Chapter 139: Chapter 139: VK Made the News
After Annie finished speaking, she called her father, while Nora told the staff to save the surveillance footage.
When Jasper came to pick her up after work that evening, his brows furrowed instantly at the mess on the ground.
"What happened?" he asked in a deep voice, but the people around didn’t know how to explain this absurd situation.
Nora was in the office upstairs at this time, and Lily took the opportunity to recount what happened in the afternoon. The more she spoke, the darker his expression became.
"I see." Before going upstairs, he made a phone call to Louis Hayes, and had someone send the afternoon’s surveillance footage to him, asking him to identify those individuals.
Minors? He let out a cold snort, since when did being a minor become an excuse for crime?
With Jasper Sinclair’s help, Lily Sloan felt much more at ease.
Inside the office upstairs.
Nora stood with her arms crossed in front of the window. The events of the day left her struggling to accept what had happened.
Could it be that her studio would end like this?
She squinted her eyes and shook her head sharply. No way, how could a little setback defeat her?
She was so engrossed in the matter that she didn’t even notice when Jasper came in, only realizing when she was enveloped in his embrace.
"Are you still thinking about it? Don’t worry, I’m here," he said gently, like comforting a child.
Nora suddenly sighed and spoke with a bitter smile, "I thought I could grow the brand without relying on anyone, but..."
After she finished speaking, Jasper lifted her small hand and kissed it briefly.
"Indeed, you haven’t relied on me to make it this far. After all, your products are excellent, and it is your own brand that has brought you step by step to where you are today, not me, Jasper Sinclair, isn’t that right?"
This one sentence made Nora see things clearly.
Indeed, it had always been her own obsession.
The corners of her lips lifted, and after a long struggle, she let out a sigh.
"Got it, then I’ll need your help with this matter, husband." She turned her head and pouted playfully.
But she didn’t know that just that one word "husband" almost made Jasper unable to resist.
Pinching her little nose, Jasper felt helpless yet tender.
"Say it again," he murmured hoarsely in her ear, that one call made his heart melt.
Forget about investigating this matter, he would even give her The Sinclair Group.
Nora stuck out her tongue playfully, "Let’s see if you can solve this issue first."
And with that, she turned to pack her things, getting ready to leave work.
On the way downstairs, despite being mentally prepared, seeing the remnants of the balm on the ground, smelling the mixed choking scent, it was still painful.
Each product here was like her child, and now she had to watch them being thrown into the trash bin, her heart ached as if it were bleeding.
"Let’s go." Wrapping his arm around her waist, Jasper led her away.
Once the news broke, VK quickly made headlines. Due to the severe damage, Nora had no choice but to temporarily close for a few days.
However, at this critical moment, someone unexpectedly sent her an invitation. It was just an ordinary small banquet, and out of concern, Jasper wanted to decline on her behalf, worried she might hear unpleasant remarks.
"It’s okay. Since it happened, I need to confront it. Who knows, I might meet a nice perfumer there," she said optimistically. Looking at her small face lifted towards him, it was as if nothing had happened.
Seeing her like this, Jasper naturally had nothing more to say.
