Returning from the Dead: His Secret Lover novel Chapter 1975

Chapter 1975 My Wife

Hah! I can’t believe she has the audacity to stop me from entering! Upon shooting Juniper a death stare, Susan said nothing and simply pushed the young female secretary aside. Then, she strutted into the office with swelling pride.

“Hubby, do you need help? Before coming here, Daddy has given me the contacts of our military base over here. If you need it, I can give them a call right away.”

The woman who appeared at the office like a bolt from the blue had everyone’s eyes fixated on her. One of her arms was hung mid-air with an unlocked phone screen, whereas her almond-shaped eyes lit up when she saw her man.

Instantly, there was pin-drop silence at the office. The atmosphere grew so tense that a knife could cut it. Hubby? And… Daddy?

Everyone froze for several seconds, completely baffled, including Juniper, who was still trailing behind Susan, exhausting all means to stop her from entering the office.

“Sure. Go ahead and make the call.” Ian finally came to his senses. He gazed at Susan from his seat. He was absolutely delighted to see the person who gave him butterflies in his stomach.

Hubby? Not bad. At the very least, she has improved.

Susan hung her head low and averted her eyes from his fervent gaze. Blushing, she got herself together and was about to make the phone call.

“Hang on!” The police officer was panic-stricken.

He rose to his feet and stopped Susan before hurrying over to Ian’s desk.

“Mr. Hayes, I think that… there’s a misunderstanding between us.”

“Oh, is that so?” Ian questioned indifferently.

“Yes, I believe so. Mr. Hayes, please know that I came here today to approach you about the collaboration with utmost sincerity. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have come. The reason why I haven’t given you an answer was that I had no idea what Hayes Corporation was going to do next. Take the local tyrants, for example, I have arrested all the troublemakers. But, what’s next? How does Hayes Corporation plan to deal with the matter? If your intention was only to have them captured for a short period of time, they’ll surely take revenge on the police upon being released.”

In the end, the officer came clean with the young man before him and shared his predicament in dismay.

After understanding his situation, a thoughtful look appeared on Ian’s handsome face.

Arching his brow, he said, “Don’t worry, I got this. All you need to do right now is to arrest all of them so that Hayes Corporation can resume its daily operations smoothly. You should never think that Hayes Corporation is second to Tilan Palace just because of the nature of the business we’re in. Let me remind you that when the Hayeses dominated the entire Astoria, the Tilans were not even worthy of being our servants.”

“Yes, indeed…”

The officer was relieved at Ian’s words, but he was also terrified by his imposing presence at the same time. Cold sweats started to form on his forehead.

Yes, it’s true. How is it possible that Hayes Corporation is deemed less powerful than Tilan Palace?
