NOVPUBChapter 1017: Chapter 1017: Don’t Be Angry With Me_1 Chapter 1017 -1017: Don’t Be Angry With Me_1 “It wasn’t a common assumption before, but after what Jacob Zahn said, more people have started to think this way.” Peggy Lewis’s disposition was even calmer now than it had been at noon.
It was as if she was discussing someone else’s affairs.
Lyke Zhekova pursed her lips, silently praising Peggy Lewis’s mental strength.
“So, your colleagues from the company think not only do you and I have a relationship, but also with those previous clients?” Lyke Zhekova’s expression had darkened slightly.
“Yes, that’s it,” Peggy Lewis replied somewhat frustrated.
“Then, as long as we present evidence of Jacob Zahn’s interactions with those clients, we could prove that the actual person getting contracts through his methods is Jacob Zahn and not you,” Lyke Zhekova suggested.
...
“Usuallt that would work,” answered Peggy Lewis, “but it was Jacob Zahn who involved me in this.
Although Mr.
Houston and Jacob Zahn’s relationship isn’t quite right, she hasn’t caused me any trouble, and I don’t see the need to drag Mr.
Houston into this.
She has her own responsibilities, but they are not with me.”
Lyke Zhekova suddenly laughed.
Peggy Lewis asked, “Do you think my thinking is too naive?”
Lyke Zhekova, who has control of various crucial decisions and has experienced all kinds of battles in the shopping mall, might see her thinking as overly merciful.
“No,” Lyke Zhekova shook her head, “There’s something I must confess to you, and I hope you won’t get mad at me.”
“What is it?” Peggy Lewis asked.
What could Lyke Zhekova do that would make her angry?
“Due to yesterday’s incident, I suspect that not only did Jacob Zahn have a big reaction, your colleagues at the company must have also reacted accordingly,” said Lyke Zhekova, “So I asked Wallace Martin to keep an eye on the public sentiment within your company.”
Peggy Lewis was stunned, but quickly asked, “So, when Wallace’s assistant called me today, you guys already knew?”
“Actually, he just wanted to see if you needed any help,” Lyke Zhekova explained.
Peggy Lewis chuckled and said, “But I told him like a dummy that everything was fine.”
“You can’t say that, you’re not a dummy,” Lyke Zhekova retorted.
“Wallace Martin thought you were trying to be strong and didn’t want to trouble us,” Lyke Zhekova said.
Not wanting to bother them was indeed one of the reasons.
“But, I guessed your unspoken thoughts and told them to Wallace Martin,” Lyke Zhekova continued, “they were exactly the same as what you just told me.
At that time, it was just my speculation, I didn’t expect I was right.”
“That’s why I just laughed,” Lyke Zhekova further explained, “I was initially hesitant to tell you, afraid that my investigations would make you feel uneasy.”
“But when it turned out to be such a coincidence, I wanted to let you know,” said Lyke Zhekova.
Peggy Lewis didn’t blame Lyke Zhekova, but was just curious when Lyke Zhekova started understanding her so well.
She was able to precisely grasp her thoughts.
Even though the two have not been together for long.
Even those who have been in love for a few months, a year, or even two years, might not really understand each other as they claim.
Otherwise, there wouldn’t be so many divorces.
Many times, divorces occur due to disagreements in various aspects of life with the partner.
But, doesn’t deciding to marry involve sufficient understanding of the partner beforehand?
However, living together reveals various kinds of discordances.
It could be disagreement on certain beliefs or a feeling that the partner doesn’t understand what one is thinking.
Of course, one can’t strictly blame the others for not knowing what they are thinking, why not express it out loud?
It’s quite rare to find someone who can understand your thoughts without speaking, like the worm in your stomach.
But it’s true that no matter how many years a couple has been together, they might not fully understand each other.
Lyke Zhekova has been with her for such a short time, how did she understand her personality so well?
Peggy Lewis’s heart beat faster and faster.
“It’s…
quite a coincidence,” Peggy Lewis managed to say.
“I understand your concerns, but what if we only expose Jacob Zahn?” Lyke Zhekova suggested.
Peggy Lewis looked at Lyke Zhekova, hearing her say, “In the photo, only Jacob Zahn’s full face is shown while others are captured at certain angles that make it hard to recognize them.
If a suitable angle is hard to find, just apply a mosaic filter.
The focus needs to be on Jacob Zahn.”
“In this way, others can’t guess who the other people are, and the focus stays on Jacob Zahn.
This wouldn’t implicate anyone else,” said Lyke Zhekova.
“Is that possible?” Peggy Lewis asked in surprise, she would be more than glad if that was the case.
“Since I proposed it, rest assured it is,” Lyke Zhekova smiled.
“But won’t it be…” Peggy Lewis’s words were cut off.
“No worries,” Lyke Zhekova interrupted her again.
“What will not be?” Peggy Lewis quickly asked, as she was interrupted before she could finish. 𝔫𝖔𝔳𝔭𝔲𝔟.𝖈𝔬𝔪
“It won’t trouble me,” Lyke Zhekova quickly replied.
Peggy Lewis’s heart raced even faster.
What she was about to say was indeed, “Will it be too much trouble for you guys?”
Of course, she meant “you guys”.
Peggy Lewis knew that even to handle this matter, it would actually be Wallace Martin who’d take action.
Lyke Zhekova certainly couldn’t do it personally.
However, Wallace Martin was Lyke Zhekova’s assistant, who wouldn’t do anything without Lyke Zhekova’s orders.
“However, wouldn’t digging up the evidence from previous deals that Jacob Zahn made be troublesome?” asked Peggy Lewis.
“When originally investigating Mr.
Houston and Jacob Zahn, we had already collected this evidence.
Wallace Martin is meticulous.
Without me having to say, he not only investigated this case when looking into Jacob Zahn and Mr.
Houston’s affairs, but also looked into Jacob Zahn’s previous cases,” explained Lyke Zhekova.
“Because of this investigation, we confirmed that it wasn’t a one-time occurrence with Jacob Zahn but a recurring pattern.
How could we trust such a person to be in charge of collaborations?” Lyke Zhekova asked rhetorically.
“So, the evidence is already available, and you mustn’t feel burdened by this,” said Lyke Zhekova.
Lyke Zhekova didn’t say it, but Peggy Lewis, as a corporate worker, could certainly think of it.
That Wallace Martin could have been beside Lyke Zhekova for so long proves his exceptional qualities.
And also his diligence.
Without Lyke Zhekova’s instructions, he carried out a lot of additional work.
As a result, once Lyke Zhekova needed it, he could immediately produce it.
Or, Lyke Zhekova might never need it.
And Wallace Martin would have worked in vain.
Even so, he persisted.
