Forced Into Marriage: My Husband’s Too Mean novel Chapter 436

Quentin was bribed by a meal. The first thing he did when he went back was to find Zayn and repeat Lindsey's words to him.

Zayn did not have any reaction when he heard it. He just stared at Quentin for a very long time.

Quentin felt uneasy being stared at like that. He quietly looked at himself and did not find anything wrong with his attire. Zayn’s gaze was too frightening.

He held on for a while until he broke down and stuttered, "Pr...President, what's wrong?"

Zayn sized him up. "What took you so long?"

Quentin did take a little longer. This should have taken him less than two hours, but he took more than three hours to return.

When Quentin heard this, he let out a breath of relief. "Oh, Aunt Wendy made lunch and asked me to stay for a meal. Aunt Wendy’s cooking skills really improved. The soup was absolutely delicious. If I wasn’t stuffed, I would’ve..."

The more Quentin spoke, the smaller his voice became, and eventually, he was completely mute.

If Quentin still could not tell that Zayn was in a bad mood, all these years of working with Zayn would be in vain.

Zayn slowly twirled the pen in his hand and narrowed his eyes as he looked at Quentin. "Are you full?"

Quentin nodded. "Yes, yes, very full."

"Was it delicious?" Zayn continued to look at him with cold eyes.

Quentin's voice was as small as a mosquito's buzz. "Ye...Yeah."

"Madam invited you for lunch?"

Quentin quickly took a step back and shook his head frantically. "No no no...it was Aunt Wendy. Madam was just being polite. Madam doesn’t even like me."

He just wanted to go back in time to slap himself five minutes ago. Why did he have to talk so much?

One could never use common sense to guess the thoughts of a man who had to force himself not to eat enough every day.

It was too late for Quentin to regret it. He used to eat at the Guggenheim mansion, but once Zayn got married, he went over less. How would he know that this time, he would provoke Zayn?

Quentin felt wronged.

Zayn finally withdrew his gaze and tapped the tip of his pen on the table. "Soren will be back soon, right?"

"Yes, he’ll be back from Honduras in three days at most," Quentin hurriedly replied.

Zayn nodded. "Okay. Then he’ll take over your job. You don't have to go to Jade Garden anymore."

Quentin lowered his head. His eyes suddenly lit up, but his voice was tinged with hesitation. "I don’t need to go?"

"What?" Zayn suddenly slapped his pen on the table. "You got a problem with this?"

It was not a big movement, but Quentin still shuddered. "No...no problem at all."

He minded that Sieben called him stinky.

Sieben had not seen him in a while, so she pouted in dissatisfaction. Soren could not win over Sieben, so he just went to look for Lindsey since it was getting late. He did not let Sieben hug him anymore.

Lindsey was looking at the first homework that Dezi brought back after he transferred schools. When she heard Mrs. Wendy greeting Soren, Lindsey hurriedly welcomed him.

"Why don't you go and rest first? What's the hurry?" Lindsey poured him a glass of water. "Come, sit down."

Soren took a sip. His face did not show the slightest trace of fatigue.

"Madam, these are the things you asked me to investigate." Soren took out a tablet from the bag he carried. Lindsey took it and tapped on it. A colorful slide appeared on it with some words.

"Ann had plastic surgery before. No one knew what she looked like originally. They said that her face was disfigured in a fire, so she had everything redone because she’s very rich. She’s a close friend of S.P. Corporation’s Chairman. Last year, she saved S.P. Corporation from a crisis by investing a lot of money in them. She finally became S.P. Corporation's President in the North American region."

Lindsey looked at the screen while Soren was explaining on the side.

"Can't you find her photo before plastic surgery? What did she do originally? What’s her family background?"

Lindsey flipped through the contents in the tablet but found nothing useful apart from knowing that Ann had suffered misfortune in the past.

Soren lowered his eyes and took a sip from the glass of water on the table. "No, her background is very mysterious. She just appeared out of nowhere. Moreover, she did plastic surgery on every part of her, so there’s no way to investigate."

Lindsey then recalled the uncomfortable sense of familiarity she got from Ann.
