Jason glanced at the lawyer as he spoke.
The lawyer instantly understood, standing up, “Mr. Thaddeus, President Ashbourne, since Mr. Mark Griffith has entrusted me, I will spare no effort in handling Mr. Griffith’s case. I won’t intrude any longer; I shall take my leave now.”
Jason politely saw the lawyer out, and Evadne immediately picked up the documents to share with Thaddeus:
“This is what I had Jason look for, Wayne’s information.”
Thaddeus raised his eyebrows in surprise, “Evadne, you’re thinking along the same lines as me. I was planning to delve into S-Star Group next and then focus on Wayne. You’re so sharp.”
As he spoke, he couldn’t resist, and lightly pecked her on the lips, once, then again.
“Hmph, if I weren’t sharp, how could I keep up with you?”
Evadne coquettishly pouted, then leaned in to press her cheek against his, “This is a tough battle, I can’t just push everything onto you, I want to help share the burden.”
In that moment, Thaddeus felt a sourness in his eyes and warmth in his heart.
He wished his beloved was less driven, more laid-back, just needing his pampering.
Evadne’s passion and ambition made him feel guilty for not providing her a more peaceful life.
Evadne scrutinized the documents, then narrowed her eyes:
“Mrs. Jones has Alzheimer’s?”
Jason nodded seriously: “Yes. After finding out about this, I secretly visited the nursing home where Mrs. Jones stays, and learned more about their situation. The caretakers there say that Director-General Wayne and Mrs. Jones have an incredibly deep bond. Despite her many years of illness and her inability to care for herself, Director-General Wayne has remained devoted, taking on even the most exhausting tasks himself. It’s both touching and heart-wrenching to witness.”
This intelligence was unexpected for both Thaddeus and Evadne.
Wayne, with his high position and charming looks, just reaching his prime, had a promising future. Many women were drawn to him, hoping to replace his wife and become the glamorous spouse of a high-ranking official.
However, to their surprise, Director-General Wayne was incredibly loyal to his wife, maintaining a clean personal and political life without any blemish.
No matter how you looked at it, he was an exemplary man, a faithful husband.
“How is Mrs. Jones doing now?” Evadne asked, still perusing the documents.
