Jolene was really taken aback.
She hadn’t expected Viona to call Bowen.
But the call had already been made, and it was hard for her to stop Viona, so she could only listen to Viona saying to Bowen, “I know Karry very well, or should I be a lobbyist?”
Jolene didn’t know what Bowen said on the other end of the phone, so Viona hesitated to speak.
After a while, Viona hung up the phone.
She looked at Jolene and said apologetically, “Bowen had a social event at noon, so telling me too much detail was inconvenient. I’ll talk to him when I see him at night…”

Jolene calculated the accounts while walking home, and her head was dizzy.

She rested for a while, then continued.

She looked up to see the road, but her eyes went dark, and her head felt as heavy as a shot put…
With a bang, she fell onto the road.
After she regained consciousness, someone had called an ambulance for her. She didn’t want to go, but they also had good intentions. Besides, the ambulance had also arrived, so she had to follow along.
