Chapter 234 - Having an affair

J crossed her arms in front of her chest and raised one of her brows.

"During our days at the Parker Mansion and Lodgepole, you were spending extra hour on the phone and having video conference behind my back. Why would you do it secretly if it was only about the hospital or Twelve Army unless it is something about me or you were having an affair." J said casually while Jacob laughed at her last word.

"Yesterday, you said that you were going to pull out Diana on her mission. You wouldn't do that unless you find Food Corp innocent or you find the real culprit."

"Last night, you told Lance to meet you at the headquarters. Last time I remember, you told him to stay away from us as much as possible."

"Then today, you sent Felix and Stefan over at Evergreen. Wasn't Felix supposed to be spying over the Food Corp and Crocus Offshore Oil Rig? And where is Arthur?"

"Therefore, I assumed that you find the culprit, you detained him here with Arthur and Daniel watching over him while you asked Lance to come over here to help with the investigation. Am I right?" J said nonchalantly.

Jacob was impressed. This past few days, he has been careful not to give his wife any idea. But he underestimated his wife's detective skills.

"If I told you that your thoughts were wrong, you would judge me of having an affair. And that is not right. Why would you think me of that way?" Jacob said sounding that he was wronged.

J raised her brow, not affected at all. "Why? You said you were a lady's man. Do you think that I believe you would stick with only me forever?" thou J said that casually, she still felt a thousand needle pricks in her heart.

Jacob's expression turned grim. He never thought that his wife still doubted him.

J noticed the change in Jacob's temper so she cleared her throat and said, "Take me to him. I want to see him."

Jacob didn't say anything. He turns around and walked out of the office. J silently followed him. The two of them silently walked out of the building with certain distance between them, they were followed by James and Stefan.

They went inside another building and take the elevator to the basement. Finally, they reach a room, James opened the room, Jacob let her in before he and Stefan followed. Inside there were various equipment and computers operated by Daniel and Lance. On one side of the room is a wide one-way glass mirror where they can see what is happening on the other room.

Jacob gave her a chair then he sits beside her. She looked at the persons on the other room. Inside was Arthur sitting on a chair with a laptop in front of him while on the farthest side of the long table opposite him is a masculine man. J looked at the man and studied him.

She stood up and take a closer look while Jacob is observing her every action and expression.

"He is a member of Novus Rex. Not just a member. He is a group leader. He is not paid to do the job. If someone would hire them to do the job, the group leader will just order one of his lackeys to do the job. He will never do it personally." After saying that, her brows furrowed. Did she do something to catch the attention of Novus Rex?
