The Celibate Tycoon Has Fallen-Chapter 132: For Now, We Don’t Want Children

Chapter 132: Chapter 132: For Now, We Don’t Want Children

The doctor turned green with anger upon hearing that.

"How can you talk like that, young man? I’m over sixty!"

The bystanders, nosy as ever, chimed in, "She’s so young and taking this kind of medicine is harmful to her body, he’s just giving her a kind reminder."

Yelena Hughes didn’t want to make a fuss, especially since this pharmacy was too close to home. She didn’t want any commotion that might catch the attention of neighbors or acquaintances.

The woman in the white coat picked up the box of medicine and scanned it, "Are you two a couple?"

Yelena Hughes opened the payment code on her phone, intending to hand it over, only to have Jasper Yale grasp her wrist.

"Does whether we’re a couple have anything to do with what medicine we buy?"

"No relation," the woman replied, "but legitimate couples usually use protection. That’s what I’ve learned in my years on the job. Nineteen eighty.

"Forget it," Jasper Yale pulled Yelena Hughes wanting to leave.

"Hey——" The woman leaned over the counter, "The code’s already scanned."

"Keep it for yourself."

Seeing Yelena Hughes still standing, Jasper Yale pulled her over with one hand, placing his other arm around her shoulders, "We are a couple, just not planning to have kids at the moment."

Dragged outside by him, Yelena Hughes felt a surge of strange emotions, "Why did you say that?"

"Which part?"

How did they become a couple?

Yelena Hughes glared at him somewhat annoyed, "I didn’t even get my medicine."

"Don’t take this kind, I’ll have Hailey Jenkins deliver some tomorrow, it won’t harm your body."

She blurted out, "You’re so considerate, does every woman of yours receive this treatment?"

After sleeping with you, even delivering medicine to the door?

Jasper Yale looked at her with a meaningful gaze, a light smile in his eyes, "You’re the first, isn’t it special?"

"Well, I really must thank you then!"

Yelena Hughes emphasized her words, one by one.

The night was dense, and a handsome man and beautiful woman stood at the pharmacy entrance, a scene seemingly out of place.

"She did say something correct just now, taking this stuff frequently is indeed bad for your health."

"Who’s taking it frequently, it’s just occasionally, isn’t it?"

Jasper Yale’s lips curled, "It’ll soon be twice in three days."

Yelena Hughes looked up at him, he was smiling, but her composure was cracking, "I’m heading home."

She left hastily, and Hailey Jenkins pushed open the car door seeing this.

"Young Master, are we headed back?"

Jasper Yale glanced at the pharmacy behind him, "Make a report, there’s a doctor there named Melanie Sawyer, first check if she has her practice credentials."

Sitting inside the car, Hailey Jenkins was a bit puzzled, typically the Young Master wouldn’t meddle in such small matters.

"Is it because of Miss Hughes?"

Jasper Yale felt a twinge inside, hearing people talk about her like that made him quite uncomfortable.

"Those medications on the shelves, it’s competitive business, but the industry’s unspoken rule is whoever gives the higher kickback sells more."

Jasper Yale rotated the ring on his finger, "It’s unfair to manufacturers with lower profits."

Hailey Jenkins nodded solemnly, no wonder he’s the Young Master, so noble!

Jasper Yale returned to The Summit Gardens, seeing Josephine carrying a bowl of freshly cooked dumplings upstairs.

"Young Master, you’re finally back."

Jasper Yale paused lightly in front of the stairs, "She hasn’t eaten?"

"No."

"Give them to me."

He pushed open Nancy Alden’s room door, she wasn’t asleep yet, focused at her desk reading documents.

Hearing him enter, Nancy Alden glanced back, "You’re back."

"Josephine made dumplings for you."

Nancy Alden set down her folder, pulling Jasper Yale to sit on the chair next to her. "Is Yelena Hughes okay?"

"She’s fine, she’s already gone home."

Of course, she knew!

But Nancy Alden couldn’t show it, she endured with difficulty, "Jasper, you were out for quite a while."

"Yeah, it was a bit tricky."

Tricky?

He was clearly out frolicking with Yelena Hughes, she had seen their kissing photo, a large bed in the background, who knows if they went further?

Nancy Alden looked at the steaming bowl of dumplings, "Jasper, you don’t also think Yelena Hughes’s sister’s situation is related to me, do you?"

"Don’t overthink it, Hailey Jenkins already targeted a few people, we’ll find them soon."

"Really?" Nancy Alden’s expression stiffened, her smile a bit forced, "That’s great, finally can clear my name."

"They’re just doing things for money, they follow whoever pays more."

Hearing this, Nancy Alden felt some unease in her heart.

Jasper observed her expression, "I discussed with that person using Yelena Hughes’s phone, offering him two million, I just need to know who instructed him to do this, won’t trouble him then."

Nancy Alden’s hand holding the spoon trembled slightly, she blew on the soup in her bowl, "Will they agree?"

"They’ve agreed already." Jasper suddenly leaned in, supporting his hand on Nancy Alden’s leg.

"Why aren’t you eating? It’ll get cold."

"It’s still... too hot." 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

Jasper handed her a tissue, "For them, two million isn’t small money, I doubt that mastermind can offer that."

Nancy Alden stuffed a dumpling into her mouth, biting into it, the hot juice splashed into her mouth, forcing her to swallow it whole.

Hailey Jenkins knocked on the door from outside, "Young Master."

Jasper patted Nancy Alden’s head as he got up, "Eat slowly."

He walked out quickly, Nancy Alden hurriedly set down the bowl, maneuvering her wheelchair to the door.

She carefully opened a crack, seeing them head towards the study.

"Young Master, tomorrow night at six, Sakura Japanese Restaurant on Roman Irwin Road, I’ll bring the cash there."

Nancy Alden’s heart raced uncontrollably, she clutched her chest, fearing Jasper would notice, she hurried back to her desk.

They even set a meeting spot, those people are just street thugs with no professional ethics, now with more money offered by Jasper, they’ve switched sides.

The next day.

As Josephine left the house, she subconsciously hugged her bag tightly in front of her.

Transferring between several buses, she finally entered a restaurant.

Near the window sat an older man, she walked over and sat in front of him. "Mr. Bell."

Mr. Bell was once the Alden Family’s butler, after Nancy Alden’s parents’ incident, he simply retired.

The waiter came over, placing the menu by the table’s edge, handing it to them with the other hand.

"Order later." Josephine wasn’t in the mood for food.

"Alright."

Once the waiter walked away, Josephine quietly questioned, "Who did you hire, agreeing to deal with the Young Master? What now?"

Mr. Bell wore a troubled expression, "Since last night, I’ve been unable to contact him, I’m figuring something out."

"He won’t rat us out, will he?"

"I’ve never met him, and we used a bought phone number, shouldn’t be..."

But Josephine was not reassured, she opened her purse and took out a jewelry box.

"Two million isn’t a small amount, moreover can’t go through company accounts, the Young Master would doubt it." Josephine pushed the box over, "These are the Miss’s jewels, pawn them, over two million easily. Quickly now! You must get this done before the Young Master meets them, have them take the money and disappear!"

"But... the Young Master may not trace back to us."

Josephine couldn’t be optimistic, "Just in case."

After they talked for a while, someone walked swiftly to Josephine’s side, placing a hand on her shoulder.

"Josephine."

She jumped in fright, turning to see it was Hailey Jenkins.

"The Young Master asked me to bring you back."
