Chapter 807


































The other party's cars immediately surrounded them from all directions, but due to Jamie's excellent driving skills, they were able to take the lead. After driving into the city, he skillfully used the traffic lights at the intersection to successfully lose the other party who were at their tail. After he made sure that there were no cars chasing them anymore by looking in the rearview mirror, he reduced the speed and drove into an empty alley before stopping the car.

After going through a near-death experience, Narissa heaved a sigh of relief and joked as she smiled bitterly, "Since I'm lucky enough to survive this, I think I'll be lucky enough to survive anything in the future."

"Luckily, the cameras aren't damaged. We've hit the jackpot this time!" Jayden exclaimed as he checked the camera equipment.

Jamie, however, looked grim as he placed both hands on the steering wheel. He wasn't pleased about what had happened.

"You haven't told me what pictures you managed to get," Narissa leaned to the back and asked.

"Powder." Jayden looked nervous yet excited at the same time.

"Really?" She was surprised about it since the initial plan was just to collect evidence of illegal trading of beef. They weren't expecting to get something that exclusive.

As he spoke, he placed his hand on Jamie's shoulder. "President Keller, thank you for your help today. If not for your help, the whole thing would have gone unnoticed by the authorities."

"Take your hand off me," Jamie responded coldly.

Jayden's smile froze upon hearing that, but after realizing that he wasn't joking, Jayden immediately took his hands off him.

"What's wrong?" Narissa sensed that something wasn't right by looking at his expression.

Hearing that, Jamie glared at her, but he couldn't bring himself to reprimand her in the end. He then looked to the front and said, "How could you not do some investigation on it before attempting such a dangerous act?"

The atmosphere was tense.

"I'm sorry, it's my mistake," Jayden apologized earnestly.

"Huh." Jamie scoffed. "And you call yourself a professional reporter? You put your partner in danger by not doing a proper investigation before going."

Jamie's sarcastic remarks made Jayden look down shamefully.

To stop things from getting out of hand, Narissa tried to explain, "He shouldn't take all the blame since I'm the one who asked to tag along at the last minute. On top of that, no one wished for the incident to happen."

"You're still taking his side?" Jamie turned over and looked at her in disbelief. "If I hadn't turned up today, both of you would have been dead!" He was so infuriated that he didn't notice he'd raised his voice.

"Why are you raising your voice at me? Who am I to you? Why would it matter if I were dead?" Narissa raised her voice as well.

Both of them were as stubborn as a mule and refused to give in.

Jamie suddenly felt bad for scolding her and said, "It's all because of Boss. Do you think I like to meddle in your matters?"

"Don't meddle in my business, then. I don't need you to care for me just because of Elise. Since I'm an adult, I'll take full responsibility for my actions, so you don't have to be worried about me in the future."

She had been holding back these words for the longest time and was finally able to get it off her chest today. She had always felt that in his eyes, she was just Elise's stand-in. Now, she could finally be herself.

Jamie was speechless after hearing what she said and realized that he had said something wrong. He immediately tried to explain, "That's not what I mean. Boss is indeed an important person to me, but you're also my good friend too. I can't just sit back if anything happened to the both of you."

"Good friend?" Narissa uttered as she let out a bitter smile before looking at him coldly, "Thank you for thinking that highly of me, but relationships are a two-way street. Right now, I don't want to be your good friend."

"Narissa, I'm supposed to be the one that's furious right now, but why do you seem more worked up than me?" He furrowed his brows as he was frustrated that Narissa couldn't understand what he was trying to say.

"Am I getting worked up? I don't think so." She glanced at him disappointedly. "Jamie, do you know that you're a hypocrite? You've always said that El is significant to you, but she hasn't been back for more than a month. Meanwhile, have you ever planned on going to look for her?"

"How would I not, I.."

"You don't have to explain it to me. The answer doesn't matter now as it has nothing to do with me anymore."

Before Jamie could respond, she immediately turned over at Jayden and said, "Let's go." She opened the car door and got out of the car before slamming the door shut. Jamie was left alone inside the vehicle.
