NovelEnglishChapter 754:
Jareth had to admit that Alice certainly was ambitious and tactical. Getting involved with Verruckt this quickly
was something he hadn't anticipated. His curiosity only deepened as he replayed the image of Verruckt’s injured
lip in his mind. Unable to resist, he cornered Allison in the break room after leaving Verruckt's office.
“So, Alice, care to share what went down between you and Mr. Shaw last night?” he asked with a sly grin, leaning
casually against the counter.
Allison looked up from her coffee, her expression unreadable.
“Nothing happened,” she replied, her tone dismissive. “Mr. Williamson, you're too nosy.”
Jareth wasn’t deterred. He folded his arms, his grin widening. “Oh, really? Then how do you explain the mark on
his lip?”
Allison paused for a heartbeat, then answered, “It was an accident.” Her voice was calm, but her sharp eyes
hinted that she knew exactly what Jareth was implying.
After a brief hesitation, she added, “We just shared a few drinks. That's all.”

his head, his gaze turning more inquisitive. “Drinks? With Mr. Shaw? Funny, because I've never seen him drink.”
The remark caught Allison off guard, though she didn’t let it show. She quickly countered, “Maybe you don’t
know him as well as you think.”
She reasoned that Verruckt was far too cautious and sharp to drink without staying on high alert.
Jareth, however, was still unfazed. He rested his chin on one hand, his tone taking on a falsely benevolent edge.
“Alice, I'm only saying this because | care. I'd hate to see you miss out on an opportunity that could change your
life.” His smile was calculated, laced with an unspoken implication.
“You've noticed it, haven't you? You're important to Mr. Shaw. But if you insist on clinging to your... current
relationship, you might just let him slip away. Is that what you want?”
Allison's gaze sharpened as she studied him. “My current relationship?” she repeated, her tone neutral but
curious. “Are you suggesting | break up with my boyfriend?”
“Absolutely. Let's face it, your boyfriend's a nobody. He's broke, can’t even afford to spoil a girlfriend as stunning
as you, and, oh, here’s the kicker, he managed to—"
