Chapter 643 I think she is not far from being poisoned.
Adeline looked at Timothy, who was talking non-stop and staring at her, and couldn't help but laugh. "You sure know a lot."
Timothy rolled his eyes at her, "Of course. Our family is at least on par with the Phoebe family and the Torres family. How could there be any high-society gossip that I don't know about?"
After saying that, he pouted, "I can tell you're not interested in my gossip, so I won't bother telling you. It's time to get off work. Go home and relax. I'm expecting your suggestions tomorrow, so you don't be so distracted."
Adeline smirked, "Okay."
It was time to get off work. The employees in the office gradually packed up and left.
Adeline sat alone in the office, her mind still in turmoil.
As soon as she closed her eyes, she would see the note of "settlement" when Jasper transferred $500,000 to Thomas.
When she regained composure, she could hear Mia telling her that Thomas left on Jasper's private jet.
She felt like she was going crazy.
Then she picked up her phone and called Mia, "How about we grab a drink tonight?"
Mia was silent for a moment on the other end of the line, "Are you sure?"
Mia knew all too well how bad Adeline's drinking habits were.
But she added, "Of course."
Adeline gave a bitter smile, "I'm a bit upset."
As her friend, Mia couldn't refuse any longer.
"Alright, I'll call Violet."
An hour later, the three appeared in a bustling bar.
Adeline sat in a private room, drinking heavily from a bottle.
Violet, not knowing the situation and not daring to ask Adeline directly, quietly approached Mia and whispered, "What's going on?"
Mia sighed, "Molly told her something, and Adeline confirmed it was true. So she's upset again."
Violet paused, instantly understanding that it was about Jasper again.
Adeline was always like this.
Every time something about Jasper came up, she would get upset.
Violet sighed and sat next to Adeline, "If something's troubling you, don't keep it bottled up. If I were you, I would directly ask Jasper whether he knew or not, why he transferred money to Thomas, and why he let Thomas take his private jet. If it's a misunderstanding, then clear it up on the spot."
The already drunk Adeline stared blankly at Violet, "What if he says it's not a misunderstanding?"
Violet pursed her lips, "If it's not a misunderstanding, then no matter how affectionate Jasper is to you, he's still a heartless person. I support you breaking up with him on the spot!"
Mia frowned, "Adeline clearly doesn't want to break up with him, which is why she's so conflicted and upset."
Mia could really understand Adeline's current feelings.
She had liked Jasper for so many years, and now she finally felt that Jasper liked her back, finally felt that her years of effort had paid off.
Because of this incident, she found out that Jasper wasn't as perfect as she thought.
How could she bear to shatter her beautiful dream?
"It's better to get it over with quickly" Violet took a deep breath and directly picked up Adeline's phone, calling Jasper.
The phone rang for a while before it was answered, and Jasper said, "Adeline, didn't we agree not to call casually? Molly was just beside me."
"Molly was beside you, and you didn't even dare to answer Adeline's call?" Violet pouted and shouted, "Jasper, Adeline is upset and drinking in a bar because of you. You should know what she's like when she's drunk. You have one hour to get here. Mia and I have something to ask you. If you don't come within an hour, we'll take Adeline downstairs to flirt with handsome guys. That's it, goodbye!"
With that, Violet decisively hung up the phone.
On the other end, sitting in a restaurant, Jasper listened to the dial tone, his brows furrowing deeply.
Adeline was upset and drinking in a bar because of him?
Was it because he was close to Molly today?
Wasn't Adeline's plan to hide their relationship and feign closeness to Molly, making her believe everything was under control, just to obtain the antidote for Lily?
He had refused for a long time this morning, and Adeline had threatened to ignore him forever if he didn't agree, so he finally agreed.
How could it be that after just one day, he, the one acting, was fine, but she, the one watching, was so jealous and upset that she went drinking?
Coming out of the restroom, Molly sat down in front of him gently, "Jasper, whose call was it?"
Jasper collected his emotions and smiled lightly, "Something came up at the company, but I pushed it off."
Molly paused, then quickly smiled understandingly, "At this time, if the company is calling you, it must be urgent. Why push it off?"
Jasper lowered his eyes and dined, "I didn't want you to feel like I wasn't paying attention to our date."
His words made Molly instantly happy, and she said, "No need, even though we just confirmed our relationship today, we have plenty of opportunities to be together in the future. You don't have to delay work for me."
After saying that, Molly started to urge him to leave, "Go ahead, I'll go home by myself later."
Jasper pretended to hesitate for a while, then gave Molly a few good instructions before leaving.
After Jasper left, Molly watched his departing figure, and dialed a number.
"My dear sister, you didn't expect it, did you? I succeeded so quickly! Men often let their desires dictate their actions! I just went to Jasper's room this morning and lay down, making him think we did something last night, and his attitude towards me changed instantly. Not only did he proactively agree to be with me, but he also neglected Adeline and almost pushed off work for me!"
She excitedly continued, "Today, I saw Adeline sitting in the office looking lost after work. Didn't you say that the poison you gave me would also act up if her emotions fluctuated too much? I think she's not far from having a reaction. When Adeline does, I'll take out the world's only antidote and have Jasper give it to Lily in front of her. Adeline will die filled with hatred for Jasper!"
