Chapter: 1042
“Wynter, that's actually a good idea. I'll find the right woman for Mr. Johnston." With newfound determination, Alick briskly walked away. He had a lot on his plate.
However, he was willing to take up the challenge. He knew he had to find a suitable candidate to help his boss move on.
Wynter frowned and called after him, "Well, Alick.. He turned around briefly, acknowledging her presence.
“I appreciate your advice. I'll keep it in mind. I owe you a dinner for this. We'll arrange it another day." Without looking back, Alick continued on his busy path, leaving Wynter disappointed.
She concealed her true emotions. She forced a smile even though her heart was broken. Meanwhile, Jaylen had returned home, but hadn't gone back to Faymoor yet. He felt the urgency to inform Camila about Isaac's attitude, so he dialed an international call to reach her.
As soon as the call got connected, he began to vent his frustration.
“Let me tell you something. Isaac is utterly heartless when it comes to love. Money is all he cares about. He has no regard for relationships or the meaning of life. He's nothing but a profit-driven businessman. Why did you even have children with such a man? Does he even deserve it?"
Camila remained silent on the other end of the line, absorbing Jaylen's words.
However, he couldn't contain his anger and continued his verbal assault on Isaac. The more he spoke, the harsher his words became. "You have no idea how despicable he is. He claims that any trouble occurring in Azmar has nothing to do with him. Despite being with you for so Long, he remains untouched by your love. Isaac is the most heartless, cold-blooded, volatile, petty, and vengeful man I've ever encountered. In short, he embodies every imaginable flaw..
“Jaylen, what on earth are you talking about? Huh?"
Before he could finish his tirade, a male voice interrupted from behind him.
The voice resonated with familiarity, causing Jaylen to stiffly turn around.
Standing not far away was the man who had spoken, his words filled with condemnation.
"In my humble opinion, individuals like yourself, who consistently engage in backbiting, malicious smearing, and slander, are far worse Wouldn't you agree? Mr. Johnston may have a fiery temper, but he undoubtedly possesses more humanity than you ever could!" Alick had every intention of following Isaac's instructions, but as he exited the company, he unexpectedly found himself bombarded by a string of disparaging remarks from Jaylen
The shock reverberated through him.
“Jaylen, you're a man! How can you descend into the depths of gossiping?" Alick questioned, disappointment tingeing his voice. "Do you know why your career pales in comparison to Mr. Johnston's?" "Why?" Jaylen inquired, almost involuntarily
Regret immediately flooded his expression.
Did his question imply his admission of inferiority to Isaac?
Before he could refute, Alick retorted, "Because you are tainted, ignorant, shameless, cunning, and devoid of integrity."
Struggling for breath, Jaylen found himself unable to find the right words for a rebuttal. "Alick, what are you implying?" he managed to utter.
“I'm merely returning the sentiments you expressed. You should introspect upon yourself. I have no time to waste with an idle person like you."
With that, Alick strode away, Leaving Jaylen in stunned silence.
Oh my goodness! Wait a second! Did I hang up?
It appeared that the call was still ongoing
Did Camila overhear everything?
