Heart Hunting novel Chapter 103

Standing at the gate, Arno looks calm and gentle in a warm blue suit, bathed in sunlight, and warm and attractive with a big smile, as comfy as the spring breeze.

Alas. It’s him!

"Mrs. Murphy, good morning!” Arno moves forward and greets her first.

Mrs. Murphy senses insecurity—the man is much better than her son in any aspect!

"Morning!” She responds casually. Seeing that he takes the luggage and opens the car door for Poppy, she wonders whether Kenny knows Poppy is leaving today.

"Mrs. Murphy, see you!” Poppy says to her before getting in the car.

"Take care!” Mrs. Murphy is absent-minded, watching the car drive away slowly.

Her face creases. Crap! It’s indeed a strong opponent. How stupid her son is! He’s still sleeping when his wife-to-be is stolen by another man. Therefore, she goes back to the house immediately and finds her son upstairs.

She pushes the door and walks in directly, shouting, "Kenny, Poppy has been taken away. Why are you still asleep? You need to have a sense of crisis. Obviously, that man is a fierce enemy, handsome and gentle, much better than you.”

Her voice is like an alarm clock and wakes Kenny up at once. But he was in a fast sleep just now, not hearing her words clearly. He turns over and gets into the cover. "Mom, can you leave me alone? I worked overtime last night and stayed up late…”

"You don’t want your future wife, do you?” Mrs. Murphy is disappointed and throws the quilt away.

"What wife? What happens to my little minx?” He reacts until now.

She glares at him with arms akimbo. "Poppy has been taken away by a man, the boss of the law firm. He obviously has a crush on Poppy!”

On the other side, Arno takes the initiative to say, "A few days ago, Jean couldn’t find you and made a fuss in the office. But Greg handled it well.”

"Unexpectedly, he’s brilliant, able to handle nasty women like Jean.” Poppy hasn’t expected that the man, who looks lazy, can hold Jean.

"Everything has its vanquisher. Although she has found another lawyer to handle that case, you should keep alert.” Arno reminds her discreetly.

"Why?” Poppy asks and looks at him.

He looks serious and replies in a calm tone, "The Greens is bumpy recently. The recent crisis is actually related to you.”

Poppy has sharp eyes and sneers but looks calm. "It doesn’t matter. Anyway, it’s almost time to pull out the net. They’ll know I’m back sooner or later.”

Listening to her, Arno can’t help but glance at her, and his worries remain unabated.

In the parking lot of the MD building, Poppy gets out of the car and pulls her luggage toward her car.

Claire has already been waiting for her. Seeing Poppy show up, she moves forward immediately. "Lawyer Poppy, good morning!”

Poppy nods and says, when she sees Arno following, "I won’t go upstairs. Claire and I go to the Navi Company directly.”

"Why in a rush?”

"Well, I have a new discovery and I need to know more about the case and the plaintiff.”

"Alright, take care.” Until after seeing them off, Arno steps toward the elevator.

Poppy takes her assistant to the Navi Company and receives a lot of attention on her way. Indifferent as she is, Poppy never cares about others’ stares.

Many employees in the company don’t know who she is, wondering when a beauty joins the company.

After she passes the logistics, several people can’t help but gossip. "Check out that lady. She’s gorgeous.”

"Is she from the PR department?”
