CHAPTER 713: CHAPTER 713: THE BRACELET IN THE PASSENGER SEAT

The two of them had lunch together in the office dining area.

Nora Northwood had nothing to do in the afternoon, so she stayed at The Sinclair Group to accompany Jasper Sinclair at work.

She was lounging boredly on the single-person sofa, occasionally tapping on the iPad’s home screen.

She didn’t get the ambassador title for The Global Assembly’s fragrance event, which somewhat affected her mood, and she hadn’t created a new piece for over half a month.

In fact, she didn’t even have the slightest inspiration.

This realization made Nora feel increasingly irritated.

The irritation persisted until six o’clock in the evening when she sat in the passenger seat of Jasper Sinclair’s car, and something under her seat gave her a sharp pain.

Nora reached behind to touch it; it was a bracelet with a four-leaf clover design.

Without thinking, she put it on her wrist, and a light "click" came from the clasp. Soon, she realized something was wrong.

The bracelet wasn’t the one she owned...

Nora had an identical malachite bracelet, a gift from Jasper Sinclair when he returned from France.

Because her wrist was slimmer than most, it had been specially adjusted.

At this moment, seeing the fit, she could tell it wasn’t hers.

In other words, another woman had sat in Jasper Sinclair’s passenger seat.

The thought of this connection, seemingly deep in consideration, actually took just two seconds to form in Nora’s mind.

The handsome man beside her had already started the car and was driving into the traffic.

To avoid distracting his driving, Nora chose to temporarily suppress her discontent.

Meanwhile, she contacted the brand Sa on WeChat, asking if they could check the buyers of the malachite bracelet.

Logically, this was a very challenging request for Sa, but Nora’s status no longer aligned with just "a wealthy lady" or "a rich person"; she had entered true high society through VK.

Nora’s name already appeared among the top ranks of notable figures in Stanton City.

Sa dared not delay and immediately mobilized the list of malachite bracelet purchasers in the Vermilion Region.

The phone vibrated just as the car entered the underground parking garage.

She didn’t look, intuitively feeling it was a message from Sa.

About to open the car door, she saw a tall figure reflected in the window glass.

The two walked in, arm in arm, but Nora couldn’t help but suddenly say, "A few days ago, I ran into Peach Bell."

"Did she say anything to you?"

Jasper Sinclair’s expression and actions didn’t change because of the sudden sentence.

To him, it seemed like an irrelevant topic.

Nora said, "She somehow found out that you were injured and wanted to take the opportunity to visit you, but I declined."

"Hmm, unnecessary people can be ignored."

"I made the decision on my own; I thought you might be angry."

"Not at all, you’re in charge of this household."

Jasper Sinclair’s calmness made Nora wonder if she had wronged an innocent person.

Perhaps she was just being sensitive and suspicious?

Perhaps there was a misunderstanding?

After entering, she opened the message from Sa, which was in a document format.

A variety of names, densely packed, giving her a headache.

Nora clicked on the "search" icon directly and entered Jasper Sinclair’s name.

"No matching search results."

At that moment, she breathed a sigh of relief; after all, it was her overthinking.

Her fingertip slid over the upper right corner of the screen, intending to close the document, but suddenly caught sight of another familiar name.

May 19th, Louis Hayes!
