Dominant Boss: Call Me Hubby, My Dear novel Chapter 196

It was somehow quiet as if there was only the sound of Jeanne's heart beating.

She closed her eyes tightly and took the initiative to deepen the kiss.

There was no harm anyway.

After a long time, Jeanne and Edward let go of each other.

The room was still very quiet.

Jeanne rested her hands on the headboard of the bed and maintained some distance from Fourth Master Swan even though they had stopped kissing.

She saw that Fourth Master Swan's lips were stained with a sparkling luster.

Jeanne asked, "Fourth Master, can you return the phone to me now?"

"Yes," Fourth Master Swan replied.

It was just a simple word, but Jeanne picked up a hint of hoarseness in his voice.

It was as if he was enduring something.

Jeanne stretched out her hand again and grabbed Fourth Master Swan's hand. Then, she gently opened his slender fingers and took her phone back.

At that moment, she felt as if she had accomplished a great thing in her life and heaved a huge sigh of relief.

She left from the bedside.

Fourth Master Swan looked at her.

"Fourth Master, I'm leaving." It was as if Jeanne had no lingering feelings after achieving her wish.

Fourth Master Swan did not answer her.

Jeanne left directly.

When she left, she suddenly saw Nox and Teddy standing at the door.

She instantly looked a little irritated.

"I didn't see anything," Nox hurriedly said.

Teddy also hurriedly said, "Me neither."

They gave themselves away by concealing the truth.

Jeanne gritted her teeth and left immediately.

Nox and Teddy watched Jeanne leave before they walked into Edward's room.

Edward was lying on the bed emotionlessly.

At least, Teddy could not see through him.

Of course, Nox could tell at a glance, but he did not expose Edward. He said with a serious expression, "We have news about Kingsley."

Edward's expression obviously changed slightly.

Nox continued, "Kingsley's background is very powerful, but we don't know what exactly his background is. We only know that he's very famous in the high-class socialite circles abroad. Many people know Kingsley, but no one can tell what he does. They only know that he's very rich, and whenever he appears, he's very generous. The most famous thing was that at an auction, he spent a billion dollars to buy a long-lost royal painting of

Harken. The most important thing was that he paid in cash!"

Edward's eyes moved slightly.

At this moment, Nox could not help but exclaim, "F*ck, a billion dollars in cash. Was there a truckload of notes? It sounds so f*cking pretentious!"

"Is there anything else?" Edward did not seem to be very interested in that.

'He can't be someone from that side, can he?!

'If he is...'

Nox's heart trembled.

'Wouldn't Fourth Master Swan's relationship be ruined halfway?!'

Jeanne returned to the Lawrences' manor.

George was seriously helping her hack the internal networks of the two companies.

At this moment, he had successfully hacked into one of them and was looking for their accounting data.

Jeanne did not disturb George. She sat on the chair at the side and called Kingsley. "I've found the key person in my case."

"Who?"

"Luna Walker, also known as Lunetta Walker. She's the secretary-general of the Lawrence Enterprise's secretarial office and has an affair with Adrian Zimmer, the chief engineer of the construction department. She was the one who drew up the contract for the tender of the Lawrence Enterprise's logistics warehouse. From what I saw, it was almost the same style as that of the dual contract. In other words, that dual contract was drawn up by Luna. Therefore, we can now confirm that Luna is one of the participants in this case."

"Mm," Kingsley responded. He was more or less satisfied with Jeanne's result today.

"1'11 arrange for people to investigate," Kingsley said.

"Secondly, Adrian reported me while Luna drafted the contract. If it can be proven that the two of them have been secretly colluding, it'll show that they're the ones behind this. In other words, Adrian is the one who's involved, while I may be the victim or the collaborator. Harken's law is reverse authentication. In other words, if something isn't established, one can't be sentenced. In this way, at least in four days, I won't be sentenced immediately. In other words, I can buy myself more time to investigate this case in depth."

At the end of the day, nothing was flawless. Justice would ultimately prevail.

Jeanne sneered.

This time, she wanted to catch the culprit behind the scenes’
