Chapter 180
When he rushed to Grand Asia, Grayson was seen holding a thick folder while waiting for him in the president's office.
"Show it to me," Jay ordered eagerly as soon as he took his seat.
Grayson stepped forward and poured out all the contents from the folder.
There was a stack of photos.
Some letters.
Several drawings.
A few CDs!
When Jay saw the creative earth-tone rose painting, his lucid and sparkling pupils suddenly turned crimson.
This was Angelina's painting. She had a crush on him and would always send him roses. Later, she discovered that the roses always withered, hence she began painting roses for him instead. Earth tone was his favorite tone, hence she made alterations and replaced the crimson color of the red roses.
"I asked you to perform a background check on Rose, didn't I? What are these?" Jay questioned in a hoarse voice.
Grayson explained. "These things belong to the late M s. Severe."
Jay said painfully, "I know that. I'm asking you why are they here now?"
Grayson replied, "Don't be anxious, Mr. Ares. Be patient and listen to what I'm about to tell you."
Jay suppressed the surging and undulating emotions in his heart and calmed himself down.
Grayson explained. "When we were performing background checks on Rose, we realized that she has something to do with Ms. Severe."
Jay was thunderstruck by the revelation. It felt like his head had exploded and split into pieces.
How could there be such a coincidence?
"Continue." His eagle eyes were filled with a great deal of consternation. His eyes were locked on Grayson's face like magnets, afraid that he would miss out on the minutest details in his message. "When we searched Rose's files, we realized that her records ended seven years ago. This is extremely unusual, so I commissioned several private investigation companies to find out about Rose's whereabouts during those seven years and discovered an astounding secret-"
At this point, Grayson feared that he was unable to express it in detail, hence he simply picked up one of the CDs and said, "Watch this and everything will
make sense to you, Mr. Ares."
Jay nodded. Grayson inserted the CD into the DVD player. When the scenes projected on the wall before them, the red car on the screen captured Jay's attention at once. That was Angelina's car!
Through the windscreen, he saw Angelina's vivid appearance.
Her exquisite facial features were that of a porcelain doll. Her long straight, soft black hair and her bangs made her look as pure as an untainted fairy. 1
The car was driving on the expressway from Swallow City toward Imperial Capital. Judging from the scenery around her, he was able to pinpoint Angeline's location. She was almost at the toll gate. At this moment, however, a person's silhouette appeared on the neat and clean picture.
Jay's pupils contracted abruptly. "Rose?"
Grayson nodded emotionally and reminded. "Keep watching, Mr. Ares!"
Jay's eyes hovered between Angeline and Rose, finding an astonishing similarity between the two.
