Chapter 120 A trip to B City
Chapter 120 A trip to B City
At night, Jacob reported the news he got. However, things didn’t go swimmingly. The CCTV in the restaurant was hacked by someone. The recording Bianca told them was deleted on purpose.
Logan wasn’t surprised at the result. He said, "Then get all the videos nearby. Try your best to find out who she is."
"As you requested, I will get them soon." Jacob reported.
Logan nodded, "Arrange a trip to B city tomorrow."
"Get it."
Hearing their conversation, Elena sighed, "No clue at all?"
"Not really," Logan said.
Elena frowned, showing confusion.
He patted her head slightly and said, "Don’t overthink. Go to sleep now. We are leaving for B City tomorrow."
Elena asked him, "What about you? You don’t go to sleep now?"
"I have a meeting later. I need to attend. You go to bed first." He let go of her hand.
Elena didn’t want to bother him anymore. She went to the bedroom herself while Logan and Jacob went to the study. After closing the door, Jacob said, "Mason will come here tomorrow. By the way, Emma and Jeremy are applying for divorce."
"Emma agreed to let him go?" Logan was a bit surprised. He remembered that she would rather die than divorce him."© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
"I don’t know. But she is abnormal these days. It seems that she doesn’t care about Jeremy anymore." Jacob didn’t understand how love should be, but he smelt something unusual from Emma’s change.
"It doesn’t matter at all." Logan said in a low voice, then he made a phone call to Zach, "How’s the investigation going?"
Zach got the chance to complain, "Come on! I just reported to you days ago! I need more time!"
"Well, I haven’t paid your bill." Logan said calmly and slowly.
Zach was irritated, but soon he said to Logan obsequiously, "Dear Mr. Brown, go ahead. I will tell you whatever you want to know."
"…"
"How did Mason get the money?" He asked about the money of 20 million returned to him.
Zach answered, "I’ve told you in the message. He sold the faulty goods at a high price and sold off all stock he had."
Then Logan asked, "What about the related people?"
"I’m still investigating. Come on, finding a man in this city is like looking for a needle in a haystack. What’s worse, they know little about the truth." Zach said in a discouraging tone.
"You won’t get the final payment if you couldn’t get anything useful."
Hearing his warning, Zach got into a flap, "Logan, how can you treat me like that? I am working for you! And I work so hard! Think of that!"
"You work so hard? I ask you to watch Anna, but she went back to the Lees. And she even went to my grandpa’s house to make trouble." Logan said in a serious tone, pointing out all the mistakes Zach
made.
Zach was shocked, "What? When did she go back there? I know nothing about it!"
Zach could smell Logan’s mistrust, so he tried to explain, "Come on, forgive me. I am too busy to watch her. You know, I need to do the investigation. It’s a big project, isn’t it? I really don’t know when she went to the Lees!"
"All right. Keep going. Leave her alone. She might not be back to you in such a short time." Logan rubbed his temple, saying calmly.
Zach agreed. Then he asked, "I heard that you are going to B City?"
"Yes."
"Do you intend to shun Mason? Come on, you don’t have to." He couldn’t understand it.
"No." Logan said. He wouldn’t pay any attention to such a useless man. "I just want to take a trip with Elena. She needs to relax. By the way, Grandpa might come here tomorrow."
He didn’t have any mood to mind the Lees or the Browns.
Zach laughed at him, "Wow, look at you, fleeing away!"
Logan frowned, "Shut up."
"OK, OK, I am working now! Don’t forget to pay me!" Zach yelled at him, worrying that he couldn’t hear it. However, Logan hung up the phone quickly so he didn’t hear his yelling.
The next minute, Logan received an e-mail from Zach. It was the evidence that Mason sold the faulty goods. He always took advantages of KL. And this time, he didn’t give up the chance and sold the goods to the factory.
It was risky but he could get hefty profit in a short time.
Jacob couldn’t make a decision, so he asked, "Do we need to help the Bushes? Or, just let it go?"
"Let it go. He makes the trouble, then he needs to solve it himself."
Jacob nodded. Then Logan said, "You don’t need to go with us tomorrow. Stay here for us. Those who are arranged in our company by the Browns might do something these days. Watch them."
"OK, I will." Jacob answered.
Logan encrypted the e-mail and then turned off the computer. Then both of them left the room.
Logan went back to the bedroom and took a bath first. After that, he lay beside Elena. She was awake and put an arm on his wrist.
He asked, "Still up?"
"Emm…" She rubbed her sleepy eyes softly, and said, "Not yet. I am waiting for you."
She moved and leaned on him, feeling a sense of safety.
Logan patted her back and said in a mild tone, "Good night, sleep tight."
"Emm…" She was searching a more comfortable position in his embrace. Then she felt asleep soon.
They embraced each other, as a real loving couple usually did.
The morning came. Elena was woken up by Logan. He dragged her from under the quilt. She was still dizzy. She opened her eyes, and saw his handsome face so close to her. She was a bit surprised by him.
"Emm!" She covered her face and said embarrassedly, "I haven’t washed my face…"
"It doesn’t matter. I don’t mind." Logan smiled and touched her ears slightly, which made her blush.
"But it matters to me!" She grumbled.
"What?" He couldn’t hear her clearly.
Elena shook her head and said nothing. She quickly ran to the bathroom and washed her face. Mia had prepared all the things for the trip today, so they got into the car and set off directly after breakfast.
Elena didn’t know that Mason and Grandpa George would come to their home this morning. They came to their villa right after they left the house.
Standing in front of the gate, they looked at each other without saying a word. Mia came out and told them that Logan and Elena were not at home. Then they were shocked that they should go to B City so early. They couldn’t do anything but left immediately.
