My Husband, Warm The Bed novel Chapter 1763

The rain continued to fall.

Listening to the sound of the rain, Jefferson couldn't help but get annoyed. It would be even more difficult to look for clues at the site of the murder now that the rain has ruined it.

Adrienne got the clues before Jefferson, but how did the murderer know that Adrienne had gotten the clues and manage to kill the witness before Adrienne could find him?

Did this person know about Adrienne's whereabouts all the time?

Apart from Jefferson, who else would be able to know Adrienne's whereabouts?

Zelson?

As Zelson's name flashed across Jefferson's mind, his heart trembled.

If the murderer was really Zelson, it would mean that a time bomb that could explode anytime would be next to Adrienne. The thought of it sent chills down Jefferson's spine.

But, why would Zelson do this?

Whether it was Zelson or not, Jefferson immediately came up with a solution. He picked up his phone and dialed a number. "Ralph, didn't you want me to accept the job as the captain of the Chatterton Town criminal police team? I've thought about it and I don't think I'll be able to handle the position of captain of the criminal police team. However, I'm interested in being the captain of the Paramount Criminal Police Team."

A voice sounded from the other end of the phone, "You got the job offer as the captain of the Chatterton Town criminal police team, why do you want to be the captain of the Paramount Criminal Police Team? If you were to be the captain of the Paramount Criminal Police Team, what is Quill going to do? He's done well these years, I can't demote him."

Jefferson replied, "I don't care what you do with Quill. I need to work together with Adrienne."

The man on the other end of the phone said, "Mr. Hefner, are you trying to date under the name of work?"

"That's right, I'm trying to date with the convenience of working together. Do you have a problem with that?" Jefferson asked as he didn't think that it was inappropriate for him to date under the name of work.

The person on the other end cleared his throat and replied, "Mr. Hefner, we still have to take care of our image no matter what. If you want to date, you have plenty of time to do it after work, why do you have do it during work?"

"I don't want to miss out any time for both work and life." Jefferson thought for a while, then offered another solution, "If you really want me to be the captain of the Chatterton Town criminal police team, then you can chose to transfer Adrienne over."

"Adrienne has to work with Zelson for now, she isn't capable of working independently yet. Didn't you know this already?"

"Well, if she can't work independently yet, then just get her another mentor here. Are you not capable of doing that?"

"Zelson is the number-one forensic doctor in Chatterton Town, and one of the top forensic doctors in the country. Many people dream to be able to be his mentee but they don't have the chance. If you transfer Adrienne away from him, she'd definitely get mad at you."

For the sake of Adrienne's safety, and to avoid her being snatched by another man, Jefferson wasn't willing to listen to any of this advice. "You told me that I could request for anything, and now I only request for this. Whether or not this deal works out is up to you, it has nothing to do with me."

After that, Jefferson hung up the phone decisively. Whoever was on the other side of the phone didn't matter to him, as he, the great Mr. Hefner, only cared about his own feelings. He never bothered considering the feelings of anyone else's.

However, just as he hung up the phone, another call came in. Looking at the words displayed on the screen, Jefferson's eyebrows furrowed.

He cleared his throat and answered the phone, "My dear mother, it's already so late at night, yet you're not asleep. You'll end up with wrinkles on your face."
