The Cherished Wife (Noelle and Charles) novel Chapter 103

Chapter 103 

With Joseph gone, Robert looked really upset. He picked up the phone and dialed a familiar number. “Get to my office now. I want to know everything that happened yesterday, down to the last detail!” 

Joseph stepped out of the Colossus Grou 

building with a sinking feeling. He suddenly remembered that Jenson Lowry from Colossus Group was the head of the Finance Department. 

A jolt of fear ran through him. What if Jenson was in trouble? That would mean Robert could be in hot water too. The issues cropping up at Frotconn now were certainly no accident. 

He quickly dialed Xavier’s number. “Stop working on Robert’s shipment right now. If you can, destroy it all, and don’t leave any evidence in writing.” 

However, Joseph did not realize that he was only barely scraping the surface. 

Robert’s secretary recounted every detail of the previous day’s events to him. Robert’s face turned a shade of stormy gray. “What have you been doing? Why didn’t you tell me yesterday? Where’s Jenson

Ronald spotted Charles’s car rolling up and swung the door open for him. “He’s inside.” 

Charles stepped out, his dark eyes aloof and detached. At Ronald’s words, he glanced up. “What was that?

“He didn’t say much except that he’s excited to meet you!” 

Charles quirked an eyebrow, his long fingers drumming on the car door. “Alright. Let’s go check it out.” 

When Jenson caught sight of Charles, he shot to his feet. “Mr. Hoffman, Lknow I messed up. I’ll tell you anything you want to know about Mr. Harris. Just promise you’ll free me! I have to look after my parents and my kids! I can’t end up behind bars!” 

Charles shot Ronald a look. Ronald signaled the bodyguards, and two of them quickly stepped forward to yank Jenson to his feet. 

“Men shouldn’t kneel for no reason. I’m not your great–grandpa, so why kneel to me?” 

Charles was clearly amused. He pulled a chair aside and took a seat with a relaxed air. 

While Charles seemed totally at ease, Jenson was sweating bullets.
