Just when I was at my wit's end, Catherine sent me a video.
In the video, Jaylan was at the entrance of the Silver Tycoon Mall, helping a woman who was burdened with packages. Jaylan swiftly moved forward to relieve her of her burdens, the woman ducked into the car. The distance was too far and the action too fast, I couldn't make out the woman's face.
I watched the video twice and still couldn't identify her.
However, Jaylan was wearing the same clothes he had on when he left the house. This was clearly a recent video. I immediately called Catherine. "When did you see them?"
"Noon!"
It seems this was the real reason he hurriedly left after receiving a phone call at noon.
"Jaylan picked up that woman and they went straight to Avalon Funtime Resort. I followed them all the way, saw them walk in together. I waited outside, but they never came out. Damn, I've been staking out here. I need to see that woman's face, something about her seemed familiar."
"You didn't see her face when they went in?"
"I didn't dare to get too close. By the time I caught up, all I could see was her back!" Catherine exclaimed angrily, "That son of a gun is a real player, Allie, I feel so sorry for you!"
I chuckled sarcastically, "I'm numb to it all. I always thought I was lucky to have met a good man like Jaylan. Even if all the men in the world were unfaithful, Jaylan wouldn't be. But I was wrong. My naivety and gullibility had me chasing after him, only to be kicked to the curb. His ulterior motives have been brewing for a long time."
"What do you mean?" Catherine picked up on the hint in my words.
I choked back tears, it took me a while to regain my composure and continue speaking to Catherine, "Catherine, I fear I no longer own the company!"
"What?" Catherine shouted in disbelief, "What do you mean you no longer own it?"
I told her about what had happened at the company in the morning.
