Chapter 208 The Bet Agreed Upon Three Years Ago
Upon seeing Jasper outside the door, Nancy gently placed the photo in her hand down and stood up with a smile. “Long time no see, Richie!”
Jasper’s demeanor suddenly turned icy cold. He stepped forward. “Who allowed you to return? Didn’t I make myself clear? You are not to appear before me ever again.”
Nancy smiled softly, rising from her chair. Her fingers traced the edge of the table as she walked over to him. “But weren’t you the one who wanted to see me first? Don’t forget, during the New Year, you stayed with me all night, Richie.”
“That’s enough. You have no business here. Fabian, get security to escort Ms. Mulligan out. From now on, she is not allowed to set foot in the office again. Also, fire the receptionist who let her in.”
Fabian replied. “Yes, Mr. Smith.”
Jasper, not wanting to see her, turned around and walked straight out of the office.
Nancy called out from behind him. “Richie, don’t you want to know why I left in the first place?”
Fabian glanced at the CEO, his lips pursed. At the same time, he caught the inscrutable look in Nancy’s eyes. As Fabian looked at her, it seemed as if something had shattered in the depths of his eyes.
Jasper didn’t stop in his tracks. As she watched his fading figure, a sharp pain pierced through Nancy’s heart.
“Richie, I’m telling you, you’re destined to never escape me in this lifetime!”
Fabian approached her. “Ms. Mulligan, why are you doing this? Mr. Smith is doing very well now. It’s better not to disturb him anymore. The money he has given you is enough for you to live comfortably for the rest of your life.”
Nancy put her glasses back on, giving him a cold glance. “Fabian, you played a significant role in my separation from Richie. What right do you have now to lecture me?”
