Chapter 478
Since that chip was the only clue they had, Nash treated it with utmost care.
Jupiter retrieved a small ziplock bag and placed the memory chip in it before handing it over to Nash. “I’ll look into
the murderer tonight and meet you at Baroque Group tomorrow
morning!”
“Alright. Thanks for all the hard work!”
Nash ended the conversation on a polite note.
The two got into their respective cars and drove away after that.
By the time Nash returned to Royal Bay, Hera was already fast asleep.
He crept under the covers after washing up.
“Mm… Nash…”
Hera called his name sleepily.
Nash felt his desire rising when he heard her soft voice.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNash drew in a deep breath and forced himself to suppress his urges. He lay down in bed and closed his eyes.
Hera turned around. Her pink pajama sleeve had ridden up, exposing her arms.
Her arm was fair and smooth, and it landed on Nash’s neck.
Nash immediately felt his mouth go dry.
He carefully moved Hera’s arm aside.
Then, Hera placed her leg on top of him.
Her thigh just so happened to land right on top of his crotch.
His pajama pants were there as a barrier between their skin, but Nash could still feel the warmth emanating from
her smooth skin.
Nash’s Adam’s apple bobbed up and down.
If it were not for everything that had happened the past two days, he would have rolled atop this little vixen that
very minute.
Sigh…
He had to hang in there for a while more…
It would be their first time sleeping with someone, and it would not do to be hasty.
Nash closed his eyes, allowing Hera to nestle her head into the crook of his neck.
The next morning, Hera was awoken by the buzzing sounds of her phone.
When she opened her eyes sleepily, she immediately noticed the hardness her leg was rubbing against.
A blush appeared on her face as she glanced at Nash.
After carefully removing her leg, she grabbed her phone from the bedside table and answered it.
She spoke quietly, worried she might wake Nash up.
“Mom…”
“Hera… Something has happened to Mr. Jacobs’ family!”
Lauren spoke frantically.
Hera’s eyes widened. Her mind went blank.
She immediately connected the dots.
Mr. Jacobs was involved in the fire that had broken at Baroque Group.
Now, he was being silenced!
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLauren said solemnly, “A fire broke out at Jade Lakeside Gardens around 11 o’clock last night. All five of Mr. Jacobs’
family, including Mr. Jacobs himself, burned to death!”
Hera’s heart skipped a beat.
Mr. Jacobs had a three-year-old granddaughter.
He had even brought his granddaughter to their year-end dinner last year!
The little girl was extremely adorable. Hera had even held her in her arms.
After a moment’s silence, Hera choked out the words, “Are you at the office now? I’ll head there right now!”
“I’m at the office, but your father is at the funeral parlor taking care of Mr. Jacobs’ funeral now. He also needs to
drop by the branch office to make sure the workers haven’t gone off schedule. You and Nash should come to the
headquarters!”
Hera immediately headed to the headquarters after washing up.
Before she left, she texted Nash to let him know where she was headed.
Moments after Hera left, the innocuous-looking bronze cauldron placed on Nash’s bedside drawer began glowing.
Nash had been listening to Hera’s conversation with Lauren.
