She's Too Busy Winning to Watch Him Cry novel Chapter 416

"Miss Fairchild, I've worked under Mr. Jameson for many years. Him indulging you doesn't necessarily mean he trusts you. In his eyes, a passionate release in bed is probably just infinitely more productive than arguing with you."

Lyra's mind was in utter chaos. She lowered her head slightly, her long hair slipping silently down her cheeks. "Are you saying he's only doing all this just to sleep with me..."

"No, Miss Fairchild. I'm simply saying that right now, Mr. Jameson might still harbor some guilt for taking you and inadvertently causing your severe car accident. But please, you absolutely cannot keep going down this path..."

"Mr. Jameson might not have heard your conversation with Zane, but I heard every word loud and clear. If he had heard it, he would never have let you..."

Before Andrea could finish her sentence, a pale-faced Lyra began shoving her toward the door.

"Get out... if you aren't going to help me, then don't say another word."

Unable to offer any real comfort, Andrea finally left. Lyra sank to the floor, hugging her knees, her eyes rimmed with red. Her face remained a ghastly shade of pale.

Pausing, Andrea looked back and returned to add, "Miss Fairchild, things will eventually work themselves out. Being with Mr. Jameson honestly isn't a bad fate."

"It's terrible. It couldn't possibly be worse," Lyra whispered.

She had already tried it once in her past life.

As if recalling a dark memory, the look in Lyra's eyes gradually returned to a biting cold. "You really are his loyal dog. Whatever. Even if I die, it's none of your business! Just leave."

...

Meanwhile, Rowan hadn't even arrived at the office by ten o'clock, causing his scheduled meetings to be indefinitely delayed.

When Rowan finally arrived, he went straight into his meetings. Returning to his office afterward, he issued an order: "Pull the financials, assets, and liabilities for Jasmine's company and bring them to me."

An assistant brought the documents over shortly after. Rowan scanned them briefly before declaring, "Bankrupt Jasmine's company within two weeks."

Both Wesley and the other assistant froze in their tracks.

Rowan looked up. "Is there a problem?"
