Chapter 41 She Is Adorably Cute

When Walter returned, Jonathan was giving his instructions to the butler regarding breakfast the next day. “Mich loves omelet. Also, prepare some mushroom soup. She’s too skinny, so it’s a must to ensure she gets a nutritious and well-balanced diet.”

“Got it, Mr. Xander!” the butler answered with a broad grin.

Who says Mr. Xander doesn’t know how to care about others? It’s just that he hasn’t met the right one before this! Isn’t he doing great now?

After the butler left, Walter approached and asked in a low voice, “Mr. Xander, Mr. Zack has left. I’m afraid Lucille would never dream that you would be able to find the pinhole camera. But she has her alert high up too, and that’s why she managed to escape from the clutches of our men and hurt Ms. Michaela.”

At the mention of the incident earlier that day, a frown instantly formed between Jonathan’s eyebrows. A cold glint flashed across his eyes, and there was a hint of aloofness in his icy voice. “Do you have everything ready?”

 

“I’ve obtained the surveillance footage of Lucille meeting up with the representatives from the magazine company. However, I can’t hear their conversation.”

“That’s enough,” Jonathan said slowly. “Get someone to work on it. I want to see results by tomorrow morning.”

 

“Yes, Mr. Xander!” Walter agreed.

He knew very well that Jonathan was not a kind person. Barely anyone could escape his clutches if he secretly wanted to teach someone a lesson.

At the thought of that, Walter’s lips curled. “About Lucille…”

“There’s no need to be bothered about that anymore. No matter how much of a ruckus she caused, it’ll never amount to anything.”

There was barely any expression on Jonathan’s face, yet his sharp gaze alone was enough to send a chill down everyone’s spine.

That Lucille is totally shooting her own legs. She’s on the way to seek her death! Walter scoffed as he secretly mourned and prayed for her.

Right then, they heard footsteps coming their way. Looking in the direction, Gary walked in with a blank face and stopped right before Jonathan. “Mr. Xander, I’m sorry for the oversight today. I failed to protect Ms. Lingard. Please punish as you deem fit, Mr. Xander!”

Gary was riddled with guilt ever since the incident occurred, and that pang of guilt was even more apparent on his face at that point.

He dared not picture what would happen then if Jonathan did not arrive in time.
