Chapter 620: Chapter 322: See You in the Evening, The Bed is Comfortable
After they had both left the restaurant, Kay Forrest was visibly furious.
"This Wendy, she almost harmed our child.
Wait until I get back and see how I deal with her."
Jane Quinlan began to smile at him: "Our child must have a great fortune.
Didn’t it just escape a disaster? Alright, don’t be angry anymore.
Wendy didn’t know that I was pregnant.
The fact that she brought me juice was also her way of trying to make amends."
"If not for the fact that she didn’t know, I’d have called her right now and told her there’s no need to come to work tomorrow.
It’s so dangerous, lucky you knew that you can’t drink hawthorn juice, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable."
Kay Forrest became even more incensed: "In the future, no matter what you eat or drink, tell me first.
I’ve hired a professional doctor to take care of you."
"Just because I’m pregnant doesn’t mean I have to make a big fuss.
Actually, aloe is also a good thing, maybe it’s just not suitable to eat at this stage.
Besides, some pregnant women still eat a little bit and they are fine, right?
I belong to the young and strong type; maybe there won’t be any problems.
Not everyone who eats it will experience negative effects, just eat less."
"You can’t be too carefree about this matter.
If something really goes wrong, won’t you suffer too?"
Jane Quinlan nodded: "Got it, got it, I will definitely be careful, okay, my dear husband?
Let’s not talk about this anymore, let’s go home.
I suddenly thought of something I want to eat."
Kay Forrest drove home, while Jane Quinlan was contemplating her next steps.
The next morning around ten o’clock, Jane Quinlan went to the office and told Kay Forrest that she wanted to go out for lunch with Daisy Zenith.
Initially, Kay Forrest also wanted to go, but Jane Quinlan wouldn’t let him.
Jane Quinlan said she had private matters to discuss with Daisy Zenith and didn’t want him to be a third wheel.
Kay Forrest expressed that this truly made him sad for a long time.
But still, he gave her permission to go out.
Jane Quinlan called Daisy Zenith, and they both went to Aloe Restaurant together.
She ordered food for Daisy Zenith and watched her eat.
After explaining the situation to Daisy Zenith, she nearly exploded.
"This Evie Larkin must be a psycho, how could she even do such a thing.
She’s practically a devil, can you really handle someone like that?"
Jane Quinlan was somewhat helpless: "There’s no choice but to handle it, which is why I called for you.
After we finish eating, I’ll need your help."
"Say the word, I’m bound by duty to help."
Jane Quinlan whispered something to Daisy Zenith, who nodded her head in agreement.
When Jane Quinlan was about to pay after their meal, Daisy Zenith said to the waiter: "I came here for lunch yesterday and lost my bag, have you found any lost bags?"
"No, customer, while there are occasionally lost items found in our restaurant.
But yesterday, there were no belongings left by customers."
Daisy Zenith was puzzled: "That’s strange.
I only realized my bag was missing after I returned to my office after eating lunch here yesterday.
Oh right, you guys have surveillance here, could you let me check the restaurant’s footage from yesterday afternoon?
If indeed I took my bag with me, then it must have dropped somewhere else.
I’ll go look in other places."
"Please wait a moment, I will speak to our manager about it."
The waiter went to find the manager and soon the manager personally came to take Daisy Zenith and Jane Quinlan to view the surveillance.
Daisy Zenith said she couldn’t remember the exact time from yesterday, as she got off work at eleven, so they started watching from 11:10 AM.
At first, the manager accompanied them to view the footage.
But later, Jane Quinlan felt quite embarrassed because it was busy at midday, so she suggested the manager attend to his other duties.
The two of them attentively watched the screen and at the 11:30 AM mark on the video, Jane Quinlan saw Evie Larkin and Wendy’s figures in the footage.
She rewound that segment and recorded it with her phone.
Even though it was fast-forwarded, the image was very clear. The two were talking about something unknown and later took away a packaged drink.
Regardless of the process of the incident.
Wendy was indeed with Evie Larkin yesterday at noon.
Therefore, that drink certainly wasn’t intended to cause her an allergic reaction.
After recording the video, Daisy Zenith told the staff that they finished watching and that she had taken her bag with her when she left; it must have been dropped elsewhere.
The staff was also busy, and considerately escorted Daisy Zenith out.
When they reached the entrance, Daisy Zenith said to Jane Quinlan: "It’s clear that someone was intending to harm you.
You must tell Director Forrest about this directly."
"I will speak up when the time comes, but now isn’t the moment."
"Why the hurry?" Daisy became anxious. "Director Forrest will revenge for you. "
"I’m fully aware of Kay’s sincerity towards me, hence I trust he’ll help me.
If he finds out about this, he’ll definitely lose his cool and deal with Evie Larkin harshly.
But there are things I need to consider right now.
Evie Larkin’s parents have done favors for the Forrests.
Kay’s impulsivity could make it tough for the Forrest elders to take sides.
It’s a matter concerning the Forrest family’s lineage. Evie Larkin’s recent actions were indeed audacious.
However, I don’t want Kay and the Forrests to fight over someone like Evie Larkin.
And I certainly don’t want to make things difficult for the Forrests.
Besides, I can’t expect Kay to help me out for the rest of my life, can I?
If Evie Larkin is targeting me, there’s no reason for me to back down. I have to deal with her myself.
If she dares to instigate, I’ll dare to fight back. "
"Against such a nasty woman, are you sure you can match her?"
Jane Quinlan laughed and patted Daisy’s shoulder: "I might not have been up to it before,
but now I’m a mother.
The strength of a mother is immense. To protect my child, I’m capable of anything."
Daisy nodded: "Alright then, just remember to call on me if you need anything. I’ll stand by you unconditionally."
"Got it, got it," Jane nodded with a smile. "Alright, it’s getting late. You should head back to the news agency."
"You haven’t eaten yet."
Jane nodded: "I’ll find a restaurant to eat in a bit. Don’t worry, I won’t mistreat myself."
After Daisy left, Jane found a restaurant, had a bowl of porridge, and then returned to the company.
Ever since Jane overheard Wendy’s phone call last night,
Wendy had been unusually compliant today.
Although she still refused to speak to Jane, it seemed like she was wary of her somehow.
Jane thought Wendy’s behavior was a classic sign of a guilty conscience.
Knowing to be fearful is good; Jane was even less inclined to bother with her.
Upon returning, she pushed open the door to Kay’s office and went in as if Wendy didn’t exist.
"I’m back."
Kay Forrest looked at his watch: "Wow, you seem to talk longer with Daisy Zenith than you do with me."
"Who said I went to chat? I was playing Holmes."
"What kind of nonsense is that?"
Jane shook her head: "It’s a secret for now."
Kay hissed: "My mood’s gotten exceptionally bad after hearing that. Do we have secrets between us now?"
Jane walked over and sat on his thigh with a mischievous smile: "Daisy came to me for advice about matters between men and women.
For such topics, it’s better if men don’t get involved.
Otherwise, Daisy might get embarrassed."
Kay’s eyes widened: "What, my brother isn’t good enough? Is Daisy having troubles?"
Jane tapped his forehead: "Nonsense, my brother’s just like you, dressing up his girlfriend in that kind of clothing. Daisy’s just bewildered."
Indeed, Daisy had previously talked to her about this, one late night before the New Year, chatting ’til dawn.
Conveniently, it served as a good excuse today.
Kay laughed heartily, patting her thigh: "All men are essentially the same.
But with the conversation shifting to this topic, I kind of want to unzip and go for it. How about it?"
Jane glared at him: "No."
Standing up, she pondered: "Let’s wait for tonight, it’s more comfortable on the bed."
Kay gave a knowing look as if he understood her thoughts, and Jane turned and left the office with a mischievous smile.
At the door, her gaze landed on Wendy.
Sensing Jane’s look, Wendy hesitated for quite some time before slowly lifting her eyes to meet Jane’s.
After locking eyes for a moment, Wendy finally said coldly, "What are you looking at me for?"
Jane smirked coldly and returned to her seat without a word.
Wendy scoffed: "Don’t think that just because you overheard my conversation last night, I’ll be afraid of you.
Jane Quinlan, I’m not as weak as you think."
Jane nodded: "I’m clear on that, or else you wouldn’t overreach and covet what isn’t yours.
But one thing did surprise me.
I used to think you were smart, but now it seems... you’re just a fool.
Being played like a fiddle and not even aware.
Just wait and see, you’ll regret it one day, and that day isn’t far off."
