She Quit Her Family and Found Herself novel Chapter 202

Because Justin Jameson had been out late entertaining clients the night before, it was already afternoon by the time he strolled into the office.

Upon hearing from his bespectacled assistant that a bidding Q&A session would be held at The Conrad Atherton Institute tomorrow, he excitedly went to find Herbert Jewell.

The door to Herbert's office was open, so Justin walked right in. "Herbert, I hear there's an official bidding Q&A at the institute tomorrow."

"Yes, that's right." Herbert looked up from the paperwork on his desk. Seeing Justin so unusually thrilled, he looked slightly taken aback. "What's going on?"

Justin realized he was showing a bit too much enthusiasm. Reeling his excitement in, he said seriously, "I missed the last press conference. Let me go with you to the Q&A this time."

According to his assistant, the institute had strictly limited attendance to a maximum of two representatives per company.

Justin figured that as the head of marketing for H&J Technologies, it made perfect sense for him to accompany Herbert.

Herbert nodded. "I don't mind on my end, but..." He looked conflicted as he glanced behind Justin.

Justin turned around, only then noticing Sylvie Sinclair standing by the office's coffee bar.

"Sylvie, when did you get here?"

Having just finished brewing two cups of coffee, Sylvie walked over gracefully and set them on Herbert's desk. "I've been here the whole time. You were just too excited when you walked in to notice me, Mr. Jameson."

Justin coughed awkwardly, glancing from Sylvie to Herbert. "So, you're planning on taking Sylvie with you tomorrow?"

Before Herbert could answer, Sylvie handed the other cup of coffee to Justin with a sweet smile.

Herbert noticed the disapproval in Justin's eyes and pressed his lips together. "Yeah. The time was right, so we did it."

He couldn't possibly reveal the real reason he'd married Sylvie. Even to Justin, he couldn't bring himself to say it.

If Hulda trapping him into a physical relationship years ago had been the first stain on his life...

Then the animalistic way he had forced himself on Sylvie while drunk was the second. And with this stain, he was completely guilty. He had no moral high ground to criticize Sylvie from because he was the one who deserved the condemnation.

Therefore, he would never tell Justin the truth about what happened.

Of course, he hadn't planned on getting their marriage license this quickly; it had been forced by the demands of both their families.
