Chapter 699: I Miss You So Much
"It’s from Wendy Lynch," Simon Sutton recognized the coffee. "Why? This is just plain coffee. I even tasted it when she gave it to me, and there wasn’t any problem. Besides, she said it’s your favorite drink.""And just because she gave it to you, you let Jared drink it?" Leon Rivers grabbed Simon Sutton by the collar. "Do you have any idea you nearly killed Jared?"
Simon Sutton’s expression kept changing. "Impossible! I really tried the coffee, and I thought it was good. I’ve sneaked a few sips two or three times. If there was really something wrong, I would have been dead already..."
Simon Sutton’s face suddenly changed drastically. "Do you mean... could it be a slow-acting poison?"
He hadn’t suspected anything before, but ever since the incident at the hotel, he vaguely felt something was amiss.
"What do you think!"
"Leon Rivers." Jared Quinn interrupted, pressing the cigarette in his hand into the ashtray. "Let him go."
Simon Sutton had been with him for many years and wouldn’t harm him.
"Take care of his wounds."
Simon Sutton distanced himself a bit fearfully from Jared Quinn. "Boss... you’re now..."
"Enough." Jared Quinn replied indifferently with two words.
"That’s good, that’s good." Simon Sutton wiped his sweat but couldn’t help reminding him, "Today in the office... you lost your temper, but the Lin family is tricky now. They originally had five percent of Quinn Corporation’s shares, but in the past two days, they’ve been restless, spending a lot to acquire another ten percent from another shareholder. So now, the Lin family holds twenty percent.
That’s not all; the important thing is that they’re using this twenty percent to start causing trouble within the company."
This incident was unsurprising.
"Don’t stop them, let them continue," Jared Quinn clasped his suit. "Tell the people at the company that I won’t be coming back for a while."
"Alright."
After sending Simon Sutton off, Sila and Howard Seymour were still waiting for Melody Thorne. No matter what they said today, they would take her away.
"I’m going to the hotel with Mom and Dad," Melody Thorne turned back every few steps.
Jared Quinn felt a deep reluctance in his heart, whispering an acknowledgment as he watched her leave with Sila and Howard Seymour.
"Jared, we’re off now too," Leon Rivers also wanted to slip away.
"Where are you going?" Jared Quinn shot a cool glance. "Get ready to head to the docks."
"You want to meet Shawn Lockwood at the mob?"
"Let’s go," Jared Quinn picked up the coat from the sofa. With Melody Thorne gone, how could he possibly sleep?
Harold Chapman and Leon Rivers exchanged a glance. If someone couldn’t sleep, it seemed they wouldn’t be getting any rest either!
In the hotel suite, Sila and Howard Seymour had gone to sleep, but she just couldn’t fall asleep. Jared Quinn’s illness flared up unpredictably, and no one could foresee or stop it. When could she finally go back to sleep beside him?
[Jared Quinn, are you asleep? I can’t sleep. You should let Harold Chapman thoroughly investigate that man Wendy Lynch mentioned today. He can’t be an ordinary person.]
She waited for a while but got no response.
[Jared Quinn, are you asleep already?]
[Jared Quinn, I miss you. I can’t sleep, what should I do? I want to go back and sleep with you.]
[Bastard, I’m sleeping badly, and you’re asleep so early!]
Melody Thorne tossed her phone onto the bedside table and hugged her pillow to sleep.
...
When Jared Quinn returned from the docks, daylight was just breaking. After charging his phone, he saw so many messages from Melody Thorne. Ignoring his exhaustion, he quickly took a shower, changed his clothes, and headed downstairs.
