The Celibate Tycoon Has Fallen-Chapter 85: Who Is It That You Can’t Let Go Of?

Chapter 85: Chapter 85: Who Is It That You Can’t Let Go Of?

She stood up perfectly fine, just standing there.

Jasper Yale lowered his gaze and noticed that Nancy Alden’s legs were actually trembling.

He reached out and pulled her into his arms. Nancy Alden leaned against him, one arm placed behind Jasper Yale, gripping his clothes tightly.

The people below began to talk, "Isn’t Miss Alden perfectly fine?"

"What’s disabled about her?"

"What was the purpose of the person who wrote this article?"

Dean Holloway was so anxious that cold sweat was pouring down. Nancy Alden’s eyes were fixed on Yelena Hughes with a smugness that only Yelena could perceive.

Jasper Yale, fearing she might not be able to stand, had her sit back down.

"What’s the point of proving anything to them about this kind of matter?"

Compared to the man’s cold face, Nancy Alden was simply the epitome of gentleness and kindness. She said, "Oh, it’s just standing for a bit. The reporters need to have some material to report back with. Besides, my legs are fine, what do I have to be afraid of?"

The person sitting next to Yelena Hughes looked up at her, "Miss Alden is such a good person, and you write this nonsense. Has your conscience been eaten by a dog?"

Yes, Nancy Alden is the cutest little star in the world, and that would make Yelena Hughes the most venomous snake.

Jasper Yale picked up the microphone on the table, "Hailey Jenkins, take the reporters to the lounge to have something to eat, we have a bit of a situation here to deal with."

"Yes."

Nancy Alden watched the crowd rise. She suppressed her displeasure, thinking Yelena Hughes had committed a major taboo in the industry, deserving the public’s condemnation.

But Jasper Yale drove everyone out, obviously wanting to settle this privately.

Dean Holloway swallowed hard and stood up too, "Sister, what should we do?"

"You go out first."

"No way!" If they came together, they’d face it together.

Everyone was cleared out, leaving just a few people in the large hall.

Jasper Yale placed his hands on the long table. The red cloth covering the table reflected a peach blossom color onto his face. His arms were held straight, his gaze cold, eyes fixed steadily in Yelena Hughes’ direction.

Josephine also came over at this moment. She watched Nancy Alden grow up and undoubtedly felt sorry for her.

So whatever she said was understandable.

"Miss Hughes, you can’t do this as a person, it’s already hard enough for her to take a few steps forward, aren’t you pushing her to the brink?"

Yelena Hughes walked forward, looking unperturbed, as if fearing nothing even as the sky fell.

"Little Master, Miss Alden, this matter has nothing to do with me..."

"Your name is on the article," Josephine didn’t expect her to still quibble even now, "Do you resent my young lady? But she’s already given you the medicine, you really shouldn’t..."

Yelena Hughes had already guessed what was going on. Not many knew about Nancy Alden’s inability to stand up.

Regarding the article, besides her, Nancy Alden, and Jasper Yale, who else knew?

She just slightly curved her lips, "There’s no loss for Miss Alden, is there? You stood up, meaning I’m just spouting nonsense, that I lack professional ethics..."

Nancy Alden’s lips moved, "Are you blaming me?"

"I’m just simply analyzing, in this matter, whoever stands to gain the most might be the one who orchestrated it."

Isn’t it clear enough?

Dean Holloway listened and thought it made sense too. The biggest beneficiary is Nancy Alden, isn’t it?

"What’s in it for Yelena to do this?" He moved forward, wanting to reason for her, "Just to be accused of being scheming, to be accused of lacking morals?"

Nancy Alden sat there, as the victim, feeling pitiful, her shoulders slightly slumped, engulfed in sadness.

Josephine looked on with teary eyes, "Miss... If only Mr. Alden and the others were here, you wouldn’t have to suffer this grievance."

Nancy Alden tugged at Jasper Yale’s sleeve, "Forget it, don’t pursue this, Jasper, let’s just go home."

She didn’t want to stay here anymore.

But Yelena Hughes couldn’t just let this go.

"Miss Alden, isn’t there a possibility that I’m being framed?"

Jasper Yale looked at her, utterly unafraid, her tone firm, her expression equally firm.

"Apologize." His voice carried no emotion.

Yelena Hughes’ face briefly collapsed, "Little Master, this matter hasn’t been investigated thoroughly."

Is it that as long as it involves Nancy Alden, he can so easily sentence someone to death without giving them a chance to defend themselves?

"No need to investigate," he remained ruthless, "Apologize to her and you can leave."

Nancy Alden’s small hand clenched tightly, after today’s humiliation, could it really just be an apology from Yelena Hughes?

But even so, Yelena Hughes wouldn’t accept that.

"I won’t."

"What did you say?" Jasper Yale wasn’t truly unclear; he was surprised by her refusal.

"I said, I won’t."

Nancy Alden held back her tears as she spoke with all her grievances on her face, "Jasper, this matter definitely can’t just be let go, regardless of who did it, they should pay the price."

Dean Holloway tugged at Yelena Hughes’ sleeve.

Why not just leave it at that?

In these matters, you can only swallow the bitter pill; if you keep pursuing it, you might lose your job.

Jasper Yale’s gaze fell on Nancy Alden, his voice cold and detached, "The press conference still needs to continue. This is just a small interlude, why make it into a big deal?"

"Is this a small matter?" Nancy Alden’s eyes turned red as she spoke, wiping at her eyes, "Who are you reluctant to give up on?"

Jasper Yale slightly narrowed his phoenix eyes, a hint of cold anger between his brows, "Fine, investigate."

Yelena Hughes saw the moment was right, and instructed Dean Holloway, "My laptop is in the car, would you bring it here?"

"Alright."

The original draft was on the laptop, and Nancy Alden scrutinized Yelena Hughes’ expression, finding her unafraid even when facing such a predicament.

Is it because she thought the affair between her and Jasper Yale developed into feelings?

Soon, Dean Holloway returned, slightly out of breath, handing the laptop to Yelena Hughes. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

She powered it on, opened the work page, and opened a folder.

Inside was the article, Yelena Hughes clicked it open and saw that the original text indeed contained that passage.

Nancy Alden couldn’t hide the smile at the corners of her mouth anymore.

"Miss Hughes, how will you explain now?"

Josephine chimed in, "This at least proves that you wrote the article and also published it."

Yelena Hughes said nothing, retreating slightly, continuing to operate the laptop.

"Jasper..." Nancy Alden was about to speak, but saw Yelena Hughes push the laptop in front of her.

"I installed a tracking feature on it that can take pictures and record videos, so it’s clear who’s tampered with my laptop."

Nancy Alden’s smile froze slightly.

Quickly, a face appeared on the screen. The woman glanced around to see no one else was present before hurriedly opening Yelena Hughes’ laptop.

Dean Holloway, excited, pointed at the face, "Isn’t that our department colleague?"

And this woman had the habit of typing and muttering to herself, "A car accident that left Nancy Alden..."

Yelena Hughes squarely faced Jasper Yale, "Little Master, you should thoroughly investigate this person. By any means necessary, make her tell the truth."

Nancy Alden bit her lips slightly, cold sweat breaking out down her back.

Yelena Hughes’ gaze was indifferent, "Miss Alden, do you remember the last photo leak incident?"

That time, Yelena Hughes had indeed taken a slap from her.

"I’ve been framed once, so now I’m like a startled bird. I don’t know who’s so foolish as to think they can use the same trick twice."
