Love's Bitter Edge (Eva and Leonard) novel Chapter 498

"From this day on, I'll work overtime in my apartment, okay? Um… Can I go back to work now?" I raised an eyebrow and looked at Jack. I wasn't sure if he was still angry.

The truth was that anyone with a functioning brain could see that I was being framed. Later, a lot of people on the company forum started getting skeptical about the accusation because the photos were just too clear and taken at such a strategic angle.

Also, Jack was a highly intelligent man. How could he not see the peculiarity in this whole shebang?

With that said, Jack didn't raise his head to look at me. I thought he was reading some documents on his computer screen.

I knew that he probably wasn't mad because I worked overtime with a male colleague. Instead, it was because I ran into some trouble and didn't inform him immediately.

However, I was aware that I couldn't look to Jack every time something happened. I sighed gently and turned around to leave his office. Just as I reached the door, I heard his voice again.

"It's better for you to tread carefully in the future, Eva. Don't get your photos uploaded to the internet."

I was stunned as I turned around to look at me. "What?"

Jack raised his gaze to look at me, and there was a mix of emotions in his eyes. "The internet reaches the entire globe, Eva. Do you think that the photos of you uploaded in Erewhon won't be circulated to Pyrosia?

"The McLennon family has companies in Pyrosia as well. They have a lot of employees too. You know what I'm saying."

I finally understood what Jack meant after he reminded me. It was true that there were a lot of people working at the McLennon family's companies. Moreover, they owned international companies too.

I had this mindset that everything was airtight because I was in Erewhon, but what if the photos did get circulated in Pyrosia?

While it was true that there weren't any photos of my face directly, people close to me would be able to notice some subtle clues.

As far as everyone in Pyrosia was concerned, I was already dead. Months had come and gone since then, and maybe people didn't care about me anymore.
