Chapter 2087
Carter sounded a little irritated. "Can you check the time before you call? Just because you don't have
a wife, do you think others don't as well?"
Keegan said inwardly, 'I do, and even two kids!'
He swallowed the urge to brag and cleared his throat before saying, "Hey, Carter. I'm sorry to disturb
you at this hour, but I need a favor."
Carter was puzzled at how polite Keegan was.
Then, he pursed his lips and asked, "What is it?"
"Can you hack into Lena's office system and help me check-"
Carter ended the call before Keegan could finish speaking. He called again, but it went straight to
voicemail.
Meanwhile, Carter shoved his phone into the drawer, not wanting to look at it at all.
Upon hearing the footsteps from the bathroom, he immediately unbuttoned his shirt, pulled back the
blanket, and slipped inside. Then, he grabbed a book from the table and pretended to read it.
After Lena dried her hair, she lifted the blanket and sat on the bed. Then, she picked up her phone to
check her messages.
Carter had no idea who she was texting, but she looked very committed when replying. She pondered
and smiled from time to time as her fingers rapidly tapped on the screen, completely ignoring the
person lying next to her.
He could not help but ask, "Are you texting someone in your team?"

Carter had a bad feeling and probed subtly, "What is it about?"
She put down her phone. "One of his friend's classmates committed suicide after getting framed. This
classmate has a twin sister who wants to find the real culprit to avenge her death, but she doesn’t have
Carter remained silent for a while. Then, he opened the drawer, took out his phone, and got out of bed.
Lena paused. "Where are you going?"
He replied gently, "I'm feeling a bit hungry, so I'm going downstairs to get something to eat. Do you
want some?"
"It's fine. Don't eat too much. It's bad for your stomach."
"Got it."
As soon as he got downstairs, he dialed Keegan's number with a stern face. Once the line connected,
he asked, "What nonsense did you tell my wife?"
Keegan said, "One of my friend's classmates..."
"Just shut up!" Carter cut him off. "Who do you want to investigate?"
Keegan quickly answered, "A case from six years ago. About the person who died from falling at The
Hox Club during the summer."
