If possible, Emily did not want Henry to know that she was investigating something about Matriarch Jackson.
However, Joe might be in danger now.
She bit her lower lip and was about to speak when her phone rang.
Emily was nervous and she took out her phone in a hurry.
It was Joe! She hurriedly answered, “Joe, where are you? How are you? Are you safe? Is there anything wrong?”
“It’s fine. It is fine. I saw Terry. Hw will drive us back. Don’t worry.”
Joe sounded normal. Emily heaved a sigh of relief.
“That’s fine. Are you with Terry now? Hurry up and come back.”
After hanging up, Emily turned around and found that everyone was looking at her.
She exhaled and said, “It’s fine. He is with Terry.”
“Then, let’s go back to the office. Can we work when waiting for them?” Lois said, and everyone felt relieved.
“Alright, let’s go back first.”
Everyone greeted Henry and turned to walk into the lobby.
Emily also wanted to turn around, but Henry grabbed her wrist and said, “Come and have a cup of coffee with me.”
“I…” Emily felt a little guilty and whispered, “If I drink coffee at night, I will be sleepless…”
“Then you can drink a cup of tea with me.”
“Drinking tea is the same.”
“Drink water!”
Henry pulled Emily into the lounge, and placed a cup of warm water in front of her.
“How is it? Don’t you prepare to tell me the truth? You have been running around with Joe these days. What exactly do you want to do?”
Although Henry looked gentle, he also seemed cold and serious.
However, as long as he became serious, that cold feeling would not be less than Hunter.
Especially when he changed his gentle image and became cold and indifferent, he would give people a stiff feeling that was difficult to adapt.
“I’m… a little thirsty.” Emily picked up the cup with both hands and drank two mouthfuls.
When she put down the cup, she looked up and saw that Henry was looking at her seriously.
Did he mean that he would never give up until he got an answer?
“How long do you want to cheat me? I want to find out. How much time do you think it will take?”
“I… suspect Matriarch Jackson’s death…”
“Didn’t Hunter say that he wouldn’t allow you to investigate this matter? What else do you want to do?”
“But I know that there is something wrong about Matriarch Jackson’s death. I can’t just give up and let her die without knowing the truth!”
“Then tell me, who do you suspect? Why do you suspect?”
Henry stared at her with a cold gaze, “At that time, there was no one beside Matriarch Jackson except you. Who else would you suspect?”
Emily could not answer this question. She did not even know.
“So what? You do not even have a target. What can you do? Or are you hiding something else from me?”
“I...” Emily hesitated for a moment. She looked up and discovered that Henry had already come in front of her.
He looked down at her. With this posture, she suddenly felt as if the pressure overwhelmed her.
“Henry…”
“Why don’t you tell me? Don’t you believe me?”
She saw disappointment in his eyes, and she felt nervous.
However, could she tell him that she was the granddaughter of Matriarch Jackson?
