Female Novel
Chapter 499
To Wincy's surprise, Zach seemed to figure her out with just one look. She had gotten a bit of plastic
surgery to change her face, but it was kinda weird that she still looked kinda like the person in that
picture. She had done some stuff to her eyes recently, which were a little puffy, but one had to really
stare to notice.
Trying not to look too nervous, Wincy crossed her arms and acted cool. "Do we know each other?" She
spotted some papers with her pictures on his desk and couldn't help but ask, "How much do you know
about me?"
But before Zach could say anything, she grabbed the file folder and spilled the pictures and documents
out.
When she saw those photos, Wincy froze. They were all pictures of her from way back, even before
she changed her face, from when she was in elementary school to her college days.
Her hands were shaking like crazy. "Wh-Where did you get these? How did you find my old pictures?"
"I told you, when you're checking out someone like me, I gotta know who you are too. It's just being
careful, and besides, finding info about a smart international student like you isn't hard." Zach stayed
cool, checking his watch. "So, how much longer are we gonna do this? My time's precious, and I can't
waste it here with you."
Wincy slammed the table and stood up. "Then tell me the truth. I know him well; he might hang out with
the wrong crowd, but he'd never hurt someone for no reason. Ending up in jail like this... is this all part
of your plan?"
Zach was running out of patience. "You've got two minutes to decide. Leave on your own, or I'll have
someone take you out."novelbin
He added, "You've barely been back in the country, and here you are, questioning me without knowing
the whole story. Making this situation worse won't help anyone. Think it through and figure things out
for yourself."
Zach's words got interrupted by his ringing phone. He glanced at the caller ID, then turned and strolled
over to a big window. His face softened a bit as he answered, "Madelyn... Is there something you
need?"
Madelyn, on the other end of line, looked at Ethan, who was next to her, and talked slowly, "Tonight,
can you and Father come over? We should have dinner and talk about the engagement plans. I know
it's a bit of trouble for you." She sounded deliberate, but you could tell she was tense.
Zach gave a small smile. "Of course, I'll be there on time."
"Great, I'll be waiting."
With that, he hung up after just a few short words.
Zach's expression was hard to read, but for a moment, his gaze showed some serious intensity.
Suddenly, the room felt colder.
After Zach ended the call, Wincy came up to him, looking determined. She had a little mole under her
eye, something Madelyn didn't have, making her even more alluring. "...I'm definitely gonna dig deeper
into this. Whether it was my brother's fault or not, you're under a big suspicion. Don't give me any
reason to catch you."
Without looking at her, Zach turned and called out, "Kevin."
Kevin walked in through the door. "Yes, Mr. Jardin."
"Tell all the departments the meeting's rescheduled, it will start in ten minutes."
"Understood."
Kevin glanced at Wincy, a moment of confusion crossing his face. 'Why does she look so much like
Miss. Jent? Could it be... plastic surgery?'
"Anything else, Miss Burton?" Kevin asked.
Wincy stared at Zach for a moment, realizing what she had done. She walked up to the desk and
picked up the photos. "I'll take these with me for now. And in the future... you're not allowed to
investigate me. Otherwise, I have every right to accuse you of invading my personal privacy."
With that said, Wincy, in her high-heeled shoes, put her sunglasses back on and left the office.
Kevin questioned, "Mr. Jardin, are you just going to let her make a scene in the company like this? If
she finds out about Randall's situation, it could spell trouble. Plus... it might not be good for your other
identity if it gets exposed."
Zach replied calmly, "I've got it handled. Let's head to the meeting."
Kevin added, "I got a call from Ms. Jolie. She wants out of prison and asked for our help. She also
wants us to sabotage Ethan and Madelyn's engagement."
Zach didn't show any mercy in his response, "Let her stay where she is. She brought this on herself by
acting recklessly. This is the consequence of not following instructions."
