The Wrong Woman Chapter 994
Imogen spent the whole day at the job market, submitting numerous resumes, but heard nothing back.She graduated from a technical college with a degree in "Aircraft Maintenance Engineering and Management", a highly specialized field that no companies seemed interested in.Her dream was to work in the aerospace industry, but her qualifications were not enough. She was stuck between aiming too high and settling too low.Just as she was about to give up and go back to running her online store, an old classmate called."Imogen, let's meet up. A bunch of our high school friends are having a reunion."Just as she was about to decline, the caller added, "A lot of our classmates have become big bosses. They're doing great."Imogen thought networking was crucial for finding a job, so maybe her classmates could help her out. After some consideration, she agreed.Several men and women were gathered in the luxurious hotel suite of Phoenicia Grand Hotel. As Imogen walked into the room, she w

Imogen's classmate said, "We know you're happy now, Scarlett. You're pregnant and you will be a mom soon. Not only that, your husband is a manager at a big company. You're living a good life!"Imogen felt increasingly uncomfortable listening to them gloat at her expense, but she didn't say a word. She just sipped her drink, ate her food, and smiled when someone spoke to her.She had hoped to leverage her connections to get a job, but now she realized it was just wishful thinking. She was merely a joke for these old classmates to amuse themselves with.Imogen wanted to finish eating and leave as soon as possible, so she kept her head down to eat her meal.At that moment, Scarlett made an infuriating suggestion. She said, "Imogen just got married and didn't invite us to attend the ceremony. How about we treat this dinner as her wedding banquet, and the meal is on you?"The classmates quickly agreed, "Yeah, that's a great idea! We'll send you the money as a wedding gift later."Imog

"500. I'll give 500 too…"Suddenly, everyone eagerly took out their phones, ready to transfer the money to Imogen.Pulling her phone back, Imogen stood up and said, "You guys don't have to transfer anything. Your gift money can cover the cost of this meal."If it's not enough, whoever organized this gathering should make up the difference. I'm broke and can't pay a cent."With that, Imogen grabbed her bag and left. A few classmates panicked.Two female classmates who were somewhat closer to Imogen caught up with her in the hallway. They pulled her aside and said, "Imogen, the reunion isn't over yet. Leaving like this isn't appropriate."The other was defending Imogen. She said, "Scarlett did this on purpose. She's been targeting you all night. If you leave because you're humiliated by her, you're playing right into her hands.""Exactly. You shouldn't let them mock you like this."Imogen resigned. She said with a faint smile, "I appreciate your concern. Maybe I'm just not suitab
The Wrong Woman Chapter 997
Jasper's innate air of nobility and elegance was so striking that no one could associate him with being a mere salesman.Imogen walked up to Jasper and tugged at his sleeve. She said quietly, "Let's go." She couldn't bear to see her newlywed husband mocked by her group of tactless ex-classmates.Jasper seemed to understand Imogen's thoughts. He gracefully pulled out a chair for her and sat down beside her. All eyes remained glued to Jasper.One of their married classmates teased, "Imogen, I never expected your husband to be so handsome. You're really lucky!"Imogen forced an awkward smile."Your husband is way better looking than Ethan," another classmate said.Scarlett's face instantly darkened. She retorted unhappily, "No matter how handsome he is, he's still just a salesman showing people houses. How can he compare to Ethan?"At that moment, a male classmate became more animated. He chimed in, "Yeah. Looks aren't everything for a man. He needs ability, strength, wealth, and…

"Yeah. I had this wine stored here from a client event because we didn't finish it," Jasper said. Then, he picked up the wine in front of him. He glanced at it and set it down again.He continued, "I'm not used to this kind of wine."Devin sneered as he mocked, "You're not used to a wine that's worth 20 thousand? You must have had too much cider, right?"He thought Jasper was bluffing, so he was awaiting his downfall. Meanwhile, others were also snickering quietly. Just then, the hotel manager appeared, pushing a cart with a bottle of wine.With everyone's attention fixed on him, the manager carefully presented the bottle to Jasper.The manager asked, "Mr. Asher, shall I open it?" Jasper nodded. The manager expertly opened the bottle, creating a sense of ceremony. Everyone in the room was taken aback, staring wide-eyed at the bottle in the manager's hands.Imogen didn't drink alcohol and was unfamiliar with wine, so she didn't know its price. The only thing she knew was that th

"Mr. Asher, which sales office do you work at?"However, Jasper refused them all without hesitation. "I don't discuss business after hours. Sorry."A salesman refusing to add contacts and not talking business after work? Everyone was stunned, and even Imogen found it strange.But then she thought, maybe he was just standing up for her, not wanting to do business with her tactless old classmates. How admirable!Jasper took Imogen's hand and stood up. He said, "We live far away, so I'll take Imogen home to rest now. Enjoy yourselves."After that, he picked up her bag, slung it over his shoulder, and led her out. As he walked past the manager, he took the expensive wine with him.Some still couldn't believe what they had seen, so they followed them out. They confirmed that Jasper and Imogen indeed left with the 70 thousand dollar bottle of wine.To verify the discount, Devin quickly went to pay the bill. Unexpectedly, the hotel really did give them a 50% discount just as Jasper ins
The Wrong Woman Chapter 1000
Imogen knew that she was Jasper's wife, so holding hands with him was perfectly normal. Yet, she didn't understand why her heart was racing, leaving her flustered. She also instinctively pulled her hand away.To Jasper, her reaction was a blow to his pride. Jasper didn't say anything but slowly retracted his hand. He placed his hand on his thigh as he gazed out the window.Imogen lowered her head without saying anything because she was trying to calm her restless emotions.Back at home, Imogen walked in front of Jasper. After climbing to the eighth floor, they went inside the house to greet Imogen's parents.Imogen placed the bottle of wine in a corner before heading to her room.Jasper sat on the couch, loosened his tie, and watched Imogen move in and out of the room until she finally went into the bathroom to shower.Gregory walked out of his room in his pajamas."Dad," Jasper greeted politely as he sat up straight.Gregory sat down next to Jasper. He said, "You're back late

"Have you met that woman before?" Jasper asked. "We haven't seen her in person. Her parents handled the negotiations," Gregory answered.Jasper nodded in understanding upon hearing this. "Dad, everything is settled now. You should take some rest.""Okay, you should get to bed early too."With that, Gregory retreated to his room, leaving Jasper slumped on the sofa, closing his eyes to rest.Meanwhile, Imogen emerged from the bathroom and found Jasper reclined on the sofa, apparently asleep.Approaching quietly, she leaned down and whispered, "Ash, don't sleep here, you—"Before she could finish, Jasper opened his eyes.Imogen stood frozen, her eyes locked onto Jasper's profound gaze.His eyes shimmered with mystery and depth, their intensity captivating as he gazed into hers.Imogen nervously cleared her throat before advising, "You shouldn't stay here; you might catch a cold. Take a shower before heading to your room to sleep.""Imogen.""Yes?""Do you have any regrets?"
