My Husband, Warm The Bed novel Chapter 1913

Adrienne was speechless.

Jefferson's domineering character probably would not change even after decades.

Everything was his to decide. Did she even have any rights in the relationship?

He said that he loved her to the moon and back, but he still bullied her as he did before.

Jefferson watched Adrienne, who obviously wanted to refute him but was suppressing her anger. Jefferson thought she looked so adorable that he couldn't help but laugh and muse out loud, "My little idiot, why are you so adorable?"

"Yes yes, you're the only intelligent being on earth. As a dumb idiot, I will make up for my stupidity with hard work." Adrienne turned around and trotted away after glaring at him fiercely.

Jefferson did not take his eyes off her retreating figure until she walked around the corner, disappearing from his sight. Then, he took out his mobile phone from the pocket of his trousers.

The gentle expression on his face just then became ferocious the moment he saw the new message he had received.

The content was simple.

There was only a single smiling emoji.

A smile that belied triumph and savagery.

Jefferson gripped the phone tightly with such force that it almost broke.

He immediately returned to his office to pick up another mobile phone and dialed a number. When the call connected, Jefferson asked, "How's the investigation going?"

When he heard the reply from the other end, a smile appeared on Jefferson's stoic face. It was an icy, and sinister smile. "Very well. I'll give orders for the allocation of personnel later. I won't allow any mistakes."

After investigating for so long, he had finally made a breakthrough. Soon, he would be able to catch the perpetrators in one fell swoop. • • •

After Bruce and Tommy received Adrienne's call and were told of the seriousness of the matter, they hurried over to Freddy. Bruce asked, "Freddy, why's Freya involved in this?"

"I don't know either." Freddy shook his head. "But I believe that Freya hasn't killed anyone and with Jefferson and Adrienne around, Freya will not become the scapegoat for the true murderer."

"You're going about it the right way." Before they came, Tommy and Bruce were worried that Freddy would be taking things too hard. They were both relieved after hearing what Freddy had to say.

Tommy then patted Freddy's shoulder and said, "Let's go and consult a lawyer on this."

They were all from wealthy families and had their own businesses too. They had the means to hire any lawyer they wanted. After a short discussion, they decided on Malcom Yeager, a reputable criminal lawyer in Chatterton Town.

Malcom had never lost a single case since his career kicked off. He was also selective with the cases he took up; he would not earn any money at the expense of his conscience. In other words, even if it meant he would be doing it for free, he would be more than willing to fight for his client as long as he felt that it was justified. That was also the reason why his reputation soared over the years. Of course, he had made many enemies in the process too.

When Freddy, Bruce and Tommy arrived at Malcom's firm, Malcom immediately ushered them into his office without any explanation. The three, who had even prepared a speech to convince him to take up their case, were confused.

Noting their puzzled gazes, Malcom clarified, "Mr.

Jefferson has already given me a call."

So Jefferson had already notified him before they came. That was the reason for the immediate reception they got.
