CHAPTER 563: CHAPTER 271 I WAS INDEED WITH HER

Hearing the discussion inside, Jane Quinlan’s heart panicked.

Assistant Larkin... Evie Larkin?

And the young master she could think of, it could only be Kay Forrest.

The voices inside continued.

"Why can’t we get through to her, do you know why Manager Qu from the Assistant Office is so fierce to others but so nice to Evie Larkin?

Because Evie Larkin is the child raised with financial support from old Mr. Forrest.

Evie Larkin isn’t ugly, and she can be considered a good match for old Mr. Forrest’s son too.

They were together once, there’s no doubt about that."

"Then why did they break up?"

"Our young master, he is quite a romantic type..."

She staggered a bit, and Nolan Moore supported her.

She turned to look at him, her eyes full of questions.

Nolan Moore let go of her shoulders.

"Haven’t had your meal? Can’t even stand properly."

Having said that, he pushed open the door of the office and walked in.

As he entered, the entire office suddenly quieted down.

Nolan Moore walked to the center of the office and reprimanded: "Mind less of others’ personal affairs and chatter less.

It’s not so easy to enter Skyward Group.

If you get kicked out because of gossiping about others’ scandals, it would be more loss than gain."

He did not specify whom he was targeting.

But everyone knew, he wasn’t just trying to scare them.

After speaking, he walked towards his own office.

Jane Quinlan was silent for a while, and finally with difficulty, she walked through the office to her desk.

She sat at the desk, her eyes a bit dazed.

The emotion from this morning was still echoing before her eyes, but in just a few hours, a thunderbolt had struck.

She didn’t know if all of this was true; she only knew that her heart felt terribly agonized.

So stifled she almost suffocated.

She stood up and pushed open the door of Nolan Moore’s office and walked in.

Coming to the desk, she looked down at Nolan sitting there.

"Nolan, aren’t you familiar with them? Do you know about this thing everyone’s discussing?"

Nolan Moore didn’t even lift his head from the files in his hand.

"You’re asking the wrong person, you should ask your boyfriend."

"I just want to know if this matter is true."

Nolan Moore paused and then looked up at her: "What difference does it make if it’s true or not?"

Jane Quinlan was confused for a moment, right, what could she do if it was true?

"It’s working hours now, erase all that mess in your brain.

Summarize these documents for me.

Don’t be half-hearted, this is very important material."

Jane genuinely felt very miserable inside, but she didn’t know what to do.

She picked up the materials and turned to walk away.

Nolan Moore watched her bleak retreating figure and shook his head.

If she can’t get over such a small matter, she’ll have a tough time in the future.

Kay Forrest finished his meeting and came out, with Wendy accompanying him into the office.

"This afternoon’s meeting at 3 PM has been moved to 1:30 PM.

After the meeting, I’ll personally visit the old chairman of Pearl Group."

"Yes, Director Forrest."

Kay Forrest looked at her: "Why have you been giving me such a dubious stare all day?"

He had noticed Wendy looking at him strangely since this morning.

He was in a good mood today and didn’t want to bother arguing with her.

But it seems, she doesn’t understand what restraint means.

"No, Director Forrest, I was wrong, I’ll go work now."

"Wait a second, I’ve said, being my secretary, you must be honest and wholehearted with me.

If you’ve got something to say, just say it, don’t be fumbling it here."

Wendy lowered her eyes and thought, then asked, "Director Forrest, haven’t you heard the rumors around the company?"

"Rumors? Let’s hear them."

"This morning, everyone was talking about how you used to be a couple with Assistant Larkin from the assistant office."

"What nonsense?" Kay Forrest’s voice unconsciously rose by several decibels.

"I also thought it should be a rumor.

That’s why I hesitated whether or not to tell you."

"You’re saying the whole company is talking about it?"

"Yes, I heard it from some people in the Assistant Office when I came in this morning.

And just before the meeting, I went to another department, and they were also discussing it."

Kay Forrest’s expression darkened as he waved his hand dismissively: "Alright, I got it, you can go."

"Yes, Director Forrest."

After Wendy left, Kay Forrest’s eyes deepened a bit.

He hesitated for a moment before making a phone call to Nolan Moore.

Nolan Moore’s voice was a bit deep when he picked up the phone.

"Hello."

"Did you hear any strange rumors this morning over there?"

"About you and Evie? I guess it must have spread throughout the whole company already."

Kay Forrest’s face was cold: "Was it you spreading those rumors?"

"Me?"

"Nolan Moore, you’re really sticking your nose too wide into this.

This is my matter, don’t just randomly spread secrets because you know about them.

Your actions may hurt the innocent Jane Quinlan."

Nolan Moore frowned; only a few people were privy to this matter.

Apart from the two involved, only he knew.

He certainly wouldn’t talk too much.

Kay Forrest wouldn’t spread rumors recklessly either.

Then... the only one left who could have spread the news must be... Evie.

What is her purpose in doing this?

What does she want?

"Say whatever you want, I own my mouth, and what I say is my freedom."

"Nolan Moore, you are courting death," Kay Forrest slammed the table.

"If you are upright, you wouldn’t fear a crooked shadow. If you no longer love Evie, why bother about what others say?"

Kay Forrest gritted his teeth; alright, this Nolan Moore, really admirable.

"Listen, Nolan, I assure you, you will pay for what you did today.

Do you think you are helping your beloved?

I tell you, you are wrong.

The more you want to help her, the more I want to destroy her."

After saying that, he hung up the phone.

He and this Nolan Moore are irreconcilable; he definitely won’t let this go.

He called Wendy in through the intercom.

Wendy respectfully asked, "Director Forrest, do you have any other instructions?"

"Tell me, what else have you heard about the rumors involving me?"

"Well... nothing really, just that you had a past relationship with Assistant Larkin."

"Didn’t they say how we broke up?"

With that, Wendy immediately knew the rumor was true.

"I did hear about it, but..."

"Speak, how did they say it?"

"They said you’re a playboy, suave and debonair, because..."

"Did they say I cheated?"

Wendy nodded.

Kay Forrest was displeased; Nolan Moore really dared to say it.

"Huh, these people are really insane; I cheated?

It was clearly Evie Larkin and Nolan Moore who got together behind my back.

Now they even dare to malign me."

Wendy’s eyes widened, feeling like she had stumbled upon some juicy gossip.

"Alright, Wendy, you go back to your work now,"

"Yes, Director Forrest."

Watching Wendy leave, Kay Forrest sneered, thinking ’What goes around comes around’ is exactly meant for this.

You think to destroy me? You’re far from capable.

Kay Forrest got up and walked downstairs, he went directly to the underground parking to call Jane Quinlan.

Since Jane heard the news, she’d been somewhat distracted.

At this moment, seeing Kay Forrest’s call, she hesitated.

Should she answer it, or not?

If she picked up and the result was that they really had been together, what then?

But if she didn’t pick up... she’d miss the chance to know the truth.

So she just picked up her phone.

She wanted to hear what he had to say.

"Hello."

"Jane, did you hear any rumors about me at the office today?"

Jane was silent.

"What’s wrong, did it affect your mood? Do you believe it?"

"No matter what others say, no matter how ugly their words, I don’t want to believe it.

I only believe you.

Kay Forrest, as the person involved, tell me, did it really happen?

As long as you say it didn’t, I’ll believe you."

Jane also wanted to turn a blind eye.

But no matter how she convinced herself, it felt too hard.

She couldn’t pretend to be ignorant.

"The rumors are true, I did have a past relationship with Evie Larkin.

I’ll tell you the whole story, I’m now in the parking lot, come find me."
