154: Chapter 154: Pasting Your Photo 154: Chapter 154: Pasting Your Photo Lucy Campbell left several cars here, in addition to the flashy red Porsche driven by Jas Brown, there were also two BMWs and two rcedes.
One of the black BMWs was even bulletproof, which Gina Lopez decided to use for the ti being.
She also lent Sunny Nguyen another BMW for the ti being, which made things more convenient for the three of them at work.
Once the company really took off, these cars would certainly need to be managed collectively.
Since Lucy trusted her so much, she wasn’t there to enjoy herself.
She would handle everything according to standard company managent and wouldn’t waste a single cent of company money.
A little after four, Jas drove ho and parked the Ferrari in the underground garage.
Although the car perford well, he always felt a bit awkward driving such a vehicle.
As soon as he got out of the car, he saw Helen Wilson, the police officer, staring at him with a hostile look.
“Good day, Officer Wilson.” Seeing Helen, Jas felt in good spirits, and teasing her seed like an amusing pasti.
“Where did you get that car?” Helen strode up to Jas and asked with a stern face.
Jas laughed and said, “Haven’t you seen this car before?”
Helen glanced at the license plate and suddenly rembered it belonged to Jas’s wealthy female neighbor, but she still asked suspiciously, “Her car, how co you’re driving it?”
“We’re neighbors, for heaven’s sake.
Can’t I borrow it?”
Helen’s quick retort left Jas at a loss for words and slightly annoyed, mainly because Jas was such a sleazy guy, constantly deceiving won—one after another.
A few days ago, it was a company CEO, and now he had hooked up with another rich woman with powerful connections.
Seeing Helen silent, Jas said with a grin, “Officer Wilson, you’re back early today?
Seems like it’s not yet ti to clock out, right?”
“Is it a problem if I have things to take care of?” Helen shot Jas an irritated look and strode away.
Jas chuckled but didn’t bother with Helen anymore, heading straight for the elevator.
Just after a few steps, Helen followed and asked, “Aren’t you going to invite to sit at your place?”
“If Officer Wilson wishes to visit, of course I must invite you.
But sohow, that seems a bit inappropriate, doesn’t it?” Jas was puzzled by Helen’s atypical behavior.
“I have so questions I want to ask you.
Let’s go,” Helen said and walked directly to the elevator.
Once they arrived at Jas’s place, he poured Helen a glass of water, and they both sat on the couch.
Helen’s gaze swept around Jas’s ho before she asked, “What exactly is your relationship with Brother Bob?”
“No relationship at all,” Jas answered, lighting a cigarette and taking a leisurely puff.
Helen’s eyes widened in disbelief and she pressed on, “Don’t play dumb with , do you think I’m blind?
I know exactly what kind of person Brother Bob is; he’s definitely not a good guy.
He was surprisingly tolerant towards you during that fight.
If there’s no relationship, how could that be possible?”
Jas responded with a smile, “Maybe he thought I was not soone to ss with, so he backed down?”
“You?
Not soone to ss with?
So what you an is, you have more clout than Brother Bob?” Helen stared intensely at Jas.
Jas widened his eyes, looked at Helen, and suddenly reached out his hand towards her forehead.
Helen quickly slapped his hand away and snapped, “What are you doing?”
“I was checking if you have a fever, Officer Wilson.”
“Why would I have a fever?
Stop beating around the bush and tell what you really do?”
Jas, half-amused and half-frustrated, said, “Look, Officer Wilson, can we not let our imaginations run wild?
That day, things were about to escalate, but because you suddenly showed up, he held back because you’re the new deputy chief.
Now, you co up with this story that I have more power than he does.
Oh, you’re right; I certainly do have more power—I have Officer David Woods backing up.”
Helen had been investigating Jas the past couple of days, but looking at his files, she found no criminal record, and he had only recently left the military.
She couldn’t quite believe he was involved in organized cri, and today, her intention was just to bluff Jas a little.
Glancing at Jas Brown out of the corner of her eye, Joan said, “So I heard you can fight pretty well, taking on seven guys single-handedly and effortlessly knocking them down.”
“That’s not true; I’m not that great.
People just like to exaggerate.
They had just fought with so high school students and were all pretty exhausted, so that’s why I was able to take them down.
Besides, with fighting, if you dare to make the first move, you usually have an advantage.”
Joan stared at Jas Brown, then suddenly stood up and said, “Then try sparring with .”
“Officer Monaghan, what are you doing?
What spar with you?” Jas Brown imdiately pretended to be very scared and shrank back.
Joan suddenly grabbed Jas Brown by his collar, fiercely saying, “I said we’re going to spar.”
“Officer Monaghan, you’re a police officer; you can’t force people like this.”
“I’m forcing you?” Joan’s face grew even grimr as she clenched her teeth and said, “I rember the first ti I t you, you were fiddling with your neighbor’s door.
I wanted to catch you then, but you just kept on tangling with .”
Jas finally realized why Joan was after him.
It was because of what happened that day, making her think he was purposely acting weak.
He imdiately chuckled and said, “Officer Monaghan, that was just a joke back then.
Don’t take it seriously.
You’re a cop; of course, I couldn’t deal with you like I would a street thug without risking a misunderstanding that I’m a thief.”
“Is that so…” Joan huffed coldly and said, “Then why were you hugging and holding , pinning down?
Don’t tell all that was to avoid being rough with .”
“That…
That…” Jas Brown stuttered, then with a determined shake of his hand, said, “Alright, I’ll tell you the truth then.”
Joan’s expression didn’t change, but she felt quite smug, finally getting Jas Brown to tell the truth.
She said sternly, “Speak.”
“Officer Monaghan.” Jas Brown’s gaze suddenly beca extrely soft, and he moved closer to Joan, saying, “Officer Monaghan, do you believe in love at first sight?”
“What?” Joan felt uneasy under Jas Brown’s gaze.
Especially with the ntion of love at first sight, she suddenly had a bad feeling and quickly retreated, raising her hand to block him, “Stop beating around the bush and spill it.”
“Officer Monaghan, the mont I saw you, I felt you were the one I’ve been waiting for all my life.
Blinded by love and Inner Acun, I did what I did to you.
I know I’m not worthy of you, and I’ll never be able to make you like .
Even if I did sothing bad to you then, if it ant you would rember for the rest of your life, it would have been worth it…”
“Shut up!” Joan turned pale, her body breaking out in goosebumps as she shouted and suddenly stood up.
“Officer Monaghan, I’ve been holding these words in my heart for a long ti.
Just let say them, please.
I really like you.
That day when you got drunk and stayed at my place, I was so happy.
With any other woman, I would have done sothing beastly, but you are my Goddess, I didn’t have a single frivolous thought.
I just took care of you, and I was so happy.
At work during the day, I thought of you; at night, I thought of you.
I even considered buying an inflatable doll, pasting your photo on it, and holding ‘you’ every day…”
“Ah!” Joan let out a scream, feeling waves of nausea.
This guy was too filthy, considering buying an inflatable doll and pasting her picture on it – it was disgustingly unbearable.
She dashed in an arrow step to Jas’s sole small bedroom, checking the bed which had nothing on it, then opened the wardrobe and searched it too, but found nothing.
Jas followed her inside and said, “Officer Monaghan, you don’t need to look.
I know my thoughts were filthy, and that’s a desecration of my Goddess.
It was just a thought, and I never actually bought it.”
Joan breathed a sigh of relief, but looking at Jas’s ‘tender as water,’ ‘endless affection’ gaze, she shivered, forcefully pushed him away, and in the blink of an eye ran out of Jas’s house.
Getting into the elevator, Joan shivered several more tis.
“No, no more, I’m never seeing this guy again.
He’s just too awful.
How could there be such a shaless man in this world?
Oh, heaven, strike him dead with a few bolts of lightning.”
Jas Brown, having scared Joan away, couldn’t help laughing heartily in his room.
He did understand a bit about Officer Monaghan; although she didn’t seem to be the violent cop type, she was a woman with a strong sense of career.
So, when it ca to affection, she was quite straightforward.
Using those filthy words, Joan was definitely unable to take it.
Thinking about how Joan would avoid him in the future made him even more amused.
Naturally, Jas’s main concern was that Joan was now suspicious of so things about him.
If he didn’t scare her off, she’d surely co to bother him periodically.
Although Jas wasn’t worried about Joan finding any evidence of illegal activities on him, being watched by her like a hawk would be uncomfortable.
After tidying up and making a simple dinner, Jas sat down to eat alone.
Only he was at the dining table and, unexpectedly, he felt uneasy.
These past days, he either ate with Gina Lopez, Emily Lopez, Linda Campbell, or Emily Jenkins.
Having beautiful won for company always made als more appetizing than eating alone.
“Knock, knock.” Before he had even taken a bite, there was a knock on the door.
Jas quickly went to open it.
The visitors to his ho were mostly won, none of them n.
But when he opened the door and saw this particular woman, Jas Brown still frowned.
