Chapter 237:
Within just a few days, Briley had successfully entangled herself with Jacoby.
After all, while she might not have the allure of Rosalie, she was still quite attractive.
And with Briley taking the initiative, how could Jacoby, being the playboy that he was, possibly resist? However, this time when Jacoby summoned Briley, it wasn’t to seek solace in her arms.
Seeing Briley, Jacoby immediately approached her.
“Have you found out everything I asked? What exactly is Ashton’s background?” he demanded, cutting straight to the chase.
Jacoby’s tone was sharp, his patience wearing thin. While both Ashton and Rosalie were responsible for the current public relations disaster, Jacoby knew better than to provoke Rosalie. She was untouchable.
Instead, he had decided to channel all his frustrations toward Ashton.
If he couldn’t confront him directly, then Jacoby would resort to underhanded tactics.
One way or another, Jacoby was determined to make Ashton pay heavily for what he had done.
Jacoby, a trust-fund kid with wealth to spare, was someone Briley had managed to reel in with considerable effort.
Naturally, Briley dared not neglect any of his instructions. She smiled seductively, taking the initiative to throw herself into Jacoby’s arms. With a warm breath against his ear, she whispered, “The matter you asked me to handle—it’s all sorted. Ashton? I did some digging. He’s just a music teacher at Inewood University. The reason he’s close to Rosalie is that Rosalie’s sister happens to be his student p>
Hearing this, Jacoby let out a sigh of relief.
In his mind, Ashton had always carried himself with a confidence that suggested a powerful background, perhaps even more powerful than his own family. But now, learning that Ashton was just a simple man who relied on Rosalie’s wealth, Jacoby felt his tension ease considerably.

After a brief discussion in the office, they decided to waste no time and rushed to the entrance of Inewood University, intending to secretly observe Ashton and catch him off guard.
As luck would have it, not long after their arrival, they spotted Ashton and Selena walking out of the school together, laughing and chatting as if they hadn’t a care in the world. After bidding each other farewell, they each got into their respective cars.
Jacoby and Briley were elated by the opportunity and quickly began tailing Ashton’s car.
However, to avoid being noticed, they maintained a cautious distance.
Seeing that Ashton entered a mall on a bustling commercial street, they lingered near the entrance for a while before continuing their search for any sign of Ashton there.
Their careful efforts paid off, as Ashton didn’t seem to notice the two shady characters trailing him.
After parking his car in the underground lot, Ashton entered the mall and found a well-known jewelry store in Inewood, intending to purchase a gift.
