The Wrong Woman

Chapter 978



When Imogen saw Jasper's approaching car, she froze in shock and hesitated, uncertain about getting in.

Jasper courteously opened the door for her, a puzzled expression on his face. "What's wrong?"

"This car must be worth a fortune, right? If something happens to it, we can't afford the repairs," Imogen fretted anxiously.

Jasper was about to reassure her, but after some consideration, he replied, "It's fine. Just be careful."

Imogen nodded earnestly and settled into the car. During the drive, she provided Jasper with the address.

An hour later, they parked in front of a dilapidated building in the old city quarter. Imogen stepped out and waved at Jasper. "You should head back now. I'll see you at the city hall tomorrow."

Jasper leaned out of the car, returning her wave as he watched Imogen walk away. His gaze lingered on the dilapidated building ahead, a sense of melancholy settling within him.

Imogen climbed up to the eighth floor, her breath heavy and labored. Exhaustion consumed her. Living on the top floor without an elevator meant scaling eight flights of stairs daily, a task that drained her energy each time.
