Chapter 504
“Alright, I’ll go now.”
Seeing her growing anger, the assistant quickly took the opportunity to leave.
The phone rang.
Christine glanced at the caller ID and said calmly, “Hello, Mr. Renolds, what’s the matter?”
Recently, Yasmin had not taken any further action, so she probably had set aside her suspicions.
Meanwhile, Christine’s resources kept coming, and she had done several magazine shoots, with people constantly flattering her every day. Without realizing it, her attitude had become somewhat complacent, and even Jack was not taken seriously by her.
Jack, holding a photo handed to him by his subordinate, said in a cold voice, “Has anyone entered your room recently?”
“No,” Christine responded truthfully. “I have surveillance installed, and my phone hasn’t received any abnormal alerts.”
“Are you sure?”
“Absolutely sure!” Christine was somewhat helpless. “Mr. Renolds, don’t be so paranoid. If something had really happened, could I still be here recording the show?”
It had been so many days without any issues, and she thought Yasmin had already set aside her doubts.

He was holding a photo of Yasmin getting in and out of the underground car park at Region Gardens.

“Shouldn’t I be suspicious?” Jack’s tone was cold. “You’d better return to Jeswood for the celebration banquet tomorrow and find out exactly what Yasmin went to Region Gardens for.”
“You’re being too alarmist… I just spoke with her this morning, and there was nothing unusual. I don’t want to return to Jeswood for now.”
Christine had been surrounded by flattery lately. If Yasmin had already discovered the truth, she wouldn’t allow her to continue using her resources. It was more important to get more screen time on the variety show than to confirm Jack’s unfounded suspicions.
Jack’s expression turned grim, his gaze darkened, and he smiled, “Alright then.”
“I’ll say one last thing,” Jack pulled out a yellowed photo from his notebook, gently caressing it, and warned in a cold tone, “From today on, don’t contact me again. You’ve never known me, understand?”
“Otherwise, you know what the consequences will be.”
