A Night of Desire

Chapter 640: Chapter 637: She Is Unreconciled

Faye Jennings, who had seemed unconcerned at first, looked increasingly tense and panicked as the recording played.

She’d never imagined that Seth Quinn would have this recording!

"...You get right to the point, Miss. Since there’s money on the table, why wouldn’t we take the job, right? Don’t you worry. I’ll contact my guy tomorrow. We’ll make sure you’re satisfied."

The recording came to an abrupt halt after a thuggish-sounding man finished speaking.

Faye Jennings heard every word clearly. It was the conversation she’d had when she contacted those men. Her mind went completely blank. She had no idea... she had no idea they had actually recorded the call.

Aside from her shock, all Clara Grant could do was offer a bitter smile. ’Who knew my life was worth so much money?’

As for Sandra, she had always considered Faye Jennings a trustworthy person and had always been grateful to her. What she didn’t know was that the very person she believed had her best interests at heart was the one who had used and harmed her all along.

"Surprised? I found those men. This is a recording they happened to make during their call with you. So? Is this proof enough for you?"

Seth Quinn slammed the phone down on the coffee table. The sharp CLACK made Faye Jennings flinch violently.

She struggled to keep her trembling legs from giving out as she shook her head in panic. "No, that’s not me! They’re framing me! Yes, they’re framing me! They found someone to imitate my voice... Yes, that’s it! President Quinn, you have to believe me! You have to believe me, President Quinn..."

"So you won’t admit it until you’re staring at your own coffin, is that it? Fine. I can easily have someone analyze the voice on this recording to see if it’s yours. I can also have the recording itself authenticated. By then, it won’t matter how much you deny it, will it?"

Faye Jennings swayed, nearly collapsing. ’Analyze it? What was there to analyze? The recording was obviously real, and that was obviously her voice.’

"President Quinn, President Quinn, I was wrong! I wasn’t thinking straight. I don’t know what came over me. But I didn’t mean to do it. I really didn’t!

It’s just... I just heard Sandra had that thought, and in a moment of weakness, I did this terrible thing. President Quinn, please forgive me. Forgive me just this once, please."

As she spoke, Faye Jennings started to lunge at Seth Quinn from across the coffee table, but the coldness in his eyes stopped her dead in her tracks.

Seth Quinn pulled his own phone from his pocket and made a call. He spoke a single phrase into it—"Come in"—and a second later, the office door was pushed open. Chase Childs walked in, followed by two other men.

They walked straight toward Faye Jennings. Chase Childs gave his companions a look, and the two men seized Faye Jennings, one on each side.

Faye Jennings struggled weakly a few times. She knew it was over. This wasn’t just about being shelved, or even about being permanently blacklisted. She was going to prison!

But she couldn’t accept it. She refused to accept being sent to prison just like that.

’She hadn’t driven Clara Grant away from Seth Quinn’s side yet. She hadn’t had the chance to win Seth Quinn’s heart. How could she have lost so completely?’

A wave of despair washed over her. Faye Jennings’s large eyes filled with tears, which then began to stream down her cheeks.

"Seth Quinn, even if I did something wrong, it was because of you! Five years ago, from the moment you saved me, I fell in love with you. Five years... for five whole years, my love for you has been completely unrequited. Do you have any idea how much pain I’ve been in?"
