Everyone was shocked and could not believe it. Mary herself was also quite surprised and flabbergasted.
After her parents divorced, her mother Diana had not contacted her for twelve years.
And now she suddenly appeared. Did she want to take Mary back in to live a good life?
No matter what happened, Mary wanted to go and take a look.
"Okay, I'll leave with you." Mary nodded, picked up her handbag lying at the side and was about to leave with Jayce Hall.
Jayce's gaze fell on John.
He reached out and grabbed Mary's hand. He lowered his head and asked her gently, "Did he hurt you?"
Jayce's eyes were as sharp as a knife. He instantly felt that something was wrong.
Mary turned around and looked at John. A strange smile flashed in her eyes.
John thought that he had seen it incorrectly, but before he could explain himself, he heard Mary say, "Yes, he's been harassing me recently. It's very annoying. He even asked me to sleep with him!"
As soon as she said that, the entire office was so quiet that even a pin drop could be heard.
It was true that John was an old pervert, but who would say such dirty things out loud?
John took a deep breath and immediately shouted with a red face and red neck, "She framed me! She framed me! I didn't say those things! Why would I like her?"
Jayce was expressionless. The assistant behind him stepped forward and gave John a slap!
John was stunned.
The assistant said, "Where did you come from? How dare you harass our Lady? How dare you complain! You're going to jail! Men, take him away first!"
The two men in black immediately stepped forward and covered John's mouth.
Jayce touched Mary's head with his other hand. "Don't worry, your big brother will help you take revenge. He won't have a good ending."
Should she be worried about the methods of the rich?
No, Mary was very relieved.
She smiled and let Jayce take her out of the publishing house.
When she got into the car, the whole office became noisy.
"Oh my God, has a sparrow become a phoenix?"
"I really regret that my relationship with her isn't better..."
"What's the use of regretting now? I'm afraid she won't come back to work tomorrow..."
In the Pagani, Mary finally believed Jayce after he explained her mother's new marriage.
It seemed that her mother Diana, really got married again.
Not only did she get married again, but she also found a rich stepfather for her!
If it was a year ago, Mary would have been very happy because she would have been able to enjoy life for the rest of her life without doing anything.
But now, her life had its own direction.
She was a CIA agent with a secret identity. On the surface, her appearance was normal, but in reality, she had many secrets...
"Did my mother send you to pick me up?"
She had not seen her mother for twelve years. She did not know what her mother looked like.
Although Diana had not taken care of her for so many years, Mary did not hate her in her heart.
"Yes. She misses you very much. I heard from my father that they went back to Green Grid town to look for you after they fell in love, but your father said that you went to New York University at the age of 16 and had left your hometown."
"I heard that you have an aunt in New York. They went to your aunt's house and your university, but they could not find you, so I had to investigate."
Jayce lowered his head and looked at Mary. There was a smile at the corner of his lips, and his eyes were filled with gentleness, "I didn't expect my sister to be a genius scholar. You've skipped several grades since you were young, and only took two years to finish all your college credits. You worked as a social worker when you were only 18, and now you're 19. But I'm a little surprised. How did you fall for this lousy job at a publishing house?"
Because her resume was fake, the publishing house thought she was just a 22-year-old woman who graduated from a third-rate university.
Mary smiled brilliantly and put on the glasses that Jayce had taken off of her earlier.
"There's no hierarchy in the job. I dreamed of being an editor when I was in high school, and now it's come true."
Really?
Jayce obviously didn't believe it.
So, he studied Mary all the way and soon arrived at Hall's house.
