Jayne didn’t believe Chase’s words.
"It's fine if you don't wanna say it. Just continue sleeping alone tonight." Jayne felt that Chase was still angry, so he didn't want to tell the truth.
She walked back to another bedroom while talking, and she needed to prepare plans for the villa area in Dragon Lake.
Chase looked at Jayne's reaction, shrugging.
Why didn’t Jayne believe in him all the time?
When Jayne went back to the bedroom and was about to make the plan, she received a phone call from her sister.
"Sis, have you asked Chase yet?" Jeannie asked.
"Yes, but he's not willing to tell me. Maybe he's still angry. I'll ask him another day." Jayne said.
"Oh, okay, let me know when you get the answer," Jannie said.
"Well, is there anything else? If that's it, I'll get back to work." Jayne nodded.
"That's it. Take your time." Jannie hung up the phone; that's the only thing that she wanted to know.
Jayne put down the phone, leaned back on the chair, and lost in thought.
Was it Chase?
Could she trust him?
But if it wasn't him, who would it be?
......
The next day, Chase came to the company and saw a black leather bag beside the parterre, so he picked it up and walked to the security guard who was patrolling nearby.
"Sean, I found it over there. Put it in the security room to see who lost it." Chase handed the black bag to Sean.
"Don't you see me on patrol? Won't you put it in the security room by yourself? " Sean said impatiently.
"Alright, take your time." Chase nodded; He had not been in the security department for several days. He forgot that the whole security department had a prejudice against him.
"Who the heck do you think you are? Do you think you have become someone when you have President Joel on your back?" Sean looked at the back of Chase, who was walking to the security room and hummed coldly.
"If you can be just like him to send your wife to President Joel's bed, you can do whatever you want as well." Another security guard laughed and said.
Chase suddenly turned around when he heard the words and stared at Sean with a cold face.
"Who spread the rumor? Hale? Milne? " A cold light flashed in Chase's eyes.
He could pretend not to care so many things, but he could not pretend not to know as they concerned his wife's well-being.
Two days ago, he asked Joel to investigate this matter. Unexpectedly, he heard such rumors today, and he was also disappointed in Joel.
Chase decided to look into the matter personally today.
"How do we know who spread it? Anyway, someone else said so. Besides, this is the reality. You dare to give your wife away, and dare not let others say it? " Another security guard named Zeno sneered.
Chase looked at them with a gloomy face and said coldly, "you two have been fired. Either tell me who spread the rumors now or wait for the police to investigate you."
Chase decided to go through the legal process. He believed the police could find out who was behind the rumor.
"Oh, you think you can do whatever you want by giving out your wife?" Sean didn't believe that Chase could fire them.
If that's the case, the company would be in a mess.
In terms of justice, they still believed in President Joel.
Besides, President Joel was only the second in charge of the company.
Chase didn't want to talk to them anymore and turned straight to the security department.
Chase thought that to fire two security guards was just a matter of one sentence; there's no need to discuss it more.
"Chase, why do you have Sister Iris's purse in your hand?" Chase just came to the security department; Hale was staring at the black leather bag in Chase's hand and asked.
"I just picked it up outside. If it belongs to Iris from the financial department, you can give it to her later." Chase handed the bag to Hale.
Hale took the bag from Chase and looked at it; He frowned and said, "Where's the money in it?"
"What? Money?" Chase frowned. The bag was empty when he found it. There was nothing in it.
"I went to get one hundred thousand yuan and put them in this bag. I don't know what happened. I dropped it negligently when I came back. Chase, if you take the money, you must return it to Iris. Iris has some difficulties in her family. She really can't afford to pay back the one hundred thousand yuan."
Simultaneously, a middle-aged woman came out of the security room, which was Iris in the company's financial department.
Iris looked very anxious; One hundred thousand yuan was not a small amount for her. She was also asking the security department to help her find the money.
"Iris, he must have taken the money. Otherwise, how could the bag be in his hand?" Hale said positively.
"Iris, I didn't take the money. It was already empty when I pick it up." Chase didn't care about one hundred thousand yuan, but the truth was that he didn't take the money. So he would never admit it.
"Chase. Stop making me laugh. Iris's bag is in your hand. You said that you didn't take the money from it. Do you think we are all fools?" Hale laughed.
"Do you think I'm the person who needs to steal one hundred thousand yuan?" Chase's eyes narrowed slightly. He could see that Hale was trying to set him up.
"What are you pretending to be? Some time ago, your daughter was ill and lived in the hospital for half a year. Now you still owe hundreds of thousands of medical expenses from others. Do you still say that you are not short of one hundred thousand yuan? " Hale laughed more proudly.
"Yes, Iris. We can testify that Chase often asks for leave because his daughter was ill. In order to cure his daughter, he has indeed borrowed hundreds of thousands of yuan, so he must have taken away your money."
Sean and Zeno sneered at Chase; Chase had just threatened to fire them. Although they are were afraid of it, they would not let go of the opportunity of disgusting Chase.
In fact, both of them didn't know what was going on, but they just gathered together to create a disturbance.
"Chase, I'm begging you. Please give back the money to me. I really can't afford it!" After listening to the security guards' speech, Iris believed that Chase must have taken the one hundred thousand yuan, and then she wanted to kneel down in front of Chase to get the money back.
Chase frowned, but Hale helped Iris to get up and said thoughtfully, "Iris, what are you doing? He owes so much money already. He can't return it to you even if you kneel down for him. Therefore, the best way is to call the police and let the police deal with it."
Hale took out his phone and about to call the police.
Sean and Zeno both looked at Chase with a teasing smile.
Chase said he would call the police to investigate them, but Chase just didn't expect he would be taken away by the police instantly.
"No need to call the police. Come to my office, Chase and Iris."
At this time, Joel, who has been standing behind the crowd, suddenly said.
Joel was just about to go out to do something, but when he passed the security department's door, he found that Chase was also there. He came to have a look curiously. After listening for a while, he understood.
Iris saw Joel came; she could only follow him to his office.
Chase glanced at Hale and followed Joel to his office.
Hale looked at the back of three of them leaving; He frowned and returned to the security department's restroom.
In the restroom, Milne was leaning on a chair and smoking.
"Manager Milne, Mr. Joel called Chase and Iris to his office. I was about to call the police, but he stopped me." Hale looked at Milne and said.
