The Girl
‘Jasper Brennan didn't deny that the downfall of the Valmont family was due to a girl involved, as Elise Valmont had once said. Does that mean that Silverlake Prince would soon be taken from us?’News spread like wildfire. Everyone spoke about it. They watched the short interview again and again. Short clips of the part Jasper had confessed to were circulating everywhere. Not just everywhere in Silverlake, but it found its way to Ashford and to Jasmine. She was quick to send the short clip to Sophia, who sat in her office chair, working on a serious contract. Her eyes caught sight of Jasper's back, and she decided to watch the video even though she was busy. Jasmine would not just send a video to distract her, unless it's very important. She clicked play. Her eyes were glued to her screen. It was a two-minute video, but Sophia's face coloured immediately after she was done watching it. She played it again and again, and her smile only grew wider. Jasper actually said that to
Back to Silverlake
{Eliminate Adrian Snow}The screen popped up before Jasper the moment he opened his eyes, waking up from sleep. Jasper furrowed his brows. Eliminate Adrian Snow?The guy was already in jail. Does he have to go to jail to eliminate the man? “How do I do that?" Jasper asked, “You said the next destination was Ashford. Now, I have to go back to Silverlake for Adrian Snow." He hissed. He got out of bed. A few minutes later, he stepped out of the room and saw Sophia already dressed for work. “You're up early." Sophia smiled.Jasper had slept very late the previous day as he was working on some work he needed to finish and send back to Rowan. " Yeahhh.”" Bai Zhe called yesterday.” Sophia glanced at Jasper. " Okay…?” " He wants to partner with the Darlington corp. Did you tell him to?” Sophia asked. Bai Zhe's name has been all over the net since he won the case in Westfield. Not only was he a winner, he was given access to build his company there as well. So he was one of the mo
Hope again
A week later.Jasper was in the living room, sipping a glass of wine with his legs crossed, he had the phone pressed to his ear while scrolling through his laptop. He was speaking with Rowan on the phone.The morning sun pushed through the large windows in Ashford. He wore a serious face as he listened with keen attention.Rowan's voice came through clearly. "...and the Valmont family went down. So many people are confused and scared. Elder Valmont used to be one of the big decision makers in Silverlake." Jasper hummed. He knew. The man had power that was why he also met Old Mr. Palmer for backing. “Now that he has been arrested and stripped of every position, the public is insisting that you step in and assume his position.”Jasper let out a small chuckle then caressed his forehead gently. “I knew this would come up. Well, I'm not interested. Let them know.” Rowan sighed. He knew Jasper wouldn't accept the position. "They should give the position to old Mr. Palmer. He has more
New trouble.
After Lunch, Jasper drove back home with Sophia. The restaurant was beautiful and welcoming.Jasper chose a seat near the window at a corner table for both of them.He ordered grilled fish spiced with veggies for both of them. Sophia was not really hungry, but she managed to eat slowly as Jasper kept talking about trivial topics. He spoke about random topics just to cheer her up and shift her mind from all that happened earlier that morning.He maintained a soft look at Sophia. He continued to smile back at her, at intervals. Then, while they relished the moment, Jasper casually reached over the table and grasped hers.She felt a weird, warm sensation in her heart at that precise time. After a long time, she was not having that lonely feeling after all.When they were done eating, Jasper sorted out their bills, then took her handbag from the table, in a gentleman's manner, held her hand softly and they made their way to the car.It was a quiet drive back home, they were both silent ex
Judgement day
Sophia began to address the board members as soon as the policemen took Jamie out of the room. She felt a deep relief wash over her as she sat down on her reserved seat.“Good day to everyone.” She greeted, and the board members responded accordingly. “I'm sorry for the way things turned out, and I promise you that everything is going to be fine.”The board members applauded her speech before she could even complete the statement. She felt truly welcomed back to her seat. She waited for them to stop clapping before she continued as she pressed a smile to her face.“Send an emergency notice to every employee and stakeholder. I want everyone to be present in this meeting. I can wait for half an hour. Anyone who doesn't make it to this room in half an hour should consider himself fired.” Sophia announced as one of the board members quickly sent the message to them while they discussed trivial matters to whirl away time till the employees and stakeholders would arrive.Fifteen minutes lat
A ghost
Sophia stood by the doorway to the meeting room, keeping her gaze locked with those of the shocked board members. Her eyes rolled in Jamie’s direction as a gentle scoff left her lips.Jasper could have easily decided to accompany her to the meeting room, but he chose not to. Instead, he sent Tiger, knowing Jamie was an aggressive person who would do anything to protect his ego and secure his position.“So what now?” Sophia's voice echoed in the room. It felt like no one else was present. No one could say a word. It felt unreal, like they were staring at a ghost.Jamie’s gaze continued to follow Sophia as she walked into the room, with Tiger standing gallantly behind her. He was dumbfounded. What else could he say?He had been clamoring for the board members to get a verified news update, trying hard to debunk the news of Sophia being back and alive. His heart began to beat faster than usual. He placed a palm on his chest but remained seated on the special seat meant for the heir of th
