Chapter 367 Did You Misunderstand Mr. Foster?
Jasper's words made Thomas's face turn pale.
He coughed lightly and lowered his head to drink coffee. "You remembered wrong."
"I remembered wrong?" Jasper sneered, coldly looking at Thomas's face. "Really?"
After speaking, he turned his head indifferently to look at Adeline. "He said I remembered wrong."
She squinted her eyes, her hands twisting together fiercely under the table.
What was going on between them One sought retribution while the other evaded the subject.
Were they putting on a show in front of her?
Jasper really went to great lengths to fool her!
She sneered and stood up directly. "Why are you acting in front of me?"
She glanced at Jasper, then at Thomas, coldly saying., "I don't like watching people pretend in front of me."
"So, enjoy this show by yourselves!" After saying that, she apologized to Mia and turned to leave.
"Adeline!" Mia frowned, seeing her leave angrily, and quickly got up to chase after her.
After they left, only Jasper and Thomas were left at the dining table.
Leaning back in his chair, Jasper's body reclined as he coldly stared at Thomas. "It seems Mr. Turner is a better actor."
He didn't think Adeline trusted Thomas more.
She just trusted him less.
Thomas sneered at Jasper's face. He said, "Mr. Foster, I really don't understand. Is Adeline really that important to you?"
"If you really liked her, why did you hire someone to kill her back then?"
"Six years ago, you hired an assassin to kill her, yet now you act like you love her"
"Aren't you disgusted with yourself?"
Thomas's words made Jasper's eyes narrow fiercely.
The surrounding air suddenly turned cold.
He stared coldly at Thomas. "You can't talk nonsense."
When did he ever do that?
On the day she had the accident, he was in Neon City for a marathon meeting that lasted from morning till afternoon without a break.
That time, he was on a long business trip.
That morning, Molly returned to Radiance Springs, and he specifically asked her to bring back a gift he had prepared for her.
They had been married for so long. He didn't like her at first, but later he had fallen deeply in love with Adeline.
He thought, after the meeting, he would go home and tell her that she had become an indispensable part of his life.
However, the events that transpired afterward rendered him forever incapable of confessing to her.
"Wasn't it you?" Thomas laughed. "The person who hired me back then clearly said it was Mr. Foster who wanted to kill Adeline."
"He also said that she wasn't your most beloved, but she was your wife for a while, and you were long annoyed with her."
By the time he finished speaking, The atmosphere instantly grew tense. Jasper squinted at Thomas. "So, the person who harmed Adeline back then was really you?"
After her car accident, he and the police investigated for a long time.
In the end, they only found out that the truck was a stolen vehicle.
And at that time, due to the damaged road surveillance, the driver could not be identified at all.
Thomas smiled and admitted openly. "Of course it was me."
After saying that, he relaxedly placed his arms behind his head, looking lazily at Jasper's furrowed brows. "Why are you pretending to be so surprised, Mr. Foster?"
"Back when you helped me escape, the transfer was made from your company's account."
"If it wasn't you, no one else could've taken out fifty thousand dollars from the company's account for an unrelated person like me."
"I know you want to please Adeline now and pretend you had nothing to do with what happened back then."
"Were it in the past, a casual sum of one or two hundred thousand from you would've been enough for me to participate in the act and keep your secrets."
As he spoke, he raised his eyebrows and glanced at Mia, who was outside the window talking to Adeline. "But now, I have her."
"Once I marry her, I will also become one of the wealthy in Radiance Springs."
"If you still want me to play along." He pinched his fingers together. "You need to pay more."
Jasper's eyes narrowed tightly.
Six years ago, it was five hundred thousand to the corporate account.
At that time, Molly was heartbroken and said Adeline was missing, wanting to use all her salary to find her.
Even though Jasper said he would search with all his might and she didn't need to spend her money, Molly still insisted.
He was moved by her feelings for Adeline and even had the finance department give her more.
Originally it was three hundred thousand, but in the end, he gave her five hundred thousand.
Jasper squinted and coldly glanced at Thomas. "The person who contacted you and said I wanted to kill my wife was a woman, right?"
Thomas nodded. "You finally remembered."
Jasper took a deep breath, stood up, and looked down at Thomas. "Aren't you afraid I'll call the police and have you arrested for telling me all this?"
After all, he caused that car accident back then, forcing Adeline to change her appearance.
If held accountable, Thomas wouldn't have a good outcome either.
Thomas laughed out loud. "The police would arrest me, but wouldn't they arrest you, too?"
He laughed arrogantly. "Jasper, don't forget; we're the same."
Thomas's arrogant demeanor made Jasper unable to help but smile.
He leaned down, his voice cold with an irresistible pressure. "Then just wait and see."
After saying that, Jasper turned and left.
He needed to go back to the company and find the accounts from six years ago to verify some things.
"Adeline." Outside Royal Elegance Dining, Mia held Adeline's hand. "I think there must be some misunderstanding between you and Jasper."
Adeline looked at Jasper, who had just finished talking with Thomas and left angrily. She said coldly, "What misunderstanding could we have?"
In front of her, Jasper claimed not to know Thomas.
But as soon as she and Mia left, he started getting angry at Thomas.
She could even guess what he was angry about.
It was nothing more than Thomas not playing his part well, letting her see through the act, right?
Jasper was really hypocritical!
"But." Mia sighed, squeezing her hand tightly and trying to calm her down. "Thomas told me he wasn't familiar with Mr. Foster at all."
"Even if he'd lie to me about other things, he wouldn't need to lie about this."
"I've been with him for so long and never found any connection between the two."
"Have you perhaps misunderstood Mr. Foster?"
