A Replacement Bride

Chapter 373

The night in Fontan was much colder than that in Hovington. Although Joaquin was clad in thin clothes, he didn't feel cold at all.

His eyes were as calm as a still lake, and his gaze seemed even darker than the night sky. He parted his thin lips and said impassively, "Tell your subordinates to handle this matter. Now, I want you to focus on investigating Jayden Hall's background."

"Jayden Hall?" Jeremy was startled for a moment as he found the name familiar. "Isn't that the young master of the Hall Family in Kyoland? Why do you want to investigate him, Mr. Levisay?"

"Do I need to give you a reason before telling you to do something?" Joaquin questioned dispassionately.

A chill ran down Jeremy's spine. "I'm sorry."

He had been working for Joaquin for a long time, after all. As such, he soon realized the crux of the problem.

"Mr. Levisay, do you suspect that the young master of the Hall Family has something to do with Lab X?"

Joaquin's gaze darkened when he heard Jeremy's on-point question.

"It's just a suspicion. After all, there are too many coincidences. Just look into the matter and inform me the instant you find anything."

"Yes." Certainly, Jeremy wouldn't dare to disobey him. He then hung up the call and started taking action.

Joaquin didn't fall asleep the entire night. Since he was suspicious of Jayden, he had to be more alert. Therefore, he couldn't possibly sleep soundly in Jayden's villa.

He went on to keep Katherine safe for the entire night. At the break of dawn the next day, his phone on the bedside table started vibrating.
