Chapter 497

Jeff put on a straight face as he was racking his brain for an explanation.

“I was trimming some bushes. I’m just throwing away some trash,” Jeff said as he threw a bunch of branches into the trash can, which covered up the pieces of the invitation.

“Mr. Fordham, you can leave the manual labor to us.”

“It’s okay. The exercise helps with my recovery. Is Olivia up yet?”

“No, Ms. Fordham has been sleeping more recently. Sometimes, she sleeps until 11:00 am.”

Jeff thought about something and then said, “Sleeping more is good. By the way, I suddenly remembered that an old friend of mine is celebrating his birthday today. Can you lend me your phone? I want to make a call.”

Mona was an innocent woman. She didn’t think about it too much and handed him her phone.

“Here, Mr. Fordham.”

Jeff dialed a number and walked to a corner. Mona saw that he wanted some privacy, so she also moved away. But she’d raise her head to look at Jeff occasionally. Ethan had given specific orders to keep Jeff away from all outside information.

Mona figured that it wasn’t a big deal to let him make a call to a friend. She didn’t notice Jeff’s expression gradually growing more upset. He handed her the phone back after two minutes.
