Chapter 343


    Chapter 343 Burnt


    As for Josephine, she was on her phone looking for recipes online to cook for Jared. Since she was


    brought up in a rich family, she had never been required to cook a meal in her life. Despite that, for him,


    she was willing to learn as she cooked, regardless of how hard it was for her.


    Jared’s eyes were filled with love when he saw Josephine busy making dinner for him in the kitchen.


    Right at that moment, Jared’s phone rang.


    It was a call from Walter, and he asked courteously, “Mr. Chance, are you free now? General Long


    would like to meet you. He’s the head of the Department of Justice in Summerbank!”


    “Department of Justice? What do they want from me?” Jared frowned.


    “I’m not sure about that. He just told me he’s hosting a dinner party at mor Hotel, and he’d like you


    to be there!” At that point, Walter had no idea what Jared did in Summerbank. He was merely


    delivering Anthony’s message.


    “All right, I’ll head there now!” Jared nodded and hung up the phone.


    After that, he stood up and walked toward the kitchen to tell Josephine not to cook anymore.


    As soon as he stepped into the kitchen, he was met with a dark cloud of smoke. Quickly, he went to the


    stove and took the pot away from the fire.


    “Ah! What happened?” Josephine panicked when she saw the smokeing out of the pot.


    When Jared opened the lid, he saw the pasta was burnt to a crisp. The bottom of the pot was even


    covered with ayer of ck residue.


    Josephine then looked at Jared innocently after taking a nce at the pot. “Oops. I’ve forgotten to put


    water in the pot!”


    Jared burst intoughter and eximed, “It’s okay. We don’t have to cook anymore. Someone has


    invited us to dinner!”


    “Who?”


    “Mr. Grange called and said General Long from the Department of Justice in Summerbank wants to


    meet me at mor Hotel!” Jared answered truthfully.


    “General of the Department of Justice?” Josephine furrowed before widening her eyes anxiously. “Is


    this about what you did to the Whitaker family in Summerbank?”


    With that, realization had finally dawned upon Jared. “That could be it!” I don’t know him personally.


    Since he had requested to see me, something must be up!

    “Then should we just bail?” Josephine’s face was filled with anxiety.


    “Don’t worry. We should be fine.” Jared reassured. Since I’ve already gotten rid of all the surveince


    cameras, there’s no way it could be traced back to me.


    After getting changed, Jared and Josephine arrived at mor Hotel. To his surprise, there were other


    people invited to dinner as well. Since he didn’t just invite me specifically, maybe he’s not looking for


    me for what happened to the Whitaker family.


    Indeed, William, Glen, and other influential people in Horington were also present. They were there to


    butter Anthony up since he was from Summerbank.


    Everyone was greeting Jared as he walked in because almost everyone invited knew him. In response,


    Jared responded ordingly.


    In one of the corners, Lizbeth was in her uniform as she carefully watched every movement of the


    attendees. She was stupefied when she saw Josephine.


    She hurriedly walked up to her and asked in shock, “What are you doing here, Josephine?”


    “Lizbeth? What are you doing here?” Josephine was equally shocked to see Lizbeth. She then cast a


    gaze upon Lizbeth’s uniform andplimented, “You look good in your uniform!”


    “I’m here to apany General Long!” Lizbeth proceeded to size Jared up and queried, “Who’s he to


    you?”


    Josephine took a nce at Jared before shifting her gaze toward the pendant that was on her. “He’s


    Jared. He’s my boyfriend!”


    Since she had epted his token of love, their rtionship was finally official. Josephine was ready to


    introduce him as her boyfriend.
