Book:Mr. Brown's Sweet Wife Published:2024-5-28

Logan Brown suddenly fell silent, and then could not help but sneer out, “Since he is so arrogant, he might as well find out and have a good meeting!”
He was curious as to who was so capable that he dared to provoke him in such a positive manner.
“I’m already working on the investigation, I believe we’ll have some news soon, so there’s no need to worry, sir.”
Logan Brown sat in the passenger seat with a calm look on his face, “Worried? I don’t have anything to worry about, it’s just that Elena can’t let go.”
She had never understood the world and was afraid that recklessness would lead to something.
“Sir ……” Jacob hesitated and couldn’t help but say, “Edward Ford and I met today, I didn’t know about it.”
“Hmm?”
“It is true, as sir said, that Edward Ford wanted to take me away and also to get me away from you to throw myself into his wold.”
“In that case, what do you think?” Logan Brown asked, sniffing and getting to the point.
Jacob immediately bowed his head and said firmly, “I’m naturally on Mister’s side, and I’ll …… do the same no matter what he says or how much he offers me.”
“Jacob .”
He interrupted, the colour of his eyes growing deeper underneath, “And if I say that I want you to leave?”
“Sir!” Jacob had a flash of trepidation, “I’ve never had second thoughts about you, you can’t get rid of me and I ……”
“Let’s talk about this another time.” The man’s face went cold and he did not continue to bring it up.
Jacob could not guess his mood and only lowered his eyes.
“Go to the office first.” He said.
“Yes.”
Jacob wordlessly started the car and headed straight for KL.
As he got out of the car, Jacob habitually went around to the other side of the car and opened the door for him. Logan Brown gave him a sidelong glance and said with a helpless soft sigh, “Jacob, you must always remember that you are now KL’s vice president, not my assistant.”
“Sir ……”
Jacob gave him an uncertain look, “Sir is it that you don’t need me anymore?”
“No.” He shook his head, his gaze like a torch, “I want you to understand that I am Logan Brown and you are Jacob!”
There was no difference between them, and he, who always seemed to put him on top, but he knew to himself that he had nothing to make him aspire to.
Jacob looked at him, unsure of the meaning, “I still don’t understand what sir .”
“What I need is not for you to understand, but for you to comprehend.”
“But sir, isn’t that the same thing?”
Jacob was good at everything else but being too insistent, Logan Brown nearly vomited blood at his anger and said with a helpless sigh, “You will understand later, as for you and Edward Ford, I will tell you what to do later.”
Jacob nodded, taking it to heart, “Yes, I’ll go and investigate the package first then.”
“Go on.”
Logan Brown answered and disappeared from his view with a steady stride.
Jacob watched his distant figure and couldn’t help but lower his eyes, revealing a preoccupation that was unreadable.
The express message, Jacob suspected for a moment that it was Edward Ford, only for that answer to be immediately dismissed when it reached Logan Brown, “Edward Ford is trying to pick up Elena, not force her back in this way.”
What he wanted was for her to die to the Browns and to him, not to make her hate him more.
Jacob turned on his heels for a moment at his words, “But who else would want to harm Madame? besides Edward Ford?”
As far as he knew, Elena Bush’s nature seldom provoked anyone, much less someone who would express such a curse to the family.
“No leads other than Edward Ford?” Logan Brown’s brow furrowed slightly, clearly not feeling so.
“Not sure yet, the courier company says they didn’t deliver the package, so it stands to reason that it would have been delivered personally by the person who was intent on terrorising Madame, except I can’t see that person’s face on the surveillance.”
“Give me the surveillance.”
Jacob immediately turned on the penlight he had with him and quickly clicked the video on, “The man was wearing a duck-tongue hat and a mask, the doorman struck up a conversation then, originally suspecting he wasn’t a courier, just a few words and he was muddled through.”
It was only after that that the package was left behind and he left.
Logan Brown looked at the man in the CCTV and had a vague feeling of familiarity, but couldn’t quite make out the person above him.
“It looks like a man, and besides, with a somewhat bent back and white sideburns, it’s probably a middle-aged man of advanced age.” He examined it carefully, and at the end said slowly.
“Middle-aged men?” Jacob was suddenly even more confused, “But Madame shouldn’t know any middle-aged men either.”
Logan Brown tightened his brow, hit the pause button and pointed to the man on the screen and said in a deep voice, “Check the nearby surveillance to see how he came and left, I need to know where this man is going!”
“Yes!”
Jacob responded quickly.
Logan Brown’s body leaned back, obviously a little tired.
Jacob looked at him carefully for a moment, then said worriedly, “Sir, you haven’t been able to rest properly even though you’ve been working on the Fords Group overnight without the madame’s knowledge for the past few days, now if you’re tired, go and lie down in the lounge for a while, I can call you when you’re half an hour old.”
“No need.” He rubbed his sore brow, “It’s just that I’ve been distracted by all this trivial stuff, that’s why I’m feeling a bit tired for a while.”
Many things seemed to be out of his control, making him a little overwhelmed, but if he made a slight mistake, he would lose the battle, which was why he could not take it lightly any more, and why he had to resolve the intimidating events in this more quickly, lest he be tripped up later.
Jacob hesitated for a moment, but when he saw his determination, he had to take back all his words of persuasion, “The Brown Group, Edward Ford has been contacting Mr Scott recently, and must be trying to play the emotional card with him.”
Logan Brown said quietly, “Have you made an offer yet?”
“Not yet.”
“Well, let’s just keep going, he’s got the luxury and we’ll go along with it.”
Jacob nodded knowingly, “Yes, and I told Mr Scott to be careful on his end too, lest Edward Ford gets annoyed when he knows he’s been played.”
At that, Logan Brown let out a low chuckle, his stern gaze falling on him, “Jacob, you’re the one who should be more concerned right now, after all, Edward Ford is putting the Brown Group first, and this second… . but it’s you.”
Jacob gave an embarrassed look, “Edward Ford is just trying to trick me, sir, don’t take it seriously.”
“Why not?” The bottom of the man’s eyes glowed with a brilliant light, confident and arrogant, “I brought my own people out myself, don’t I trust you with this?”
