Heart Hunting novel Chapter 91

Greg glances at the computer screen, only to see the clear photos of Jean.

He has a little understanding of this woman. It’s true that walking at night often leads to ghosts.

The ringing of the phone breaks the gloomy atmosphere of this moment. Poppy takes a look at the call indicator. She doesn’t plan to answer it.

“Is that Jean looking for you to help her?” Greg jokes.

An idea suddenly comes to Poppy. She smiles to him and says, “I heard that you are very good at dealing with lawsuit, but I haven’t really read your lesson.”

Poppy beats around the bush, and Greg doesn’t understand what she really means. He replies, “it’s my honor to get your appreciation.”

“Since you are here, then I’ll leave this case to you, so that I can also see how capable you are!”

Poppy makes a foxy smile with sinister light in her eyes.

What?

Greg suddenly becomes a little flustered. He’s not planing to take this hot potato at all.

Poppy ignores him and looks at her assistant. “Claire, did you have breakfast?”

“No.”

“Good.” Poppy picks up her bag and says, “the case is up to lawyer Greg. Let’s have breakfast together, Claire.”

“Poppy...lawyer Poppy!” Greg fail stopping her. Looking at the back of her leaving, Greg has nothing can do to her except sighing, “she really knows how to use resources!”

Sure enough, after Poppy left, Jean comes to the law firm with sunglasses, masks and hats.

Due to the photos and videos of her having sex on the forum, her life has been bothered a lot. She steps into the office with her high-heeled.

As soon as she enters in, the receptionist immediately pays attention to her. She focuses her eyes on Jean. She doesn’t know who this woman is until Jean takes off all the outfit.

She’s the protagonist of the hottest topic now. The topic tags of her has already become the top search on the internet this since this morning.

“I’m looking for lawyer Poppy.” She’s in a bad mood. And the thought that Poppy didn’t answer her phone makes her mood even worse.

“I’m sorry, Miss Barnes, but lawyer Poppy isn’t in the office now.”

“How coincident.” Jean frowns. She doesn’t really believe that. She continues to ask, “where’s she? Give her a phone call.”

“Lawyer Poppy is on a business trip with her assistant. They’ll be absent these days.”

At this time, Jeremy comes back from the outside. When he see Jean getting angry, he goes to her. “Miss Barnes, are you here for lawyer Poppy?”

Jean glances at him and asks, “is she hiding in her office?”

“Lawyer Poppy is really on a business trip.”

Jean thinks they’re both lying to her. With a cold hiss, she pushes away Jeremy and tries to break into Poppy’s office. “I have something really important. I have to find her, don’t stop me!”

“Miss Barnes, you can’t do that.” Jeremy follows behind her.

But they can’t stop Jean when she is crazy. She searches every room of Poppy’s office, but there is no any other people there.

“See? Miss Barnes, lawyer Poppy is really not here.”

Jean reaches out to pushes Jeremy away again. “She must be hiding in the office. Go away!”

She continues to push open the doors of other independent offices one by one. Arno hasn’t come back yet, so there’s also no one in his office. Jean keeps searching, until she breaks into Greg’s office at last.

Seeing Jeremy who comes in behind Jean with sweats on his forehead, Greg realizes what’s going on.

“A shrew is really a shrew. They always dare to show their nature everywhere.” Greg speaks sarcastically.

Jean didn’t expect to see him in the office. She takes a look at the sign on the door. “Lawyer Greg? Hum...how can you be a lawyer with no virtue?” Jean sneers with sarcasm.

“What’s wrong with my virtue? I get my lawyer’s qualification by passing the test. Unlike you, prostituting to get money from your dead husbands.” Greg is still smiling, but what he says really makes Jean get mad.

“Don’t sling mud at me! You know the law and you break it as a lawyer, be careful if I sue you for slander!” Jean is in a rage. Why do I have to meet this jerk here? The world is so narrow!

“Oh, really? Do you have time to sue me?” Greg says punningly, and the sarcasm in his eyes in very visible.

“You...you such a playboy would only lose the lawsuit even if you’re a lawyer! Let’s see who is so stupid to hire you as a defense lawyer!” In Jean’s opinion, those who often goes out for fun are definitely playboys. The idea of that a person like him can do nothing serious has solidified in her mind.

“Ha ha..” Greg laughs. “Well, even that, I’m better than you such a slut. You only know how to hook up with men.”

Greg continues, “just look at you, hook up with a gigolo? See what you get now. You think that all the men in the world like sluts like you? Oh, come on. Don’t be so stupid. Those guys like you just because you’re sluttish enough. They approach you for you money. Women over thirty are not attractive. Go away, don’t stink my office!”

Greg looks down upon the kind of women like her most. He keeps humiliating Jean.

And Jean looks terrible when she hears what he says. But she can’t find any word to fight back for a while.

Greg even calls Jeremy in. “Jeremy, see off the guest.”

Then he looks at Jean in a grimed-face, asking, “are you going to get out on your own, or do you want to be sent out by entertainment journalists?”

Jean is so angry that even her fingers are shaking. “You...you son of a bitch.”

Greg is still calm. He takes out his mobile phone and says, “I have lots of phone numbers of entertainment journalists. Shall I contact them...”

Jean has no choice but to leave. Before leaving, she threatens Greg, “let’s wait and see. I’ll definitely sue you!”

“Fine. Just go ahead with that when you have time.”

In the villa of the Greens, Hilda, who has successfully planned the plan, is answering the phone with a smile out of satisfied. “You’ve done a good job!”

“Well, it all relies on your guidance, madam.”

“I’ll pay the final payment this afternoon. Just wait for it.” Hilda leans on the sofa and taps on the armrest with her fingertips, looking very relaxed. Like she said, dealing with Jean is just a suit case for her.

“Thank you, madam!”

Hilda looks at her daughter who has just came down the stairs. She looks so sad that even her eyes are full of the sense of upset.

“Ethel, what’s the matter with you?”

“Mom.” Ethel is depressed. She answers weakly when Hilda calls her.

“Come here.” Hilda beckons to her.

After Ethel sits down, Hilda talks to her. “Jean has already lost her reputation now. Why are you still unhappy?”

“No, I’m not. I’m happy with that.” Ethel tries to make a smile.

Hilda takes her daughter’s hands, and smiles like a devil. She says with a creepy voice, “let’s wait and see if there still be anyone daring to be with Jean in the future. This is more exhilarating than killing her.”

Getting revenge doesn’t means that she has to hurt Jean’s body. Sometimes mental torturing is even easier to destroy a person’s will. I’m gonna see who is willing to be cuckolded!

Ethel keep listening to her mother’s nagging, but she is absent-minded. The loneliness in her eyes spreads fast. She thinks, Kenny will not pay any attention to me anymore. Even Jean can not be with him, what can I do?

“Ethel, Ethel...” Hilda slightly pushes her. When Ethel comes back to her mind, Hilda asks, “Ethel, what’s wrong with you? Why are you spaced-out?”

“Mom, I...” Ethel bows her head and hesitates for a moment. For a while, she doesn’t know what to say to her mother.

“What? Just speak it out.” Hilda frowns. She looks at her daughter. “Since when did you stammer?”

“Mom, my nose has been laughed at for a long time. When exactly can I get it repaired?” Ethel can only transfer her anger to her nose, which, indeed, is also her obsession.

Hilda doesn’t think it a big problem. “Relax. I have contacted the international experts who are good at cosmetic surgery for you. They will come to do the repair operation for you in the next two days. At that time...” Hilda touch Ethel’s face, with treachery in her eyes. “You will no need to be afraid that you can’t get Kenny come back to you.”

When it comes to Kenny, Ethel feels depressed again.

Hilda seems to see through her daughter’s mind. “Ethel, since when did you become so insecure?”

Ethel is afraid to be really seen through by her mother. She coughs on purpose to cover her guilty, and pretends to cheer up immediately. “No, I’m not. I’m just a little tired. Emm...by the way, how’s the company now?”

“It’s OK. Even without cooperating with Dakings, we can still cooperate with other companies. You don’t have to worry about these things. Just leave it to your father.” Hilda rolls her eyes and adds, “Instead, if you still have energy, you’d better use your brain, find a better man for yourself.”

Ethel listens to her mother and doesn’t speak anything.

Meanwhile, Bryant is not in the company at all. After receiving Susan’s phone call, he makes an excuse to go out.

“Susan, are you feel better now?” Bryant asks.

Susan looks up at him with a pale face and smiles, “as long as you stay with me, I’ll be fine. Our baby has kicked me a lot recently, especially in the morning.”

She lightly frowns. Looking at her water like eyes, Bryant shows his tender care for her. He lightly touches her belly. “Naughty boy, how can you kick you mom?”

Susan watches Bryant smiling, and the sense of smile in her eyes gradually turns into worried.

She sighs.

Bryant is then noticed that. He asks, “what’s wrong, Susan?”

She holds Bryant’s hands and replies, “I’m so scared!” She looks like a docile cat. Bryant can’t help holding her in his arms again. “Why are you scared?”

“I had a nightmare last night. I dreamed that your wife knew the truth and drove both me and our baby away. She even threatened to kill our baby. I...” Susan says, with her eyes turning red. She chocks with sobs, “I’m really afraid that we’ll have to sleep on the street. It’s OK for me, but I don’t want our baby to suffer.”

“Honey, I’m really scared.” She adds.

She keeps calling Bryant honey, making his soul almost be hooked away by her. Bryant immediately comforts her with a soft tone. “Silly girl, I’m here, you know? You have me, you don’t have to worry about that.”

“But you have to go to the company. You can’t protect me and our baby all day long. Now I almost don’t dare to go out. You know, your wife is so fierce. In case...” Susan starts to cry.

Bryant thinks for a while. He wipes her tears away and says, “how about I buy you a house in Binhai city? I think it’s safer for you to leave here.”
