows were furrowed. How could a person in Horington who he wanted dead still be alive?

"This is all because of my inadequacy. Please give me another chance. I promise to do it right this time around."

Martin bowed his head as he feared meeting Trevor's eyes.

Mr. Gulliford would always reward those who did their jobs well. On the contrary, the consequences would be dire upon failure.

"You've been working under me for eight years now. This is the first and last time I'm willing to overlook such a mistake."

Trevor side-eyed him as he turned to address the general manager, who was walking over nervously.

The general manager noticed Janice bowing in front of Mr. Gulliford, and his heart clenched in foreboding.

"I'm appointing her as my secretary in Candor Union Company from today onward."

Trevor pointed at Jessica as he uttered coolly.

"Yes, sir."

The general manager jumped to agree at once with a smile on his face.

"Follow me."

Trevor instructed as he entered the Chairman's office without a glance backward.

Jessica jerked to the awareness that he was addressing her and followed behind reluctantly.

"How may I assist you, Mr. Gulliford? Would you perhaps like a cup of coffee?"

Jessica stood by the door after shutting it as she presented her most comely smile.

"Now that you're my secretary, you may sit at you desk over there and begin work."

Trevor feigned disinterest as he fiddled with his ballpoint pen while throwing surreptitious glances at Jessica. "A-All right then."

Jessica was worried that she would accidentally reveal herself by working in plain sight of him.

But she would arouse even more suspicion if she were to resign now.

She perused the documents at hand as she headed to her work desk.

Trevor's schedule for the afternoon was packed. He truly was a workaholic.

No wonder he was so accomplished at such a young age. His workload was simply horrific.

Jessica thought to herself as she shook her head.

Jonathan couldn't compare to him one bit.

Back when the financial situation of the Jackson residence was in dire straits, Trevor had handed over most of his resources to Jonathan to curry her favor.

But he was still a fool in her eyes.

How naive she was back then!

Her fair and slender fingers flipped

It was already time for her lunch break as she stretched her stiff muscles in exhaustion and organized them in a pile.

Just then, Martin knocked on the door as he brought Bennett along with him.

Regardless of how busy he was, Trevor would never fail to have lunch with his son. He felt he owed it to Bennett as a father.

The good-looking and obedient child instantly captured Jessica's attention the moment he entered the office.

He had grown so much after not seeing him for three years.

His prominent nose, well-defined brows, and graceful yet distant mannerisms were a carbon copy of Trevor.

Jessica couldn't help worrying for

the child. He was reading a medical book and was so engrossed int that he seemed to block out his surroundings.

What would the future of such a solitary nine-year-old child be like?

Trevor took note of Jessica's attentiveness toward Bennett as his long fingers tapped out a rhythm on the desk's surface.

He narrowed his eyes thoughtfully.
