Chapter 415 Being Forced to Kneel
“Janet…”
“I have a meeting to attend later, so take your time and eat, goodbye.”
Janet finished speaking and walked away without looking back.
Donahueiel picked up the napkin on his lap and threw it on the dining table, his face full
of displeasure.
Janet was not there, so Donahueiel lost his appetite and went straight back to the office.
Just returned to the office, the secretary brought a thick pile of documents that needed Donahueiel’s signature.
Alfred walked up and customarily helped Donahueiel sort the papers, but Donahueiel pressed the papers with one hand.
“Mr. Webster?”
“You don’t have to mind these. I have more important things to send you to do.”
Donahueiel’s long, slender fingers rubbed circles on his watch. His cold, lonely eyes were sharp.
“Go investigate what projects Longfellow Group contracted and participated in three years ago before I was married to Janet.”
“Especially the projects Janet was in charge of. Give me all the tallies, with time to
detail.”
Alfred led the order and left, “Yes.”
Glancing at the mountain of papers, Donahueiel pushed them aside for a moment and turned on his computer, his fingertips tapping rapidly on the keyboard.
When exactly did Janet meet him, and how did she fall for him, and why did he have no memory of it?
Donahueiel’s narrow eyes were half–hidden by hair. The dappled color blocks on the
computer screen were reflected in his pupils and sucked into the deep swirls of his eyes.
Cut Bo
He must find out the answer and get Janet back!
In the evening, Janet returned from work to the Green family mansion.
As soon as she walked through the courtyard door, Lawrence greeted her and
respectfully took Janet’s bag.
“Ms. Longfellow, Ms. Poole has been waiting in the living room for your return and hasn’t
left.”
Janet nodded and walked straight into the living room.
Coral leaned crookedly on the cushions, her high heels taken off and tossed aside.
“You’re quite comfortable.” Janet’s tone was cold.
Coral was impatiently tapping at her phone when she heard Janet’s cold voice and
winced, staring at Janet in disbelief.
“Get off, who gave you permission to lie on it.‘
Janet ripped away the cushion behind Coral, tugging Coral to nearly fell to the floor.
Coral didn’t even have lunch and waited here until the evening. She was tired, hungry, and angry, and without the timidity of midday, she sat up and yelled at Janet.
“Janet, do you have any humanity? I’ve been waiting here for nearly eight hours, and my back is aching from sitting. I can’t even lie down on your couch?”
Coral glared at Lawrence, who was standing to the side, and was even more furious.
“Also, this housekeeper of yours is acting like a puppet, he doesn’t even give me a glass of water, and he doesn’t know anything. I’m starving to death!”
Janet’s expression was calm. She clasped her arms indifferently and examined Coral.
“It’s better if you’re hungry. Only when you’re hungry does your brain stay awake.”
Coral was angry and flushed, “I think you are the one who is not clear–headed!”
“What the hell did you call me here for? Didn’t I just accidentally misread it? I’ve already apologized to you, why are you so unforgiving?”
Get Bo
“If apologizing is useful, why do I need the police?”
Janet raised her voice and scolded her.
Coral was still cursing endlessly, Janet sidestepped to Lawrence and instructed.
“Lawrence, escort her upstairs and take her to my brother’s room.”
If referring to the three brothers of the Smedley family, they would normally be called in
order of age. Only one person could be called “brother” by Janet.
That was Mr. Webster.
Lawrence quickly realized that Coral had probably offended Mr. Webster, no wonder Ms. Longfellow was so angry.
“Ghost!!!”
“Snap!”
