How a Dying Woman Rewrote Her Epilogue novel Chapter 520

Only then did Jarrod turn around and look at the man. “Yes? What is it?”

Sylvie frowned and glanced over as well.

What happened? Did something go wrong? With her?

The executive’s expression was conflicted, as if he’d tried and failed several times to get the words out. At last, he looked straight at Sylvie and spoke. “President Fielding, a while back… did you reallocate a portion of your bonus?”

The words seemed to echo in the room.

Sylvie’s face shifted instantly.

Jarrod looked down at her, his tone calm and measured. “Alright. Let’s discuss this later.”
