Chapter 799 The Cons Of Having A Charming Wife

"Uncle, thank you so much for coming here. I know you didn't have to report to work for my father at this hour,"

Steven said as he stood against the wall with one hand in his pocket. Then, he walked towards Secretary Liu.

"You don't have to thank me. It's my duty to do this,"

Secretary Liu said with a smile while he waved his hand to dismiss Steven's passive apology.

Steven walked up to him a little closer and smiled back. He then said, "I heard that you're conducting an investigation on the AJ Group. How's that going so far?"

Secretary Liu didn't expect that Steven would ask him about it. He paused for a while before saying, "Sir Steven, I didn't know that you would be so interested in it."

"Oh, I just asked because I recently heard about it and I was a little curious. So, is it that serious?"

Steven immediately explained. He was afraid that Secretary Liu might get suspicious.

The AJ Group was known to every household in JA City, so the news spread very quickly and easily. In less than a day, everyone was talking about it.

"In fact, it might actually get serious. But it all depends on what the plaintiff is going to do. You see, we don't have the complete information yet,"

Secretary Liu answered, still with a smile on his face.

The secretary was not a fool, however. He had heard that the wife of the AJ Group's President had some sort of relationship with Steven. He could only guess that might be the reason why Steven was so concerned about this accident.

"Well, thank you very much for your help, Uncle," Steven said.

"If there's nothing else that you need, I'll be going. I'm just a call away if you need me again,"

Secretary Liu said. Then, he nodded at Steven with a smile.

"Drive safely, Uncle,"

Steven said as he waved at the man.

When he saw that Secretary Liu had left the premises, Steven's smile faded. Then he turned around and went back to his room.

When he was finally alone in his room, Steven took out his phone and swiped through his contact list while he checked the time. It was pretty early, so he figured that Carla might still be awake.

After hesitating for a while, he dialed the number.

Meanwhile, back at the Seaview Villa, it had just turned nine o'clock.

Carla had just finished washing her face and brushing her teeth, in preparation for bed. These days, she had been used to sleeping

while she tried to avoid Terence's stares. In fact, she didn't have any reason to feel guilty. She didn't do anything that would be considered as cheating.

But she just didn't want to tell him everything. She needed some personal privacy about the matter.

"Is that so? He gave you the painting and now he wants it back? What the hell was he thinking? Is he just trying to ask you out on purpose?"

Terence looked at Carla while he analyzed the situation for her. Steven was ten years younger than him. Hence, Steven was indeed way younger than Terence but he seemed like a popular young man that women would have a crush on nowadays.

But who could Terence blame? His wife was so charming.

She was already a mother of a beautiful girl with another child on the way, but there was still a young man chasing after her, which proved that he had good taste.

While Terence was thinking about the situation carefully, Carla remained silent.

She just stared at his husband. After a while, she said, "If you want me to go, then I'll go. If you don't want me to go, then I won't go. Just tell it to me straight, Terence."

"Go ahead. I don't have any objection that you're going to meet with that man. I guess he doesn't know that you're going to remarry me, right? Go and tell him,"

Terence said. He suddenly seemed fine with this whole thing. He would have been more convincing, however, if he didn't put emphasis on "that man". He then leaned against the bed, resting his head on his arm.

"And I'm actually free tomorrow. I'm not sure but maybe we could run into each other."
