After admiring the view, he pulled out Tanya’s phone and found Tiffany’s number. Then, he sent her a message: ‘Confess that you’ve plagiarized if you want Tanya back alive. I want the answer in the news by tomorrow.’
Tiffany leapt to her feet when she received the message. Alejandro stared at her calmly. “What’s wrong?”
Tiffany looked a little pale. “I can’t really explain… I’m afraid I have to go. I’ll buy you a meal again next time. Sorry!”
Alejandro frowned. “You can tell me, I’ll do my best to help you.”
Tiffany shook her head. “It’s fine. I don’t want to trouble you. We’ll talk later. I’ve got to go!”
She ran out of the restaurant, as swift as the wind. Alejandro shot Jett, who was next to him, a look. Jett understood and followed suit. “Miss Lane, I’ll drop you off!”
Tiffany did not refuse the offer. She did not drive today, and hailing a cab would waste time. Having Jett made it a lot more convenient. She knew who sent that message. Beckett was once Jackson’s employee, and Jackson was probably the only one who could help her now. She didn’t want to trouble Alejandro, an outsider.
Jackson leaped to his feet from his office chair. He snatched up his coat and rushed out the door. “I’m in the office. What happened?”
She gradually calmed herself. “Well… I think Tan’s met up with Beckett. Beckett used Tan’s phone to send me a message. He’s asked me to confess to plagiarizing his design, and if he doesn’t see the results in tomorrow’s paper, something will happen to Tan… I don’t know where they are. Beckett used to work for you, so you should have some knowledge of him. That’s why I’ve called you!”
Jackson was already hard-pressed over the plagiarizing incident. Now that this had happened, he was even more frustrated. “Stay there and don’t move. I’m picking you up, right now.”
