Chapter 143
Meanwhile, Peter was instructing his assistant about this matter.
“There must be someone behind Zoey. You need to keep an eye on her for me, and if anyone contacts her, you need to inform me immediately!” A rare trace of viciousness surged in Peter’s eyes.
One had to know that he was used to idling away in seeking pleasure.
It was rare for him to be so serious.
This time, the person who planned everything had really angered him.
Zoey had just won the Best Actress Award some time ago.
Coincidentally, her contract with her previous company was about to expire.
Therefore, he had been trying to lure her to his company.
During this period of time, he interacted quite a lot with her.
All the details had clearly been discussed appropriately.
Zoey came over today to sign the contract with him.
However, Zoey also brought a bottle of red wine over, saying that it was to celebrate the successful signing of the contract.
He did not suspect anything at that time and drank it directly.
Unexpectedly, after drinking it, he felt that he could not muster any strength.
Then, Zoey helped him to the lounge inside.
To be honest, Zoey was pretty good-looking and had a good personality.
He did like her, but she couldn’t force him like this!
Moreover, that woman actually wanted to record a video of them doing it.
This was a huge taboo for him!
“Ok!” The assistant quickly replied.
Peter still felt that it was not enough after giving all the instructions.
He added, “Zoey really thinks I’m a pushover. Go and investigate things about her. I don’t want to see this person ever again!”
And he was gonna find out who was behind all this!
“Got it!” The assistant was also shocked.
Mr. Moore was really furious this time.
One had to know that he was famous for being protective of women. If a girl did something wrong, as long as it was not something very serious, he would basically not blame her.
Previously, there was a female secretary who had made a mistake in one of his schedules.
As a result, Mr. Moore lost a very important project.
The young secretary was so frightened that she was even prepared to be sent to jail.
In the end, not only did Peter not blame her, he even comforted her.
He said that humans were not machines. There would always be times when they made mistakes.
She just had to remember this lesson and not make the same mistake again.
That young secretary was really grateful.
She had already become the most capable manager in the marketing department.
But this time, he wanted to make Zoey suffer.
Miss Roberts was really st*pid. Instead of trying to get such a generous and gentlemanly boyfriend, she chose to use those despicable tricks.
She attached importance to the secondary but neglected the primary.
“Mr. Moore, the lounge is ready. You can go and rest now.” At this moment, Jessica walked out of the lounge.
The viciousness on Peter’s face instantly disappeared.
Then he nodded. “Okay.”
Just as he was about to try to stand up, Jessica immediately went forward to hold his arm.
Peter turned around and looked at her. Jessica still looked innocent.
Peter did not say anything and let her help him to the lounge.
After lying on the bed, Peter found a new bed and bedding. They were all his favorite styles and colors.
Even the room was filled with a faint fragrance.
“Mr. Moore, I’ve lit some incense for you to help you sleep. It can help you sleep better,” Jessica explained.
“… Okay.” Peter, who was originally furious, instantly calmed down.
“Then I’ll go out first. But don’t worry. I’ll be right outside the door. If you need anything, you can call me. I’ll come in immediately,” Jessica said.
“… Alright.” Peter had been relying on his willpower to hold on.
At this moment, he finally couldn’t take it anymore and closed his eyes to sleep.
Jessica looked at Peter, whose breathing had stabilized, and slowly retreated.
She gently closed the door for him.
The assistant was still in the office outside.
Seeing Jessica come out, he quickly handed her a bag.
“What?” Jessica looked at him in confusion.
“You just hurt your hand. You better deal with it. You’re a girl, so it’s not good if you have some scars on your body.” The assistant’s tone was gentle.
After all, he still kind of liked Jessica as his working partner.
“Huh?” When Jessica heard this, she lowered her head and looked at her elbow.
She realized that a large piece of her skin had been rubbed off.
However, the blood had already dried up.
Before, Jessica did not feel any pain when she didn’t see the wound, but now that she saw it, she immediately felt pain.
She couldn’t help but frown deeply.
“Do you want me to help you?” Seeing Jessica like this, the assistant was a little helpless.
He had thought that this little girl was not afraid of pain, but it turned out that she just did not notice it.
“No need, I can do it myself.” Jessica shook her head repeatedly.
The assistant did not insist and only handed the medicine to her.
“Thank you.” Jessica quickly took it with both hands.
“While Mr. Moore is sleeping, you can rest here too. I’ll be outside. Don’t worry,” the assistant said.
“… Okay,” Jessica replied.
She was even more grateful to the assistant.
People around Peter were all good men like him.
After the assistant left, Jessica sat at the side and began to deal with her injuries.
Marina, however, had no idea what was going on with Jessica.
At this moment, she was preparing to deal with the people who were still investigating Quantum.
However, before she could make a move, Oscar returned with news.
“What? You’re saying that everyone has been dealt with?” Marina frowned.
“That’s right. When we arrived there, those groups of people had already been cleared. Moreover, there were no traces left at the scene,” Oscar said.
Marina immediately fell silent.
“Miss, could it be that they have taken advantage of us?” Oscar asked again.
“We can’t rule out this possibility, but I still find it a little odd. Keep investigating and see who did that to them,” Marina said in a low voice.
“Got it!” Oscar immediately replied.
He then took out a gilded invitation card and handed it to Marina.
“This is an invitation sent over by Alfredo Garcia. It is his 80th birthday party tonight. Miss, do you want to go over?”
“Alfredo Garcia?” When Marina heard this, her eyes could not help but flash.
“Yes.” Oscar nodded.
Actually, Oscar basically wouldn’t bring the invitations sent over to her.
This was because she almost never attended such banquets.
She felt that it was a waste of time.
But the Garcia family and the Bailey family had an unusual relationship. Moreover, this invitation was personally sent over by Alfredo’s men.
Therefore, Oscar went out of his way to ask her.
