Heart Hunting novel Chapter 91

Greg glances at the computer screen, only to see the clear photos of Jean.

He has a little understanding of this woman. It’s true that walking at night often leads to ghosts.

The ringing of the phone breaks the gloomy atmosphere of this moment. Poppy takes a look at the call indicator. She doesn’t plan to answer it.

“Is that Jean looking for you to help her?” Greg jokes.

An idea suddenly comes to Poppy. She smiles to him and says, “I heard that you are very good at dealing with lawsuit, but I haven’t really read your lesson.”

Poppy beats around the bush, and Greg doesn’t understand what she really means. He replies, “it’s my honor to get your appreciation.”

“Since you are here, then I’ll leave this case to you, so that I can also see how capable you are!”

Poppy makes a foxy smile with sinister light in her eyes.

What?

Greg suddenly becomes a little flustered. He’s not planing to take this hot potato at all.

Poppy ignores him and looks at her assistant. “Claire, did you have breakfast?”

“No.”

“Good.” Poppy picks up her bag and says, “the case is up to lawyer Greg. Let’s have breakfast together, Claire.”

“Poppy...lawyer Poppy!” Greg fail stopping her. Looking at the back of her leaving, Greg has nothing can do to her except sighing, “she really knows how to use resources!”

Sure enough, after Poppy left, Jean comes to the law firm with sunglasses, masks and hats.

Due to the photos and videos of her having sex on the forum, her life has been bothered a lot. She steps into the office with her high-heeled.

As soon as she enters in, the receptionist immediately pays attention to her. She focuses her eyes on Jean. She doesn’t know who this woman is until Jean takes off all the outfit.

She’s the protagonist of the hottest topic now. The topic tags of her has already become the top search on the internet this since this morning.

“I’m looking for lawyer Poppy.” She’s in a bad mood. And the thought that Poppy didn’t answer her phone makes her mood even worse.

“I’m sorry, Miss Barnes, but lawyer Poppy isn’t in the office now.”

“How coincident.” Jean frowns. She doesn’t really believe that. She continues to ask, “where’s she? Give her a phone call.”

“Lawyer Poppy is on a business trip with her assistant. They’ll be absent these days.”

At this time, Jeremy comes back from the outside. When he see Jean getting angry, he goes to her. “Miss Barnes, are you here for lawyer Poppy?”

Jean glances at him and asks, “is she hiding in her office?”

“Lawyer Poppy is really on a business trip.”

Jean thinks they’re both lying to her. With a cold hiss, she pushes away Jeremy and tries to break into Poppy’s office. “I have something really important. I have to find her, don’t stop me!”

“Miss Barnes, you can’t do that.” Jeremy follows behind her.

But they can’t stop Jean when she is crazy. She searches every room of Poppy’s office, but there is no any other people there.

“See? Miss Barnes, lawyer Poppy is really not here.”

Jean reaches out to pushes Jeremy away again. “She must be hiding in the office. Go away!”

She continues to push open the doors of other independent offices one by one. Arno hasn’t come back yet, so there’s also no one in his office. Jean keeps searching, until she breaks into Greg’s office at last.

Seeing Jeremy who comes in behind Jean with sweats on his forehead, Greg realizes what’s going on.

“A shrew is really a shrew. They always dare to show their nature everywhere.” Greg speaks sarcastically.

Jean didn’t expect to see him in the office. She takes a look at the sign on the door. “Lawyer Greg? Hum...how can you be a lawyer with no virtue?” Jean sneers with sarcasm.

“What’s wrong with my virtue? I get my lawyer’s qualification by passing the test. Unlike you, prostituting to get money from your dead husbands.” Greg is still smiling, but what he says really makes Jean get mad.

“Don’t sling mud at me! You know the law and you break it as a lawyer, be careful if I sue you for slander!” Jean is in a rage. Why do I have to meet this jerk here? The world is so narrow!

“Oh, really? Do you have time to sue me?” Greg says punningly, and the sarcasm in his eyes in very visible.

“You...you such a playboy would only lose the lawsuit even if you’re a lawyer! Let’s see who is so stupid to hire you as a defense lawyer!” In Jean’s opinion, those who often goes out for fun are definitely playboys. The idea of that a person like him can do nothing serious has solidified in her mind.

“Ha ha..” Greg laughs. “Well, even that, I’m better than you such a slut. You only know how to hook up with men.”

Greg continues, “just look at you, hook up with a gigolo? See what you get now. You think that all the men in the world like sluts like you? Oh, come on. Don’t be so stupid. Those guys like you just because you’re sluttish enough. They approach you for you money. Women over thirty are not attractive. Go away, don’t stink my office!”

Greg looks down upon the kind of women like her most. He keeps humiliating Jean.

And Jean looks terrible when she hears what he says. But she can’t find any word to fight back for a while.
