Chapter 395
“Mr. Jasper, these documents need your signature,” said Sam, his assistant, as he walked into the CEO’s office at Jasper Corporation and handed over a few files.
“Just leave them there,” Sean replied without even glancing up from his phone.
“Yes, Mr. Jasper.”
Sam placed the documents on the desk and quietly stepped out.
Sean was scrolling through his calendar when he suddenly noticed the date National Couples Day was just around the corner. He needed to get Charlotte a gift.
They weren’t officially together. He was still chasing her but moments like this were opportunities. And he wasn’t about to
waste one.
He grabbed his phone and called the son of a luxury CEO to ask if they had any upcoming limited–edition handbags. The young man chuckled and teased in Frangelian, “Trying
win girl’s heart?”
Sean answered smoothly in flawless Frangelian, “Yes. It’s for my future wife.”
“Lottie, I assume? Did you two get back together?”
Everyone close to Sean knew exactly who that “future wife” was Charlotte Riley.
“Not yet.”
“I‘ neck with the company GM and get back to you.”
The CEO’s son didn’t usually concern himself with product details, but he knew Sean well.
“Appreciate it,” Sean replied coolly.
“Don’t mention it.”
A few minutes later, the call came back. The company was indeed about to launch a globally limited handbag in three colors. He forwarded Sean the product photos.
Sean flipped through them one by one. The design was elegant, and the bags came in matte crocodile leather–black, white, and chestnut brown–each priced at 1.5 million dollars.
All three were classic and versatile. Charlotte would definitely like them.
“I’ll take one of each,” Sean said.
The other man laughed. “Got it. No need to pay–consider them a gift from me. Hope you and Lottie get back together soon.”
“That won’t do. If it’s for her, I’ll pay for it myself.”
After ending the call, Sean immediately transferred 4.5 million.
Meanwhile, Wendy had struck a deal with the rich playboy she had contacted.
He agreed to help her leave the country but only if she slept with him first.
Her expression stiffened. It had only been a little over a month since her abortion, and her doctor had warned her against intercourse for at least three months. Getting pregnant again within six months could cause serious, permanent damage to her body.

But if she waited three months, her court case would already be deded. By then, escape would be impossible. After struggling with the decision, Wendy gritted her teeth and agreed.
That night was a mess. The next morning, lying in the man’s arms she tried to play sweet. “When are you taking me out of the country, honey?”
Her body was covered in hickeys, and she was still sore from everything he had done to her the night before.
The man mumbled sleepily, “What’s the rush? I said I’d help, so I will.”
Wendy rolled her eyes.
Of course she was in a rush. If she didn’t act quickly and Charlotte caught wind of her plan, she wouldn’t be able to get away. Once the court issued a final ruling, she would be facing community corrections. And if she failed to meet the requirements, prison was next.
Lowering her voice, Wendy coaxed, “You know I’ve got that legal mess with Charlotte. I need to leave the country soon. If I don’t, I’ll end up behind bars.”
“Yeah, yeah, I got it,” the man muttered, rolling over. “Let me sleep.”
Fury burned in Wendy’s eyes.
