Chapter 134 - You ask, I'll ask

"I'm not surprised. We can't read him either after a couple of years being in a team." Felix said. Arthur gave him a cold stare.

"You know what, Miss J you amuse me. I haven't met anyone as observant as you. But since when did you found out?" Felix continued talking.

"Almost two weeks now... " J replied looking at the wall clock. Any moment Jacob should arrive now.

"Urgh... that means we are hiding for nothing. What a waste of Daniel's strategy and our effort." Felix was about to say something but was stopped midair after receiving a glare from Arthur and Daniel.

There was cold silence in the living room, Felix seemed to be unease. He is most uncomfortable when put into silence specially if his curiosity is getting the nerve out of him. Arthur was silently studying J, his face was emotionless but his thoughts were running wild. He had watched over and guarded elites and heiress before but never had he encountered an heiress like her. While most of them tend to be spoiled, egocentric and illogical, this girl is anything but ordinary. At first glance, she is quite intimidating, but she is quiet, reserved and bright. She is logical and wise, an excellent analyst. She will be an excellent leader of the Robin Hood Society someday. Arthur thought to himself.

After a while, they heard the sound of Jacob's SUV entering the compound of the villa. Jacob was anxious, agitated and at the same time furious. He sends a four-man team to watch over his wife yet no one would answer his call. Even his wife didn't answer her phone which is obviously still on.

With a clenched jaw, he anxiously gets out of his SUV not able to park it properly followed by James. They entered an exceptionally quiet villa. He looked around to find any unwanted presence but he can't find any. Apart from the villa being normally quiet, the house looks organized just how he left this morning.

He walked around, and when he reached the living area, he was startled to see Arthur and his team face to face with his wife. And they were all looking at his direction anticipating his arrival. He regained his composure and looked at his wife with a raised eyebrow. What is the meaning of this?

"I hope you don't mind, I invited your friends in," J said with a smirk emphasizing the word friend.

With lips partially opened Jacob narrowed his eyes towards Arthur then turn to J and said, "Let's talk." he turned around and walked towards the bedroom. J who seemed to understand that Jacob wanted her to follow him stand up from her seat and quietly followed him.

Inside the bedroom, Jacob stared at J, while J equally stared at Jacob.

Jacob sighed before saying, "Okay, you ask me questions then I'll ask you questions. How about that?"

J raised her right brows. What? Are we playing games now?

But then after a couple of minutes just staring at each other, J opened her mouth then asked, "What do you know about me?"

Jacob smiled. As expected, J already had her suspicions. It's just time to get to know each other. Jacob thought. After all, it would be easier to protect her if she knows that he already knew her identity. Watching over her from the shadow might not be necessary.
