Chapter 576 - The Search for Evidence

J and Jacob returned back to the Loghouse and J was not surprised that everyone didn't come to look for them. It turns out that Jacob has planned everything out and everyone except her knows about it.

They were immediately meet by James and Arthur.

"Happy birthday, Miss J," James said with a smile although the greeting was late he thought that is was better late than never.

"Thank you, James. Happy birthday to your mom as well." J replied with a small smile.

"I will. Thank you." James nodded his head. Then he turned to look at Jacob, he is anticipating that Jacob has a lot of questions to ask and he was right.

"How's everything?" Jacob questioned him.

James started to report about the CLP Group of Hospitals to Jacob. Although he was only gone for one day, Jacob doesn't want to miss out on anything with regards to the hospitals or Twelve Army.

J sensed that it was going to be a long talk so she decided to go first.

"I'll go first," J said to Jacob which he replied with a nod and a kiss on her temple. J finds him sweet every time he does that and she loves it.

"Where's mom and dad?" She turned and asked Arthur.

"They are in the office." He replied sternly.

"Okay."

She walked upstairs and noticed that Arthur was following her. He was just doing his job, she thought but he cannot just follow her everywhere. So, she turned and say, "I'm just going to take a shower. I'll meet you at my dad's office." J gave her an order trying hard not to sound intimidating.

She has been trying to sound and act pleasing but only to the people that she cares and that includes Arthur or his team.

After an hour taking a shower, J came out of the room with blue-washed skinny jeans and an oversized white pullover. Her hair is still slightly damp but she is not in the mood to blow dry her hair.

She met Jacob on the doorstep of their bedroom.

"You're done?" She asked talking about his talk with James.

"Yes." Jacob nodded his head with a slight frown looking at her hair. She looked sexy with wet hair but he was worried that due to the cold weather, she might get cold.

J already know what he was thinking so she averted her gaze and tried to quickly get away from him. "I'll be just in dad's office." She said then she's gone.

She was sure that she will get a good scolding from him if she stayed a little longer. Ever since they lived together, Jacob would always urge her to dry her hair, but he knew that she was too lazy to do it with a blow dryer or a towel. So most of the time, he is the one doing it for her.

If they have time, he will use a towel because he knows that she hates to blow-drying her hair. But if they are running out of time, he has no choice but to blow dry it.

J knocks on the door first before entering her father's office.

She was surprised to see Mark Sloane sitting on the brown leather tufted sofa with Madam Victoria in front of him.

Her father is sitting behind his office desk with Peter not far from him.

She saw Leo sitting in an armchair near the glass door of the balcony while Arthur is standing near the door, probably waiting for her.

They were all eyes on the TV screen that is mounted on the top of the fireplace.

"Good morning, sweetheart. Come here." Madam Victoria greeted her and pat the space beside her.

"Good morning, mom. Good morning, dad." She said walking towards them.

She sits beside Madam Victoria. So, what's going on? She thought to herself when she noticed that everyone's face is stern while watching the TV.

That's when she noticed the live screening of Secretary Philipp Eke along with other government and police officials searching Mr. Steve Gold's company office and his mansion all at once.

Apparently, a search warrant was issued earlier granting Secretary Eke and the investigating team to search Mr. Gold's office and mansion for evidence that involving him and numerous government officials in the current scandal.

Mr. Gold and his associates were confident that they would found nothing because they had already destroyed all the evidence.

The government officials involved in it had put their faith in him. Although they cannot do anything about the money that they lost, they cannot lose their reputation and their position as well.
