novelxo Chapter 1761
"Then I wish you the best, Mr. Hefner. Don't regret the things that you've done." After saying that, Zelson smiled, stepped back into the room, and shut the door in Jefferson's face politely. Jefferson was speechless.
It seemed that he had to teach these people a good lesson. Otherwise, none of them would take him seriously.
He took out his mobile phone and dialed someone's number, ordering the person on the phone, "Ask Jarred to send me the documents from tonight's murder case."
After that, he hung up.
Soon, he received a text with Jarred's contact information and a message, "I have already spoken to Jarred about it. You can contact him if you need any documents. He should be able to cooperate with you." D*mn, what did that mean? Jefferson wondered.
Although Jefferson was offended, he still made the call. The other party picked it up very soon and greeted him politely, "Hello." "I'm Jefferson Hefner. Send me the documents from tonight's murder," Jefferson said.
Jarred hesitated a little. "Mr. Hefner, although..."
"I don't want to hear any nonsense. Send me the documents right now, or get your people to send it to me. I'll give you ten minutes. When the time is up, I won't listen to any of your excuses," Jefferson growled.
Once again, he hung up right away.
Not long after, his phone's notification tone sounded. Jarred had sent the documents to his mailbox. There was a remark at the end of it. "Mr. Hefner, this case is related to the murder of Mr. and Mrs. Carter two years ago. Please keep it a secret from Miss Adrienne."
"D*mn it. I'm not dumb. I don't need you to remind me," Jefferson cursed in his heart.
Without further delay, Jefferson turned back to the room and opened the door. He saw Adrienne sitting on the bed on her phone, not knowing what she was looking at. He took a glance at her and said, "Little Specky, you're not only physically blind without your glasses but also emotionally blind."
Adrienne really didn't want to talk to him at all. When she heard his voice, it annoyed her. And when she saw him, she wanted to beat him up. If she continued staying with him, she guaranteed that he would drive her crazy.
"What's wrong? Have you turned deaf too?" Jefferson asked. He walked up to her and grabbed the phone from her hand. Adrienne was pissed; she grabbed the pillow and threw it at him. She asked, "Jefferson, was I your mortal enemy in a past life? Why do you torture me like this?"
"Because it makes me happy!" Jefferson answered. The answer could not be any simpler than that. Adrienne heard it almost every day, but every time she heard it, she would almost explode with rage. "Jefferson, I warning you, give me back my phone right now, or I will make you suffer."
"How are you going to make me suffer?" Jefferson asked. He opened her WhatsApp and went to her settings, and unblocked his own WhatsApp ID from viewing her status update. "Adrienne, if you dare to hide your online statuses from me again, I will definitely delete all your contacts."
Adrienne said, "Give me back my phone."
Jefferson threw it back to her and reminded her, "You'd better keep that in mind!"
Adrienne grabbed the phone and glared at him furiously. "Jefferson, tell me what you want me to do for you to not pester me and torture me." "You're the one who started it; you have to take responsibility for it until the end." Seeing Adrienne's infuriated look, Jefferson seemed overjoyed and smiled smugly, "Little Specky, go to bed. I've got things to do, so I'll stop playing with you."
Playing with her? Adrienne thought.
In short, he was just messing with her.
Adrienne knew that she was just a toy in Jefferson's mind. Whether it was fun or not playing with her, he had branded her as his. As long as he did not say that he didn't want the toy, no one could take it away from him.
"B*stard!" Adrienne was so frustrated that she swore loudly. However, Jefferson sat at one side of the room and ignored her. Seeing him like that, Adrienne felt hatred swelling in her heart. If she were a vampire, she would suck out all his blood and kill him so that he'd never hurt anyone again.
"Little Specky, if you can't sleep, get up and make me a cup of coffee. Don't gnash your teeth there," Jefferson commanded. If Adrienne hadn't been watching him looking at his phone with his head down, she would have suspected that he was staring at her for him to know that she was gnashing her teeth in hatred.
Make him a cup of coffee? In his dreams. However, she would be very interested in making a cup of poison for him.
"If you bring me a cup of poison, you'll be charged with murdering your husband. Although you won't be sentenced to death for this crime, you'll be sentenced to life imprisonment. It's not worth it for a b*stard like me." As Jefferson looked through the document, he still threw her a bone and started conversing with her.
Adrienne replied, "Oh, so you know that you're a b*stard. At least you still know yourself well enough."
"I know very well what I am to you," Jefferson said. As he spoke, he glanced at the evidence column on the document. The first item on it was, "The victim held a torn note tightly in his hand and there were three words written on it -'The murderer is".".
That note in the victim's hand was likely to reveal the murderer of Adrienne's parents at Winey Farm two years ago. But at present, there was only half of the note left, indicating that the murderer had destroyed the key part on the other half of the note. They had lost the most important evidence.
Jefferson was a little irritated.
In fact, in the past two years, it wasn't only Adrienne who had been investigating her parents' murder case. Jefferson had also been investigating for two years. However, even with his connections, he did not find any clues or evidence that would help. That day, he finally got a clue, but it was snatched away at the last moment. It seemed that he would have to put in more effort again.
At that, Jefferson looked in Adrienne's direction. Seeing that she was going through her mobile phone, he didn't even have to look at her screen to know that she was also looking for clues.
She was a forensic doctor; she definitely knew that evidence was easily destroyed on rainy days. Moreover, the murderer came prepared; there was no useful evidence left at the crime scene. To find the murderer was a monumental task, but she still took it on diligently.
While Jefferson was looking at her, Adrienne looked up all of a sudden and said, "Jeff, I have a question for you."
Her gaze was shining with excitement; she had called him Jeff while she was awake. It seemed that she had found something. Seeing her in good spirits, Jefferson was thrilled too. "If you have anything to ask, just ask. I'm in a good mood, and I'll answer you as long as I have the answer."
Adrienne waved at him and said, "Come here."
With a single wave of hers, Jefferson ran to her like a pet dog. All that was left was for him to pant with his tongue out and bark.
He sat down beside her and leaned on her shoulder deliberately, asking, "What do you want, calling me over here?"
Adrienne handed her mobile phone to him. "Look at this."
She was beside him and almost half of her body was in his arms. He could smell her unique womanly scent. It enthralled him for a moment. How could his Little Specky be so fragrant?
She was like an aromatic roast turkey, while he was a starving dog that had not eaten in days. He was so famished that he wanted to devour her whole.
