My Accidental Husband Is My Revenge Partner - Chapter 56

Finally Found It
“I asked, what are you doing here?” Jack repeated when Selene hadn’t replied to his question.

He had been sent back by Robert from the Harrison Company to retrieve an important document he had forgotten to take to work.

When he arrived inside, he went straight to the study room, only to find it opened with Selene coming out from it.

On the other hand, Selene tried to find the right words to explain why she was there. She opened her mouth to speak, but no words came out.

“Are you a thief?” Jack questioned as he glared at her.

He had always suspected Selene of being Anastasia, but after she drank the orange juice without showing any reaction, he knew she wasn’t Anastasia. However, the current situation raised his suspicion. What could she be doing in his father’s study room?

“I was going to the bathroom when I saw this door open. Michelle told me earlier that your father hadn’t returned yet, so when I saw the door open, I went inside to exchange pleasantries with him, but he wasn’t there,” she replied, hoping Jack would believe her. If he didn’t, he would report her presence in his father’s study room to Robert.

Jack stared at her, his expression unreadable. Without a word, he brushed past her and stepped into the study room. His eyes carefully scanned the files, the desk, and every corner of the room, searching for anything that might be out of place.

He meticulously checked each item, ensuring nothing had been disturbed, while Selene watched anxiously from the doorway, hoping her explanation had been convincing enough to satisfy his suspicions.

Unfortunately for him, Selene had been careful when she was searching for the files. She made sure she arranged everything she picked up.

When Jack was assured nothing was out of place, he turned to glare at Selene.

“I will choose to believe you for now, but I will keep an eye on you,” he said.

Selene internally sighed in relief but frowned due to Jack’s statement.

“Keep an eye on me, why?” She asked, confusion laced in her tone.

“Because I still don’t trust you. Your entire presence is suspicious,” said Jack before going inside the study room.

Selene stood, more confusion etched on her expression but she shrugged it off. She already got what she wanted.

She went back to Michelle’s room, where the latter had been waiting for her.

“What took you so long?” Michelle questioned when she saw Selene walking back into her room.

“Sorry, bad stomach,” she replied. “I think I need to go now,” Selene added.

“What? But it’s only been an hour since you came here.”

“I know but I need to practice my script, and rest for a little. Remember, I didn’t come to set today because I was sick,” said Selene.

Michelle nodded, standing up so that she could hug Selene.

After hugging, Selene turned to leave.

Michelle bit her lips, contemplating if she should Selene the question in her mind.

Before Selene could leave the room, Michelle stopped her.

“Selene, did you perhaps see Richard at the set yesterday?” She asked.

Instantly, Selene halted her steps, an unbelievable look on her face.

‘So she was the one who sent Richard to rape me yesterday?’ Selene thought to herself.

Anger surged through her body, wanting to strangle Michelle to death. But she had a smile on her face when she turned to face her.

“I didn’t, why do you ask?”

Michelle bit her tongue.

‘So he didn’t even show up at the set,’ she thought to herself.

“It’s nothing. It’s just that he sent me a text saying that he was coming to pick me up. But I left before he came,” Michelle replied.

Selene frowned slightly.

“I see,” said Selene, wondering why Michelle didn’t just ask Richard herself. They live in the same house.

After sharing a smile, Selene left the mansion.

Kace wasn’t around, so Xavier was the one bro who drove her to the Harrison mansion. Due to his car’s heavily tinted windows, they couldn’t see him.

Selene got into the car.

“I found it,” she said, staring at Xavier with a smile on her lips.

—

“You finally found the property papers you were looking for?” Kace screamed as he jumped in joy, becoming even more excited than Selene herself. He read through the words written inside, “It’s the one,” he added.

Selene stared at Kace, surprised by his reaction.

They had just arrived a few minutes ago when they saw Kace already in the mansion.

He looked tired with bags under his eyes.

Internally, Kace was cursing at Xavier for making him work so much. Another group of kidnappers had captured a few girls, but unfortunately for them, they were too late. The girls had been taken to the main hideout where they would be kept until they were sold.

They couldn’t find the girls since that area lacked a network and was untraceable. So for the past two days, he had been trying his best to find the location where they would be trafficked to pedophiles. But so far, nothing good has come out of it.

“Does this mean you can now have your property back?” Kace asked.

“Yes,” said Xavier. “I will have my lawyer look into this. After that, he will get new property documents ready for you and when Robert Harrison signs them, you will have all your properties back,” he added.

Tears brimmed in Selene’s eyes, she couldn’t believe what she was hearing. Everything suddenly felt easy for her.

Remembering something, she parted her lips to speak, “When I went to my dad’s office this week while searching for the files, I saw something.”

“What did you see?” Kace asked, curiosity laced in his tone.

“It was another property paper, but this one had the name Jeffery Clark written on it. I found it in his drawer,” she replied.

Instantly, she noticed the change in expression on Kace and Xavier’s faces. Their expressions shifted to ones of clear distaste, brows furrowing and lips curling slightly as they glanced at her.

“Who is Jeffery Clark?” She asked.
