Twins in Her Womb (Bianca and Luke Crawford novel) novel Chapter 2297

It was just a thought, though. Jean still refused to work.

He crossed his legs while sitting on the couch, then he looked at the receptionist and asked, “Do you have anything to eat or drink here?”

“Yes, Mr. Langdon. Have a seat while I go prepare something for you,” the receptionist said politely.

Jean nodded arrogantly as he was just here for the money, but unexpectedly, he could freeload on some food too.

After a while, the receptionist brought a cup of coffee and some snacks over.

Jean ignored the receptionist’s gaze as he grabbed the snacks and ate them right away. Although they were small, they still tasted great. Just a few more of these would be enough to fill him up.

When the receptionist saw Jean wolfing down the food as if he had not eaten for days, she frowned slightly and brought more snacks over after some consideration.

The company’s purchasing department had bought these snacks to entertain the guests. They were quite pricey because practically everyone who came here was of honorable status. The refreshments were usually just for display.

Those guests would not reach for them either.

Jean was the first…

“Just put them down.” Jean’s eyes brightened up upon seeing her bring in more snacks.

The snacks just now barely filled his stomach, but he could stuff himself now that he had more.

The receptionist put the snacks down while Jean continued to eat.

Five minutes later, he finished all of the snacks and burped as he made a comment to the receptionist, “This company’s snacks are not bad.”

The receptionist felt a little awkward. He ate those snacks without any regard for his image as if he lived here. He even gave comments afterward.

She went up to clear all the packaging of the snacks. After throwing them into the trash, she heard voices coming from outside the door.

The receptionist walked out to take a look before turning back to tell Jean, “Mr. Langdon, Mr. Mallory is done with his meeting and is on his way here.”

Upon hearing this, Jean hurriedly wiped away the crumbs on the corner of his mouth and sat up straight.

Percy walked in, and with a cold expression, he looked at Jean sitting on the couch pretentiously. “I was in a meeting just now. Sorry to keep you waiting.”

“You’re a busy man. It’s my pleasure to wait for you.” Jean sucked up to him.

Percy sat on another sofa. When he raised his hand, everyone who followed behind him, including the receptionist who entertained Jean earlier, left the reception room.

The moment the door closed, Jean could not resist and said, “Mr. Mallory, I…”

“I know who sold the information to the reporters,” said Percy bluntly.

Jean was dumbfounded. He knew?

If he knew, why did he not do anything? Instead, he let Marie stay in A City all this time?

This was not like him as the Mallory family was known to be revengeful…

Jean cautiously asked, “Who do you think did it?”

“Marie Rayne,” said Percy as he could not help but feel disgusted by Jean’s foolish look.
