The Reclaimed Rose (Annalise and Steven) novel Chapter 529

Just a few days ago, Jessica was very harsh to Casper. It sounded as if she wanted to completely cut ties with him.

Jessica asked hesitantly, "Did you go to Huxham Corporation today?"

In response, Casper asked, "And how did you know that?"

"That's not for you to know," Jessica said.

Judging from his response, Jessica felt her heart sink. She could tell that Casper was serious; Yvonne wasn't lying.

Without thinking, Jessica said, "I have my ways."

Casper remained silent for a moment, his thoughts drifting back to how he revealed Jessica's plans to release a sex tape of him and Annalise online. After that, Zane summoned him to Huxham Corporation.

But the truth was, nothing happened between Casper and Annalise.

When Casper heard what Jessica said, he immediately realized it was all a part of Zane's plan—including his visit to Huxham Corporation. Zane wanted to use Casper to divert Jessica's attention.

Casper knew that Zane had many ways to protect Annalise. But if Zane was willing to take advantage of him, it meant Zane had intentions to mentor him.

With that in mind, Casper casually answered, "Yeah, I was there."

Jessica immediately responded, "And?"

Casper said patiently, "I was discussing a partnership with Zane."

Jessica's speech sped up gradually. She asked, "Does Zane think highly of you?"

After a long silence, Casper said, "Okay."

By the time I was done with the autographs, my hand was extremely sore. After putting the pen aside, I said to the exhausted employees, "I'll be off to pick my daughter up from school.

"Do you have more for me to sign tomorrow? If you do, I can come over in the morning. I can't come in the afternoon because my daughter has an activity in her kindergarten that requires my attendance."

The two employees rested their heads on the books and said, "It's fine. Our boss said that this is enough. If we have a reprint and need more autographs, we'll let you know!"

"Okay."

After getting into the car, I called Zane and asked, "Should I meet you at the office?"
