My Husband, Warm The Bed novel Chapter 1746

After handing in the report, Adrienne went over to Zelson's office and apologized, "Mr. Zelson, I'm really sorry about what just happened! Jefferson has been spoiled since young, so he doesn't know his place sometimes. He really isn't a bad person."

Adrienne was apologetic on behalf of Jefferson again. Perhaps, even she herself did not know her reasons behind doing so. But Zelson, as an onlooker, could see clearly that Adrienne had regarded herself as someone under Jefferson.

However, what right did Jefferson have to let Adrienne protect him like this?

A wave of anger rose in Zelson's heart, but he hid it very well. He still remained calm and said, "Adrienne, why are you apologizing for him? You and he are just acquaintances, nothing special. What he did has nothing to do with you."

"Actually, Jefferson and I are..."

Before she could say they were married, Zelson interrupted her, "Adrienne, concentrate on your work when you are working. Don't allow yourself to get distracted from your

tasks because of someone else."

"Sorry, Mr. Zelson!"

Adrienne buried herself in work all the way until nighttime. She had no time to go home, so naturally, she had no time to pay attention to what Jefferson was up to either.

In the morning, during breakfast, news broke out that not only had the headless female corpses case not been solved yet, there were also more cases showing up. A special investigation team was set up to solve the case, and the team members were assigned personally by the city's municipal office.

Before the team had arrived, the Paramount Criminal Police Team was already discussing it, "Sergeant Scott, the superiors have sent someone over to take charge of the case. It's clear that they're unsatisfied with your work."

Quill scolded, "Don't talk nonsense. If I could solve the case, would they need to send someone else over?"

Quill was a capable man, but he knew his limits. Until this moment, there were no leads on this case, so the superiors had sent a more experienced person to take the lead in this case. As long as they could solve the case as soon as possible, Quill had no objection.

Not just that, he was so welcoming that he

brought the entire team, including the forensic department as well as the others, to stand in a row neatly by the entrance. They stood there to get ready to welcome their new leader.

Zelson didn't care much about this matter. No matter who was sent to take charge of the work, he always dealt with the dead and handled his own work well.

Although Adrienne's work was arranged by Zelson, she was still young after all. She was still interested in the new supervisor who was about to arrive. She stood at the back of the crowd and craned her neck to look at the door.

"Someone is coming," shouted someone in the crowd.

Everyone turned their gazes to the door at the same time. Immediately, everyone inhaled a sharp gust of air. Wasn't this that man who caused a huge commotion in the station just a few days ago?

Adrienne watched him walk in perplexedly.

"Why is this guy here again?" she thought.

Adrienne instinctively wanted to step forward to stop Jefferson, but Zelson cleared his throat beside her, which stopped her in her tracks. She turned her head to look at Jefferson worriedly.

As usual, Jefferson walked in arrogantly, as if he was afraid that no one would recognize him. The difference was that he was wearing a police uniform that day, which made him look... sexy!

Adrienne was frightened by the thought that came into her mind. How could she think of such a description for Jefferson? It was not as if she didn't know what kind of person he was.

"How could I!" she exclaimed inwardly.

While Adrienne was imagining things, Quill immediately stepped forward and greeted, "Captain Hefner, welcome!"
