The Wrong Woman

Chapter 1009

"How about I wash them instead?" Imogen said because she could see that Jasper wasn't good at housework, or perhaps he had no experience at all.

As she stepped into the kitchen, Jasper quickly put down what he was doing and pushed her toward the door.

He said firmly, "No, I said I'll do it, so I will do it well."

"Just be careful," Imogen said, a bit worried about him.

Jasper replied with a gentle smile, "Alright."

Imogen went to sit in the living room.

Jasper washed the dishes, cleaned up, and even wiped down the stove.

In the living room, Imogen was looking at her phone. Suddenly, she received a message from an old client, codenamed "Old Wolf."Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Old Wolf: "Imogen, there's an outsourcing project. Can you do it?"

Imogen: "What kind of project?"

Old Wolf sent a file labeled "Confidential". Upon opening it, she was shocked and looked at it for a long time.

Imogen: "I can do it. How much are you offering?"

Old Wolf: "Eight thousand."

Imogen: "25 thousand."

Old Wolf: "You're too greedy."

Imogen: "You and I both know what kind of project this is. If 25 thousand is too much, you can find someone else."

Old Wolf: "If anyone else could do it, I wouldn't be asking you."

Imogen then sent an emoji of a big, grinning face.

Old Wolf: "Deal. As usual, payment after project completion and approval."

Imogen: "Deal."

She immediately went to her room to take her laptop and place it on the coffee table. Sitting on the floor, she began to work, processing project data with intense focus.

Her screen was filled with strings of code, lines of data, and pages of programming. She was so engrossed that she didn't notice Jasper quietly crouching behind her and observing her.

Her fingers flew over the keyboard with practiced ease.

The more Jasper watched, the darker his expression became. He took out his phone and discreetly captured a photo of her screen.

Then, he put down his phone and sat down on the sofa. He calmly asked, "Imogen, what are you doing?"

Imogen was shocked. She quickly closed her laptop and turned to Jasper in a panic.

Jasper lightly sighed. He then leaned

in closer to Imogen and asked quietly may not understand all the code, but I recognise the software backend you were using. It's from the space agency."

Imogen was at a loss as she stood up. Then, she moved to the adjacent sofa. She gulped before nervously explaining, "I just took on some freelance work to earn extra money. I haven't done anything wrong."

Jasper's face darkened. "You're already breaking the law."

Imogen bit her lip as she was so nervous that her body tensed up. She looked at Jasper, wondering if he might report her.

Jasper said, "The person who leaked the space agency's project data to you is also breaking the law."

Imogen quickly put down her laptop and rushed to Jasper's side. Gripping his hand nervously, she said, "Jay, you won't report me, will you?" Jasper was stunned. He was speechless.

What does Imogen think of him? How could he report his own wife?

"I can't find a job right now, and I have no income. I just wanted to earn some extra money to help with the household expenses so that I can ease your financial burden. I don't want you to bear it all alone.

"I just want to make some money. I promise I won't do anything illegal. Jay, believe me, I really didn't..."
