Heart Hunting

Chapter 9

The next day, the sun shines brightly, and the busy city life starts again.

Kenny comes to MD building by himself. He stands outside the law firm on the 9th floor, and looks up at

the big words of the company's name on the center. A ray of gleam light flashes in his eyes, and he

slowly walks in.

Tall figures are always very conspicuous. Amy, who is in charge of the front desk, sees Kenny at first. A

trace of doubt crosses her eyes. She, who is well-trained, doesn't forget to come forward quickly. She

smiles and asks politely, "Mr. Murphy, what can I do for you?”

“Is Miss Green here?” Kenny's tone is calm, and his eyes have a sense of alienation.

"Yes, please come with me.”

He walks into the office hall like a proud "intruder", breaking the stable atmosphere of the office,

attracting people to take a deep breath and become alert.

They stare at him almost at the same time. Seeing he walks to Poppy's office room, they whisper, "isn't

that Kenny?"

"Yes, it's him, but why does he come here?”

"Miss Green has made him lose the lawsuit and compensate 70 million dollars. Is he here to trouble

Miss Green?”

At the same time, Kenny follows Amy to poppy's office.

Poppy isn't surprised by his arrival, but she has to pretend to be surprised. After Amy leaves, she says,

"70 million compensation should not bother Mr. Murphy to come to me in person, right?”

Kenny walks towards her, looks down at her in a proud manner, and asks, "don't you really know why

I'm here?”

He glances at Poppy.

Poppy shakes her head. "I really don't know that Mr. Murphy would care the compensation so much.

You don't have to come by yourself. Such a small matter should be left to the legal counsel.”

Kenny takes out the A5 size paper of last night. The paper is very well preserved. There are no

wrinkles around it, only two crisscross wrinkles in the middle.

He points at the pattern in the paper and asks, "what does this mean?” Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

She led him out last night, and deliberately let him miss her. She was playing hide and seek with him?

Poppy looks at it carefully and asks, "is this a flower?”

“Poppy, don’t disguise!” Kenny looks at her calm face, he even wants to tear it off.

Poppy's beautiful eyes look back at him and she nods, "I see. It turns out that Mr. Murphy is not here

for compensation, but to discuss the flower with me...The picture is good, I wonder which of Mr.

Murphy's confidantes painted it?”

Kenny doesn't speak, he watches her for a long while. As a lawyer, she has a good psychological

quality. Her smile is gentle but alienated.

This is the first woman in such a style he met.

"In that case, are you interested in being my confidant?” She likes to play with hypocrisy? Then he can

play it with her.

“Hum, interesting.” Poppy seems to hear a big joke, "this is the law office where I work. If you want to

talk about personal matters with me, let's make an appointment after work...”

"Sure, I'll wait for you. Let's talk about the business.” Kenny sits down in the chair opposite to her and

says seriously, "as the CEO of Dakings Group, I would like to invite you to join us as legal counsel.”

"Legal counsel? I let you lose 70 million in compensation. Instead, you said you would hire me as a

legal counsel? Should I take it as your cherishing for me? Or should I say that you are not well

intentioned?”

She is trenchant and straightforward.

"Whatever you think. You can name the terms of salary!” Kenny stares at her and seduces her with

rights and interest.

"Thank you Mr. Murphy for cherishing me so much, but I I have to work now. Mr. Murphy, please go

back!” She rises cleanly, goes directly to the door, opens it, and waits patiently for him to go out.

Interesting!

Kenny sneers and doesn't stay for long. When he comes to her, they look at each other. He finds that

her indifferent and calm eyes don't arouse any emotion.

It proves that she doesn't put the thing he mentioned in mind at all. He says meaningfully, "we'll see

each other soon.”

Poppy gives him an "interesting" answer, "I look forward to, maybe next time, I will let your company

pay more than 70 million!”

Kenny laughs instead of angry, and nods his head. They have plenty of time!

At the same time, a woman in all black comes over.

When she sees Kenny walking out towards her, her feels incredible but adores him, she can't move her

eyes away from him.

Kenny walks out of the door and leaves straight away. His face becomes cold again.

Poppy has noticed the woman in front of her. In just three seconds, she has observed her carefully...

The black waist long skirt perfectly decorates her exquisite figure. The black high-heeled shoes create

a sense of distance. Her long hair is glossy and beautiful. She is dressed in black. Only the Queen

Margaret series leather handbag, and the colored crystal have some other colors.

Her eyes are small and sharp, but they're not against her face at all. Instead, it's unforgettable.

Seeing her standing there and thinking, Poppy ignores her and goes back to her desk and sits down.

Jean turns around and tries to catch another look at Kenny, only to find he's gone.

Next second, on the contrary, when she looks at Poppy, she looks arrogant.

She doesn't even knock on the door, but looks straight at Poppy. "You are the woman who let Dakings

Group lost the lawsuit and lost 70 million?”

Poppy smiles and stares at her with equal contempt. "Who are you?"

Her pretty face is scornful and covered with an expression that says 'why should I tell you'.

Poppy's attitude stuns Jean a little. Thinking of the purpose of her coming, Jean changes her attitude

and says, "my name is Jean. I want you to be my representative lawyer and win the lawsuit for me!”

Jean!

Poppy searches for information in her brain. She’s the black widow!

Poppy remembers that there is a woman named Jean in her appointment.

Jean Barnes, 32, is a socialite in the city, but is also famous as a "black widow"!

This woman may be born to have no husband. She has been married four times. Each marriage lasted

for at most two years or less than half a year. Her husbands died of various accidents.

So the nickname "black widow" comes into being.

Poppy recalls the information in the documents. Jean just got the inheritance of her third husband at

the beginning of last year and married her fourth husband at the end of last year, but it has been only

half a year since she got married. Last week, her fourth husband died!

As for the cause of death, there are very strange words in the document, died naked in bed.

Poppy looks at the woman in front of her, she looks more bleak in black.

Poppy withdraws her thinking, opens one of the papers, and says, "if Miss Barnes wants to talk about

the lawsuit, please come in. I'm not in the habit of looking up at other people.”

Poppy says, and she is surprised to find herself using what Kenny has said to her.

Jean knows that Poppy does not flatter her as other people did. She admires her courage. She goes in

and sits down.
