Chapter 990

Jackie probably had his own reasons for staying in Bassburgh,

Maisie suddenly remembered bumping into Zeta at the restaurant and that the latter had said she was going to meet a friend. “Were you the friend Zeta met at the restaurant that day?”

Jackie turned to look at her. “Why?”

Maisie crossed her arms and said it was nothing, then added, “Zeta was someone Madam Knowles arranged to get close to Mr. Knowles. Did you… not know?”

After saying that, she raised her brows and smiled. “You didn’t get involved in the affairs of the Knowles, nor did you ask why Zeta borrowed your car. You might be pretending to be ignorant, but since you lent her your own car without question, it means that you were very close.”

People would usually only lend their cars to the people they trusted and had a good relationship with. Otherwise, would they lend them their cars?

Jackie chuckled. “Are you an investigator?”

Maisie shrugged.

The wind blew the last leaf off the tree while Jackie stayed quiet and talked about Zeta.

Jackie had been a chubby boy that people looked down on back in school. Even during the three years in high school or after getting into the University of Yaramoor, he had had good grades but had been self-conscious about his looks, so he studied hard and never thought about making friends.

The friendship he had gained after changing his looks was definitely not as sincere as the one he had with Zeta.

A girl who didn’t discriminate against him based on his looks when he was in a foreign country and who gave her encouragement and support was a huge blessing to him.

Maisie looked at Jackie. “If that was the case, why didn’t you date?’

Jackie chucked but looked sad. “You said she worked for Madam Knowles and knew Grandpa. So she knew who I was.”

That meant that everything Zeta had done was because she knew who he was. Jackie sighed again. “I might have thought that this was fate if not because of that. She was honest with me about approaching me because she knew who I was, but she didn’t intend to use me. I convinced myself to forgive her and told her how I felt, but she turned me down.”
