Chapter 1456 Investigate The Child
Scarlette said, “Genevieve accompanied me to a brand event a few days ago. I saw her effortlessly take down a man who was almost two meters tall.”
“Her brother, Cooper, is dating Sally,” said Zander.
Scarlette had only recently returned to the country yet had already heard about Sally.
Sally's father was the military commanding officer of Jadeborough. She was a top female special forces soldier who graduated from the military academy, occasionally escorting important officials abroad for negotiations.
No wonder Genevieve was so skilled at fighting. It was all due to Sally's teachings.
Scarlette furrowed her brows and said, “Genevieve is cautious and skilled at fighting. Trying to get a sample of her blood is like attempting the impossible.”
Before Scarlette found Armand, it wasn't by chance that Genevieve ran into Zander at the hot spring in the holiday resort. It was a deliberate move by Zander. However, at that time, he didn't succeed.
Later, Scarlette faked an encounter with Genevieve at the pottery shop. She secretly tried to injure Genevieve, but to her surprise, Genevieve reacted so quickly that she didn't get hurt at all.
This time, Genevieve cut her hand while chopping vegetables, but Scarlette couldn't get hold of the blood-stained handkerchief too.
“If we can't get it, then forget it. Armand has sharp eyes, don't let him notice anything,” said Zander. “The boss will arrange for someone else to come to Jadeborough. That person will watch Genevieve while we handle another matter.”
“What is it?” Scarlette asked.
Roughly two minutes later, Zander sent a few photos to Scarlette. After Scarlette saw the person in the pictures, she narrowed her eyes slightly.
Zander said, “The boss didn't give me the details about the man, but I know the woman in the picture. Her name is Johanna. We were in the same class in high school. She got along well with Genevieve. Later, she got together with Timothy, Chairman of Forlisle Medical. I think they have a daughter together. As for this man, I'm not sure what his relationship is with Johanna, but judging by Johanna's belly, she seems to be pregnant. The boss wants us to investigate this child.”
“The boss said to investigate if we can, but don't attract any attention,” added Zander.
Scarlette hummed in response.
After finishing her cigarette, Scarlette ended her conversation with Zander over the phone. She tossed the cigarette butt on the ground and stamped it out. Then she focused on the photos she had been looking at.
She met Zander at a gathering for international students, but they weren't particularly close.
Later, Scarlette returned to Jadeborough due to some matters. After meeting Zander, arranged by the boss, she found out that he was also a helper hired by the boss and was a high school classmate of Genevieve.
Zander had no idea who the boss behind the scenes was. He merely worked for the boss since he was provided with resources and money.
However, on the other hand, Scarlette was acquainted with and quite familiar with the boss behind the scenes.
On the surface, she was like Zander, trying every possible way to get a sample of Genevieve's blood. However, she was secretly investigating Zephyr's whereabouts and his relationship with Genevieve.
Although it had been so long since Scarlette's return to Jadeborough, she utilized all her means but failed to find a single clue.
In the photo, the man's hand gently rested on the woman's waist as they strolled under the light pink cherry blossom trees. Since the photo was taken from the side, one can see the soft tenderness in the man's eyes.
From the photo, it appeared that Zephyr was really fond of Johanna.
Scarlette's gaze fell on Johanna's protruding belly, wondering in confusion, if Zephyr liked Johanna, then what was his relationship with Genevieve?
Moreover, it would be trouble if Zephyr had a child.
Scarlette pulled out another SIM card from her pocket, pried open the card slot, and replaced the existing one. Once she was connected to the internet, she made a phone call.
After lunch, Genevieve and her group spent time at the orphanage and played games with the children.
As the evening drew near six in the afternoon, Genevieve told the photographer and the field reporter to call it a day. When the minivan arrived for Scarlette, she saw her off.
Scarlette asked, “Ms. Rachford, how about I give you a lift home? It's not easy to hail a cab here.”
“No thanks,” replied Genevieve. “My husband will come to pick me up.”
No sooner had Genevieve finished speaking, a Maybach slowly pulled up and stopped at the entrance of the orphanage. She said something to Gracie, then jogged to the car, opened the door, and got in.
