Ashley felt the tension in the air as Jack walked into the office. He could feel that something was bothering Jack, though he had no idea what exactly was going on. Carefully, Ashley approached Jack's desk and asked in a gentle tone, "What's wrong, Jack? You look a bit disheveled."Jack shook his head, trying to smile as if everything was fine. "It's okay, Ashley. I just have a few things to take care of today."However, Ashley was not so easily fooled by that fake smile. He knows Jack more than he shows. "Fine, but if there's anything I can help you with, you know where I belong."Jack appreciated Ashley's concern, but he didn't want to bring personal matters into the office. "Sure, thanks, Ashley. You can take care of the office for a while. I have to be away for a bit."Ashley nodded, knowing that she couldn't push Jack any further to speak if Jack didn't want to. However, before Jack left, he couldn't help but ask again, "Oh yes Jack, I heard the news about you and Diana breaking

The office is brightly lit by the soft morning sun, creating a warm and inspiring atmosphere. He felt on top of the world, with his steps towards success getting steadily more steady.Last night, Jack had received a system notification which made him quite happy.Ding![User Jack Ashworth's first mission progress has increased. Days left: 25.]Even though time is tight, Jack is confident he can overcome everything and successfully complete his first mission from the system. The Hawthorne family were destroying themselves because of Gordon's stupidity, so it was so easy to take everything. Jack smiled faintly, remembering how he grudged himself against the Hawthorne family for letting his mother die in agony after serving as their maid for decades. Jack c

Jack felt a little relieved. "Thank you, Ashley and Brandon. Looks like your help is really needed."Brandon nodded with a smile. "I'm glad I could help. Let's sit down and discuss the situation in more depth."Jack and Ashley sat in a quiet room, where the dim lights created a mysterious atmosphere. The sound of pauses between words became more and more significant in the room. Ashley sat tensely, examining Brandon's expression as the police gave him a summary of Jack's investigation. Brandon seemed to be resolutely focusing his attention on every detail the police described, his hand gently stroking his chin as he fell into deep thought.After the cop finished speaking, Brandon nodded seriously and his eyes shifted to Jack. "Now I need some time to talk to Jack before the interrogation begins," Brandon said.Brandon then went into the room where Ashley and Jack were sitting. He then sat down across from Jack and with solicitous eyes he asked, “what the heck is going on, Jack?”Jack

Within such an elegant room, a festive atmosphere filled the air. The Hawthorne family room was filled with warm light from the crystal chandelier hanging above it. Luxurious furniture is neatly spread around the room, inviting the members of this family to live in.

Not long after Ashley left the room, she returned with a face full of anxiety. Jack raised an eyebrow, feeling something was wrong. "What's wrong, Ashley?" he asked.Ashley bit her lip for a moment before picking up the TV remote and turning it on. "You should see this, Jack," she said, turning Jack's attention to the TV screen that had just turned on.The news was on, and Jack felt his pulse quicken when he saw Diana Buchanan's face in the press conference. "Diana Buchanan stood up for you," Ashley said in a shaky voice.Jack focused his eyes on the screen, dumbfounded by what he saw and heard.

Her face was serious and determined, reflecting her determination to stand up for Jack Ashworth."Alright, I want to state the facts," Diana said in a calm but firm voice.
