My One-month Marriage With Mr. Hawkins novel Chapter 873

Even if Jensen’s confidential information was heavily encrypted, as soon as Ernest’s men got their hands on it, it only took them several hours to decrypt the whole thing.

Everything regarding his cash flow was exposed.

Based on what they found, they determined that Jensen definitely had connections with the Harris family.

The Harris family was established in the Riverside City few generations ago. They were basically nobles of the city, and their nationwide influence was nothing to scoff at, either.

The head of the family loved collecting all sorts of weird and wonderful treasures and rare commodities. Thus, there was a high probability that they had also collected some Cocos throughout their collector career.

So, they speculated that Jensen was from the Harris family.

In order to obtain more detailed information, Ernest would have to get his men to follow up on this case. At the same time, he would also have to get people to follow and spy on Kieran to see what his next moves were.

If he chose to go back to his home to ask for help, it would still favour Ernest as it would make it clear that it was that specific Harris family that they had speculated about.

Because of that, Ernest was not exactly rushing to get the whole thing over with, but he was not lazing about, either. He had to execute his actions right on time, not earlier, not later.

“Collin, you’re more familiar with these older medicines, so you should look through what Zack has collected over all these years.”

If the rare, precious medicine was abundant enough to be recorded, some of it must have been auctioned off, so there must be some records of it somewhere in the world.

Moreover, Collin was an extraordinary doctor, he also paid a lot more attention to rare medicines than an Average Joe. Thus, it made sense to appoint him to look for the medicine.

For that, Collin went to Ernest’s study.

Without hesitation, he nodded and said.

“Very well, leave that to me.”

The other reason for investigating Zack’s preference when it came to precious medicine was so that Ernest could find out what he liked or what he needed.

If he knew what Zack desperately wanted, he could use that item to trade for the Cocos from Zack, which was not that bad of a choice, either.

However, there was one condition for this trade to work, which was if Zack did not care about Jensen’s well-being.

Collins sat in front of two laptops and a pile of books.

He drank a cup of coffee and prepared to start working.

“Click” sounded as the door swung open, the person clearly not bothering to even knock on the door once.

Stanford walked into the room and stopped in front of Collins. With his height towering over him, Stanford looked down at Collins with a gloomy gaze.

Collins shivered in fear as his heart started racing.

‘Isn’t he together with Phoebe? Why is he looking for me now, then?’

Thinking that, Collins watched his words and asked, “Are you looking for me, Mr. Fraser?”

“Yes,” replied Stanford monotonously.

Silence followed after that.

Three seconds later, Collins could not stand the awkward silence and asked, “How can I help you?”

“Something,” replied Stanford in the same dreadful monotonous voice as before.

Collins was rendered speechless by his response.

‘Are you for real right now? Of course I know that there’s ‘something’ that you need help with, but the least you can do is tell me what is it exactly that you need my help with, man.’

To save his hide, he asked cautiously.

“Mr. Fraser, we can’t afford to waste any time when it comes to dealing with Kieran. I’m researching about Zack Harris as we speak, so is the thing that you need my help with urgent?”

Of course, the meaning behind his words was, ‘If it’s not urgent, don’t bother me.’

Stanford pursed his lips, as his expression turned cold and stern.

After he spent some time to think about it, he replied with his deep voice, “It is urgent.”

Then, he added, “Teach me, what is love, or rather, how is it like to love someone?”

Collins was once again rendered speechless.

Bewildered, he stared at his boss with wide eyes.
