Chapter 199 Do You Admit to Doing That?

Hobson disposed of Melinda’s boarding information and confirmed that she successfully boarded theplane to Navelie.

Jennifer sat on the courtyard couch in front of the vintage villa in Repulse Bay, attentively listening tohis report while watching the video he had handed over. The screen displayed the recently capturedfootage with remarkable clarity in visuals and the recorded conversation.

She was overcome with a mixture of disbelief, shock, and profound sadness as she watched thefootage. It felt as if she had been plunged into a frigid abyss.

Holding the phone, she remained dazed.

Hobson stood by her side, and after what seemed like an eternity, he finally broke the silence. “MissFox. Monica had malicious intentions toward you. If your condition had worsened, Melinda would’vebeen held responsible. Monica took a risk by tampering with the medication to win over Mr. Fox.”

Jennifer could not believe it.

He asked, “Don’t you want to think twice about keeping someone who resorts to such unscrupulousmethods around?”

This question undoubtedly struck her conscience. Her eyes flickered with a mix of panic andastonishment. She clenched her teeth and raised her gaze, handing the phone back to him. After amoment, she instructed him, “You can leave now. I need some time alone.”

He sighed lightly and left.

Jennifer sat on the couch, struggling to accept the harsh reality. She realized her recovery had reliedon a stroke of luck, which could have easily been undone. Monica used me as a pawn! I can’t believeher obsession with Stanley blinds her to everything else. Her love is irrational.

Contemplating the situation calmly, she realized she was caught in a dilemma. Monica had been underher care and had demonstrated exceptional skills in various areas. Her diligence and discipline wereparticularly noteworthy.

She pondered, wondering if perhaps Monica had simply made a momentary mistake.

In the vice president’s office of the Fox Group about an hour later, Monica entered after a meetingwhen her phone suddenly rang. Glancing at the caller ID, she swiftly answered, “Miss Fox.”

“Come back now.” Jennifer’s tone was indifferent.novelxo.com fast update

Monica could not sense the caller’s emotions. “I… Alright.” In reality, she had two pressing mattersdemanding her attention.

“Lydia, please take these two documents to Mr. Vance on my behalf.” She added, “I need to step out fora while, but I’ll return shortly.”

During the journey to Repulse Bay in the red Bentley, Monica repeatedly reflected on Jennifer’s tonefrom earlier. Why is she so eager for my return?

She mulled numerous possibilities while an unsettling feeling gripped her heart. When the car stoppedin the courtyard, she also steadied her mind. I’ll just face whatever lies ahead and adjust accordingly.

After all, she had spent years navigating the business world. Dealing with various circumstances hadbecome second nature to her.

As Monica stepped out of the car, her gaze immediately fell upon the middle-aged woman sitting on theoutdoor couch not far away. She gently closed the car door and walked toward her.

Jennifer’s stern gaze landed on Monica’s face, indicating that Monica was uninvited to sit down thistime. She stood before Jennifer with a smile. “Miss Fox, is there something you need from me?”

Jennifer stared at her without answering her question. Her silence caused Monica to feel a tinge ofanxiety, and her smile froze.

“Did I do something wrong?” Monica cautiously inquired, “Are you mad at me?”

Jennifer’s gaze intensified as she lifted the teacup, her voice lowering into an intimidating tone. Thinkfor yourself. Is there anything that I should be mad at you for?”

Startled, Monica maintained a calm expression.

“Seven years ago, you drugged Stanley at a charity banquet, which resulted in Melinda spending thenight with him. Do you regret your actions?”

Speechless, she met Jennifer’s gaze with astonishment.

Simultaneously, Stephanie, who came to deliver snacks, froze and stood rigidly beside the tall pottedplants.

“Do you admit to doing that?” Jennifer asked again.

Monica was aware that she must have gathered substantial evidence, as she would not be so confidentotherwise. Therefore, she had to admit it, even if it meant steeling herself.
