The Wrong Woman

Chapter 1062

"Will your mom be okay with this?" Jasper asked, his expression tinged with concern. Imogen hesitated, not wanting to spoil the moment so soon. "I don't think she'll mind."

A tender smile spread across Jasper's lips against the backdrop of the romantic, tranquil night. Unable to resist, he gently wrapped his arm around Imogen's shoulder and leaned in to kiss her.

Imogen closed her eyes nervously, her lips slightly parting in anticipation.

Just as Jasper was about to kiss her, his phone suddenly rang.Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

Startled, Imogen opened her eyes.

Jasper frowned, impatiently retrieving his phone to glance at the caller ID.

Upon seeing Yulia's name, he swiftly declined the call.

As Imogen noticed Yulia's name on the screen, a shadow passed over her expression. Despite this, she pretended not to notice, her lips tightening slightly as she looked up at the moon.

After rejecting the call, Jasper quickly set his phone down. He had hoped to pick up where they left off, but the romantic mood had slipped away. "Are you feeling cold?" Jasper asked softly, his throat tightening with concern.

"I'm fine," Imogen replied, a faint smile playing on her lips.

"This place" Jasper began, but he was suddenly interrupted by another incoming call on his phone.

Letting out a sigh, Jasper reached for his phone and promptly dismissed the call.

Imogen maintained a composed demeanor as she spoke calmly, "It's okay. Feel free to answer."

Jasper replied nonchalantly. "It's not urgent. It was just a call from one of my business partners."

Imogen had heard of Yulia before, primarily through online sources.

Known as the granddaughter of wealthy tycoon Oakley Gibson, she was mainly recognized as a social media influencer.

Could someone like her truly be a credible business partner for a major corporation?

Despite her unfamiliarity with business matters, Imogen was discerning.

She couldn't shake the feeling that Jasper wasn’t being entirely transparent, suspecting he was deliberately withholding information from her.

Imogen's decision not to probe further didn’t stem from indifference. Rather, she lacked the confidence to openly express her concerns.

Shortly after, Yulia's call came for the third time.

Jasper was on the verge of dismissing the call when Imogen interjected, "You should take it. It's late, there might be something important she needs to discuss with you." 

Imogen's suggestion prompted Jasper to rethink his decision. If he continued to ignore Yulia's call, she would only disrupt their evening further.

With the phone ringing insistently, Jasper eventually opted to answer it. He raised the phone to his ear and greeted, "Hello."

On the other end of the line, Yulia's voice trembled. "Jay, please… help me… I don't want to die…"

Upon hearing this, Jasper's expression turned grave. He swiftly stood up and headed toward a nearby spot.

Glancing back at Imogen, he noticed her calmly gazing at the stars above.

Jasper asked, "What's going on?"

"I'm overwhelmed by depression!" Yulia cried out, her voice shaking. "I couldn't bear it any longer and tried to slit my wrists. Now I'm losing a lot of blood, and I'm feeling dizzy and faint. I regret it. Please, come save me! I don't want to die…" 

Letting out a sigh of frustration, Jasper responded sharply, "Ms. Gibson, if you had the time and determination to call my number three times, why didn't you contact the police or fire department instead? They could have gotten you urgent medical attention at the hospital." 

Yulia sobbed, "I trust no one but you. Jay, I'm in agony! Please, save me. I'm begging you…"

Jasper's voice turned serious. "Where are you right now? Send me your location."

In a burst of urgency, Yulia swiftly shared the hotel's address and asked, "Are you coming over now?"

Jasper instructed calmly, "Wrap your wrist with gauze and wait a few more minutes. I'll be there soon."

Moved by his words, Yulia tearfully exclaimed, "Jay, I knew you wouldn’t simply abandon me."

With that, Jasper ended the call and immediately called emergency services.

After alerting both the police and the hospital, he turned off his phone.
