Chapter 387: Chapter 387: Absolutely Unforgivable
Not saying these words makes him feel uncomfortable.
So he might as well just spit it out.
He continued, "The police profession, to me, is honorable and supreme, but today I saw disgusting dust in this beam of light."
"And I feel like I’ve become the dust in this beam of light, so to be honest, it feels quite upsetting."
"What’s even more ridiculous is that I’m actually thinking of using my tiny bit of power to change this status quo..."
As he spoke, Jensen Hayes’ throat started to dry up.
He lowered his gaze and said, "Sorry for letting you see me like this."
Ariana Grant had no idea what to say.
This was the first time she met someone like this.
Because he was so clean to the point of being transparent, even a little dust would make him very uncomfortable.
She thought, Jensen Hayes’ family must have protected him very well.
That’s why he couldn’t accept this world.
Couldn’t accept that he took Daniel Lynch away by pulling strings either.
Her mind was not very sharp, so she simply looked at Ashley Shaw, waiting for Ashley Shaw to speak up.
Ashley Shaw said, "Some people are forced to conform to this world, but there will always be people who want to change this world. No matter how small the power is, as long as there is effort, there is hope."
Jensen Hayes paused slightly, looking at her eyes, which seemed to shine.
"Don’t you find me pretentious? I’ve told others about my ideals before, and they laughed at me... saying I’m too immature."
Ashley Shaw shook her head seriously and said, "I think your ideals are great and impressive. I admire you."
"There aren’t many people with ideals to change the world these days. Perhaps you might actually achieve it? Even if you can’t change the whole world, you can change the small world around you."
"And even if you can’t do it, maybe you’ll subliminally influence others. In this way, you won’t only have your own power but become part of thousands of powers. With so many forces converging together, why fear not realizing your ideals?"
At this point, Ashley Shaw changed her tone and said, "You think you’re corrupt for pulling strings today, just like them. But actually, that’s not the case. What’s wrong with properly using resources to achieve the goal of changing the world? The world isn’t just black and white; the process isn’t important, the results are. Look, isn’t the bad guy taken away?"
Jensen Hayes was completely astonished.
No one had ever told him such words.
—The world isn’t just black and white; the process isn’t important, the results are.
These words instantly enlightened him, though not entirely clear about what he understood, he seemed to have reconciled with himself and gradually figured out how to walk that path he wanted in the future.
Because he was too excited, Jensen Hayes suddenly forgot the rule about keeping a distance between men and women, grabbed Ashley Shaw’s hand, and pressed it tightly against his chest.
"Thank you, Ashley, you said it so well, really so well!"
As he spoke, his eyes became red.
Ashley Shaw was a bit surprised.
This Jensen Hayes... truly had a burning heart.
She and Ariana Grant also had the same thought.
The Hayes Family must have protected Jensen Hayes very well, and The Hayes Family must be very good to nurture such a sincere and pure person.
Because of this momentary distraction, Ashley Shaw forgot to pull back her hand.
And in just these two seconds, this scene was captured by a phone camera not far away.
The one taking the photo wasn’t someone else, it was Rosalind Lynch.
In the end, she didn’t successfully negotiate with Warren Prescott, didn’t dare go home, and followed the director Zeke Jennings to his house in Westcroft.
As a result, Gavin Lynch was searching the world for her, she had no choice but to follow director Zeke Jennings and fly overnight to Aethelgard.
Upon reaching Aethelgard, she found out that Zeke Jennings already had a fiancée.
Regret was useless at that moment, she could only bear it and, as Zeke Jennings said, find a hotel to stay at temporarily until he found her a house to move into.
Fortunately, she hadn’t handed herself over yet, so it wasn’t a loss.
Coming to Aethelgard, she could totally find someone better than Zeke Jennings.
Zeke Jennings was just a stepping stone to her, so she wasn’t very angry.
But because Gavin Lynch had blocked all her cards and Zeke Jennings didn’t give much money, she didn’t know how long to stay in the hotel, so she could only find a decent-looking and affordable hotel.
Unexpectedly, she ran into Ashley Shaw here.
More coincidentally, she caught Ashley Shaw tugging with a man.
The man seemed to look very nice, had a good build, and from appearance alone, had better conditions than Zeke Jennings a thousand times over.
This made Rosalind Lynch very upset.
Why can Ashley Shaw find such a good man casually, while she could only find someone like Zeke Jennings?
However, upon closer inspection, the man was impeccably handsome but seemed not very wealthy, wearing ordinary clothes.
He seemed to be just an ordinary person who was good-looking.
Upon realizing this, the feeling of imbalance in Rosalind Lynch’s heart completely vanished.
Used to pampering herself, she realized only after Gavin Lynch’s drastic change in character that only money was the best, the only reliable option in this world.
No matter how handsome, without money, it’s useless.
Rosalind Lynch clicked to take the photo and quickly hid behind a column.
Soon, the man let go of Ashley Shaw’s hand and spoke to her.
Ashley Shaw smiled slightly, and the three started walking towards the elevator.
Rosalind Lynch showed a teasing look in her eyes.
She thought Ashley Shaw was pure, but now it seemed she wasn’t very virtuous.
She probably hadn’t been in Aethelgard long, yet she was staying at a hotel with another man.
What she couldn’t understand was, with someone like Warren Prescott, how could she still fancy others?
No matter how handsome this guy was, he didn’t have Warren Prescott’s wealth.
Perhaps Ashley Shaw was born to be a harlot, one wasn’t enough, she still needed another.
Thinking about it this way, the earlier rumors circulating about Cillian Xavier and Ashley Shaw having a fling weren’t entirely unfounded.
Rosalind Lynch grew more infuriated as she thought, and she felt sorry for Warren Prescott.
To prefer someone worthless and fickle over her.
Angry, Rosalind Lynch pulled out Warren Prescott’s WeChat and sent him the photo she just secretly took.
But when the photo was sent, a red dot appeared.
She had already been blocked by Warren Prescott on WeChat.
Her face turned pale, embarrassed, and angry.
Warren Prescott had already blocked her phone number, and now even WeChat, leaving her unable to find a channel to send this photo to him temporarily.
But she quickly calmed down.
There’s always time; she couldn’t believe that Ashley Shaw could blatantly come to a room with other men, and Warren Prescott would never notice.
Moreover, while this photo seemed intimate, it wasn’t explosive enough.
She needed more evidence.
With Warren Prescott’s personality, once he saw something even more explosive, he definitely wouldn’t forgive Ashley Shaw.
