My Husband, Warm The Bed

Chapter 1746

After handing in the report, Adrienne went over to Zelson's office and apologized, "Mr. Zelson, I'm really sorry about what just happened! Jefferson has been spoiled since young, so he doesn't know his place sometimes. He really isn't a bad person."

Adrienne was apologetic on behalf of Jefferson again. Perhaps, even she herself did not know her reasons behind doing so. But Zelson, as an onlooker, could see clearly that Adrienne had regarded herself as someone under Jefferson.

However, what right did Jefferson have to let Adrienne protect him like this?

A wave of anger rose in Zelson's heart, but he hid it very well. He still remained calm and said, "Adrienne, why are you apologizing for him? You and he are just acquaintances, nothing special. What he did has nothing to do with you."

"Actually, Jefferson and I are..."

Before she could say they were married, Zelson interrupted her, "Adrienne, concentrate on your work when you are working. Don't allow yourself to get distracted from your

tasks because of someone else."

"Sorry, Mr. Zelson!"

Adrienne buried herself in work all the way until nighttime. She had no time to go home, so naturally, she had no time to pay attention to what Jefferson was up to either.

In the morning, during breakfast, news broke out that not only had the headless female corpses case not been solved yet, there were also more cases showing up. A special investigation team was set up to solve the case, and the team members were assigned personally by the city's municipal office.

Before the team had arrived, the Paramount Criminal Police Team was already discussing it, "Sergeant Scott, the superiors have sent someone over to take charge of the case. It's clear that they're unsatisfied with your work."

Quill scolded, "Don't talk nonsense. If I could solve the case, would they need to send someone else over?"

Quill was a capable man, but he knew his limits. Until this moment, there were no leads on this case, so the superiors had sent a more experienced person to take the lead in this case. As long as they could solve the case as soon as possible, Quill had no objection.

Not just that, he was so welcoming that he

brought the entire team, including the forensic department as well as the others, to stand in a row neatly by the entrance. They stood there to get ready to welcome their new leader.

Zelson didn't care much about this matter. No matter who was sent to take charge of the work, he always dealt with the dead and handled his own work well.

Although Adrienne's work was arranged by Zelson, she was still young after all. She was still interested in the new supervisor who was about to arrive. She stood at the back of the crowd and craned her neck to look at the door.

"Someone is coming," shouted someone in the crowd.

Everyone turned their gazes to the door at the same time. Immediately, everyone inhaled a sharp gust of air. Wasn't this that man who caused a huge commotion in the station just a few days ago?

Adrienne watched him walk in perplexedly.

"Why is this guy here again?" she thought.

Adrienne instinctively wanted to step forward to stop Jefferson, but Zelson cleared his throat beside her, which stopped her in her tracks. She turned her head to look at Jefferson worriedly.

As usual, Jefferson walked in arrogantly, as if he was afraid that no one would recognize him. The difference was that he was wearing a police uniform that day, which made him look... sexy!

Adrienne was frightened by the thought that came into her mind. How could she think of such a description for Jefferson? It was not as if she didn't know what kind of person he was.

"How could I!" she exclaimed inwardly.

While Adrienne was imagining things, Quill immediately stepped forward and greeted, "Captain Hefner, welcome!"

Jefferson strode over, but he ignored Quill and the others who welcomed him warmly and went straight to Adrienne's side. He put one hand on her shoulder and teased, "Little Specky, we're going to work together."

"You?" It wasn't that Adrienne looked down on him, but how did someone who had never done anything serious become the highest-ranking supervisor of this special investigation team as soon as he arrived?

In the blink of an eye, he had gone from a prime suspect to an investigator!

"What kind of bullsh*t is this?" Adrienne wondered.

Holding Adrienne in his arms, Jefferson looked casually at the others and informed, "I was sent by the higher-ups to take charge of this case. I'm not here for a show. Quill, assemble all the relevant employees and hold a meeting. I want a rundown of all the details in this case."

Adrienne regained her senses. She swatted away the hand on her shoulder and hid behind Zelson. Immediately, she felt the glare of Jefferson on her. Surprisingly, however, this was one of the rare times he did not make a scene.

In the conference room.

As the person in charge of the case from the beginning, Quill knew all the present clues best, so he explained them all over. After he finished, he looked at Jefferson and concluded, "Captain Hefner, that are all the clues we have at present."

Jefferson crossed his legs dramatically and did not respond to Quill right away. Instead, he looked at everyone present and then asked slowly, "Is there anything else that needs to be added?"

No one responded.

Rolling his eyes, Jefferson looked at Zelson and asked, "Dr. Jacob, have you found any more promising clues in forensics?"

"Not yet."

Jefferson smiled and turned his eyes to Adrienne, who was next to Zelson. "Dr. Carter, what about you?"

Adrienne really wanted to say, "Mr. Hefner, this is a workplace. This is a huge case involving multiple people's lives and it's not for you to come here and f*ck around. Please be more serious."

However, she was still polite to him. She answered, "No, Captain Hefner. I haven't found anything for now."

Jefferson suddenly got up and kicked away his chair. "Then, what are you all sitting around here on your butts for? Waiting for the murderer to show up at our door?"

Everyone was silent.

As usual, his temper was explosive.

"Dr. Jacob, please go back and re-examine the body to make sure you didn't miss anything," Jefferson ordered. "Quill, bring a few men along with Dr. Carter, well head to the crime scene together."

Zelson had always been in charge of Adrienne's work. Yet, as soon as Jefferson came, he took over that responsibility. Nevertheless, Zelson still did not say a word.

Adrienne didn't think too much about it either. After all, they were both her superiors. She just did as she was told.

In terms of relationships, Adrienne was as dull as ditchwater. But in her work, she was very sharp. Zelson kept her by his side purely because of her hard work and talent.

Rachel, Adrienne's mother, had been a forensic doctor too. Hodge had always felt like this wasn't a career for women, so he tried his best to stop Adrienne from pursuing it. But after all he did, Adrienne still ended up in the profession.

On the way to the scene, Jefferson drove a special car allocated for him by the police station. He saw Adrienne getting into another car and instructed, "Dr. Carter, you come with me. Tell me the details of the case on the way." Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

Since it was for work, Adrienne had no reason to object. Moreover, she didn't think of anything else, anyway.

She obediently sat in Jefferson's front passenger seat. After the car started, she started listing out the details of the case. Unexpectedly. Jefferson rudely interjected, "I've already heard all this. Can't you tell me something more useful?"
