Loveless Marriage

Changed His Surname

"Christian, have you eaten breakfast? I made it in the morning." Lexie stood by the CEO's office door

with a thermal insulation box in hand. Her docile and obedient appearance was filled with anticipation.

"I've already eaten. You eat it by yourself." Lexie said.

Lexie clenched her five fingers tightly. Even though she was unwilling, she still did not reveal a single

bit of it.

She carried the lunchbox and turned to look at the man who had already sat down and started to

worked. She then asked hesitantly: "Christian, are you still mad about last night?"

Christian turned on his laptop. He wore a neatly dressed suit today, and now sat there with a noble and

cold look on his face.

Without even looking at her, he calmly said. "It has nothing to do with you. Go back to work."

Lexie's eyes flashed with a strange look. She pursed her red lips, suddenly walked to the front of the

desk and said: "You suddenly resigned from Jafari Hand. Why?"

He could not resign an executive for no reason. As the CEO, he had to give the company's top

executives a reasonable explanation.

All the employees of Polygon Group was informed of this by email early in the morning.

Christian tapped his fingers on the keyboard and said casually, "You don't understand what I meant in

the email?"

Lexie frowned and asked: "It says that he abused his authority, and that for his own interests, he

illegally leaked out the company's secrets...Why did this happen all of sudden? I mean, no matter what,

he is still an old staff of our company. Aren't you afraid of hurt others' feelings if you just drive him away

like that?"

As an employee of the Polygon Group, everyone had the right to ask questions, which was a human

right. Hearing Lexie's question, Christian didn't look impatient at all. He was just expressionless, and

his tone was even more casual.

"How are you so sure it was sudden?"

Lexie's face changed slightly.

Not suddenly?

So he had started investigation in secret?

Fear suddenly surged out from her heart. Did he discover something between Jafari and her...?

She only knew that there was no more news about Jafari after he was sent to the Police yesterday, and

she was told that she had no right to visit him. At that time, she thought that it was only an attempted

adultery which wasn't a huge crime. So why she couldn't visit him?

Lexie's face gradually turned pale.

As if he didn't see this, Christian dialled a number as he said, "Regarding this matter, there will be Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

detailed documents be released in the future. You can go back first."

Lexie then went back to her senses as she nodded frantically, "Oh... Alright, I'll go back first."

After exiting the office, her face completely lost all colour. She stood at the door for a few seconds with

a flustered expression, and then she quickly walked towards the observation deck.

It was a sunny day, and the morning wind was blowing through her curly hair. But Lexie's expression

did not reveal any comfort, only panic and a faint sense of anxiety. She then made a phone call.

After the phone was connected, she anxiously said in a low voice: "Dad, something has happened. As

for Jafari's matter, please don't let anyone defend or visit him. Just don't forget about this thing at all."

"…"

Then she took a deep breath and mumbled in a hoarse voice, "Um... He has already discovered

something since long ago that even I didn't know. Right now, things are completely out of my control

and I don't know what to do. Now I'll try to contact Jafari as soon as possible... Only if he doesn't say

anything, we'll be okay. "

She thought Jafari would only stay in jail for a few days, and after that he could find a random job under

her father's command when he came out.

Christian made her scared.

Lexie's heart had mixed feelings now. She hated and loved that man at the same time.

After her father finished his words, Lexie nodded, "Okay, I know. Alright, I won't say more. Be more

careful over there. I'll hang up now."

In CEO office, Christian received a call from Canon.

"Hello."

He used the remote control to open the curtain and slowly got up. He then walked to the window.

"Mr. Miller, last time Miss Jones had an car accident in Liverpool, and I found some information. That

car was already scrapped, the license plate of the car was also changed. It was not the same person

who was actually driving the car, but he disguised himself as the same person, just to confuse us."

"Did you find him?" Christian's voice was low and calm as usual.

"I only found one, it was an taxi driver. He said that it was a guest and he only did what he was told to. I

don't know anything else, but I think the guest should be who tried to hit her."

Christian's face darkened. He said: "According to the route the taxi, we have to know who the person is

from the surveillance."

"Okay." Canon replied lightly.

Just as Christian was about to hang up, Canon suddenly added: "You asked me to investigate Minh,

and this person is a little strange... . His neighbours told me that he moved in half a year ago, and it

seems like he just came back from overseas."

Christian listened to him quietly. After a few seconds of silence, he asked: "After he came back, he

straightly went to Benton?"

Judging by his age, he should have just graduated from his uni.

"I haven't confirmed this yet. I asked a friend to look up his flight information. For the past year, there

was no one surnamed Johnson and from Liverpool on the international flights. I think he even changed

his name after he came back."

Christian's apathetic expression suddenly revealed a cold smile, "That's interesting. He even changed

his surname. Is there anyone else in his family? "

"No, I can't find any other people who have connections with him for the time being."

Christian's face darkened even more. After a moment of silence, he said, "Keep watching, and thanks

for your effort."

"No problem." Canon never said anything unnecessary. After he finished speaking, he hung up.

Christian slowly put down his phone. Looking at the building across the street, he revealed a

complicated expression on his face.

Noon, Isabella was done with her work. Looking at the time, she gently asked Rachel, "Are you

hungry?"
