Jaxon, I hope you’re not going to regret your decision! You should have appreciated your role as the chief and stay out of my sight! Do you really think I can’t do anything to take you out because of your identity? How am I supposed to reach where I am today without my own connections and trump cards that are hidden up my sleeves?
Fabian had a smug look because he deemed Jaxon an imbecile fool who should have known his place.
Meanwhile, in the president’s office of Jackson Group, Xavier lit a cigarette and looked out the window with an aggrieved expression, puffing on the cigarette.
Xavier, whose mind was completely blank, muttered to himself, “When will I ever encounter another woman as exceptional as Hannah?”
A few seconds later, he shook his head and said, “I guess there’s no use trying to force her into submission, huh?”
Truth be told, Xavier was deeply in love with Hannah. After the series of initiatives he had taken to court her, he stopped interacting with other women and turned into a loyal man. Unfortunately, the only one Hannah had in mind was Fabian.
After Xavier put out the cigarette on the ashtray, he reached for his phone and called his assistant. “Investigate the reason behind Jaxon’s decision and send someone to protect Ms. Young.”
He paused before adding, “Hire a few top-notch hitmen to keep her safe and keep this a secret from Fabian if it’s possible.”
As Xavier was serious about Hannah, he was concerned about her wellbeing. To prevent getting in Fabian’s way, there was only so much he could do.
Afraid of offending Xavier, his assistant replied in a hushed voice, “Mr. Jackson, since Ms. Young has gotten married, don’t you think—”
“What? Are you trying to teach me the proper way to do things? Just get going and carry out my instructions!”
Xavier replied in a petulant manner and hung up the call after he made himself clear.
Sigh… I’m fully aware she’s married to another man, but…
He shook his head helplessly and started sulking again.
Meanwhile, Hannah, who had returned to work, had a lot of things on her plate because of the newly established team. She spent her lunchtime with her team discussing the details of their work.
Fabian had a lot of things to deal with on his end as well. As he had to go through all sorts of documents and agreements, he spent most of his time working.
Nonetheless, he had been keeping an eye on Hannah’s matter because nothing, including a million-dollar deal, could possibly take priority over Hannah.
Fabian burst into laughter after he received the intel regarding Yvette and Jaxon. “Ha! Have you decided to pick on me because of a woman? I’m speechless, Jaxon!”
Through the compiled report, he found out Yvette brought another celebrity to meet Jaxon on the night before she was taken into custody. He thought Jaxon had been seduced by the woman and he wasn’t aware Jaxon was actually blackmailed.
“Go get me the woman with the name of Shanice at once! I can’t wait to meet the woman that has seduced our beloved Mr. Dane in person!” he delivered his instruction through the phone.
Soon, Shanice, who was brought over, felt unease because she had heard all sorts of things about Fabian. On top of that, she was conscious of the reason Yvette was thrown behind bars.
She regretted being part of Yvette’s plan. Immediately after Jaxon called and reprimanded her, Fabian approached her and invited her over. If Fabian thought she had something to do with the accident, she might be doomed for real.
As Shanice made her way to Fabian’s office, she started brainstorming the way to defend herself.
When they reached the entrance of Fabian’s office, the receptionist said, “Mr. Norton has been anticipating your arrival. Please make your way in.”
“Alright, thanks.”
