A Divorce Make Me Rich

Chapter 967 Jaqueline is Weird



In the office, Zack quietly observed Anthony’s face, and carefully reported Jaqueline’s return.

Anthony’s hand holding the cigarette froze, then he raised his eyes, slightly lifted his lips, and lightly exhaled a beautiful smoke ring.

“When did she come back?”

“Just now, when she entered the door, she began to distribute gifts to everyone, saying that they were gifts brought back from going out this time.”

Anthony slowly extinguished the cigarette and remained silent.

Looking at his slow movements, Zack only felt it was like a kind of torment to himself.

Whenever Anthony was in this state, it proved that there was fire in his heart. He claimed to know Anthony better, but he can’t really figure out his mind.

After a long time, Anthony got up leisurely, and patted off some soot that was accidentally stained on his body.

“Go down and have a look.”

With that said, he walked straight forward.

Zack behind him hastily followed.

Anthony walked quickly.

In the business department, Jaqueline came back and brought some local products from the mountains to share with everyone. Everyone wondered why Jaqueline disappeared for several days.

But the answer Jaqueline gave was: “The scenery in the mountains is so beautiful. I want to stay for a few more days, so I come back late. Isn’t this just a good time to bring you some souvenirs, so don’t be too polite.”

Her smile was sweet and bright, and it seemed to have an indescribable appeal.

Seeing this, everyone felt that she was innocent and playful, so they didn’t think much about it and happily accepted the gift she brought back.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

Gift was the best way to win people’s hearts.

But Jaqueline didn’t have this purpose. She wanted Anthony to see her beauty and generosity.

She was racking her brains to show the best of herself in front of Anthony.

Even if one day her identity was exposed, or she didn’t want her as a substitute, at least she can leave some good impressions.

Originally, Jaqueline actually wanted to wait until the end of the mission. Completing the mission was a threshold, and as long as she stepped over it, she can successfully escape.

It was just a smuggled weapon. Jaqueline was trained by Sheldon, so it was not too difficult for her.

Even if she hadn’t tried it herself, she had seen it a lot of time, so she naturally knew the rules and ways of doing it.

But the problem was that this time she did not do it voluntarily, and it was basically vague about which water route this batch of goods will take.

If she hadn’t asked, she might not have been told the truth about the destination of the delivery. Gradually, Jaqueline realized that the escort this time was probably a trap.

Jaqueline wanted to get some information through her adoptive father, so she pretended to be obedient.

However, this old guy kept his mouth shut, and can even guess her purpose very quickly.

Jaqueline didn’t dare deal with this old guy, so she wanted to start from other places, but unexpectedly heard that the escorted cargo this time was to pass through the port of the Callahan family.

Sure enough, there was a trap.

This old guy had been working for so many years, so how did he not know avoiding risks? But the goods were shipped out of the port of the Callahan family, and if they were discovered, Anthony would have to bear the blame.

It was fine to be someone else, but this was Anthony.

Although Jaqueline was just a double in his eyes, there was no way for him to just sit back and watch.

So, Jaqueline said that she still had something to do in the company, so she hurried back.

Anthony quickly went downstairs and saw Jaqueline laughing with her colleagues, as if nothing happened, an unknown fire arose in his heart.

Jaqueline turned around, just in time to see Anthony with an unfriendly face.

She excused herself from colleagues with a smile and came to Anthony.

“Anthony, I’m back. I’m sorry to make you worry. In fact, I didn’t want to go out without saying anything. I wanted to call you, but I didn’t expect there was no signal in the mountains.”

As Jaqueline said, her mouth pouted, and her eyes were full of pleading.

Anthony saw it, but didn’t feel any pity. He only thought that she was really restless.

The attack on the fishing village must have been done on purpose. Anthony was already investigating the matter, and it may be because someone thought he was still in the fishing village and started the attack.

Anthony had seen a lot of this kind of means of seeking power.

If someone really attacked him, he would know the connection between him and Jaqueline, and he would not let her go.

Anthony had a promise in his heart.

He said coldly, “Knowing the danger and running out without permission? Zack, arrange a few people to follow Miss Buckner to protect her safety.”

“Yes.”

As soon as he said so, Jaqueline panicked.

She had to meet with the people from her adoptive father.

“No, Anthony, I will be obedient in the future, and I will never cause you any trouble.”

She made her promise firmly, but Anthony didn’t waver in the slightest.

Jaqueline could only use her trump card, grabbed Anthony’s arm and shook it lightly. “Anthony, I know I’m wrong, so I won’t run around. Mavis is also from a small place, but she is very familiar with the surroundings, and you didn’t send anyone to watch her. How free.”

When Mavis was mentioned, Anthony’s face turned colder.

“Anthony, is Mavis unhappy that she left the company? Or should I ask her to have dinner with her another day? So that it will be Mavis keeping an eye on me, and we can also promote our relationship and become good friends.”

Anthony glanced at her and walked upstairs without saying a word.

Zack was helpless. Looking at Jaqueline, he was a little uncertain for a while.

It was obvious that he had already hinted to Jaqueline not to continue with a wink. Why did Jaqueline still mention it?

Was Jaqueline really as innocent as she seemed?

Zack couldn’t tell, but he had a strange feeling.

Back upstairs, Zack asked, “Mr. Callahan, are we still sending people to keep an eye on Miss Buckner?”

Anthony was silent for a while, then suddenly raised his head and asked, “What do you think?”

“This… I don’t know.”

Anthony pulled himself away from the table, took the chair back half a step, looked at the ceiling, and tapped his fingers on the table, “Don’t be afraid. Just say it. I’m asking you what you think. Just say what comes to mind.”

Zack nodded, “Yes, Mr. Callahan, you may not like to hear it. In fact, what Mr. Chen said is reasonable. Since Jaqueline came to the company, we always lost files inexplicably, and she blamed Madam for it. Especially this time she went out. I always feel weird when she came back.”

Having said that, he made Anthony firm up his mind.

He also found Jaqueline very strange.

“Send people to watch her.”

“Yes.”

Zack was about to leave when Anthony stopped him, “How is the whereabouts of Mavis?”

Hearing this, Zack said with some guilt, “I’m sorry, Mr. Callahan. When Madam left, it was handled very cleanly, and there was no trace of her whereabouts at all. Now there is another way, that is…”

Anthony rubbed his temple lightly, “What else can I do? Just say it.”

“Just ask Ms. Lloyd.”
