My Husband, Warm The Bed novel Chapter 1813

"We can't rule out such a possibility. But as I said before, what we need is evidence." Quill took the report from Adrienne, cleared his throat, and said, "Now the evidence is unfavorable towards Jefferson. If we can't find him soon, he'll be construed as escaping the law."

The police officer said, "If someone is really framing Jefferson, and he's currently missing, isn't it possible that he's dead too?"

As soon as the police officer said that, Adrienne's heart trembled. She had been worried but she hadn't dared to think of the worst-case scenario.

The police officer's words were like a sharp arrow, piercing straight into her heart, making her legs tremble. Her knees almost gave way. Fortunately, she held onto the desk in time to stabilize herself.

"No! Jefferson will be fine!" Adrienne forced herself to calm down. "Sergeant Scott, I'll keep trying to reach him. You send some men out to search for him as well. Whether he killed someone or not, bringing him back is our priority."

"I will try my best to find him." Quill patted her shoulder and said, "You just have to focus on your work. Don't worry too much. You must have faith that not anyone can harm Mr. Hefner."

Adrienne nodded. "Yes."

After coming out of Quill's office, Adrienne drove to the Chatterton Town Police Team immediately. She wanted to see Vincent, Jefferson's subordinate.

Seeing Adrienne, Vincent was very friendly. "Dr. Carter, do you need me for anything?"

Adrienne didn't bother with small talk and directly asked, "Where's Jefferson?"

Vincent rubbed the back of his neck and said, "Dr. Carter, our boss's whereabouts have always been uncertain. If he is not with the team, we can't find him at all. If you want to find him, you'd better call him directly."

Adrienne didn't know if Vincent really didn't know about Jefferson's whereabouts or if he was unwilling to tell her. She asked, "Did he carry out a mission with you last night?"

"No, no..." Their tasks were meant to be confidential. No one was allowed to know their operations. Furthermore, Vincent had no clue about Adrienne's relationship with

Jefferson. "Dr. Carter, what do you want to see our boss for? Is it convenient for you to tell me?"

"Didn't you guys go on a mission last night?" Adrienne looked at Vincent, her eyes cold and threatening. "If not, why did Jefferson appear at a bar in Mangrove Bay?"

"Dr. Carter..." Vincent was confused. Did Jefferson reveal his whereabouts to Dr. Carter?

That couldn't be right!

Jefferson was better at concealing the secrets of their work than anyone else in their team. It was impossible for him to reveal the progress of their mission to a woman.

From Vincent's expression, Adrienne could tell that they had indeed carried out a mission.

Adrienne said again, "There was a murder in Magre Bar in Mangrove Bay this morning. For now, the witness and material evidence point to Jefferson. You should know the seriousness of the matter."

Vincent was stunned again, and it took him a while to come to his senses. "Dr. Carter, how is this possible? Our boss would never kill anyone."

"I also believe that he wouldn't do such a

thing, but we need evidence to prove he didn't." Adrienne subconsciously clenched her fists and said, "I couldn't find him, so I came to see you."

"Dr. Carter, come in and have a seat." Vincent led her into the lounge and poured her a cup of tea. Then, he called over two other colleagues. "Dr. Carter, we were on a mission last night. But, as you know, our task force operations are confidential. We are not allowed to simply disclose it to outsiders... Can I ask you a question? What is the relationship between you and our boss? How did you know that he went on a mission last night?"
