?Chapter 1263:


    Corrine took a bite of the apple, its sweetness softening her features. “I’m going to pick up my uncle.”


    Now that everything had been cleared up, he no longer needed to be suspended for an investigation.


    As Jayden stepped outside, he looked up at the sky, a brief moment of confusion crossing his face.


    To be honest, he had braced himself for a long stay inside, never expecting to be set free so soon.


    The investigation team had originally gathered plenty of evidence, building a strong case against him that seemed impossible to ovee.


    Even though he was truly innocent, he knew it would be hard for anyone to believe him.


    Yet, in just three days, he had been cleared of all charges—something he never expected.


    “Mr. Ford, we apologize for any trouble caused these past few days. Please don’t hold it against us; we were just following protocol,” a staff member said nervously, standing beside Jayden with a forced smile.


    In a sh, Jayden’s expression returned to its usual cold and distant look. “I won’t, but can you tell me what evidence cleared me of the charges?”


    The staff exchanged uneasy nces, their faces showing a mix of difort. “Mr. Ford, it’s not that we don’t want to share, but there’s a rule against disclosing the evidence. Since you’re free now, wouldn’t it be better to just move on and forget about it?”


    Now that he was out, why dig into something that would only bring more trouble?


    Jayden understood their message and didn’t push the issue any further.

    Just then, a car horn sounded in the distance.


    He turned to see a ck Volkswagen pulling up and stopping nearby. Realizing there was no point in asking more questions, Jayden simply turned and walked away.


    Once inside the car, he let out a deep sigh, closed his eyes for a moment to rx, and then slowly opened them to look at Corrine. “Corrine, you’ve worked hard these past few days.”


    “It’s okay,” Corrine said. “Do you want to see Barry?”


    Jayden paused for a moment, his gaze lingering.


    “You should,” Corrine added. “You may not get another chance.”


    Jules, sitting in the driver’s seat, let out augh. “You went all out for him, just to end up with someone ungrateful. I’ve never seen you put so much effort into me.”


    Jules’ sudden outburst of jealousy made sense, though.


    When they found out that Jayden had used his connections to help Barry, even Corrine couldn’t help but question if this was really her upright uncle.
