Trouble in Paradise by Three Way

Chapter 0535

In Nicholas's mind, it seemed like I still loved him because I had his child.

I could clearly feel that from the moment I revealed that Tabitha was his daughter, he became much softer. "We're here," Douglas reminded me in a low voice, snapping me back to the present.

Today, I was meeting with Yasmine to finalize a share transfer agreement. After some small talk, Yasmine's expression turned serious.

"What's going on with this contract? When Douglas sent it to me, I was confused. Why don't you want the shares anymore?"

"I need to focus on some other businesses with Jones Corporation for now. Keeping my role as a partner at Jay Caldwell & Co. isn't convenient. Just tell everyone I've resigned."

'I can announce your resignation, but there's no need to sign this agreement."

Yasmine hesitated, her pen hovering over the paper, but I quickly found a reason to reassure her. I told her I would be back in a while, which got her to sign the contract reluctantly.

She didn't know about the events from the past few days-how I had been drugged by Christopher and fallen into a deep sleep. I feared that if something went wrong later, it might drag Jay Caldwell & Co. into it.
