Chapter 676: Leaving Evidence
Chapter 676: Leaving Evidence
Nora Northwood herself, however, always lacked self-confidence.
Rachel Woodward wasn’t upset about being rejected. At the moment, she needed a favor, so her usual arrogance had dissipated quite a bit.
She changed her approach: "I admit, you indeed have an extraordinary talent in fragrance creation. The Woodward Family and VK originated from Stanton City. If you win in The Global Assembly, wouldn’t it also bring honor to Stanton City?"
Transforming personal interests into city pride, Rachel Woodward, although lacking in professional knowledge, had a clear mind. Truly a socialite cultivated by the Woodward Family.
At that time, Nora Northwood had only one thought.
No matter how convincingly Rachel Woodward spoke, Nora Northwood would not agree to cooperate on this matter.
With numerous contenders, everyone wanted to represent Celestia. The more critical the moment, the less room there was for mistakes.
Nora Northwood continued to refuse: "Since it’s about bringing pride to the city, we should be open and aboveboard. If Miss Woodward is willing to focus her efforts on fragrance creation, she might achieve even better results."
...
Leaving The Kingsford Hotel, the sun had already set.
In the car.
Jasper Sinclair took out his phone, swiped the screen a few times, pulled up a certain interface, and placed it in front of Nora Northwood.
Nora Northwood was puzzled and asked him what the recording was about.
"Tap it and listen."
Jasper Sinclair turned slightly, with one hand on the steering wheel. From Nora Northwood’s angle, he was bathed in the moonlight behind, exuding a cool and noble aura.
"Why so secretive and mysterious?"
Curious, Nora Northwood reached out, her pinky finger touching the tilted triangle mark. After a few seconds of white noise, voices emerged—it was her conversation with Rachel Woodward.
Her pupils dilated in surprise, not expecting Jasper Sinclair had recorded this conversation.
Back then, she thought he was just avoiding unwanted social interactions by fiddling with his phone, not wanting to entertain Rachel.
She asked, "Why did you record this?"
"Can’t think too simply of the Woodward Family. Rachel might twist this around and bite you back or spread some nonsense outside. Back it up on the cloud, and it can save you some trouble if needed."
"Boss Sinclair is quite foresighted!"
"So tell me, how are you going to thank me for this?"
Upon hearing this, Nora Northwood did lower her eyes to think. The light was dim in the car, a faint haze seemed to linger in her eyes.
After a while, she thought of a good idea, "I’ll treat you to drunken crabs. There’s a place nearby; I’ll help you set up the navigation."
While punching in the destination on the car’s screen, she muttered, "Finnian and Lily should be around too, should we invite them along?"
She was seeking Jasper Sinclair’s opinion.
He skipped the thinking part entirely and answered her directly: "Don’t disturb the newly together couple; they want to have a date."
Nora Northwood simply sneered, "It’s you who doesn’t want to be disturbed, right!"
"Whatever my wife says is right."
Jasper Sinclair joked and leaned over to help her pull out and snap her seatbelt.
Unintentionally, his thin lips brushed against Nora Northwood’s cheek, stealing a whiff of fragrance.
"If you want a kiss, just do it, stop with the sneaky moves." She showed no expression, but inwardly she was quite pleased.
Someday, Jasper Sinclair finally understood the subtle romance hidden within everyday life.
Such as the pair of earrings he gave her in a Riverian Town.
Before, he would have coolly and arrogantly taken out a bank card, handed it to her, and added: My secondary bank card, buy what you like.
Generous, indeed, but with no hint of surprise.
