Exclusive Memory novel Chapter 3

'Someone was taking photos of me when I was taking photos of Flora?!'

"It's... Heh, is it really that surprising to take pictures of your idol? You can't assume that I've done something bad to Flora just because I shot some beautiful photos of her!" 'This girl is really thick-skinned! Even with solid evidence, she still has the audacity to deny it!'

Jasper went back to his chair and sat down with his legs crossed. A smile flickered on his lips as he rubbed the edge of his jaw. "Is that a confession? You just said earlier that you've never even met her."

It took a long time for Ashley to react to these words. Jasper just asked her if she had seen Flora in person, but she denied it. 'Oh shit! How could I have been so careless! It's fine. I can get through this. It's a good thing I have a hidden backup of the photos. I just need to play it cool.'

Since things had come to this point, Ashley tried a different approach.

With a natural smile on her cheeks, she smoothed down her wrinkled clothes. She raised her chin slightly, and calmly looked at the man in front of her with her big and beautiful eyes.

"Mr. Jasper, you don't have to be so harsh. After all, I have been in this business for years, so I've already gotten used to threats."

At that moment, Jasper felt that something was wrong -- Ashley's attitude completely changed in a matter of seconds.

"The things people try to hide at night often appear by day through vigilant reporters such as myself. Since Flora was so careless to do what she has done, she should be prepared to face the consequences."

"Well, then have you ever thought about the consequences of provoking me like this?" Jasper asked as he furrowed his brows.

Ashley frowned, not sure what he was trying to imply. There was an uneasy feeling growing inside her, but she could not let herself be at a disadvantaged position. Otherwise, she would be completely at the mercy of this man.

"Although I haven't met you before, I know that you are a candid person. You won't do anything that will draw any unwanted attention," Ashley stated confidently.

Jasper laughed sarcastically. "You're smart, but I don't care much about reputation. It's useless to flatter me. If you don't hand over what I want, I will soon find out yourself that I'm not as candid as you think I am."

"Everybody in the entertainment industry says you are wise and decisive. You are nothing more than a shameful man who threatens women! I will never give you the photos I took. Since you are so powerful, why not take remedial action until I publish the photos? Your exceptional competence would be fully demonstrated in such way, wouldn't it?"

Jasper shook his head, his fists clenching in rage. He raised his hand and beckoned his underlings out. Then he picked up his cellphone and walked slowly towards Ashley.

Instinctively, Ashley took a step back, feeling that he was about to do something to her. "What... What are you doing?"
