Chapter 2624: Spotting Her Amid the Sea of People at First Glance

Jasmine Yale never thought such a thing would happen.

How could this be.

"Looks like he still hasn’t trained you well." The man tightly grabbed her hand, "Since you’re working for him, you should know how to obey rather than resist. Why, are you not planning to follow me?"

"President Caddel, I don’t know what you’re talking about, you’ve had too much to drink and mistook me for someone else. My relationship with Vice CEO Caddel is purely professional; we’ve never discussed personal matters, and he never even mentioned you in front of me."

"My eldest son, he’s schemed against me, his own father. I have just two sons, and if he takes down his brother, he can seize all the Caddel Family’s power, have everything under our name. I just didn’t expect him to use this method against me. I admit, I’ve lost to him, and to you as well."

"President Caddel, I don’t understand what you’re saying. Your family’s matters have nothing to do with me; I’m just a company employee."

"No, you’re not just an employee; you’re a pawn in my eldest son’s hand. For years, I’ve wielded immense power. A word from me, Navy Caddel, and Kong Hong would tremble. Wealth, status, beautiful women, jewelry, whatever I desired was mine, yet for so many years, there’s been one thing I’ve never attained, eternally out of reach."

Navy Caddel looked at Jasmine Yale, beneath the golden-rimmed glasses, marked by wrinkles and years, his eyes were sharp yet muddled.

His expression was calm, but the words he spoke and the actions he took did not match his entire aura.

He held down Jasmine Yale, staring at her like he wanted to discern something from her face.

Jasmine Yale tried to pull her wrist free but dared not provoke him: "President Caddel, until today, I have never met you. I’m not a pawn of Vice CEO Caddel; I’m his secretary, an employee of ZR, and an employee of yours as well. I hope you understand."

"The first time I saw you was the day of the board meeting. I was sitting in the car and happened to see you; you were standing on the steps in front of the building, reaching out to the sunlight. At that moment, I felt time freeze; your appearance under the sun was so much like hers, just like when she was twenty, serene, gentle, unworldly. It was as if I suddenly returned to my youth."

Jasmine Yale felt dazed.

That day...

On that day she went to Oasis for a partnership... she indeed stood on the steps in front of the building.

But she didn’t know she had caught Navy Caddel’s eye.

Even after drinking heavily, she realized what Navy Caddel meant; he mistook her for his young love.

"That year, she was in Lonton, US attending an art exhibition, and I happened to be there too. Amidst the vast sea of people, I saw her at a glance, fell in love at first sight. Later, I met her briefly a few times, but never confessed my feelings, until she quietly left Lonton; I couldn’t find her again, only left with a single photo of her. She disappeared from my world, leaving me searching for many years, many years... I never forgot how she looked the first time we met, wearing a pale blue long dress, a wide-brimmed hat, looking at the sun, appearing exactly like you."

Jasmine Yale sneered, the corners of her mouth curled with mocking.

You couldn’t tell, but Navy Caddel turned out to be a romantic.

Under his glasses were eyes filled with passion.

She ruthlessly shattered his dream: "President Caddel, take a good look, I’m not her."
