Chapter 702: Very Good News

Entering the study on the second floor, Luke saw Jenny’s back.

This villa might be worth close to three million dollars, but naturally, it didn’t have a very nice view.

In fact, the window in Jenny’s study only looked out onto a small area dozens of meters away. It wasn’t grand at all, but it was quiet.

Luke coughed. “Hi! Good evening, beautiful Miss Gwenis.”

Jenny slowly turned around and stared at him. A moment later, she charged at him.

Luke raised his hands. “Wait, let me… hm?”

Their lips and tongues tangled passionately for a long moment before Jenny finally let go, panting but still clinging to him.

She exclaimed, “How did you do it? Unbelievable! Darling, did you use some spell on Miss Beth?”

Luke wanted to scratch his head, and could only carry her to a chair and sit down. “Alright, calm down a little and take it slow. We have a lot of time tonight.”

Jenny finally calmed down a little. Looking at his face and recalling his habits, she suddenly realized something. “You don’t care about news on finance or technology at all, do you?”

Luke chuckled. “No, you know I don’t understand any of that.”

Jenny touched his forehead. “Are you sick? This is very important to the phone company, and you didn’t even take a look?”

Luke exerted a little more strength to calm the excited girl down. “I like it when you tell me the news. That gives me even more satisfaction.”

Jenny hit him in frustration. “Damn it. Don’t trick me with such rubbish… Forget it, I’ll be happier if you talk more like that in the future.”

Luke was amused. Most people always wanted to hear what they liked, whether it was true or false.

Jenny then told him the “great news” about the phone company.

Island Dragon Electronics suddenly announced that morning that a serious accident at one of their production bases would affect their chip production plan for the second half of the year, though the orders for major clients would still be completed as per contract terms.

Luke didn’t understand what was so great about that. “Doesn’t that mean that the production of the chips for our phones will also be postponed?”

Jenny, on the other hand, looked at him strangely for a long time. She couldn’t help but kiss him again before she said, “That’s what the newspapers said. But this afternoon, I received a notification from Island Dragon asking me to go over and discuss revisions to the chip production plan.”

Luke didn’t say anything and continued listening to her.

“In the end, I met Beth Patrick Thompson in person and made a deal for our chips to be supplied in advance,” said Jenny.

Luke was confused. “Wait, something serious happened at Island Dragon’s production base. On one hand, they said that delivery of goods would be delayed for some clients, but on the other hand, they’re going to supply our chips in advance. What’s going on?”

Jenny smiled. “On the surface, it’s probably because of the problem at the production base, but their workers also can’t earn a salary for nothing. Before resuming supply for the major clients, these workers will first process chips for other clients, and won’t be transferred back until the problem at the production base is resolved.”

Luke rubbed his forehead. “Wait, can they use their workers like that?”

This wasn’t like laying bricks; there was no need to move anywhere! Why did this just sound like nonsense?

Jenny smiled again, but this time, it was a mocking smile. “Do you know which company’s contract deadline was put off?”

Luke rolled his eyes and suddenly asked, “The Thompson family’s NTC Phone Company?”

Stunned for a moment, Jenny asked in surprise, “How did you know… Oh, you actually read the news and pretended not to know?”

Luke shook his head and said with a smile, “If you want me to guess and you didn’t say it outright, the answer is probably the one that doesn’t make the most sense. Is there anything more unreasonable than a daughter refusing to supply her own father’s phone company with chips? I think there are very few.”

Jenny sighed in admiration. “Fine, Detective Luke, you’re right… in part. Island Dragon is blocking the supply of chips to the Thompsons’ NTC company. Can you guess why?”

Luke asked, “Is it a family conflict over money?”

Jenny nodded. “I pretended to let slip our visit to her father’s place, and her expression didn’t look right.”

At that point, she sighed. “Also, she couldn’t hide her state back then from me. Disappointment, pain, anger, conflict…”

Luke hugged her and said, “Wait, I lied a little just now.”

Just as Jenny was reminiscing, Luke interrupted her thoughts, and she asked curiously, “What lie?”

Luke said, “I think I know why Miss Beth is unhappy with her family. When I went to Poland to investigate, I saw only her own security team searching for her, while no one from her family showed up.”

Jenny was suspicious. “It’s not like you would know who the Thompson family sent to investigate.”

Luke said, “I investigated a few people in key locations near the hotel where Beth went missing who were most likely to be witnesses with leads. I spent a little more money and learned from them that only one group of people was investigating. It was Beth’s personal security team.”

Jenny was confused. “Maybe they hadn’t gotten that far in their investigation?”

“Miss Beth is worth at least billions. Why would her father send out such an unprofessional investigation team when such a heavyweight member of the family is missing?” Luke sighed. “The Thompson family is powerful and influential. This wouldn’t have happened if they really wanted to investigate.”

Jenny immediately understood.

When there were too many coincidences, it didn’t make sense.

When Beth went missing, it could only be because someone “wanted” her to be.

Looking at her, Luke comforted her. “Beth’s family may have some underhanded thoughts, but your father and brother don’t. You have enough time to think about how to get along with your father’s new family. You have the initiative.”

Jenny was silent for a long time. Leaning on Luke’s shoulder, she said, “Yes, I have plenty of time and opportunities.”

A moment later, she raised her head. “Let’s talk proper business.”

Luke said with a smile, “Just now that was proper business too. The CEO’s mood is like a barometer for a phone company. If you enter the company with a dark face, won’t the employees tremble in fear like chicks?”
